5. SPOKEN MESSAGE WHEN ABSENT PAGER CALLED
Application: HOSPITAL
System: LBB 6000
Problem: To inform a caller with a spoken message
when a called pager is in its charging
rack when the pager holderr is absent.
People unfamiliar with paging systems
are normally unsure of what an absent
reply is (i.e.warble tone),therefore a
spoken message is clearly understood.
Requirement: Digital Speech card fitted into alphadesk.
Solution
The alphadesk PC has a built-in speech card with the
capability to play spoken messages. If an absent pager is
called with a ‘Meetme’call,the alphadesk dials the ‘Meet-
me’number and activates a pre-recorded message which is
relayed to the caller.
6. ABSENT/PRESENT INDICATION REQUIRED AT
TWO DEPARTMENTS OF A HOSPITAL USING TWO
DIFFERENT DP6000 SYSTEMS
Application: HOSPITAL
System: Two paging systems coupled with Modem
LBB 5907.
Problem: Two departments of a hospital at different
locations are to be coupled via a paging
system.Absent indication is required at
both systems when a pager holder leaves
one department for another without
placing the pager in the storage rack.
Requirement: Two paging systems are coupled via
modem.Each system must respond to the
operation of badgecard readers located in
each department. The badgecard readers
provide absent/present indication,
updating the ‘Auto Call’table
automatically.
Solution
Each department employs a badgecard reader system
which is used when one enters or leaves a department.
The badgecard reader system is coupled to the Alphadesk
using its RS232 capability.When the pager holder uses
the badgecard to leave or enter a department, the
alphadesk PC responds to the RS232 data
(absent/present) and automatically updates the ‘Auto Call’
table.When one of the encoders in the system makes a
call to an absent pager (i.e. the pager is absent in the real-
time ‘Auto call’table of the alphadesk), the alphadesk will
generate an absent indication as though the pager was
stored in its storage rack.
