EXTERNAL RECORDING SYSTEM / EXTERNAL RINGER
4.8.1
External Recording System or External Ringer (Figure 4-14)
The 2PGDAD allows for the connection of an external recording system or external ringer. With a customer-
provided tape recorder, when an extension user dials the ACI analog port extension number, they can
automatically start the recorder and activate the record function. When the user hangs up, the recording stops
and the tape recorder turns off. For tape recording, connect the tape recorder AUX input jack to the PGDAD
jack. Connect the recorder control leads (if available) to the CTL (control relay) jack. By using Department
Calling, you can arrange multiple tape recorders into a pool. When an extension user dials the Department
Group pilot number, they reach the first available tape recorder in the pool.
The relays in the 2PGDAD module can optionally control customer-provided external ringers (loud bells) and
buzzers. When an extension user dials the ACI analog port extension number, the associated PGDAD relay
closes and activates the ringer. You could use this capability to control an emergency buzzer for a noisy
machine shop floor, for example. In addition, if programmed for ringing, an incoming trunk call can activate the
ringer/buzzer.
4.8.2
Installing an External Recording System or External Ringer
1.
Connecting to the 2PGDAD Module:
Make sure the jumper in the 2PGDAD module for the channel is set correctly. (Refer to Figure 4-4
JUMPER SETTINGS on page 4-5).
2.
If a line cord was not previously connected to the 2PGDAD, complete Steps 3-6. Otherwise, skip to Step
7.
3.
Install a modular jack for each 2PGDAD module. For each module, run one-pair 24 AWG station cable
from the cross-connect block to a modular jack. Ground the unused pair.
4.
Terminate the extension leads to GRN/RED of the modular jack. Terminate the unused leads to the jack.
5.
Install bridging clips as required.
6.
Plug a modular line cord from the mod jack to the CN1 connector on the 2PGDAD module.
7.
Connect an RCA jack to the audio output(s) on the back of the 2PGDAD module.
8.
The opposite end of this cable is connected to the external recording system or external ringer either
directly or by connecting to the cross-connect block where the item is connected.
