functions on Access 3000 Compact. Please note that term MCU refers to the Access
3000 Compact Control Unit or Manual Control Unit, LCU refers to a Local Control Unit

Absence Registration
Users on the system can be registered absent by one of three methods:
a) By an operator from the MCU, LCU, Management Terminal or Access 3000 Server.
b) By any person from a telephone.
c) By putting the users’ pager in an absence/charging rack.
Automatic Paging - DLC Records
Paging calls on some systems can be initiated using remote contacts known as Direct
Line Connections (DLC). These may be activated from doorbells, alarm panels, nurse
call systems, etc. These calls can be arranged to be followed by an operator generated
speech message by displaying the appropriate message on the display of either the
MCU, LCU or PCOI.
