About PagePac Plus

Telephone Access and Talk-back

Security Door Control and Night Bell

Automatic Message Logging

PagePac Plus Amplicenter

The PagePac Plus Controller is a paging system controller that incorporates into one unit many paging system features previously obtainable only by purchasing multiple separate units. It is bi-directional, enabling two-way (talk-back) conversation via the paging system.

PagePac Plus supports numerous modes of Telephone Access to the paging system, which allows you to access the system by simply dialing its extension, in-facility or off-premises. All access to the paging system can be password protected.

The PagePac Plus Controller is set up to accommodate security door or gate control, enabling you to speak with whomever has rung the door bell, and to signal the door lock to open, permitting entry. PagePac Plus also features Night Bell circuitry, which enables the paging system to alert personnel to incoming phone calls in unoccupied areas, after hours.

The PagePac Plus Controller may optionally be connected to a PC

computer for automatic logging of all important paging activity, for security and insurance purposes.

The PagePac Plus Controller requires connection to a PagePac Plus

Amplicenter, which amplifies and distributes sound to paging loudspeakers, and to which the music source for background music is connected. The PagePac Pius Amplicenter is also the power source for

the controller. The Amplicenter is available in 20, 100, and 300 watt

models.

Zone Expansion Units

Easy to Program

The PagePac Plus Controller may be connected to Zone Expansion Units, which enlarge the paging controller’s capacity to a maximum of 56 paging zones. See figure 1-1, PagePac Plus System Components, for a typical example of a PagePac Plus system hardware layout.

PagePac Plus is user-programmable, with simple step-by-step

programming instructions that permit the system administrator or other

responsible person to alter the system configuration, using either a standard Touchtone telephone keypad or a PC computer. As your paging

needs change, you can alter the makeup of paging zones, and the nature

of inputs and outputs. You can expand the controller’s program to add

additional paging zones, all within a few minutes time and without the

need for a paging system technician to come in to do the job.

Overview

Factory-Set Default Inputs

The PagePac Plus Control Unit has five factory-set default inputs that are active on a priority basis. These five, in order of priority, are Attendant Access, Input #1, Telephone Access, Input #2, and Night Bell.

Attendant Access

Input #1

Telephone Access

Attendant Access is the highest priority paging mode of the PagePac Plus system. The attendant simply dials his exclusive paging extension to make an announcement. Also, by using a microphone directly connected to the PagePac Plus Controller, the Attendant activates paging access when the microphone "TALK" switch is pressed. Any other paging activity (or background music) that may be currently active will be muted or overridden, to permit the direct voice page to be broadcast.

Input #1 is the second highest priority, and is intended for inputs such as a security alarm or fire alarm, though it is user-definable and can be used for any input.

The Telephone Access is made by dialing the general access extension number of the PagePac Plus unit. The PagePac Plus telephone interface is switch selectable (set to accommodate your telephone system) and has the third highest paging priority. See the Installation Guide for details of the four different telephone system modes.

Input #2 Input #2 is the fourth priority, and is intended for routine inputs such as a

security door bell. It is user-definable and can be used for any designated input. Input #1 can only be assigned to zones 1 - 8.

Night Bell Circuit When the Night Bell is activated and no other higher priorities are active,

then a distinctive tone will be sent to all zones programmed to send Night

Bell. The Night Bell circuit is activated by a ring voltage from a PBX

station or a zone input contact closure. The default priority is the lowest.

1-8 Overview

Page 15

Eight Primary Paging Zones

NOTE: The Zone Option The PagePac Plus Control Unit has eight onboard zones. All eight zones switches, both on the PagePac Plus Controller and on any attached Zone Expansion Units, MUST be set before the PagePac Plus system is powered up, and therefore before programming commences.

can be optioned via zone option switches (on the rear of the controller) to be either 70V audio output zones, input contact-closure zones, or contact-closure output zones to drive additional remote amplifiers or other devices such as security door locks, Each zone may be configured individually. If a zone is optioned as an input, its priority will be set by identifying it as an Input #1 or Input #2 zone.

48 Expansion Zones

NOTE: Each Zone Expansion

Unit has a dip switch that must be set (addressed) properly during installation, and before power up of the system. See Installation Guide.

