Paging, External 2 - 637
P
Paging, External
Description
With External Paging, a user can broadcast announcements over paging equipment
connected to external Paging zones. When a user pages on 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 Electra Elite IPK II system allows up to eight External Paging zones, or a common zone
output provided by the KSU (Zone #9). All other zones (#1~8) requires 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 ADP 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’s warehouse and
outside loading dock at the same time. Combined Paging is available for zones 1~8 and All
Call. Refer to
Paging, Internal on page 2-643 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 will
include 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 will be made on the
external zones only.
Conditions
The Electra Elite IPK II provides a common zone output provided by the KSU.
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 Electra Elite IPK II
common zone output provided by the KSU does not allow talkback.
A common zone output is provided by the KSU 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.
