Operation
D. Using a Talk-A-Phone unit with a PBX System (Mode II & Mode III )
Many PBX Systems use non-standard, propriety tones and signals. Examples of
such PBX systems are the Rolm Systems 9751, 9000, 8000; AT&T systems 75, 85;
and Northern Telecom Meridian and SL1. Depending upon your configuration, you
should activate either the MODE II or MODE III software options that are built into the
Talk-A-Phone unit.
If you are using a Talk-A-Phone EC-8 Consolidator, set the Talk-A-Phone unit to
MODE II by simply entering codes *14*2*, *18*5*, and *55*, each followed by an
acknowledgement beep. You must also program the EC-8 Consolidator into MODE
II. See Model EC-8 Consolidator Instructions.
If you are
not
using an EC-8 Consolidator, simply enter special codes *14*3*, *18*5*,
and *55*, each followed by an acknowledgement beep, to activate the MODE III on
the Talk-A-Phone unit.
If you are using an EC-2 Consolidator on a PBX, you should enter special codes
*14*3*, *18*5*, and *55*, each followed by an acknowledgement beep, to activate the
MODE III on a Talk-A-Phone unit. An EC-2 consolidator does not have to be
programmed.
Remember, the Talk-A-Phone unit requires a primary phone number to operate
correctly. If you are using it with a PBX in "hot line" or "ringdown" mode, enter the
phone number as *13*1234567* if used with a consolidator, or *13*12345* if no
consolidator is used. Also enter *40*0* in addition to MODE II or MODE III
commands.
E. Auxiliary Circuits
The Auxiliary Input allows you to activate the unit via remote devices that use a dry
contact closure, such as Model SA-1 Scream Alert, an elevator emergency stop
button, a sensor for a stuck elevator or open elevator door, smoke detector, alarm
switch, etc. When the device is activated, the Emergency/Information Phone will
automatically call out and establish full communication.
To use the auxiliary input feature, contact Talk-A-Phone to request an ETP-AUXIN-KIT at
no charge. This is not required for models ETP-400-MOD2 or ETP-400V-MOD2.
The Auxiliary Outputs allow you to remotely activate two different functions, such as
turning on a siren, light, or CCTV camera, opening a door, etc. In addition, Auxiliary
Outputs can be programmed to automatically activate a strobe, siren, or CCTV when
the call button on the unit is pushed. This is particularly useful when the unit is being
used with a strobe light in parking facilities, campuses, and access control
applications. The auxiliary outputs are rated at a maximum of 50 mA at 30V DC or
AC.
