Mute
This mutes the local audio output from the remote deskset. It remains active for the
programmed length of the mute timeout.
Off-hook Speaker Mute
This mutes the speaker when the handset is off-hook, but audio is still passed to the
handset for semi-private conversations. It remains active for the programmed length of the
mute timeout.
Unselect Mute
This mutes the Unselect audio output on a Model 284. If the Unselect audio is being
summed with the selected line audio out the front speaker, the selected line audio will
continue to be passed normally. The mute remains active for the programmed length of the
mute timeout. This is not available in the Model 280.
Call Decoder Mute
This mutes the speaker and handset speaker when active. It is a toggle function which can
send function tones whenever the key is depressed, but typically is configured for not
sending function tones. Function tones are typically only assigned to this key if it is
desired to be able to mute or unmute a parallel remote with this key.
The Call Decoder Mute function is typically used in conjunction with the Call Decoder
feature. If the Call Decoder is enabled on this line, the function is toggled by the call alert
unmute (group or individual) and mute frequencies. If the Call Decoder is enabled, the
function defaults to the muted state and returns to muted whenever the handset is placed
on hook. On a M280, the LED associated with this key will flash rapidly when a call alert
is decoded.
Alert
This causes the remote to key the transmitter and send the alert tone specified. One key
can be defined for each of the five alert tones; beep, warble, slow siren, fast siren, steady
tone.
Intercom
This establishes the intercom function between remote desksets without keying the
transmitter. It can be programmed to operate with or without function tones. If function
tones are sent when turning on/off intercom, then any parallel Model 280s or 284s can also
be forced into or out of intercom.
