Optional Telephone Operation (Model 10959-208 only)
The Model 10959-208 AMI can provide passcode-protected telephone access to the system to allow
telephone access only if the correct
Remote Access Security Code
is entered. The remote access code is
used to prevent unwanted callers from directly accessing the system. Callers must enter the correct
security code to gain access to the system if the system is configured to use a security code. Day and
night modes can have different security codes.
The telephone interface has multiple operational modes. Configure the appropriate mode using the ACT
software application.
The operational modes of operation are as follows:
Page/Party
®
—Delivers live voice pages (not pre-recorded) to the page line output.—The party line is
held open following the page.
Record Page—Records each page before delivery to the page line output.
Mixed Mode—Records a page, delivers it to the page line output, and holds the party line open
following the page.
Live Page Mode—Delivers a live voice page (not pre-recorded) to the page line output. The party
line is not open following the page.
Ring Mode—Plays a preconfigured message on the page line to signal an incoming call.
Manual/Disabled—The telephone interface does not automatically answer a phone call. However, an
input can be configured for
manual access
to allow an attendant to manually answer the phone, and
transfer calls to a party line.
The AMI can support two temporal modes of operation:
day mode
and
night mode
. The day mode and
night mode can be configured independently of each other. As an example of different day and night
modes; the day mode may be configured to allow callers to page and wait for a subsequent party line
communication, while the night mode is configured to play a tone over the paging system alerting
personnel of an incoming call. The call can be answered at any Page/Party
®
station in this mode.
Page/Party
®
Operation
Page/Party
®
operation allows the AMI to play messages/alarms and connect phone calls (Model 10959-
208) to a Page/Party
®
system.
Page/Party
®
operation has the ability to generate the VLC tone during a message/alarm that gives
Page/Party
®
stations a signal to change the volume of the message/alarm being played.
The operation of the Model 10959-209 telephone interface works as described above when the AMI is
interfaced to a Page/Party
®
system. The party line used for telephone operation in a Page/Party
®
system
is hardwired in the system, and cannot be changed by the caller or the AMI configuration.
A user on a Page/Party
®
system can also initiate a call using a feature called
party hot dial
. Party hot dial
is configure with the ACT tool and allows the AMI to recognize when a station has gone off-hook on a
designated party line. The AMI then connects that party line to the telephone interface and automatically
dials a preprogrammed telephone number. The call is terminated after a hang-up delay when the station is
placed back on-hook.
Optional ADVANCE Operation
Page/Party
®
operation allows an AMI to play messages/alarms and connect phone calls to an ADVANCE
system. The operation of the telephone interface includes all page modes as described above when the
Model 10959-209 AMI is interfaced to an ADVANCE system.
