Operation
Plug the power adapter into the Global MPI-2. The Power LED will be on and
solid while the Status LED will blink for approximately 10 seconds. When the
Status LED stays off, the MPI-2 is ready to use. Assure that the Local MPI-2 is
also in a ready state. The Global MPI-2 adds a second all-call only phone page
input and a second all-call MIC page input to the system. The Global MPI-2 is
used to page multiple buildings that also have a Global MPI-2 at the same time
while the Local MPI-2 allows in-building paging. The priorities of the Local and
Global MPI-2 paging depend on the firmware of the units.
Phone Paging:
1. Plug the analog phone line (RJ11) into the MPI-2 Phone input.
2. Dial the extension of the phone line. The Status LED will turn on.
3. Wait for a tone from the MPI then press 00# for an all-call page. The
Global MPI-2 cannot make a zoned page.
4. Wait for a tone from the MPI then make the page. Hang up the phone
receiver when the page is complete. The Status LED will turn off.
The telephone input requires a POTS appearance line using an RJ11 connector.
Here is the basic specification for a POTS appearance line:
A CO (central office) POTS line is a 2-wire analog appearance.
1) It is a 2 wire (Tip and Ring) analog appearance.
2) It is configured to be loop start.
3) Battery voltage is 48 Volts.
4) Loop current of 23 milliamps.
5) Must have DTMF signaling capability.
6) Must have hang-up (winking) supervision.
Generally, the use of an FXS card (Foreign Exchange Station) or an ATA card
(Analog Telephone Adapter) is required not an FXO (foreign exchange office)
card.
Assign an extension to the port. Calling the extension will activate the paging
system.
MIC Paging:
Direct MIC connection
1. Connect a microphone to the MIC input.
2. Press the MIC key to make a page.
