4.12 Assigning Ancillary Devices (Loud Bell, External Page, or
Music on Hold)
There is often a requirement to control ancillary devices via the telephone system. The DX-80 system provides one
dry contact closure (standard) for interface of the various devices.
You can assign the contact closure to one of the following three uses.
• Loud Bell Control: If the system is installed in high noise environments, there is often a requirement to equip
a loud (high-gain) ringing device. Using the contact in this way provides for control of an optional, ancillary
loud ringing device. The device is connected to the contact as a trigger. When ringing occurs on CO lines in
CO line groups designated for loud bell, the contact closure operates and controls the connected device.
• External Page Control: The contact may also be programmed to control external paging apparatus. When
programmed in this manner, the contact closure operates whenever the external paging port is activated.
• Music Source Control: The contact may also be programmed to control Message On Hold devices. In this
mode of operation the contact closure operates whenever CO lines are placed on hold. This function can
reduce wear on electromechanical devices that provide the message on hold function.