The PagePac Plus Control Unit has the ability via Zone Expansion Units to access up to 48 external paging zones. it communicates with these expansion zones by using up to three optional Zone Expansion Units (16 zones per module).

PagePac Plus Amplicenter Interface

The PagePac Plus Controller connects to and controls a PagePac Plus Amplicenter. The controller draws its internal power from the amplifier and

routes the amplifier’s audio power to the proper zone(s).

Music Input

The background music source is connected to the PagePac Plus Amplicenter, then its audio signal is passed on to the PagePac Plus

Controller for distribution to zones. The music input will always have the lowest paging priority. Since the amplifier has a music input volume adjustment, it can accommodate various input signal levels, such as tape, CD, or radio.

Overview

1-9

Page 16

Three Output Types

The PagePac Plus Control Unit has three audio outputs, with the level

controlled by an automatic gain control (AGC) to ensure excellent voice clarity. The first is the audio output signal to the PagePac Plus Amplicenter, in a Constant-Voltage Distribution System (see "Hardware Configuration," below.)

The second audio output is intended to drive (for example) an additional

PagePac Plus Control Unit. Only one external device may be connected

to this output if talk-back is required. The third output is intended to drive up to 56 remote amplifiers, via Zone

Expansion Units. See the Installation Guide for details of connections.

Talk-Back Amplifier

The talk-back amplifier has automatic gain control to ensure excellent voice clarity from audio received from paging zone speakers.

Tone Generator

The PagePac Plus Controller has the ability to generate several distinctive tones such as siren, chime, dial tone, beeps, and night bell. These tones

may be sent to either the paging amplifier or to the telephone interface,

depending on the situation. For a description of the tones, see "Tone

Selection" in section 2, under Telephone Keypad Programming.

Programming Memory

The PagePac Plus Control Unit has the ability to retain all programming

options in non-volatile (EEPROM) memory.

Hardware Configuration

The PagePac Plus system can be configured to operate in several different ways, as a constant-voltage distribution system, a controller

system, or a hybrid system. In any of the configurations, a PagePac Plus

Amplicenter is required and the interconnection between the Control Unit and the Amplicenter must be made.

1-10 Overview

Page 17

Whether the PagePac Plus system is configured as a constant-voltage distribution system, a controller system, or as a hybrid system, has no bearing on programming and using the system.

For full information about connecting hardware, see the Installation Guide.

Constant-Voltage

Distribution System

This is the "traditional" paging system configuration. When the system is configured as a constant-voltage distribution system, the 70V Amplicenter audio output is routed via the controller to any zone that is optioned for audio.

Controller System In this configuration, the required PagePac Plus Amplicenter’s audio will

only be sent to a specific selected zone. Both remote audio amplifiers and amplified speakers can be controlled in this mode as well as other ancillary equipment requiring an audio output or a contact closure, or both.

Hybrid System In this configuration the features of the constant-voltage distribution system

and the features of the controller system will be combined. The controller will route the 70V audio to the proper audio zone and also have the ability to control remote amplifiers with zones selected as control closures.

Indicators and Connectors

LED Indicators

The PagePac Plus Controller has three LED indicators that are useful for

installation and troubleshooting purposes.

Front panel

Rear panel

A single LED indicates the unit’s power status: solid green indicates the unit has power, and blinking green indicates that the unit is in reset mode. A blinking power LED may indicate the need to power down and power up again, or that there is not enough AC power to the Amplicenter or DC power from the Amplicenter to the controller.

Two LEDs are adjacent to the eight zone option switches (see figure 1-2). The green LED lights to indicate that the Telephone Access interface has

successfully been accessed by the telephone equipment. The yellow LED lights to indicate that Attendant Access interface has been successfully accessed.

1-14 Overview

Page 21

Interface Considerations

The hardware installation configuration may have these impacts on programming and use of the PagePac Plus system:

Setting correct addresses for Zone Expansion Unit(s)

Telephone Mode

Zone Option Switches on Control Unit

See the important explanation about setting the internal dip switches to address each Zone Expansion Unit, in the Installation Guide.

Be sure the telephone interface mode switch on the rear of the PagePac Plus unit has been set correctly, matching the telephone system of your facility (see Installation Guide). However, whichever mode is selected has no bearing on programming or using the PagePac Plus Controller.

