60.6 User Interface

The PC Call Station Client screen is divided in four areas 
(panes):
1 Call/BGM selection pane - A pane that allows 

you to select predefined calls or BGM channels. 
There are two tabs in this pane, one for selection of 
Predefined calls and one for selection and control of 
BGM channels.

2 Zone selection pane - A pane that allows you to 

select zones and zone groups. It shows the status of 
the zones and zone groups using icon 
representations.

3 Control pane - A pane that allows you to control 

the predefined call or BGM channel that you 
selected from the Call/BGM selection pane.

4 Status bar - Shows the status of the PC Call Station 

Client.

Use the following procedure to make a call:
1 Select  tab  Predefined to get a list of predefined calls 

for this user.

2 Select a predefined call from this list in the call 

selection pane.

3 Optionally add zones to or remove zones from the 

selection in the zone selection pane. The selection 
may also contain zone groups.

4 Start the call with the Start button in the control 

pane. The button changes into a stop button so that 
the call can be stopped. While the call runs, its 
progress is shown in the progress bar in the control 
pane: start tone, message(s), live speech and end 
tone. A predefined call does not need to contain all 
of these elements.  

5 Stop the call. A call without live speech will finish 

even if not stopped.

6 If the button has been configured for abort on repress 

operation, it is possible to abort the call now. The 
difference between stopping and aborting a call is 
that a running message or tone is completed before a 
call stops while it is aborted immediately in case a 
call aborts.

The status bar may show a warning to the user in case of 
licensing/dongle problems. Optionally, depending on 
the user configuration, the list of predefined calls also 
contains a button to acknowledge and subsequently 
reset an emergency state.

60.6.2.1 Predefined call selection buttons 

Note
When the 

PC Call Station Client becomes

disconnected from the 

PC Call Server, a new 

login is required after fixing the problem.

But when the 

PC Call Station Client starts up 

while it is disconnected from the 

PC Call Server 

(e.g. the network cable was disconnected or its 

network switch was powered off), a warning is 

given. After fixing the problem, the 

Station Client must be closed now and restarted 
in order to reconnect; there was not yet a remote

connection established that can be restored.
