Assigning Ancillary Devices (continued)
• DIR
This feature is used in conjunction with a bell or buzzer and acts as a gate/door control.
EXAMPLE
You might want to set this feature up in a warehouse so that when a truck pulls up to
the gate to make a delivery, he calls the warehouse manager who can then dial 779
to open the gate for the truck to drive through to get back to the loading dock of the
warehouse.
OR
When there is no receptionist, a phone is left in the lobby. When a visitor arrives, they
use the lobby phone to dial the extension of the employee they are visiting. That
employee can then dial 779 (or other specified number) to open the locked door,
allowing the visitor to enter beyond the lobby.
HARDWARE SETUP (I.E., USING THE CONTACTS ON THE CPM AS MENTIONED ABOVE)
• Music Sources 1 and 2 Contacts allow for music (or something else) to be played while calls are on hold - but
must also be set up in PC-DBA or by DET.
• External Pager Contact provides the ability to dial a number from an extension so that a page can be sent to
selected paging zones (aka an announcement over a speaker).
• Loud Bell Contact provides the ability to set the system up so that in certain (perhaps noisy) areas in a building,
when the phone rings, it will activate a loud bell and can also be used as an on/off switch for Music On Hold and
External Page.
IMPORTANT!
In addition to making the correct contact setting, you must also program the
features above in the system software - see below.
SOFTWARE SETUP
Once you make the hardware (contact) setup, you must program the features in the program software. The settings
are made in the Loud Bell feature - see
“Establishing Loud Bell Settings” on page 80.
