  • Page 3: Overview

    Zetron 2000 Series Paging Terminal to perform its specified functions. This guide also shows how the 2000 Series options relate to one another, and what requirements are important to be aware of when ordering these options.

    DID trunks onto one system. All of these functions are possible with the 2000 Series Paging Terminals, and are covered in this Configuration Guide.
  • Page 5: Part Two - Standard Features

    20,000 subscribers you must first buy to an even 5K increment with the -X01 option. If you plan to use an external system such as the Zetron ZAPP software to enter alphanumeric pages and send them to the terminal via TNPP then additional users do not have to be purchased for the terminal because the subscriber database is maintained by the ZAPP software.
  • Page 6 The AlphaZ Alphanumeric Paging software (930-0001) is single-user software that runs on a PC running under DOS. A PC running AlphaZ interfaces to the 2000 Series either through a dial-up modem (the Dual Alpha Input Modem) or locally through the Multiport Serial Interface Card. See the AlphaZ price and specifications sheets for additional information.
  • Page 7: Voice Messaging

    2.4.1 Do you want to provide Voice Prompts, instead of beeps, to the callers to help them through the calling process? System Voice Prompts enables the 2000 Series paging terminal to give callers instructions while placing a page. They are recorded at the factory, but can be rerecorded over the telephone by the system operator.
  • Page 8: Telco Ports

    PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.4.3 Voice Prompt Ordering Do not order these options if any PageSaver options (as specified in section 2.3.2) have been ordered. The voice prompt options are included with PageSaver. If specified in section 2.4.1, then order the System Voice Prompts (950-9069) option.
  • Page 9 PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.5.1.2.2 If specified in section 2.4.1 or 2.4.2, determine the offered telco traffic due to voice prompts The average voice prompt takes about 7 seconds to be heard. If during your busiest hour, 25% of your subscriber base receives a single message, then the number of seconds that a trunk will be in use for voice prompts is: trunk in use time (seconds) = # subscribers (from section 2.1.1) x 7 seconds x 25%...

  • Page 11 PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.5.1.4 Example You are a hospital administrator who wishes to put in a private paging system. Since your system will be used by emergency personnel, you want to insure that they receive a few busy signals as possible when they call the paging terminal.
  • Page 12 DTMF phones are rare. Note: The viability of dial click decoding depends on the type of telco central offices serving each of the callers and the paging terminal. Consult Zetron for specific applications and if desired, then order one Dual-Dial Click Decoder (950-9933) option for each Dual-Telco card ordered above in section 2.5.3.1 or 2.5.3.2 that will support dial-click decoding.
  • Page 13: Transmitters

    If a remote transmitter is not equipped with an integrated or outboard device that allows it to decode the control tones generated at the paging terminal end, it can be equipped to do so with the Zetron Model 66 Transmitter Control Panel (901-9094). The Model 66 decodes Motorola PURC control tones, which are ®...
  • Page 14 Each Zetron Model 66 that is controlling a transmitter in a sequential system needs to be equipped with the Transmitter Address Decoder option (950-9125). Order the number of multiple address options (-B23) for each Radio Station Card specified in section 2.6.1.
  • Page 15: Part Three - Advanced Features

    In order to route calls from the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network, or telco central office) through the 2000 Series terminal and then back out to the PSTN, a 4-wire E&M circuit must be used to ensure acceptable audio quality. If such a circuit is not available, the Zetron Model 810 Digital Hybrid can be used to convert a 2-wire circuit so that it can connect with a 4-wire audio E&M telco interface.
  • Page 16 (connects into a DID line) 3.2.3 Do you want to provide interconnect forwarding from the paging terminal to a Zetron Model If desired, order the -B45 routing option. If mobile originated calls are also desired, then choose one of the following: -B38 dial out on end-to-end line or -B39 dial out on E&M line...
  • Page 17 Talkback paging requires the use of a full-duplex repeater. This option supports only two-tone encoding for selective signaling of the mobiles/portables. The radios cannot initiate calls through the 2000 Series paging terminal. If desired, order the -B08 talkback paging option. 001-0131B...
  • Page 18 PART THREE - ADVANCED FEATURES 3.2.11 How many trunks do you need to support PathFinder call routing? none This will be the total of the following: Reference Section # additional trunks Two times the number of tie trunks that will be used to connect 3.2.1 to a PABX Two times the number of tie trunks that will be used to connect...
  • Page 19: Alarm Monitoring

