INSTALLATION

Input Access / Switch Settings

A four position slide switch is used to select the
telephone access mode.

• (LS) Loop Start

Used with a Loop Start Trunk Port of a PBX
or Key System or a dedicated phone set.

• (GS/LSS)
Ground Start/Loop Start Supervised

Access from a PBX Ground Start Trunk Port.
In this mode, the PBX ground must be
connected to pin 1 of the 20-pin connector on
the PagePal or pin 2 of the RJ11 connector
on the PagePal.

In Loop Start Supervised mode, pin 7 of the
PagePal must be connected to pin 1 on the
20-pin connector to allow supervision of the
Loop Start Trunk Port. The PagePal will
supervise the connection, and will
automatically disconnect the line if no voice
is detected on the line for 20 seconds or if
the line remains active (Off hook) for more
than one minute.

• (SA) Station Access
Used with a standard (ANALOG) station port
on a CENTREX, PBX, Key System or Central
Office subscriber line. Use a two-wire RJ11
cable in this mode. The PagePal receives
talk battery and ring voltage from the host
system.

• (DL) Dry Loop

Interfaces with the Page Port of a PBX or
Key System or an Auxiliary port of a PBX.
This input shall respond to resistances from 0
to 1K Ohms and will ignore resistance
greater than 10K Ohms. Use a four-wire
RJ11 cable in this mode. Dry Loop is a four
wire connection. Pins 2 and 5 of the RJ11
are intended to interface with the control
leads of the host system, while pins 3 and 4
connect to Tip and Ring, as usual. See
Table 2 for pinout descriptions.

Main Output

Adjusts level of output. Full clockwise rotation
provides 14dBm gain.

Set the Main Output level first using telephone
input, then adjust Attendant and Music Inputs for
an appropriate relative level.

Attendant Input

Adjusts level of Attendant Input relative to the
Telephone Input. Adjustment range is from
0dBm to less than -30dBm.

Music Input

Adjusts level of Music Input relative to the
Telephone Input. Adjustment range is from
0dBm to less than -30dBm.
