operator must click the Talk
and Listen buttons to contact
or listen to the intercom.
For hands-free operation for
both the help desk and the
intercom user, select Automatic. The intercom user presses the
intercom’s button once to activate the intercom’s microphone
and put the console into Listen mode. The user speaks into
the intercom and does not press the button again until she/
he deactivates the microphone. The Listen button activates
automatically when the Talk button is de-activated.

by the console operator instead of by an intercom user)
only if the administrator or user password was entered
when the software was opened/started or when the console
operator is prompted for the password. Otherwise, an
intercom user must push a button on the IPI to activate
the intercom’s microphone, allowing the console to listen.
