Output Zone/Group Confimations Overview
These options apply to zones or groups already configured as outputs (see
"Type of Zone," above). All these parameters can be individually optioned
per zone. For a summary of these options, see the Programming Quick
Reference Chart at the end of this section.
Type of Output
This option selects the type of output for an individual output zone. The
choices here are AUDIO/NORMALLY OPEN, NORMALLY CLOSED,
SYSTEM HANDSHAKE, MOMENTARY OPEN, and TOGGLE. The
AUDIO/NORMALLY OPEN option is the default. The primary use for the
NORMALLY CLOSED or SYSTEM HANDSHAKE is to determine how the
switch closure is to function.
When the SYSTEM HANDSHAKE option is chosen, the closure will
energize when a valid OFF HOOK condition has been detected. (System
Handshake is a feature required by certain PBX systems: when they
access the PagePac Plus, they require a return acknowledgment signal –
the "handshake" – from the PagePac Plus.)
The MOMENTARY OPEN and TOGGLE options are intended to be used
for controlling door striker plates, for instance, to permit a security door to
be unlocked. The MOMENTARY OPEN will stay energized for as long as
the zone is selected. The TOGGLE will stay energized until the zone is
selected again. Neither of these modes will respond to an Attendant
Access page or an All-Call page.
