The Akuvox R28 panel displays a configurable group call on the home screen, with the default text "Security Center," which can be modified.
First, let's see where to configure the devices to be called with the group call and how to modify the default text (if needed).
Here you must enter the devices (even if it's just one) that you want to call via the group call:
Here you customize the text associated with the group call:
What can this group call be used for?
For example, in a residential building, you could name this call "Concierge" and configure it to call the doorman.
But what if during certain hours we don’t want this group call to appear, for example, when the concierge is not working?
Is it possible to configure the system so that the group call via the green button only appears at certain times of the day?
Yes, thanks to the firmware "228.30.111.30-OnlyDemo.rom."
Once the R28 panel is updated, we will have the option to schedule the appearance of the group call button.
To understand how to do this, let’s imagine we want the button to appear only from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
This is what needs to be configured (and then click "Add"):
Why 5:59 PM and not 6:00 PM?
Is this an error?
No, because the 5:59 PM minute ends exactly when 6:00 PM begins.
Once this is done, the schedule will be listed along with the defaults:
Now we just need to assign the schedule to the group call:
This will be the result:
From now on, on the R28 screen, the group call button will only appear between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
From 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, we will see this:
During other hours, we will see this:
What should you do if you want to create a group call button that only appears at night, for example, from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM?
In that case, on the scheduling page, you need to create two schedules:
SCHEDULE1 12:00 AM - 7:59 AM
SCHEDULE2 8:00 PM - 11:59 PM
Then, both schedules must be assigned to the group call.
