Call Escalation

Call Escalation is a special input function that can be used to modify (escalate) call parameters, for example, to raise the priority of a Live Speech, Audio Program Control, or Message Control function.
Call Escalation is local to the access panel so it is not possible to escalate across different panels. This function is typically used for Live Speech to escalate normal PTT use to important PA.

Call escalation configuration

• Drag-and-drop Input Actions -> Call Escalation to:

Access panel -> Programmable Keys -> Key -> p1-px -> press_action/release_action

Call Escalation

The Escalation ID parameter on the Call Escalation function must correspond to the Escalation ID parameter on the input action that will be escalated. When this is triggered, the function with the corresponding ID will get the new priority.
