The NC377 Paging Interface Adapter is used with TekTone
NC110, NC150 and NC200 hard-wired nurse call systems to
add radio pocket paging. The interface is connected between
the nurse call system and the radio pocket pager transmitter.
The NC377 Paging Interface Adapter detects calls, determines
priority, and then sends information to the NC369 Paging
Transmitter. Program call points so that calls are sent to the
appropriate pager. Information sent includes call type and room
number. The pager stamps the time and date.
This manual is designed to assist with installation of this
TekTone
with step-by-step instructions to facilitate hardware installation
and software configuration.
