Paging with ADVANCE Head End
Paging and party line operation is similar to standard Page/Party ® operation. The main differences are
that when the handset pressbar or the headset page switch is depressed a steady “wait” tone will be heard
in the handset or headset earpiece. When the “wait” tone ends, a pre-announcement tone, if programmed,
will sound, and the operator may place their page. If the system is busy and the page is denied, the user
will hear a busy tone in the handset or headset earpiece.
Paging without ADVANCE Head End
Paging and party line operation is similar to standard Page/Party ® operation with the addition of an
optional pre-announcement tone being generated by the station at the beginning of each page.
Station Time-out Features
The ICS SmartSeries supports a page duration limit that sets the maximum duration of each page. If the
page is still active when the page duration limit is reached, the page will be terminated. When used
without an ADVANCE head end, the page duration limit is fixed at 2 minutes.
The ICS SmartSeries supports an off-hook limit that sets the maximum duration that the station may be
kept off hook. If the off-hook limit is reached, the station will be placed electrically on hook. To reset
the timeout condition, the handset must be physically placed on-hook momentarily. When used without
an ADVANCE head end, the off-hook limit is fixed at 8 minutes.
