Chapter 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
10.6. Message Paging Priority Level
The Message paging takes precedence over normal conversations and paging calls (except Emergency
paging). When the station to which the Message is being transmitted is in operation, all such operations are
forcibly terminated, allowing the Message paging to go through. Such terminated operations are not restored
even after the Message paging is completed.
10.7. Contact Interlock Control
The N-8000MI Multi-Interface Unit's, the N-8000DI Direct Select Unit's, or N-8000AF Audio Interface Unit's
contact output terminal can be made to close in synchronization with the initiation of the Message paging. Two
methods are available for this: one is to constantly keep the terminal closed during message broadcast and the
other is to close the contact by means of a one-shot pulse only when the broadcast begins.

10.8. Muting Message Pagings (N-8510MS Only)
Only the master station (N-8510MS only) activating Message pagings can be set not to output Message pagings
from its station speaker.
Other operations such as status indicator lighting, repetition of paging, and contact-related controls except
Message paging output are the same as those when mute is not activated.
Audio signals are output as normal at the paging receiving stations.
When the operation other than Message paging activation is performed, sound source (like a call tone)
corresponding to the operation is output.
Tip: Use the supplied N-8000 Setting Software program for Message paging mute setting. (See
p. 5-70 .)
Notes
• Message pagings can be muted at the master station’s built-in speaker only but not at its handset speaker.
• While a Message paging is activated, sound sources such as an error tone other than a message, even if
produced, will be muted. However, these sounds are not muted unless Message pagings are activated.
