FCC Statement (Part 15) — Radio Frequency Interf e re n c e
The APS 120/360 Custom generates and uses radio fre q u e n­cy energy and if not installed and used in strict accord a n c e with the manufacture r ’s instructions, may cause interf e rence to radio and television reception. Testing is being conducted for compliance with the limits for a Class B device in accord a n c e with the specifications in Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This testing is designed to provide reasonable protection against such i n t e rf e rence. However, there is no guarantee that interf e re n c e will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interf e rence to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the APS Custom unit off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interf e rence by one or m o re of the following measure s :
-Reorient the radio or TV receiving antenna.
-Relocate the APS 120/360 Custom unit with respect to the radio or TV receiver or vice-versa.
-Plug the APS 120/360 Custom unit into a different outlet so that it and the radio or TV receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experi­enced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interf e rence Problems,” helpful. This booklet was pre p a red by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and is available from the U.S. Government Printing O ffice, Washington, DC 20402. Stock order No. 004-000­0 0 3 4 5 - 4 .

I n t r o d u c t i o n

The APS Custom is designed to meet the needs of today’s professional workforce. Enabling quick and efficient paging of individuals in or away from the office, the APS Custom provides a solution for many of today’s call routing problems. An automated paging system, the APS Custom connects to the existing Key/PBX telephone system to automatically page individuals, or groups of individuals (local wireless paging only), using an overhead public address system, local wire l e s s or wide area paging.
The APS Custom
offers a variety of
benefits, including:
During normal PBX operation, callers that reach the APS Custom are typically asked to select from paging a party, or transfer to another extension. The exact prompts may vary based on user-customization. When paging is selected, the desired party’s exten­sion and the party can be immediately paged via overhead, local wireless or wide area paging. For more detailed information on caller paging options, refer to section 5.5,
Sending a Page.
T h e re are also eight contact closure inputs available on the APS Custom. These inputs allow switches outside the telephone system to activate pages. Switch inputs can range f rom simple transactions, such as an alarm, to a more sophisticated machine transaction that triggers the APS Custom to page the requested part y. When the APS Custom detects a contact closure, it can automatically trigger a pre-defined script containing any combination of overhead, local wireless and wide area pages and announcements. For example, in the f reezer section of the local supermarket, freezer temperatures are contro l l e d via automatic t h e rmostats. If one or more of the thermostats fails, freezer temperatures can

I n c reasing Transmitter Coverage

Before installation, it is important to consider the paging area to be covered by the transmitter. The range and performance of the transmitter can be improved with the proper positioning of the antenna. The antenna is installed inside the building near the t r a n s m i t t e r. For example, to cover a large paging area, or in an area where transmission interf e rence is expected, you can boost overall perf o rmance by positioning the antenna as high up on the building as feasible. When paging throughout a multi-story building, better perf o rmance may result from positioning the antenna at the midpoint of the building. To ensure optimal placement of the transmitter, refer to section
3.6.6, Performing a Pager Site Survey.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the paging system without the
antenna connected to the paging transmitter. Damage to the paging transmitter may result.

There are four components for configuring the Overhead Paging functions of the PBX (see Figure 3-4).
PA Access Code
Access Delay
Generate Pre-Announce Tone
Repeat Page
The PA Access Code field identifies a code of up to seven digits for engaging Overhead Paging. A ‘D’ within the string represents a delay as specified in the Access Delay field.
Access Delay defines the number of seconds re p resented by the ‘D’ within the PA Access Code. The PCI automatically inserts the ‘D’ at the end of the Overhead Paging Access String. To insert additional delays (i.e., if DTMF is re q u i red to select a specific zone), insert a ‘D’ in the appro­priate spot in the PA Access Code. The access delay can be 1 to 9 seconds.
Generate Pre-Announce Tone is available as a selectable field that instructs the APS Custom to i n s e rt a tone between overhead pages. The tone is played when two or more overh e a d announcements are queued in the same time period. The system defaults to Pre-Announce To n e o ff. To activate the Pre-Announce Tone, check the box.
Repeat Page is a selectable field that instructs the APS Custom to repeat the overhead page automatically when selected. The system defaults to Repeat Page off. To activate Repeat Page, check the box.
3.2.3.4
The Outside Line field within the Wide Area Paging box (see Figure 3-4) enables you to specify the number(s), often a ‘9’, necessary to dial outside of the PBX. A string of up to four digits can be entered in this field.
3.2.3.5
To use local wireless paging with the APS Custom, you need to specify the type of trans­mitter being used. Select “XMT #2” in the transmitter box of the Local Wireless Paging section (see Figure 3-4, PBX Parameters Screen).
There is also an option to Enable Carrier Detect. The Carrier Detect option enables the Wave Ware Transmitter to search for other activity on the frequency. If there is none, the page will be sent. If so, it will wait for clearance and then send the page. The default for this option is disabled (i.e., no carrier detect).

