Startup and Operational Check
When power is applied, all LEDs will first flash green, then
red (unless the beltpack is in dark operation. See “RKP-4
Operation”. This confirms that all LEDs are working correct-
ly. Also, the call waiting window will display asterisks (****)
then dashes (----).
NOTE: If the RKP-4keypanel cannot establish data commu-
nications with the intercom system, asterisks will continue to
display. Check the intercom cable connections (in particular,
the data connections).
Several symptoms may occur if the keypanel address in incor-
rectly set:
1. There may be no indication when there is an incoming call.
2. When an intercom key is pressed to talk, the destination
may not hear the audio.
3. The call waiting display may behave erratically.
If any of these symptoms occur, recheck the keypanel address
switch setting.
Always reset the RKP-4B after changing the address setting.
Do this by cycling power on the base station.
Assigning Intercom Keys
You can assign RKP-4 intercom keys using AZedit. For help
with key assignment in AZedit, click the KP button on the
program’s toolbar, then press the F1 key on the computer key-
board for help.
You can also assign keys at the keypanel, with the following
exceptions:
1. Special functions (auto follow, auto listen, etc.) cannot
be assigned.
2. You can only assign one destination to each talk key
(talk level 1). If you need to assign special functions, or
activate two destinations with a single talk key (talk
level 1 and talk level 2) you must assign the key using
AZedit.
If you assign talk level 1 from the keypanel, it will erase any
talk level 2 assignment that you previously assigned using
AZedit.
Assign intercom keys at the RKP-4 as follows:
1. Make sure the key that you want to assign is off.
2. Press the <SCROLL UP> or <SCROLL DOWN> key
to view the list of intercom names in the call waiting
window.
a. If you start by pressing Scroll Up, the list will start
with the top of the point-to-point names. If you start by
pressing scroll down, the list will start with the bottom
of the point-to-point names. Examine or assign a name
from a different scroll list as follows:
b. Make sure that the CWW (call waiting window) is
clear. (Dashes should display.) Tap <COPY> then
<LISTEN 4> to clear CWW.
c. Tap the copy key and then tap the Scroll Up button.
The CWW displays P-P for point to point. Click on the
<SCROLL UP> or <SCROLL DOWN> button to go
through the different scroll lists available
d. To select a particular scroll list, tap the <COPY> button.
e. You can go through the names in the selected scroll list
by tapping the <SCROLL UP> or <SCROLL
DOWN> button.
f. Tap the <COPY> key then <LISTEN 4> to return to
normal operation.
