2.3 Alarm Signal/Door Bell
Description
The system can be configured to recognize the status of an external contact (normally open or
closed). The system will signal assigned iPECS IP and LDP Phones when the contact activates.
This capability is commonly employed to provide remote Alarm or Door Bell signals a user.
Assigned stations receive the Alarm Signal, either a single tone burst repeated at 1-minute
intervals or a continuous tone. The Alarm Signal may be terminated at the phone by dialing the
Alarm Stop code or, if assigned, pressing the
{ALARM STOP}
button. To rearm the Alarm
function, the alarm condition must be cleared and the Alarm signal terminated.
When used as a Door Bell, assigned iPECS IP and LDP Phones receive a single tone burst each
time the external contact is activated and no reset is required.