All database fields, excluding the PBX Extension Length, can be modified. PBX Exten­sion Length must be set correctly during initial setup. If set incorrectly, or if future mod­ifications are necessary, the database must be recreated with the correct extension length.

Selecting a Database

In some cases, more than one database may exist. To select which database to modi­fy, access the PCI Main Dialog Box (Figure 3-1). The name of the open database is located across the top of the APS Custom PCI window. To open a database other than the one identified at the top of the screen, follow the steps below.
1) Select the Open Database icon. A list of the available existing databases appears on the screen.
2) Using the up and down arrow keys, highlight the database that you wish to modify and select OK. The system prompts you to confirm that you are finished configuring the current database and wish to open a new database.
3) Select OK to confirm you are finished and to open the newly selected database.

The User May Disable Paging Option enables users to disable all paging options. To allow users to disable all paging, the User May Disable Paging option box (see Figure 3-11) must be checked. The system defaults to prevent users from disabling paging.
3.4.1.6
You must enter the appropriate pager characteristics for each user.

Specifying Pager Attributes

For local wireless paging, enter pager type and Pager ID (CAP code or Local ID). For wide area paging, enter pager service contact information.
Local Wireless Paging Information
To configure the local wireless paging information (see Figure 3-11), follow the steps below.
1) Select the specific type of pager used, numeric or alphanumeric. The system defaults to numeric paging.
2) Enter the seven-digit CAP code in the “Local Pager ID” field, usually stamped on the back or side of the pager. The CAP code enables the system to signal the appropriate pager.
Wide Area Paging Information
To configure the wide area paging information (see Figure 3-11), you must have a detailed knowledge of the specific paging service, including contact numbers, service messages, prompts, etc. Using the information entered, the PCI builds a script that enables the unit to access the paging services automatically. The script identifies the PIN code (if required) and other information necessary to automate paging. Experienced users can enter script information directly using the appropriate script abbreviations.
W precedes the digit representing the wait time (in seconds) before proceeding to the
next step in the paging process. Actual wait time depends on the specific paging
service and its associated user prompts and timing. Wait time can be from one to nine seconds .
NOTE: Longer wait times can be obtained by using multiple instances. For
example, to obtain a 15 second wait time, simply enter W9W6 (or, 9 + 6 seconds = 15 seconds).
M indicates where in the script the caller’s telephone number is to be inserted. All other digits, including
the string.
For example, to enter the wide area paging information for User A:
1) Enter the Wide Area Phone Number for the associated paging service. This should include specific dialing information (e.g., a “1” before the area code, etc.).
2) On the Wide Area Information field, type W7 to instruct the system to wait seven seconds after dialing the paging service access number before entering the PIN.
3) Type the PIN for the specific user, e.g., 1234567#.
(star) and # (pound), are sent in the sequence specified by

s o f t w a re must be physically connected to the serial port on the APS Custom.
NOTE: If the APS Custom is in use, it will not connect.
3 • 2 2
3.6.2

