External Paging Interface (External Paging Port)
The external paging port, available on the services circuit board, provides an interface for external paging
equipment. When the programmer assigns the external paging port to a paging zone, announcements to
that zone are sent through the external paging equipment installed at the port. When the programmer
assigns one of the relays that are available on the central processor unit circuit board to the paging zone, it
provides a dry-contact actuation for the duration of the page to that zone. Typically, the installer wires
the system so that this actuation enables the external paging equipment while the paging signal is sent
through it.
The programmer can program a line port as an external paging interface for an external paging amplifier.
When this feature is available, station users access the amplifier by selecting that line port. The paging
line port accepts dialed DTMF tones to make a zone selection if the amplifier provides this function.
When the programmer assigns a flexible ringing assignment to the external paging port, the external
paging equipment responds to a ring signal and sounds the ringing over the paging loudspeaker. The
programmer can assign one of the common audible ringer interface relays to track the ring signal that is
supplied to this external paging port. Typically, the installer wires this relay so that its contact actuation
enables the paging equipment.

Feature Inhibit

The programmer can disable a large array of individual features to provide a very basic telephone system
when it is necessary. A basic system might be necessary at a site where a large proportion of the
telephones are accessible to unauthorized users that may use them to tamper with the system, or such a
system may be necessary for locations where users only need a narrow range of features to do their job.
Feature Renumbering
While the dialing codes for personal and group intercoms and for feature access are set by system default,
they are flexible, and the programmer can renumber them when necessary. Feature renumbering may be
necessary if personal or group intercom numbers must be in a certain block or sequence to match some
site requirement (for example, numbering all telephones located on the third floor with 3nnn numbers). If
a new number assignment conflicts with a defaulted dialing code, the defaulted code can be reassigned
into a block of unassigned numbers set aside for that purpose.
At default, the blocks of numbers are as follows:
1001 – 1480 = personal intercom
4001 – 4480 = group intercom
5000 – 5039
6000 – 8999 = feature codes
5040 - 5999 = unassigned codes
9 = line group 1
The programmer can reassign any number between 1 and 9999 to any intercom or feature code in any
combination of three- or four-digits; however, the assigned numbers must not conflict with one another.
For instance, if 2111 is assigned as an intercom number, there cannot be any intercom or feature code
numbered 21, 21n, or 21nn. Similarly, since 9 is defaulted as the code for line group one, there cannot be
any intercom or feature code numbered 9n, 9nn, or 9nnn.
