Paging, External
Description
With External Paging, a user can broadcast announcements over paging equipment
connected
to external Paging zones. When a user pages one of these external
zones, the system
broadcasts the announcement over the speakers. Like Internal
Paging, External Paging allows a
user to locate another employee or make an
announcement without calling each extension
individually.
The UNIVERGE SV9100 system allows up to eight External Paging zones, or a
common zone
output provided by the CPU (Speaker 9). All other speakers (1~8)
require a port on a
PGD(2)-U10 ADP, with a maximum of two external paging circuits per module. You
must have
four PGD(2)-U10 ADPs to get the eight external zones. In addition, each
external zone has an
associated relay contact. When a user pages to a zone, the
corresponding contact activates
(closes). This provides for Paging amplifier control.
Combined Paging
Use Combined Paging when you want to simultaneously Page into an internal and
corresponding
external zone. For example, you can Page your company warehouse
and outside loading dock at
the same time. Combined Paging is available for zones
1~8 and All Call. Refer to Paging,
Internal for more on setting up Combined Paging.
In addition, you can program a
Function Key as a Combined Paging key. Using the
External Page Function Key, when an All
Call External Page Function Key is
programmed, it includes both the external zones and the
assigned internal zone(s).
If the internal page zone is busy or there are no extensions in a page
group, the
announcement is made on the external zones only.
Conditions
The UNIVERGE SV9100 provides a common zone output provided by the
chassis.
For more than one external page zone, External Paging requires
PGD(2)-U10 ADPs
and customer-provided paging equipment.
Talkback paging requires the use of a PGD(2)-U10 ADP. The
UNIVERGE SV9100
common zone output provided by the chassis
does not allow talkback.
A common zone output is provided by the chassis and is considered
Zone 9 when
programming.
A Class of Service option is available in system programming to
prevent display
telephones from showing incoming paging
information. This allows the system to
save processor time and
speed up system operation.
DID and DIL trunks do not ring external page speakers. Only
trunks defined as
normal in Program 22-02-01 ring external page
speakers.
Paging keys can be assigned on Programmable Function Keys and Direct Station Selection
(DSS) Consoles to simplify External Paging operation.
