The CAT5 cable connects to the RJ45 socket on the rear panel of the
paging station. This socket is a NEUTRIKTM connector designed to be
used with the XLR style housing (model NE8MC) to improve reliability.
Normal RJ45 connectors can also be used.
Plugging and unplugging the cable while the system is powered up
may result in the system locking up and is not recommended. If this
should happen, reset the DigiPage by switching off, then on.

To accommodate different speech levels, there is a gain control
on the base of the DigiPageM. This ships set to minimum and may
be adjusted to suit. Increasing this control too far may cause the
paging station to distort if loud or close speech levels are
encountered.

In an RS485 network (of which the DigiPage is part of) it is
important to terminate the last device in the network CAT5 RUN.
Two jumpers are provided for the data transmission and the voice
transmission to be terminated if that Paging Station is at the end
of a CAT5 RUN (see diagram).Shipped as terminated.
When making changes be sure to power off the
system and disconnect from the network.
NOTE: these stations are not compatible with the
DigiPageJr network system.