    3.3.1 Do you want to monitor alarm inputs (occurring within 150 feet of the terminal) in order to automatically send pages when alarm conditions occur? The Zetron Model 7030 Alarm Monitoring System interfaces to 2000 Series paging terminals so that they can automatically send tone only and display pages when a contact closure is detected. The Alarm Monitoring System must be located within 150 feet of the paging terminal.
  • Page 20 The Zetron Model 1516 SentriDial (901-9151), when equipped with the TAP Protocol and Internal Modem option (950-9176) can dial into the 2000 Series paging terminal to initiate pages in response to alarms detected by the SentriDial. The paging terminal must be equipped with at least one telco port with an Alpha Input Modem (950-9108).
  • Page 21 PART THREE - ADVANCED FEATURES 3.4 REDUNDANT TERMINALS 3.4.1 Do you plan to have a fully redundant 2000 Series terminal to serve as a hot standby system to back up the primary system? If a fully redundant backup system is desired, it is recommended that the backup system duplicates the primary system in terms of software, features, and interface cards.

    PART FOUR - SYSTEM ORDER GUIDE 4. PART FOUR - SYSTEM ORDER GUIDE 4.1 VOICE CONTROLLER 4.1.1 Number of Voice Channels In order to support any voice applications (voice paging, voice messaging, or voice prompts), the 2000 Series paging terminal must be equipped with the ADPCM Voice Controller Card. 4.1.1.1 Determine the number of channels that will need voice support.

  • Page 25: Input Power Requirements

    PART FOUR - SYSTEM ORDER GUIDE If using Digital T1 (see section 2.5.2), then no 2200EX Expansion Chassis can be used. If a PageSaver option of more than 6 hours (12 hour and above) is used (see section 2.3.2) then you must use Model 2200. If using mirrored disk drives (specified in section 4.3) then you must use Model 2200.

    Local Area Network. The interconnection between the LAN and the 2000 Series paging terminal can be handled in one of two ways. The first way is for each user’s PC on the LAN to directly access the terminal through either a dial- up modem or direct serial link.
  • Page 27: Part Six - Spares

    6.1 DO YOU WANT TO HAVE SPARE PARTS AVAILABLE? Spares are available for the 2000 Series paging terminals at the board level, which means that even a technician with a minimum of training can replace any failed board. Every board that is critical to the functioning of the paging terminal is available as a spare.

  • Page 29: Part Seven - Installation, Power, And Protection

    7.1 DO YOU HAVE LIGHTNING PROTECTION ON YOUR TELCO LINES? Zetron can supply a Protection Kit to provide protection from power surges on the telco lines such as those caused by lightning strikes. The Protection Kit is designed for secondary protection. Primary protection (such as gas discharge) or Zetron DeadBolt Lighting Surge Arrestors is recommended.

    PART EIGHT - PREINSTALLATION GUIDE 8. PART EIGHT - PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDE 8.1 OPERATING CONDITIONS Be sure that the following operating condition limitations will not be exceeded for the paging terminal location. 8.1.1 Power Power conditioning is suggested. Remember, it takes the paging terminal approximately 2 minutes to boot up, so each brown-out or power failure will make the system inoperable for up to 2 minutes.
  • Page 31: Phone Lines

    PART EIGHT - PREINSTALLATION GUIDE 8.5 PHONE LINES Any additional or change in phone line types from the phone company should be installed and tested prior to going live. 8.6 MICROWAVE EQUIPMENT When using microwave or RF equipment for links, the equipment should be installed and tested prior to going live.
