Description of function
Zone Paging
Zone paging can be done from any master
station if an external PA system is available.
Group Paging
Even if no external PA system is available,
paging to all stations in a given area can be
done from any master station, although this
mode of paging cannot be made to stations
which are occupied. Normal calling can also
be made from the stations through which the
paging voice is being heard, but the paging will
be interrupted in such cases.
When the called party is already on the line,
the party calling, if he deems it necessary, can
send a Priority signal to the called party. After
a response from the party called, the urgent
call is allowed to take priority and go through.
When the called station is busy or in the
"Privacy" mode, this function allows forced
interruption for priority conversation.
Operation
When the party called is on the line, as indi-
cated by the busy tone, dialing
transmits
a priority tone to the called party. The same
tone is audible at the calling station. The call
is connected if the called party also responds
by dialing
In this event, the original con-
versation partner of the party called is tem-
porarily placed on hold and the holding tone is
transmitted to his station.
Upon completion of the priority conversation,
the party who placed the priority conversation
dials
at his station. This allows the
interrupted conversation to resume.
This function is available only for those sta-
tions specifically programmed for this func-
tion, with programming station #200. When
the station called is busy or in the Privacy
mode, as indicated by the busy or privacy
tone, dialing
sends a priority tone. This
priority tone is transmitted for a few seconds
and then the call is put through.
In this event, the original conversation partner
of the party called is put on hold and a hold-
ing tone is transmitted to his station.
Upon completion of the priority conversation,
the party placing the priority call dials
at
his station to allow the original conversation
to resume.
