Paging from IP Office

Paging to and from IP Office phone's is covered by the appropriate telephone user guides. This section covers paging to 3rd-party paging equipment (centrally amplified paging systems or self-amplified speakers).

Typically, 3rd-party paging equipment uses analog connections. The IP Office can provide analog connections via either analog trunks or analog extensions. In terms of flexibility of operation once installed, the use of an analog extension port for paging is the preferred solution.  

WARNINGS:  

• The Paging Equipment must provide isolation to the IP Office analog port or an additional interface device must be fitted.

• The Paging Equipment (and separate interface device if used) must conform to the local and national telecommunications device regulation:

• • USA: FCC approval.

  • European Union: CE marked indicating compliance with the EMC (EN41003) and Low Voltage (EN60950) directives.

  • All other countries: use equipment that complies with locals and national telecommunication device regulation.

• Failure to observe the notes above could result in damage to the IP Office or the 3rd-party equipment.

Universal Paging Access Module
For the US, the Universal Paging Access Module (UPAM) is recommended as the interface device between the IP Office and the Paging Equipment.

The UPAM:

• Supports analog extension or trunk (loop or ground start) connection.

• Requires a 24V or 48V power supply if used with trunk connections.

• Provides a pre-announce tone heard at the paging extension and over the paging speakers. On/Off selectable.

•  Provides a confirmation tone heard by the pager only (not supported for ground start trunks). On/Off selectable.

• Has Paging Time control which sets the maximum page time (6 to 35 seconds) if its other disconnect controls are disabled.

• Supports background music input via an RCA-type jack.
