Control Events

When using FreeSpeak II, Control Events are used to trigger an event on an action (usually a crosspoint).

For example, the system can be configured to send a call signal to turn on an FOR22 radio when a beltpack talks in a channel.

To use Control Events you must select a source and a destination and then set the type of action you want to happen when the source contacts the destination.