Configuring PCI Direct Connect and Remote Access Setup

Before running the APS Custom PCI software, the desired connection type to be used for communicating with the APS Custom must be selected in the Procomm Plus application. If using direct connection, the proper Com port must be selected. If using remote access, the proper modem must be selected. (Use modem PEC Code 2569-839).
To select a connection type, do the following:
1. F rom the start menu, launch Procomm Plus. The Procomm Plus Data Te rminal
window should appear on the screen. The connection type will appear on the Quick Select Line at the bottom of the terminal window. If you do not see the Quick Select Line, go to the View drop down menu and select this option.
2 . The connection type will be listed as “direct connect none” or “direct connect - Com1”
or something similar. An installed modem can also appear as a connection type.
• If APS Custom PCI is to use a direct connect, click on this field and select the d i rect connect Com port the APS Custom is connected to.
• If APS Custom PCI is going to use the remote access feature to connect to the APS Custom, click on this field and select the modem to be used.
3 . Run the APS Custom PCI script. (Click on the APS Custom PCI button from the
meta keys line on the lower left of the screen. If you don’t see the meta keys line, go to the view drop down menu and select the meta keys option.)
4. Open the desired database.
5. From the Main Dialog window, click the System Data button.
6. In the System Data screen, look at the Remote Access Information area. If Direct Connect is going to be used, make sure the Remote Access check box is not checked. If a modem is going to be used to remotely connect to the APS Custom, check the Remote Access check box and then enter the phone number the APS Custom unit is connected to. Enter the 3-digit Area Code in the Area field (Do not enter a 1 first as the 1 will automatically be added as a prefix by the modem’s properties when long distance is checked.) Check Long Distance for APS Custom PCI to include the area code in the dial string.
7. Click OK and return to the Main Dialog window.
8. Click the Connect button from the Main Dialog window.
All the features and operations for Remote Access will be the same as they are for the d i rect connection. There are only two diff e rences. One, for Remote Access there will be the addition of a dial-up window when the modem is actually dialing out. Tw o , the file transfers will take longer due to the reduced speed of the modem compared to the direct connection.
NOTE: The connection will fail if the connection type selected in the
P roComm Plus Data Te rminal window does not match the connection method selected in the APS Custom PCI script.
NOTE: If Park is used, Ports 1 and 2 must be configured to have the
ability to park calls to the defined orbits.

F o rw a rding Service Port Extensions to a Hunt Gr o u p

To prevent losing incoming calls, assign the extensions associated with the two APS Custom service ports to a hunt group. Users should forward their telephone extension to the hunt group that will queue the calls for the APS Custom. For more detailed information on hunt groups, refer to section 2.1, Understanding System Requirements.

Configuring Service Port Extensions for Backup

If the PBX does not have a hunt group capability, then configure the two service port extensions to rollover or forw a rd calls to each other when a busy signal or no answer occurs. For example, if Port 1 is busy, the call is forw a rded to Port 2 automatically. Users can then forw a rd their telephone extension to the first service port, ensuring that when a new call is received, if the first service port is busy, the new call is forw a rded to the second s e rvice port automatically.

Configuring Service Port Extensions for Wide Ar e a Paging or Overhead Paging

If you are using wide area paging or overhead paging, you must configure the service port 3 extension to be able to access the paging system and be able to access an outside line.

4.2

Using Park Orbits with the APS Custom

The APS Custom requires global park resources or “orbits” to ensure the proper operation of its Park and Meet-Me functionality. Some PBX systems allow “station park” or the ability of a particular station to park a call on itself and then pick the call up from a second station. However, as the number of calls that can be placed on station park is limited to one, the use of station park is not acceptable for APS Custom operation. The APS Custom must be able to free up the service port for subsequent incoming calls after a particular call has been parked. Station park does not allow this to occur. For more detailed information on park orbits, refer to section 2.1, Understanding System Require- ments and section 3.2.3, Setting PBX Parameters. For more information on Park and Meet-Me functionality, see section 5.5, Sending a Page. Park orbits are supervised. When the orbit times out, the call is sent to the coverage extension (e.g., the operator).

6. Follow the detailed instructions below for each programming function.
5.1.1

P reparing the System

To program the unit, all ports, including the outbound port, must be idle. The process of clearing the ports for programming is called “busying out the system”. While in the busy out mode, the unit can not handle calls and blocks calls in to the unit until you exit the programming mode. If you are trying to enter programming mode while the APS Custom is processing a call on another port, the APS Custom will ask you to please wait. When the other ports are finished processing the current calls(s), the APS Custom will let you enter programming mode.
5 • 1
5 . 1 . 1 . 1
To program the APS Custom, call in to the unit. All recording hardware is resident on P o rt 1 and the system transfers any programming requests initiated from Port 2 to Port 1. If the request is initiated from Port 2, but Port 1 is busy, the system responds with a series of wait and press messages, instructing you to press “1” to continue waiting.
Tr a n s f e r ring Por t s
NOTE: After the security password is entered, the unit stops handling
calls on the idle port. The outbound port (Port 3) will finish processing all messages and pages currently in queue. The wait and press messages continue until this process is complete.
To ensure secure and accurate programming, it is recommended that programming only occur when inbound calls are not expected or when the system is idle.

