Plug the analog phone line (RJ11) into the MPI Phone input.

Dial the extension of the phone line. The Status LED will turn on.
3.
Wait for a tone from the MPI then press 00# for an all-call page or the zone number followed by the “#”.
Pressing the “*” while entering a zone number acts as a backspace if a digit was entered incorrectly and “*”
will hang-up after pressing the “#.”

Wait for a tone from the MPI then make the page. Hang up the phone receiver when the page is complete.
The Status LED will turn off.
Note: Use 00 – 240 for all custom made zones (241 – 255 are reserved). Two or three digits may be used for zone
numbers. See the Sound Manager or Reports manual for information on creating zones.
Preceding zeros will be ignored - 01# ~ 1# and 00# ~ 0#.
