4.0 PAGING CONSOLES

4.1 A 4596 OVERVIEW
The A 4596 paging console provides general paging, emergency paging and remote selection of "Standby", "Lock In",
"Lock Out" and "All Clear" modes.
General paging is achieved by simply pressing the PTT (push to talk) switch and then speaking. General paging will
override the Prebell, Bell and all three AuxMP3 triggers.
Emergency paging is achieved by pressing the emergency paging button and then the PTT (push to talk) switch. This
combination removes the possibility of accidental activation. When activated, emergency paging overrides all functions of
the A 4595A.
If one of the four Lockdown modes (Standby, Lock In, Lock Out or All Clear) is already active, then emergency paging can
be achieved by simply using the PTT switch without the need to press the emergency paging button first.
The four Lock Down modes can all be activated from the A 4596 paging console. Simply Press the button for the desired
mode and hold for 2-3 seconds to activate. The priorities for these are the same as on the main A 4595A unit. I.e All Clear
overrides Lock Down and Lock In, which have the same priority, which then overrides Standby.
NOTE: The All Clear button is also a Cancel button.
If the "Standby", "Lock In" or "Lock Out" modes are active and need to be cancelled, press the "All Clear" button to
activate the All Clear and then press the All Clear button again to cancel.
A maximum of 4 paging consoles can be connected to
the A 4595A at the same time. These work in a "first
in, best dressed" arrangement. The consoles are wired
back to the A 4595A via CAT5E cabling to the four RJ45
ports on the rear of the unit (see section 4.1.3 to 4.1.5
for details).
Each unit must be assigned an ID number through DIP
switch settings on the rear of the unit.
A pre-announcement chime is available at the paging
console and through the PA system. Both of these are
set by DIP switches on the rear of the unit.
