Audio sources can be utilized in several ways within the
intercom system:
•
An audio source can be assigned to a keypanel listen
key. This permits the keypanel operator to listen to
the source by activating the listen key. To assign an
audio source to a key, click the KP button on the
toolbar, then press the F1 key for help with keypanel
setup.
•
The audio input to which an audio source is
connected can be forced to the output of an intercom
port (forced crosspoint). This forces the audio to
always be heard at the output. This might be useful,
for example when a belt pack or similar device needs
to hear an audio source, but does not have listen keys.
To force a crosspoint, click the XPT button on the
toolbar, then press the F1 key to get help on this
feature.
•
A program source can be used with interrupt
foldback (IFB). Using IFB, the program source will
normally be heard at some specified intercom output
port. Then, when someone presses an intercom key to
talk to that output port, the program audio will be cut
off to permit conversation. The program audio will be
restored when the intercom key is released. To setup
an IFB, click the IFB button on the toolbar, then
press the F1 key on the computer keyboard to get
help.
7.13 General Purpose Interface (GPI)
Connector (J27)
7.13.1 General Description
J27 provides 8 general purpose control inputs and 8 gen-
eral purpose control outputs. The control inputs can be as-
signed, using ZEUSedit, to activate intercom ports, party
lines, etc. The control outputs can also be assigned, using
ZEUSedit, to be activated by keypanel keys. The control
outputs can be used to control lighting, to key a remote
transmitter, to activate a paging system etc.

You may see the GPI outputs referred to as relays,
and the default names for GPI outputs are RY01,
RY02 etc. Although the actual GPI outputs from
Zeus are not relays, they are generally used in the
same way that relays would be used. If you connect a
UIO-256 Universal I/O Frame to Zeus, this device
has actual relays which are assigned using the GPI
output feature of ZEUSedit.
7.13.2 Connections
Pin-outs for the GPI inputs and outputs are summarized in
Table
2, page 10. The GPI inputs require +5 to +12 VDC
for activation. Figure 23 shows a typical connection. The
GPI outputs are open collector outputs and require an ex-
ternal voltage to operate. These outputs pull to common
when activated. Figure 24 shows a typical connection.
7.13.3 Programming GPI Outputs
You name GPI outputs using the Other Alpha button. You
can assign GPI outputs to keypanel keys by clicking the
KP button and then following the steps you would nor-
