WhenAPMpagingconsolesareconnectedandpagingoverfiberisenabled,thenchannel
“Fb1”isdedicatedforpaginguseandcan’tbeusedtoexchangeotheraudiochannels.For
thisreason,channel“Fb1”isalwaysmarkedwith“Paging”.
Anoverviewoftheaudiosignalstransmittedoverthefiberinterface:
- Fiber channel 1 (Fb 1): Thischannelisdedicatedforpagingpurposes
