5-30 Adjuncts
An adjunct is an auxiliary piece of equipment that adds features to the system,
for example, a fax machine or an answering machine. See Table 5-5 for a list of
adjuncts.
System adjuncts are auxiliary pieces of equipment that connect directly to the
control unit.
A Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) printer can be connected to the
control unit at the SMDR jack on the processor module. The serial printer
provides a list of all calls made by using the system.
A PC with MS-DOS* version 3.3 or higher can be used for the programming and
maintenance of the system. The PC is connected to the lower jack on the
processor module (the system programming/maintenance jack).
Loudspeaker paging systems require a paging access module and/or paging
unit such as the PagePac 20. The paging system must be connected to a
ground-start or loop-start line/trunk port that has been programmed for paging,
not to a station port. Figures 5-17 through 5-21 detail the system connections.
Note: A ground-start/loopstart (GS/LS) line port should be programmed for
loop-start operation for paging equipment. If the loop-start port is programmed
for paging, it cannot be used for outside calls unless a PagePac Port Saver is
used.
The PagePac 20 with Zonemate 9 or Zonemate 39 is an external paging system
using dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) signaling that can be connected to a
line/trunk port programmed for paging operation. Bidirectional paging or "talk
back" is available. For paging systems with multiple zones, only one loop-start or
ground-start line/trunk is required.
This system is compatible with the PagePac 20 Common Control Unit set to
loop-start or ground-start operation, and a PagePac 6 Port Saver. The Port Saver
allows the paging unit to be connected to the same loop-start line/trunk used for
calls. Calls can be made and received when the paging unit is not active. The
Port Saver is not compatible with ground-start lines/trunks.