Sending a Page

When an individual is away from his or her desk and/or telephone, the APS Custom will activate, allowing the caller to send a page. The type of page sent is determ i n e d by the paging method specified by the user and the capabilities and functions of the PBX, including call park support.
To ensure that the Park and Meet-Me Feature operates corre c t l y, the following re q u i rements must be met.
The PBX must allow outside calls to be parked from either of the APS Custom service ports (ports 1 and 2).
The APS Custom service ports must be analog Industry Standard Telephone (IST) type extensions.
The PBX must also allow any extension in the building to retrieve or Pick-Up a parked call.
The PBX must allow a minimum of two outside callers to be parked simultaneously on the PBX system.
NOTE: Proper configuration of this feature requires the user to understand
the operation of the PARK/PICK-UP on the local PBX. Consult your PBX manufacturer or supplier before configuring this feature.

the unit did not immediately recognize it.
The PBX Extension Length configured during

initial setup instructs the unit to wait for a specified number of digits. For example, if you specified a PBX Extension Length of four digits during initial setup, the unit waits for four digits before playing the associated name prompt. If your PBX has some extensions with a length less than that specified on the PCI database, press the # (pound) key immediately after the extension number.

You must press the # (pound) key after entering a p a s s w o rd.
You must press the # (pound) key after selecting an announcement.
A BUSY signal or error tone when attempting to pick-up a parked call can result from several activities:
1) The caller hung up.
2) Another party picked up the call (i.e., if the page was sent to a group).
3) The hold time was exceeded, and the PBX timed out and forw a rded the call.
Announcement 1 is not designed to be played o v e rhead. It is the customizable main system gre e t i n g for the APS Custom. For more detailed inform a t i o n on how to customize Announcement 1, refer to section 5.2.2.1, Recording an Announcement.
A • 1
How do I customize the
?
initial greeting that is
played by the APS Custom?
A
The initial greeting is recognized by the system as Announcement 1. When you record Announcement 1, it is played in place of the standard greeting. See section 5.2.2, Administering Announcements, for detailed i n s t ructions on how to customize announcements and prompts.
Do all APS Custom
?
users need to have a
PBX extension?
Why did the APS
?
Custom say “Memory Full” when I attempted to save a recording?
A
A
No, APS Custom users do not need to have a PBX extension in order to use the system. You can assign “phantom” extensions to your users. A phantom extension is an extension that is not associated with a physical telephone. For paging to operate corre c t l y, callers must know the user’s “phantom” extension.
All of the unit’s available recording space is used. APS Custom units are configure d with enough memory to store either 120 or 360 names (two seconds each), depending on the model, plus eight 16-second announcements and up to 20 Group Names. The APS Custom unit has storage capacity for 120 user names, or 360 user names. Both units also allot stor­age for the eight 16-second announcements as well as the maximum of 20 group names.

This section highlights the security and custom re c o rding feature s associated with the APS Custom. Security features include a t h re e - t i e red passwords t ru c t u re. Customization includes re c o rd i n g names and prompts. Users installing the APS Custom for the first time or those not comfortable with the wide array of features and functions available from the APS Custom should refer to the detailed instructions contained in the main body of this manual.

