Arcadia: Is it possible to connect a FOR-22 directly to an Arcadia
Yes its possible to connect an FOR-22 directly to the 4wire port of an Arcadia and use call signal to trigger the radio PTT
Using Arcadia R4.1 or later
Power the FOR-22 from the IMF frame
Connect to Arcadia 4w port , using a straight CAT5 Cable
Set receive call signal on the 4w port
The following checks were made
Q1) see if talking directly to FOR-22 port triggers it's relay if you press the call button on
Arcadia front panel
Helixnet bp
Fsii bp
Panel up/down blue buttons
Answer #1
Yes : By sending call signal from Arcadia front panel, Helixnet BP, FS-II, FS-Icon, V-series panel.
All trigger the FOR-22 relay.
Q2) Place FOR-22 into a PL chnl and see if it triggers whenever someone talks on the chnl
Answer #2
Yes this works
This requires logic to get working.
Set up some logic to make a "call on talk" for non-helixnet devices.
It requires a line of logic per device
For HelixNet devices you can set up a secondary action in each role to call on talk.
You may want to turn off the call alert mode on the wireless bps because there is a lot of buzzing and beeping whenever someone talks to the PL with the FOR-22 attached
