About the 1203 Call Switch

The 1203 is a LED backlit switch in a single gang stainless steel faceplate that
connects to compatible Algo SIP endpoints. The functionality of the switch is
determined by the configuration of the SIP endpoint to which it is connected.

Typical applications for the 1203 Call Switch are:

• To initiate a multicast alert or announcement from the attached SIP endpoint

• Make a SIP call from the attached SIP endpoint to a preconfigured extension

and either play a notification or permit hands-free communication (for
endpoints equipped with a microphone).

The 1203 Call Switch connects to the 'Relay Input' port of the SIP Endpoint. This port
is capable of detecting a dry contact closure (normally open or normally closed) for
which the input is named. However, the electronic circuitry in the endpoint is also
capable of providing power to illuminate a call switch and measure external
resistance to detect wire faults and multi-state events.