P a s s w o rd s
T h e re are three system passwords associated with each APS Custom unit. The p a s s w o rd s a re displayed on the APS Custom PCI System Data screen (Figure 3-3).
The APS 120/360 Access Passwor d controls the APS Custom PCI access to the APS Custom unit. The default value of this password is LUCENTAP. The Access password is case sensitive and must be eight characters in length. The Access password may be changed by the APS Custom PCI user at anytime. The password is used to guarantee a certain level of security in changing the database parameters associated with the APS Custom Unit. Changing the default password is optional. In the APS Custom PCI System Data Screen (Figure 3-3), there are two fields associated with the APS Custom Access Password. The two fields are Current APS 120/360 Access and New APS 120/360 Access. The current APS Custom Access password is entered in the current APS 120/360 Access field. The New APS 120/360 Access field is used to change the APS Custom Access password in the APS Custom unit.
The System Passwor d is used to control announcement recordings when the user is in Programming Mode. Users are prompted to enter this password when they choose to record or delete an announcement. Simular to the Security Code, the default System Password is 6263 and must consist of four DTMF digits numbering 0 through 9. This password may be changed by the APS Custom administrator using the PCI at anytime. It is recommended that BOTH the System Password and the Security Code be changed from their default values.
B • 1
The Security Code Passwor d controls user access to the APS Custom programming. Users are prompted to enter the security code password when they press the ‘#’ (pound) key and select “1” for programming in response
to the APS Custom Main Greeting. The default password value is 9832. The system re q u i res that the password consist of four digits numbering 0 through 9. The password may be changed by the APS Custom administrator using the PCI at any time. Entering the proper sequence of DTMF keys allows the user to enter P rogramming Mode on the APS Custom. Users may record or delete names or announcements in this mode. Modifying announcements requires a second
level of password access.
NOTE: The Security Code should NOT be given out so that each individual
can record their own name. The APS Custom System was designed to have a single person re c o rding all the user names for the system. This way all re c o rd i n g s sound consistent.
Each APS Custom user has one additional password that allows them to change their current paging method to any of their available paging methods. Also a four-digit DTMF password consisting of digits numbered 0 through 9, this password is modified via the APS Custom PCI User Records screen (Figure 3-11). Users are prompted to enter this password when they select the Greeting. Users can select Overhead, Local, Wide Area or None. This password is set by each individual user and entered in to the user database on the APS Custom PCI. It is recommended that the password be unique for each configured user.

NOTE: Do not attempt to operate the paging system without the antenna
connected to the paging transmitter, as damage to the paging transmitter may occur.
2. Plug the Power/Comm Adapter Cable into the DB9 connector at the rear of
the APS Custom controller unit labeled, “Transmitter”.
3. Plug the Power/Comm Adapter Cable into the DB9 female connector on the
Transmitter Unit.
4. Connect the Power/Comm Adapter cable by plugging the keyed Molex®
power connector end to the end of the power supply cable.
5. Plug the Power Adapter into a 110 V AC power outlet. The red colored
PWR/BAT LED indicator on the Transmitter Unit should be illuminated when
power is properly applied.
6. The green colored TX LED indicator on the Transmitter Unit should illuminate
during a paging transmission.
W a v e W a r e P a g i n g T r a n s m i t t e r
Your Wave Wa re Paging System includes a Transmitter Unit, a "Rubber
Duck" Antenna, a Right Angle Antenna Adapter, a Power/Comm Adapter
Cable, and a Power Adapter. To install the paging system, perf o rm the
following steps:
1. Attach the "Rubber Duck" antenna to the Transmitter Unit. The Right Angle Antenna Adapter is available for proper
antenna positioning. In normal paging operations, the paging transmitter antenna should be oriented in a vertical position to maximize the paging range.
Tro u b l e s h o o t i n g
Power
When the Wave Wa re Paging Transmitter Unit is assembled and power is applied, you should be able to see a red PWR/BAT indicator illuminated on the Transmitter Unit. If not, verify that all connections are tight and verify that 110V AC power is available at the power outlet. If connections are tight, power is available and the red PWR/BAT indica­tor still doesn't illuminate, determine if the Power Adapter is at fault by trying another Power Adapter. If the Transmitter Unit still does not respond, the Transmitter Unit is most likely in need of repair or re p l a c e m e n t .

Select Transmitter Type
You must select the PCILocal Wi reless Paging Transmitter Type. Select XMT#2 on the PBX Parameters Screen (Figure 3-4).
NOTE: Do not enable Carrier Detect.
Pagers
When you send a paging message command to the Transmitter unit from the APS Custom, the green TX indicator on the Transmitter Unit should illuminate for a few seconds to indicate that transmission is occurring. If you don't receive a message on the selected paging receiver, follow the checklist below to troubleshoot the paging reception:
1. Verify that the pager is turned on.
2. Verify that the pager has a fresh battery.
3. Verify that you have selected the proper Pager ID number when calling the APS Custom.
4. Verify the proper CAP code setting for the Pager ID.
5. Verify that the pager is located at least 10 feet away from the Transmitter
Unit during transmission. (Some paging receivers do not properly decode paging messages when the paging receivers are located in close proximity
to the transmitter antenna. Holding a paging receiver 10 feet away from a transmitter antenna is usually sufficient to allow the paging receiver to properly decode a paging transmission.)
6. Verify that the antenna is attached to the transmitter unit.
7. Verify that the pager is at the same frequency as the Paging System Transmitter. (Both the pagers and the transmitter have labels which provide frequency information.)