The default priority for telephone access is 3. The telephone input can access any zone or zone group to output audio paging or to trigger an output contact-closure action. Programming can also be accomplished via telephone access.

The eight Zone Option switches on the rear of the PagePac Plus Controller MUST be set to match the zone option to be programmed.

The slide switch for each zone must be manually set to Contact Closure (to switch on/off a device, such as a door security lock, remote amplifier, etc.), Input (such as doorbell or security alarm), or Audio Output, depending on the programmed mode selected for each zone. See Zone Map (table 1-2) and Zone Configuration Tables (1-3 and 1-4), below (both to be filled out).

Zone Expansion Unit

Option Switches

Other Interfaces

The Zone Option switches must be set before the PagePac Plus system is powered up, and therefore before programming commences.

The 16 Zone Option switches on the Zone Expansion Unit must also be configured to match the intended zone mode. It is recommended that the paging zone decisions be made prior to beginning programming. See Zone Map (table 1-2) and Zone Configuration Tables (1-3 and 1-4), below

(both to be filled out).

The Zone Option switches and dip switches on Zone Expansion

Unit(s) must be set prior to system power-up.

Night Bell, Music Input, Computer Monitor Logging, Alarm System, and Door Control interfaces are illustrated in the Application Notes, at the end of this guide.

Zone Map

The Zone Map is to be filled out by your system administrator or the person responsible for programming your PagePac Plus system. It assists in identifying the zones, both inputs and outputs, of your particular system. Make photocopies of the blank Zone Map to use in laying out your system. Refer to the example Zone Map for an idea how to proceed.

Description of Zone

Physical Zone Number

Physical Zone Code

NOTE: If an ALIAS number is assigned to any zone, ALIAS numbers must be assigned to ALL zones.

ALIAS Zone Number

Write a brief description of each zone in your facility.

Preprinted on the form, this number identifies the zones and groups.

Preprinted on the form, these are the physical addresses (default dial codes) of the different zones. You would dial this code for a zone if no ALlAS number has been assigned.

Using ALlAS zone numbers is optional. An ALlAS number for zone is the extension number you intend to dial to reach this zone. All ALlAS numbers must have the same number of digits (all 3-digit, or all 4-digit codes). When assigning ALlAS zone numbers, consider assigning consecutive numbers to similar zones. Choose numbers that are relatively easy to remember and easy to enter into the telephone keypad. If you choose not to use ALlAS numbers, you will use the Physical Zone Codes, above, to dial the zones.

Input or Output

NOTE: Attendant Access,

Telephone Access, Night Bell,

and Music input are default

inputs to the PagePac Plus, and

are not to be identified as zones.

Computer Monitor is an optional output device connected to the PagePac Plus, and is also not to

be identified as a zone.

1-16 Overview

Write an I-1, I-2, or an O to indicate the type of zone. I-1 means input priority level 1; I-2 means input priority 2. "Input" and "output" here mean inputs to or outputs from the controller.

After completing your Zone Map, you are ready to set System Options (beginning with table 2-1 in section 2) and then do Zone Map programming (table 2-12).

Introduction

The operation of the PagePac Plus Controller can be customized to meet the requirements of your business. It can be programmed in either of two ways, using a telephone keypad or a PC, and nearly all features programmed by either method.

The zone option switches on the controller and on any attached Zone

Expansion Unit(s) MUST be set before the PagePac system is

powered up.

Programming by Touchtone Telephone

This section details the programming the PagePac Plus Controller by using the telephone keypad to enter your selections. This programming method works via the Telephone Access port, which accepts only Touchtone telephone keypad inputs (DTMF). The PagePac Plus Controller itself has the ability to retain the programming options indefinitely, in its onboard memory.

See the Programming Quick Reference Chart at the end of this section for a summary of programming steps.

can be

Programming by PC

The second means of programming is using an lBM-compatible PC (personal computer), which connects to an RS-232 port on the back of the controller by means of a crossover cable (also called a null-modem cable).

NOTE: The PagePac Plus unit

can be configured remotely via

the RS-232 port using a modem.

Only the International Timing option requires programming via the PC.

The default setting for this option is USA/Canada.

