Activation
Start, Stop or Toggle the broadcast.

Destination
The Zone(s) that will receive the broadcast. This may be left blank if access panel keys are used for zone selection.

Volume
The Volume range is from -40 to +6 decibels.

Override pre-selected Zones by Zone Select
Check the Override pre-selected Zones by Zone Select box to use dynamic destinations.

- This will also override the static destination list if defined.

Always Include
This is used together with dynamic zone selection to ensure that some critical zones are always part of the audio activity regardless of zone selection.

• Auto Select selected - the call will start regardless if a zone selection button is pressed or not.
  
• Auto Select not selected - if a zone selection button is not pressed, the call will not start.

On Busy
When one or more destination zones are busy with higher priority broadcasts, the following options are available:

Reject - Reject the broadcast

Go Partial - Run the broadcast now on free zones

Queue - Put the broadcast in queue and run when all zones are free

If no value is chosen, a default value is used.

• For input actions Program Activation, Message, the default value is Go Partial.
• For input action Live Speech, the default value is Reject.

On Interrupt
When a broadcast is interrupted by a higher priority broadcast, the following options are available:

Cancel - Cancel the broadcast

Mute - Mute the broadcast in interrupted zones while a higher priority broadcast is running

Mute All - Mute the broadcast in all zones when interrupted

• For input actions such as Program Activation, Message, Live Speech, the default value is Mute.

Release Delay
Time in seconds (0, 20 s) before the zones and resources are released after the broadcast has ended.

Escalation ID
ID used if the escalation function will be used to change parameters of this call. It is possible to add multiple ID's.

Example of use

Use case 1: On access panel

A common setup is where one button is used to record the recall and another button to dispatch the recall. This will allow the operator to verify the message before dispatching it out on the PA system if the ECPIR-P or the |ECPIR-3P is used.

Dak1 press_action: Recall, record with start
Dak1 release_action: Recall, record with stop

Dak2 Recall, control with zones.

With this setup the operator can dispatch the recorded message to a static set of zones with the priority set on the recall control button. The operator can also decide to re-record the message if it is not suitable for dispatching.

Use case 2: On access panel, with auto dispatch

Another common setup is where one button is used to both record the recall and to dispatch the recall. This will allow the operator to instantly dispatch the message after recording it. This can be used if there are problems with feedback or other challenges in the area of the access panel. It can also be combined with the repetition parameter to repeat the message for some times.

Dak1 press_action: Recall, record with start
Dak1 release_action: Recall, control with zones.

With this setup the operator can record and dispatch the recorded message to a static set of zones with the priority set on the recall control function. This function is suitable for all Access panels.

Use case 3: On control input for integraiton

For integration with PABX it is often impossible to mute local speakers as the source of the audio is not known. Using the recall functionality can solve this issue as the audio playback will be delayed until it is finished with recording.

Ci on_action: Recall, record with start. Source should be a Audio program
Ci off_action: Recall, control with zones. Message source should be the device itself

In this setup the recall will be delayed until the PABX indicate that the audio recording should stop by releasing the control input.
