Telephone Interface
The Model 10959-006 AMI connects to the PSTN, and through the Model 10961-001 AMI Centra-Page
Interface, connects to the Centra-Page system. Pressing the Interface’s front panel A
CCESS and
D ISCONNECT buttons causes the AMI to take the phone line on or off-hook. Pot R10 on the 69542-001
PCBA can adjust the level of the audio from the phone line to the Centra-Page party line.
N OTE : The I N U SE LED on the front panel of the Interface lights when the phone line is connected to
party line 1.
There are two modes of operation: Day mode and Night mode. The Day/Night mode toggle switch on the
Interface’s front panel is used to switch between the two modes. If the toggle switch is put in the Night
position, a remote switch (maintained) connected to terminal block TB13 on the rear panel of the Centra-
Page Central Cabinet can be used.
Day Mode
An attendant, with access to a phone on the same line as the AMI and a Centra-Page station, answers the
incoming call and pages the person being called. When that person answers on party line 1 of the Centra-
Page system, the attendant presses the ACCESS button to connect the phone line to the party line. Upon
completion of the call, the attendant presses the DISCONNECT button to hang up the phone line.
If the attendant is not there, the AMI will auto-answer after the fourth ring. The caller will hear two
beeps, and can then make a live page. When a Centra-Page station goes off-hook after the page, the
phone is connected to party line 1. The AMI will go back on-hook 15 seconds after the station goes back
on-hook.
Night Mode
In night mode an incoming call is auto-answered after one ring. The ring message is played over the
paging system until a Centra-Page station on party line 1 goes off-hook. The page then stops and the
phone line is connected to party line 1. The AMI will go back on-hook 15 seconds after the station goes
back on-hook.
There is a one-minute time out if the page is not answered and then the AMI will hang up the call.