An advantage of using a PC to configure the PagePac Plus unit is that screens can be viewed on the monitor to aid in selecting the zones for various options. Using a PC to program the PagePac Plus Controller, you can view the system as a diagram, see your options, and observe the changes being made. Your programming can be saved to a computer file on a diskette and recalled in the future.

In either case, the controller itself has the ability to retain the programming

options indefinitely.

Programming The Controller 2-3

Page 33

Software Configuration—Overview

The PagePac Plus Controller is pre-programmed with certain default values when shipped, However, not all paging systems will have the

same requirements, and therefore you (or the installation technician) may

want or need to change the options on the system.

Some of the various programming configurations, which are presented in

detail later in this section, include:

■

The ability to option a zone as an audio output zone, as either of two

levels of input zone, or as an output contact-closure zone.

■

If a zone is optioned as a paging zone or a switch-closure zone, then other options are available, such as zone grouping.

■

Zone groups and individual zones can be configured to perform a variety of functions such as page enabled/ disabled or talk-back enabled/disabled.

■

If a zone is selected to be input, then options may be selected such as

energizing an output switch-closure zone(s), whenever the input is active, or a selected tone can be sent out to selected zones whenever the input is active.

■

If multiple zones are configured as inputs with the same priority (for example, two zones coded l-l ), access will be granted on a first-come, first-sewed basis.

■

Zone mapping is also permitted.

Zone Group versus Individual Zones

The PagePac Plus Controller can be optioned at two different levels, Zone

Group and Individual Zone programming. Zone group configurations will

override individual zone configurations whenever a zone group is selected.

At Power Up

When the PagePac Plus Controller is first powered up, it polls the zones to

determine how many (if any) zone expansion units are present. The PagePac Pius has the capacity to serially access up to 48 external zones.

The Zone Option switches, both on the controller and on any attached Zone Expansion Units, must be set before the PagePac Plus system is

powered up, and therefore before programming commences.

2-4 Programming The Controller

Page 34

Programming Options and Instructions

CAUTION:

The Zone Option switches must be set before the PagePac Plus system is

powered up, and therefore before programming commences.

The 8 Zone Option switches on the rear of the PagePac Plus unit MUST

be set to match the zone option selected via programming. The slide switch for each zone must be manually set to Contact Closure (to switch on/off a device, such as a door security lock, remote amplifier, etc.), Input, or Audio Output, depending on the mode selected for each zone.

The 16 Zone Option switches on the Zone Expansion Unit MUST also be

configured to match the zone modes you intend to program. It is recommended that the paging zone decisions be made and

diagramed prior setting these switches. See Zone Configuration Tables (1-3 and 1-4 in section 1, to be filled out) and programming instructions, below.

System Configuration Options Overview

System Configuration Options are options that effect the entire system, and are not specific or unique to any one zone or zone group. See the Programming Quick Reference Chart at the end of this section for a listing of these. The paragraphs below provide instructions for programming

these system options (from a telephone keypad), if you wish to change

them.

This system option allows you to set the length (2, 3, or 4 digits) of the ALlAS number field. The default is 2 digits. If you wish to assign ALlAS numbers to the paging zones, you must set the length parameter. The ALIAS number is the dialing extension for the zone. If no ALlAS numbers are used, the Physical Zone Code is the dialing extension for a zone.

Connect Password

This feature will not become active until the first time you enter a password, via the programming mode. The factory default is NO password.

The Connect password operates as a security block into the paging system, restricting paging access to authorized users.

You may want to use a short Connect password (2 or 3 digits only) for ease of use.

When a user accesses the PagePac Plus unit via Telephone Access, a dial tone will be returned to the user. At this time the user will have unlimited chances to enter the correct password. If the correct password is entered, the user will receive the confirmation tone, then a new dial tone from the PagePac Plus unit, and then can either select a zone, zone group, or enter the programming mode.

If the wrong password is entered, the user will not receive any confirmation tone or new dial tone. He can continue to enter digit strings (without hanging up) until the correct password is entered, or he can hang up and try again by re-accessing the paging system.

In the event that the user forgets the password, see "Forgot the

Password?"

