Activating auxiliary ringer programming
You can activate the auxiliary ringer by setting auxiliary ring for specific external lines and BCM
telephones.
Connecting the external paging system
You can connect a customer-supplied external paging system to provide paging over external
loudspeakers.
Ensure the paging system follows these guidelines:
• The paging output from the MSC is 100 mV rms across an input impedance of 600
Ω.
• The output level is 0 dBm0 with reference to 600 ohms, for a PCM encoded signal at 0 dBm.
There is no DC voltage across the page output terminals.
• The page output uses the tip and ring terminals of the jack. The sleeve terminal of the jack
connects to ground. You must use a stereo plug to connect the page signal output.
When you use the page signal output jack to connect an external paging amplifier, you also use the
page relay jack, which contains a floating relay contact pair. The system uses this jack to control
the external paging amplifier.
• The contact pair has a switch capacity of 50 mA (non-inductive) at 40 V (maximum). You
must remove any inductive load on the output.
• The page relay contacts connect to the tip and ring terminals of the jack. The sleeve terminal of
the jack connects to ground. You must use a stereo plug to connect the page relay.
To install an external paging system
1 Use the installation instructions that came with the external paging hardware to install the
external paging system.
2 Connect the paging system audio input to the page output on the MSC. Refer to Figure 88 .
