Product Overview
The Model 10959-209 GAI-Tronics Audio Messenger Interface (AMI) tone/speech generator broadcasts
telephone pages, pre-recorded alarm tones, pre-recorded speech messages, etc., and is designed
exclusively for ADVANCE systems that support either one or two AMIs.

Configurations
Alarms
The ACT tool includes pre-recorded tones suitable for almost any application. The tones include typical
emergency tones (e.g., a siren, slow whoop) and signaling or process tones (e.g., a gong, steady tone). All
of the tones and speech messages broadcast by the AMI are stored in MP3 file format. For applications
where a required tone is not supplied, any tone recorded or stored in an MP3 file format can be used with
the AMI.
Timed Events
The AMI has the capability to perform several functions based on the time of day. With the ACT
software, events can be scheduled to occur at any interval (e.g. hourly, daily, weekly, monthly).
Telephone Operation
The Telephone Interface has multiple operational modes. The appropriate mode is configurable by the
AMI Configuration Tool software application.
The AMI can provide passcode-protected telephone access to the system. The AMI can be configured to
allow telephone access only if the correct remote access security code is entered. The remote access code
is used to prevent unwanted callers from directly accessing the system. If the system is configured to use
a security code, callers are required to enter the correct code to gain access to the system. Day and Night
modes can have different security codes.

The modes of operation are as follows:
Page/Party® - Delivers a live voice page (not pre-recorded) to the page line output. The party line is
held open following the page.
Record Page - Records a page, and delivers it to the page line output.
Mixed Mode - Records a page, delivers it to the page line output, and holds the party line open
following the page.
Live Page Mode - Delivers a live voice page (not pre-recorded) to the page line output. The party
line is not open following the page.
Ring Mode – Does not deliver a page, but instead plays a configured message on the page line to
signal the incoming call.
Manual/Disabled – The Telephone Interface does not automatically answer a phone call. However,
an input can be configured for “Manual Access” to allow an attendant to manually answer the phone,
and transfer calls to a party line.
The AMI can support two modes of operation: Day and Night Mode. The Day and Night modes can be
configured independently of each other.
As an example of the Day and Night modes, Day mode may be configured to allow callers the ability of
paging and subsequent party line communications. The Night mode may be configured to play a tone
over the paging system alerting personnel of an incoming call. In this mode, the call can be answered at
any Page/Party
®
station.
ADVANCE Operation
The Page/Party® operation allows for the AMI(s) to play messages/alarms and connect telephone calls to
an ADVANCE system.
Since the AMIs are interfaced to an ADVANCE system, the operation of the Telephone Interface is as
described above, and includes all page modes. The selection of a party line is hardwired in the
ADVANCE system, and cannot be changed by the caller or the AMI configuration.
Scheduled events and live pages can be played through the ADVANCE system to a specified zone group.
Zone groups are configured using the ACT tool. Configured zone groups can be assigned to individual
events, messages, or the AMI auxiliary microphone jack.

Installation
Power Disconnect. The power cord is the main power disconnect for all units.
Disjontion de l’alimentation. Le cordon d’alimentation est la disjonction d’alimentation principale tous les appareils.
Para Desconectar la Alimentación: El cable de alimentación es el medio principal de desconexión del equipo.
Netzanschluß. Wenn man das Netzkabel aus der Steckdose zieht, dann ist die Spannungszuführung zum Gerät vollkommen
unterbrochen.
CAUTION To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
ATTENTION Pour réduire le risque d’incendie, utiliser uniquement des conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou
de section supérieure.
PRECAUCIÓN Para aminorar la posibilidad de incendios, utilice solamente cable de telecomunicacio nes de calibre 26
(sistema AWG americano) o mayor.
VORSICHT Um die Brandgefahr zu verringern, verwenden Sie bitte nur Fernmeldekabel der Stärke Nr. 26 AWG oder
höher.
The Model 10959-209 is mounted in a standard EIA 19-inch electronic equipment rack and requires 1U
(1.75 inches) in height. Mount the AMI into the rack using the four 10–32 × ¾-inch screws provided.

Data
The DB-9 connector labeled DATA, located on the rear of the AMI, interfaces to the Master Control Unit
(MCU) serving the ADVANCE control system. Depending on the position of the MODE Switch, the
AMI will respond to one of two communication pathways, i.e. COM1 or COM 2 (RS-485) indigenous to
the MCU.
Port 1 & Port 2
The RJ-45 connectors, labeled PORT 1 and PORT 2, interconnect to the External Audio Interface (EAI)
PCBA associated with the ADVANCE system, and allow multiple audio paths (page, party line 1 and
party line 2) to be interfaced to a SmartSeries system. In addition to audio paths, the ports also serve as a
pathway for input and output control contacts to facilitate play, off-hook, and system failure notification.
Mode Switch
The slide-switch labeled MODE, determines which communication pathway from the MCU the AMI will
use. In position 1 the AMI utilizes COM 1 pathway, whereas in position 2 it uses COM 2. The system
configuration requires that one of the two required AMI be set to MODE “1” and that the second AMI be
set to MODE “2”, thus allowing a sharing of MCU resources.
Status
The 3-position terminal labeled STATUS allows external notification of an AMI failure and/or assurance
of healthy and nominal operation via a fault relay (single Form C, contact maximum current = 1A).
Nominal operation is indicated by an open circuit between the FLT and COM contacts; a fault condition
is indicated by a closed circuit between FLT and COM.

Overview
The Audio Messenger Interface Configuration Tool (ACT) software is used to define and change
configurations for the Audio Messenger Interface (AMI), and is included with all models of AMI. To
retrieve configurations and play audio messages, the AMI accesses a CompactFlash