Night Bell inputs. This feature requires that a PC computer be connected

to the RS-232 port of the PagePac Plus Controller. Whenever the input

becomes active, ASCII characters will be sent out the RS-232 port (DB9 pin connector) to the computer. The ASCII characters will be intercepted

by a special software package in the computer that logs the time, date, input zone, type of activity, zone that was paged, and duration of the

activity. All such input activity to the paging system can then be viewed

Input Priority Arrangement

The input priorities are pre-set at the factory. You may only assign a

priority level to inputs such as doorbell or security alarm, by assigning

them to Input #1 or Input #2, which differ in priority.

NOTE: These priorities cannot be rearranged.

Also, if you select more than one

zone to be inputs of the same level (Input 1, for example), such inputs will be handled on a first in, first served basis. See Type of Zone option, under General Zone / Group Configurations programming, later in this section.

The default setting is: 1 – Attendant Access 2 – Input #1 3 – Telephone Access 4 – Input #2 5 – Night Bell

Zone Monitor

This option selects a device to be connected to the RS-232 port, a

computer monitor for logging of all zone or group zone paging activity.

The default setting is off.

Computer Monitor Mode

By selecting Zone Monitor, the PagePac Plus is enabled to monitor activity on specific zone or group zone. This feature requires that a PC computer be connected to the RS-232 port of the PagePac Plus Controller. Whenever the input becomes active, ASCII characters will be sent out the RS-232 port to the monitor. The ASCII characters will be intercepted by a special software package in the computer that logs the time, date, input zone, type of activity, zone that was paged, and duration of the activity. All such input activity to the paging system can then be viewed (and recorded) on the computer.

Output Zone/Group Confimations Overview

These options apply to zones or groups already configured as outputs (see "Type of Zone," above). All these parameters can be individually optioned per zone. For a summary of these options, see the Programming Quick Reference Chart at the end of this section.

Type of Output

This option selects the type of output for an individual output zone. The choices here are AUDIO/NORMALLY OPEN, NORMALLY CLOSED, SYSTEM HANDSHAKE, MOMENTARY OPEN, and TOGGLE. The AUDIO/NORMALLY OPEN option is the default. The primary use for the NORMALLY CLOSED or SYSTEM HANDSHAKE is to determine how the switch closure is to function.

When the SYSTEM HANDSHAKE option is chosen, the closure will energize when a valid OFF HOOK condition has been detected. (System Handshake is a feature required by certain PBX systems: when they access the PagePac Plus, they require a return acknowledgment signal – the "handshake" – from the PagePac Plus.)

The MOMENTARY OPEN and TOGGLE options are intended to be used for controlling door striker plates, for instance, to permit a security door to be unlocked. The MOMENTARY OPEN will stay energized for as long as the zone is selected. The TOGGLE will stay energized until the zone is selected again. Neither of these modes will respond to an Attendant Access page or an All-Call page.

Pass DTMF to the Output

This zone output option enables the Touchtone telephone keypad tones

(DTMF) to be passed through the PagePac Pius Controller and output to a second controller or other ancillary device.

NO Option

NOTE: If you leave NO in option mode, you may page zone to zone without exiting system. System is locked up while you roam zone to zone.

YES Option

NOTE: If you access a zone that is enabled for passing DTMF, you will not be able to switch to another zone (on the same controller) except by hanging up and re-initializing access to the PagePac Plus system.

The choice is YES/NO, with the default being NO. Operating the unit in the default mode, you may switch from zone to zone (within the same

PagePac Plus Controller) without hanging up, simply by dialing the zone number of the zone you wish to switch to. The DTMF tones you dial will be muted (not sent out as audio) as soon as they are detected by the controller.

Access to the first zone will be disconnected and you will hear a

pre-announcement tone when the zone switch has been accomplished (if pre-announcement tone has been enabled).

When you have accessed a zone with this parameter set to YES, DTMF will be sent out as un-muted audio but the PagePac Plus Controller will

not respond to the DTMF tones (and will not switch zones).

This YES option, with DTMF tones enabled to the output, is useful when you have more than one PagePac Plus Controller daisy-chained in a

system. The un-muted DTMF tone is passed through the first controller (not triggering a zone change) to the second controller (or other ancillary device), where it DOES activate a zone.

Programming Steps

The primary use for this feature is to allow the PagePac Plus to be used for door service. For example, you have optioned the doorbell input zone to enable Telephone Access, and you wish now to select the door speaker to be the output zone for this Telephone Access audio.

