Lever key panels

Lever keys can:

  • Have both talk and listen labels assigned to the same key in EHX.
  • Be used as either talk or listen keys, depending on whether the key is moved up or down. If the key is moved upwards then the listen function is selected while if the key is moved down then the talk function is selected.

The lever keys normally default to latching unless the non-latching option is configured in EHX under Global Settings (Latch Disable set to True) for the destination port. In the default state (latching), pressing the lever key momentarily up or down latches the key.

If you hold the lever key in the talk or listen position for more than 200ms, the lever key does not latch and the connection terminates as soon as the key is released.

When the key is inactive, the talk/listen status indicator below the key is lit amber. When a talk path is active (key pressed down) the status light is lit red, and when a listen path is active (key pressed up) the status light is lit green.

An incoming call to the panel will cause the Reply key indicator to flash red. To take the call, press the reply key down. To clear the call press the Reply key up.
