Available - 8 External Paging zones

Default Setting

Aspila EX Software Manual

With External Paging, a user can broadcast announcements over paging equipment connected to

external Paging zones. When a user pages on of these external zones, the system broadcasts the

announcement over the speakers. Like Internal Paging, External Paging allows a user to locate

another employee or make an announcement without calling each extension individually.

The system allows up to nine External Paging zones. There is one zone (#1) on the NTCPU. All

other zones (#1-8) requires a port on a 2PGDAD module, with a maximum of two external paging

circuits per module. You must have four 2PGDAD modules to get the eight external zones. In addi-

tion, each external zone has an associated relay contact. When a user pages to a zone, the corre-

sponding contact activates (closes). This provides for Paging amplifier control. Refer to the system

hardware manual for additional details.

Combined Paging

Use Combined Paging when you want to simultaneously Page into an internal and corresponding

external zone. For example, you can Page your company's warehouse and outside loading dock at

the same time. Combined Paging is available for Paging zones 1-9 and All Call. Refer to Paging,

Internal (page 282) for more on setting up Combined Paging. In addition, you can program a

Function Key as a Combined Paging key. Using the External Page Function Key, when an All Call

External Page Function Key is programmed, it will include both the external zones and the assigned

internal zone(s). If the internal page zone is busy or there are no extensions in a page group, the

announcement will be made on the external zones only.

Remove Paging Information from Display Phones

A Class of Service option is available in system programming to prevent display telephones from

showing incoming paging information. This allows the system to save processor time and speed up

system operation.

(A.) For more than one external page zone (as provided on the NTCPU), External Paging requires

2PGDAD modules and customer-provided Paging equipment.

(B.) With Combined Paging, the system will allow a page over just the external page zone if the

internal zone is busy or if there are no extensions in a page group.

No External Paging defined.
