Points Configuration
Address
The parameters of the Address are configured as the parameters described below:
<Address>: Can be set StartCall, StopCall, and AbortCall.
- StartCall: Creates a call and reproduces the audio. When using the StartCall address the next parameters need to be configured as the preference of the customer.
P.s: The tag must be of kind Digital.
- StopCall: Stop a call. When using the StopCall address, just the “Index” parameter needs to be configured to reference the same StartCall Index created.
P.s: The tag must be of kind Digital.
- AbortCall: Abort a call. When using the AbortCall address, just the “Index” parameter needs to be configured to reference the same StartCall Index created.
P.s: The tag must be of kind Digital.
<Priority>: Priority of the call.
Ranges:
0...31: BGM call priority. Always partial call, regardless of the partial settings.
32...223: Normal call priority.
224...255: Emergency call priority. Always partial call, regardless of the partial settings.
<Output Handling>: There are three options, Partial, Non Partial, and Stacked.
- Partial: Partial calls are calls that proceed even in case, not all required zones are available.
- Non-Partial: Non-Partial calls are calls that require the entire routing to be available at the start of the call and during the call. When during the call a part of the routing becomes unavailable, the call is aborted.
- Stacked: Stacked calls are called that extend partial calls with replays to previously unavailable zones.
<Stacking Mode>: There are two options, ‘Wait for all’ and ‘Wait for each’. This parameter is ignored when Output Handling is set to: Partial or Non-Partial.
- Wait for all: Wait with replay for all zones to become available.
- Wait for each: Start a replay for each zone to become available.
<Stacking Timeout>: Amount of minutes for a stacked call to wait for available resources. The time-out countdown is started at the moment the original call has ended. The accepted range is 1 to 255 minutes. This parameter is ignored when Output Handling is set to Partial or Non Partial.
<Live Speech>: True = Live speech. False = No live speech.
<Repeat>: How many times the messages should be repeated. Value can be:
-1: Repeat infinity.
0: Play message once.
1 … 32767: Repeat count.
<Routing>: List of names of zone groups, zones and/or control outputs. The routing is formatted as a comma-separated set of resource names. No spaces are allowed before or after the separation of commas.
<Start Chime>: The name of the start chime. May be empty, no leading or trailing spaces are allowed.
<Message>: Name of prerecorded messages. The messages parameter is formatted as a comma-separated set of message names.
<End Chime>: The name of the end chime. May be empty, no leading or trailing spaces are allowed.
<Audio Input>: Name of the audio Input (only used when live speech is true).
<Call Timing>: Indicates the way the call must be handled. There are three possible values: Immediate, Shifted and Monitored.
- Immediate: Broadcast to the selected zones and zone groups when the call is started.
- Shifted: Broadcast to the selected zones and zone groups when the original call is finished to prevent audio feedback during live speech.
- Monitored: Broadcast when the call is not canceled within 2 seconds after the monitoring phase has finished.
<Monitor Destination>: The destination zone of the pre-monitor phase of a monitored call. This parameter is ignored when Call Timing is set to Immediate or Shifted.
<Live Speech Atten>: The attenuation to be used for the audio input during the live speech phase. Range: 0 … 60 dB.
<Start Chime Atten>: The attenuation to be used for the chime generator during the Start chime phase. Range: 0 … 60 dB.
<End Chime Atten>: The attenuation to be used for the chime generator during the End chime phase. Range: 0 … 60 dB.
<Message Atten>: The attenuation to be used for the message generator during the start prerecorded message phase. Range: 0 … 60 dB.
<Index>: ID to identify this command. Can be typed a string.
