Analogue Communications Interface (ACI)
• Available - 96 ACI software ports (48 PGDAD modules max. for ACI modes) and 16 ACI Department Groups.
Description
64 Features
The Analogue Communications Interface (ACI) feature uses a PGDAD module to provide two ana-
logue ports (with associated relays) for Music on Hold, External Paging or external recording. The
system allows up to 48 PGDAD modules, for a maximum of 96 analogue ports. Each PGDAD
module requires an unused port on an ESIU PCB.
• Music on Hold
You can connect up to two customer-provided Music on Hold music sources to a PGDAD
module. This lets you add additional music sources if the external source on the NTCPU PCB
or the internal source are not adequate. By using PGDAD modules, you could even have a dif-
ferent music source for each trunk.
When the system switches the ACI analogue port to a trunk on Hold, the PGDAD relay asso-
ciated with the ACI analogue port closes. You can use this capability to switch on the music
source, if desired.
Extension users can dial the ACI analogue port extension number and listen to the connected
music source. The PGDAD relay associated with the port closes when the call goes through.
For Music on Hold, connect the music source to the PGDAD module. Connect the music
source control leads to the CTL (control relay) jack. Refer to the Hardware Manual for addi-
tional details.
• External Paging
An ACI analogue port can also be an External Page output. When connected to customer-pro-
vided External Paging equipment, the ACI port provides External Paging independent of the
NTCPU external paging input. To use the External Paging, an extension user just dials the
ACI analogue port extension number and makes the announcement. The system broadcasts
the announcement from the ACI analogue port and simultaneously closes the associated
PGDAD relay. You can use the relay closure to control the External Paging amplifier, if
required.
This external paging zone is not included in external all call paging or combination paging
(internal and external).
For External Paging, connect the Paging amplifier to the PGDAD jack. Connect the amplifier
control leads to the CTL (control relay) jack. Refer to the Hardware Manual for additional
details.
• Auxiliary Device Control
The PGDAD module can control a customer-provided tape recorder. When an extension user
dials the ACI analogue 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. Refer to the Hardware Manual for additional details.
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
