Synapse Installation Guide 31 [ATA] Optional ATA Installation
[ATA] Connecting an Overhead Paging System (OHP)
A Single Zone or Multi-Zone system can be integrated into an existing Synapse network. The control unit or analog amplifier for
the Overhead Paging system connects directly to the ATA via an FXS or the AUX OUT jack, depending on the type of paging
system. Synapse supports most OHP systems that support PBX station ports or auxiliary audio-out connections to a PBX. Some
settings for the OHP may have to be changed to work with Synapse. The following OHP systems have been verified to work with
Synapse.
If you don't know whether your OHP is Single Zone or Multi Zone, see “[ATA] Paging Configuration” in the Synapse
Administrator's Guide at
www.telephones.att.com/synapseguides. There are so many types of paging equipment
that you may need to contract with a communications equipment professional to install the OHP.

Whether you are replacing a phone system and using an existing (already working) OHP, or installing a new OHP,
the paging system may have settings that need to be adjusted to work with Synapse.
OHPs that are “Line Mode” that cannot be set to “Station Mode” cannot be used with Synapse.
It is likely that if you are using a Single Zone Paging System that you want to attach to the AUX out port, you will
need to create your own cable.
