Loudspeaker paging systems allow you to broadcast a message over a
large area, by connecting the paging system directly to the PAGE jack on
the processor module. The system supports all AT&T paging systems.
For information on how to use a loudspeaker paging system with the
system, see Chapter 5.
Music-on-hold systems allow you to play recorded music to callers
while they are on hold, by connecting the music-on-hold system to the
processor module. The system supports the AT&T Magic on Hold®
system and most models from other manufacturers. (If you use
equipment that rebroadcasts music or other copyrighted materials, you
may be required to obtain a license from a third party such as ASCAP or
BMI.)
Extra alerts are strobes, lights, chimes, horns, or bells that light or ring
when calls come in. For example, you can use an audible alert (chime,
horn, or bell) to replace a phone ring in a noisy area, such as a factory.
Similarly, you can use a visual alert (strobe or light) to replace a phone
ring in a quiet area, such as a library. AT&T offers several compatible
alerts.
Speakerphones provide hands-free two-way operation of a phone
without lifting the handset. Combining a speakerphone with an
MLS-model system phone or a standard phone on an extension in a
conference room or office is an inexpensive way for several people at a
meeting to conference in other parties. The system supports the AT&T
S203 speakerphone.
Headsets allow users to hold private, hands-free conversations. A
headset is a combination earphone and microphone worn on the head,
useful for receptionists, salespeople, or others who need to have their
hands free while talking on the phone. AT&T offers several compatible
headsets.
Handsets for hard-of-hearing users can be used by MLS-34D users
who need even more amplification than is provided by the volume
controls on their phones. Although the volume controls on system
phones significantly reduce the need for an amplified handset,
hard-of-hearing users may find that the AT&T K6S handset meets their
needs.
In-Range Out-of-Building (IROB) protectors are required to prevent
electrical surges from damaging your system when phones are installed
in another building, but on the same continuous property. The system
supports the AT&T IROB protector, which provides coverage over a
distance of 3,000 feet for standard phones and 1,000 feet for MLS- and
MLC-model phones.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filters allow you to block “noise”
generated by a nearby radio station, as well as most electrical devices.