The audio path will remain routed for 10 seconds. If the user accesses the controller during the 10 second period, they will automatically be

routed to the zone specified in this procedure. If the user accesses the

controller after the time expires, the user will receive a dial tone. If a Connect password has been installed in your system, you will have to

access the PagePac Plus and enter your password, before being automatically routed to the zone..

If the doorbell input has a higher priority than the telephone access and is activated while telephone access paging is underway, then you will receive the tone specified in the option "Tone Selection," above, and then will be automatically routed to the proper zone.

Error Tones

The Error Tone is heard over the phone receiver when an incorrect zone

number has been dialed or contradictory programming input has been attempted.

Hear error tone when dialing a zone ALIAS number

Error tone received when programming a zone or group

When a zone is selected by Touchtone telephone keypad input (DTMF), the PagePac Plus searches for the zone in numerical order of the physical zones; the value dialed (the ALIAS number) is then compared to the digits stored in memory for each physical zone. If not found, then an error tone will be returned to the user. Refer to your Zone Map (table 1-2) to review your ALlAS number assignments, and see table 2-12 to review of the Zone

Map Option programming steps.

If ever there is a conflict in the programming options between a zone and a group to which it is assigned (i.e., zone 1 is optioned as an input as an individual zone, but is optioned as an audio output as part of a zone group), then an error tone will be returned to the user’s receiver.

Zone group configurations will override individual zone configurations whenever a zone group is selected. Refer to your filled-in Zone Map (table 1-2) and Zone Configuration Tables (1-3 and 1-4) to identify any conflict, and refer to table 2-13 for programming steps to reprogram the erroneous zone.

Using Telephone to Respond to Doorbell Tone

Within 10 Seconds

After 10 Seconds

Unlock the Door

If you pick up your telephone and access the paging system within 10

seconds of the sounding of the doorbell tone, the paging system will

automatically route your voice to the door speaker at the door. You need not dial a zone code. However, if a Connect password has been installed in your system, you will need to access the PagePac Plus and enter the password before being routed to the door speaker.

If 10 seconds has elapsed before you access the paging system, you will hear a dial tone, and need to enter a zone code to reach the door

speaker, in order to talk to the person who rang the doorbell.

If you have more than one security door equipped with doorbell and/or door speaker, you will want to configure a group zone for audio output (with talk-back) to the door speakers, so that you can page all of them at once, in order to ask the visitor to identify the door he is at. Then you can dial the code for the speaker phone at that door, in order to speak further

to him, or dial the door control code to unlock that door.

If the door is equipped with a locking device that has been connected to

the PagePac Plus system, you can use your telephone to unlock it and

permit the door to open. If you are still talking to the person at the door via the telephone paging

system:

Dial the zone code of the door lock mechanism, to send the unlock

Application Notes

Night Bell

There are two different Night Bell connections possible with the PagePac

Pius Controller. These are illustrated in figure A-1.

From an EKTS

Telephone System

From a PBX or Centrex System

A programmer needs to know what type of Night Bell connection exists

between the telephone system and the PagePac Plus. In one case, typically with an EKTS telephone system, where Night Bell input is wired to one of the eight PagePac Plus onboard zones (one of the eight onboard zones corresponding to the eight switches on the rear of the controller), then you will need to configure it as an input zone, just as any other (door bell, alarm system, door ajar, etc.). See tables 2-13, 2-21, and 2-22 in section 2 for programming instructions.

In the other case, typically with a PBX system that produces a ring voltage output, the Night Bell connection is not wired to one of the eight input zones, but to another connector on the rear of the PagePac Plus (see

Installation Guide).

You will want to enable the Night Bell tone, whenever this input is

received, and route it to selected zones. Refer to table 2-19 in section 2 for programming instructions.

Background Music

Is a music source connected to your PagePac Plus Ampiicenter? Which

zones do you wish background music to be heard in? You can adjust the

music volume level, ducking level, bass level, and voice volume level (for

voice paging) on the PagePac Plus Amplicenter.

Figure A-2 illustrates typical music interfaces to the PagePac Plus system. For programming information to enable music, see table 2-17 in section 2.

