Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 59
Does the full-feature front
panel configuration of the
APX 7500 Consolette
support attachment of
the MCD 5000 Deskset?
Yes, both the full feature and blank front configurations support the
MCD 5000 Deskset. All O5 control head features remain available when the
full feature Consolette is used with the MCD 5000.
Can the APX 7500
Consolette decode an
Emergency Alarm?
The APX 7500 Consolette can decode Emergency Alarms. Emergency
Alarms are typically generated by a subscriber when the user presses the
orange button. This alarm is sent over the air to the Consolette. The
Consolette can decode this and if configured can report it to the console via
the ACIM interface, generate a display message on the O5 control head, an
alert tone, and also assert a VIP output. Supported signaling types include:
MDC, ASTRO Conventional, Type II Trunking (both analog and digital
talkgroups) and APCO P25 Trunking. Note that on trunking systems, the
Consolette can only decode Emergency alarms while on the control channel.
This means that once the Consolette is on a voice channel, it cannot receive
the control channel any longer and may miss emergency alarms. The
Consolette will move from the control channel to the voice channel during
trunking voice calls. The SCAN feature may also cause the Consolette to
miss Emergency Alarms.
Can the APX 7500
Consolette be used with
the MC 2000 Tone
Remote Control
Deskset?
Yes. Up to 10 MC2000s can be connected in parallel.
Can the APX 7500
Consolette be used with
DGT 9000s/RCH 3000s/
MC 3000s/MIP 5000s?
No. The APX 7500 Consolette supports the MCD 5000 Deskset. The
APX 7500 Consolette does not support remote controlhead style desksets
such as the DGT 9000, RCH 3000, MC 3000, and MIP 5000.
Note: There are other configurations of the MIP 5000 that are supported
such as the TRC configuration and the E&M configuration.
Are VIP Outs available
on the APX 7500
Consolette and if so,
what are they used for?
There are 3 VIP Outs available on the rear panel of the Consolette. The
connector style is a 14-pin terminal connector and each Consolette ships
with a mating connector.
These outputs can be configured to activate for a variety of things but the
most popular for Consolette users are:
1. To activate in the event of decoding an Emergency Alarm.
2. To activate in the event of user’s button press on the front panel (ex. Aux
Control).
3. To activate in the event of going into Failsoft or Wide Area or Site
Trunking.
Are VIP Outs only
available on models with
the O5 control head
present?
The VIP Outs are now supported on the rear panel of the Consolette on all
models – both the model with the O5 control head and the model without the
O5 control head. To activate in the event of an incoming Call Alert / Page,
Selective / Private Call, Phone Call, or Message (i.e. Horn and Lights Alarm
feature).
Are Headsets supported
on the APX 7500
Consolette?
Yes. There are connections provided on the rear panel for two headsets.
These connections are designed for the Headset Jackbox FHN7470_ and
the corresponding Headset Base with PTT CDN6281. Various Plantronics
headsets are supported – refer to the price pages for more information.
