Abstract
The communications system may include wireless two-way communications equipment having selectable functions and various operational features. Control modules each include mechanisms for providing indicia representative of the status of the features of the communications equipment and mechanisms for generating data for controlling the functions to be selected on the communications equipment. A group of the control modules are coupled to a panel module which selectively communicates with each of the control modules in the group. An interface circuit is coupled to a plurality of the panel modules for selectively communicating with each; the interface circuit includes a microprocessor for writing indicia data to each of the selected control modules via the selected panel module and reads the control data generated by the control modules. The periodic scanning and reading of information is utilized to ascertain changes in the data.
