Paging with ADVANCE Head End
(SmartSeries
®
Amplifiers)
Paging and party line operation with the ICS SmartSeries option is the same as standard station operation
with the following differences:
•
The operator hears a steady
page-confirmation
tone in the handset/headset earpiece when they press
the handset pressbar or the headset page switch.
•
A page
pre-announcement
tone, if programmed, will sound when the page-confirmation tone ends,
and the operator can make a page.
•
Hearing a
busy
tone in the handset/headset earpiece indicates the system is busy and it rejects the
page.
Paging without ADVANCE Head End
Paging and party line operation is the same as standard station operation.
Station Time-out Features
The ICS SmartSeries option supports a
page-duration
limit that sets the maximum duration of each page.
•
Reaching the page-duration limit terminates the page.
•
The page-duration limit is fixed at 2 minutes when used without an ADVANCE head end.
The ICS SmartSeries option supports an
off-hook
limit that sets the maximum off-hook duration for the
station.
•
Reaching the limit places the station electrically on hook.
•
Momentarily place the handset on-hook to reset the timeout condition.
•
The off-hook limit is 8 minutes when an ADVANCE head end is not present.
