WARNING: Do not connect the Tabletop Controller to a phone line as equipment failure or damage may result.
USING CONTROLLER BUILDER Launch Controller Builder by double-clicking the Controller Builder icon. Controller Builder will launch with the Dial Keys button selected.
Note: This menu item is available only when Controller Builder is not connected to the Tabletop Controller. Note: When the Tabletop Controller is connected to a Converge unit, not only must the baud rate on the Converge be set to either 38,400 or 57,600, but flow control must also be set to OFF--refer to your User’s Manual for instructions on how to set these parameters, if necessary.
Note: This menu item is available only when Controller Builder is connected to the Tabletop Controller.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR CONTROLLER Understanding the functions of the key grouping buttons, description fields, command editor, and status editor are best explained by describing the process for customizing the various keys for your controller. Customizing the Dial Keys Customizing the dial keys enables you to determine which telco device your controller will control for dialing purposes. The following process describes how to customize the dial keys for your controller: 1. Click the Dial Keys button.
5. Click the Download Document to the Controller icon or the Apply button to transfer the settings to the controller. The controller display shows the status of the settings being downloaded to the controller and when the transfer is completed. Note: If you do not download the settings to the controller before closing Controller Builder, then your Tabletop Controller WILL NOT be programmed with the new settings--changes made in Controller Builder are not automatically downloaded to the controller.
The fields in the Command Editor and Status Editor at the bottom of the Controller Builder window change depending on which key you choose to customize. For example, if you are customizing the MUTE key and choose the MUTE command, then you can only select the device type, DID, command, channel, group, and value for the press and release states (see Figure 2.8).
2. The process for customizing the User Defined Keys is the same as has been discussed previously in Customizing Dial Keys and Customizing Room Audio Keys. Follow those procedures in order to customize your User Defined Keys. 3. The Active Text and Inactive Text fields allow you to input the text (no more than 16 characters) you wish to have displayed on your Tabletop Controller’s display window when the specific state occurs.
Controller Builder Status Bar The status bar displays the current status of Controller Builder, including the error status and connection status with the Tabletop Controller. When Controller Builder is connected to the Tabletop Controller, the status light at the far right of the status bar illuminates green and the word "Connected" is displayed.
