5.1.9 External Sensor

5.1.9 External Sensor
Description
External sensing devices, such as security alarms or smoke detectors, can be connected to the PBX. When
the PBX receives input from a sensor, a call is made to the preset destination, alerting the extension user.
The available destinations of a sensor call are as follows:
[Available Destinations]
Wired Extension (PT/SLT/T1-OPX)
PS
SIP Extension
ICD Group
PS Ring Group
Floating Extension no. for SVM
VM Group (DTMF/DPT)
External Pager (TAFAS)
DISA
Analog/ISDN Remote Maintenance
Idle Line Access no. + Phone no.
Trunk Group Access no. + Trunk Group no. + Phone no.
Extension of Another PBX (via TIE Line, Access with PBX Code)
Extension of Another PBX (via TIE Line, Access without PBX Code)
When the call is answered, if distinctive dial tones are enabled, dial tone 3 is heard, which continues until the
user goes on-hook. If the sensor call is not answered within a specified time, the call will be canceled. It is
possible to set a different ring tone pattern for calls received from each external sensor, to distinguish between
them.
Conditions
•
Hardware Requirement:
An external sensor, OPB card and EIO card
•
Some devices may be unable to communicate correctly with the PBX. Confirm compatibility with the
manufacturer of a device before installing it.
•
After a sensor has been activated, the PBX will ignore any further alerts from the same sensor for the
duration specified by a timer. This timer can be set separately for each sensor.
•
As long as the previous sensor call is still being performed, any further alerts from the same sensor are
ignored.
•
The assigned sensor name and/or number are shown on the display of PTs and PSs when a sensor call
is received.
•
If the destination of a sensor call has set FWD, the sensor call will be redirected to the FWD destination.
However, if the FWD destination is not supported as the destination of a sensor call (e.g., an outside party),
the call will be received at the original destination. (® 6.1.6 FWD (Call Forwarding))