Application Notes

Door Control

Visitor Presses Doorbell

Answering the Doorbell

Figure A-3 illustrates door control interfaces. When a visitor presses the doorbell of a security door, a contact-closure

input to the controller signals an output tone (i.e., a door chime) to selected paging zone(s).

Programming information is provided in section 2, table 2-13 to interface the doorbell as an input zone, 2-21 to select a tone to be sounded when the doorbell input is activated, 2-22 to route the tone to in-facility paging zones.

It should also be optioned for "Audio Enable" so that it automatically opens an audio channel between the door speaker and your telephone access (or attendant access). Refer to table 2-23 to enable audio when the doorbell is pressed.

The person inside the building, having heard the door chime, can simply dial the PagePac Plus extension and establish two-way communications with the door speaker.

If the input zone (door bell) has been optioned for Audio Enable, then the user’s telephone access (or attendant access, depending on the option chosen in Audio Enable) connects via the paging system to the door speaker, for a period of 10 seconds. If the user doesn’t pick up the phone until after the 10 seconds has passed, he must dial the Door Speaker zone code to talk.

Door Unlock

NOTE: The door ajar switch, if any, should be programmed similarly to a doorbell as an input zone, resulting in a tone.

If the doorbell input has a higher priority than T/A (i.e., is Input #1), and is activated while T/A paging is in progress, or during a dial tone, then the user will hear the door chime tone and be automatically routed to the door speaker for two-way communication.

Programming information is provided in section 2, table 2-13 to interface the door speaker-phone as an output zone, table 2-15 to configure the , type of output for the door speaker-phone, table 2-16 to enable page for the door speaker, table 2-18 to enable talk-back for the door speaker, and table 2-24 to route the telephone access audio to the door speaker-phone.

The person inside the building can also remotely unlock the door, by

entering a numeric code (Door Code) on the telephone’s keypad.

Programming information is provided in section 2, table 2-13 to interface the door lock device as an output zone (momentary normally-open switch),

and table 2-15 to configure the type of output for the door lock device

output.

Alarm System Input

Figure A-4 illustrates a typical alarm system interface. Program the alarm system input as a contact-closure input, resulting in a

warning tone output to all zones (or selected zones only).

Refer to section 2 for programming steps, in table 2-13 to set the alarm system interface as an input zone, table 2-21 to select a tone to be triggered, and table 2-22 to route the warning tone to paging zones.

Application Notes

Talkback

All speakers in a zone will be two-way speakers, if talkback has been enabled for a zone. Therefore all speakers in the talkback zone will pick

up ambient noise, as well as the voices of persons addressing the paging

speakers.

It is not recommended to have more than two speakers in a zone that is designated for talkback. However, there are situations where it is

desirable to have more talkback speakers in a zone. For example, a

security guard may want to listen to sounds throughout a restricted area containing several dozen talkback speakers, which would be configured as a single zone. See the Installation Guide for details about speaker

connections.

See table 2-18 in section 2 for programming details. Figure A-5 illustrates

talk-back in the PagePac Plus system.

Computer Monitor Paging Log

Is a PC computer connected to the RS-232 port of the PagePac Plus

Controller for the purpose of logging paging activities? If so, you will want to program the controller to send signals to it, and turn ON/OFF the Attendant Access, Telephone Access, and Night Bell signals that would trigger the monitor to log the event.

Figure A-6 shows a typical computer monitor interface for logging purposes.

For programming information, see section 2 table 2-9 to select the computer monitor option, and table 2-10 to select default inputs to the

monitor.

Connecting Additional PagePac Plus Controllers or Remote Amplifiers

When additional PagePac Plus Controller(s) or other ancillary devices are daisy-chained with the first PagePac Plus Controller, you will want to ensure that the programming option DTMF Enabled to the Output has been selected for a YES condition for output zones. This permits you,

when engaged in paging by telephone in one zone, to dial another zone

number (residing on the remote PagePac Plus unit) and automatically reach that zone. Your DTMF dial input tones are passed through the first (main) PagePac Plus Controller, to the second one, where a switch of zones occurs in response to the dialed tones.

See table 2-20 in section 2, for programming steps to enable DTMF pass-through.

Figure A-7 illustrates a PagePac Plus system with an additional controller unit and remote amplifier.
