There are three ways of accessing the zones with this configuration. First the zones may be accessed individually. Second, the
zones may be accessed in groups. Third, all zones can be accessed simultaneously.
TO ACCESS AN INDIVIDUAL ZONE
, dial the number of the line connected to the TPI-100 controlling that zone. An alert
tone is signaled to the zone to announce the page and back into the phone as a confirmation tone.
TO ACCESS A ZONE GROUP
, dial the number of the line connected to the TPI-100 controlling that zone group. An alert
tone is signaled to all zones in the group to announce the page and back into the phone as a confirmation tone. If zone paging is
in progress when a group page is initiated, then an alert tone will be signaled back to the zone page telephones and they will be
put on "Hold" for the duration of the group page. Also, a page alert tone signal will be heard at all zone speakers within the
group. At the conclusion of the group page, telephone still on "Hold" (did not hang up) will receive a reconnect tone, and the
interrupted zone paging will be automatically reconnected. When a group page is in progress, any attempted individual zone
access within the group will be prohibited and an interrupted ringing signal (unanswered call) will be heard in the telephone
attempting to page.
TO ACCESS ALL ZONES SIMULTANEOUSLY
, dial the number of the line connected to the TPI-100 controlling "All
Call". An alert tone is signaled to all zones to announce the page and back into the phone as a confirmation tone. If individual
zone paging or group paging is in progress when an "All Call" page is initiated, then an alert tone will be signaled back to the
zone and/or group paging telephones and they will be put on “Hold” for the duration of the "All Call" page. Also, a page alert
tone signal will be heard at all speakers in the system. At the conclusion of the "All Call" page, telephones still on "Hold" (did
not hang up) will receive a reconnect tone, and the interrupted group, or Zone Paging will be automatically reconnected. When
an "All Call" is in progress, any attempted individual zone or group paging access will be prohibited, and an interrupted ringing
signal (unanswered call) will be heard in the telephone attempting to page.
When FZC-3 Units are used as page devices, the "Group Page" and the "All Call" occurs slightly different. If a FZC-3 is being
accessed through an individual TPI-100 and a "Group Page" or "All Call" occurs, the FZC-3 will be reset so that the incoming
"Group Page" or "All Call" may select zones. When the "Group Page" or "All Call" is completed and the individual TPI-100 is
reconnected, the user must re-access the original zone(s) being paged.
