Paging

System Availability: All systems

The Strata CIX has a paging interface that supports a Toshiba External Speaker (BESCB) or a customer-supplied amplifiers and speakers for Paging, Night Ringing over Page, and BGM applications. Users can access any of the Paging options by dialing access codes or by using a programmed One Touch button.

Telephone Group Paging

Paging is activated from an extension by specifying a Paging Group. Paging can be broadcast through digital telephone speakers and external paging devices simultaneously. The system

supports up to 16 telephone page groups with up to 120 (CIX200), 72 (CIX100) or 120 (CIX670) telephones per group. Standard telephones cannot be members of a page group.

External Speaker Page Zones

The Strata CIX supports eight different paging zones for external speakers. Users can access zones by dialing an access code plus the zone or pressing a One Touch button. The zones are composed of customer-supplied speaker(s) and amplifier(s). One BIOU supports up to four page zone interfaces, a second BIOU is required for 5~8 zones.

Emergency Page

Designated stations can be permitted to place an Emergency Page to ensure they can reach all concerned with an important announcement. An Emergency Page is one that will supersede any

current page to allow this privileged station to take over the paging apparatus. Like other forms of paging, an Emergency Page can be an All Page or directed to a specific Page Group and External Page Zones.

Each of the 16 Paging Groups supports up to 32 devices. Emergency Page groups follow the regular Group Paging. The list for Emergency All Call Paging is a separately defined list from regular paging. An emergency page may be answered in the same manner as a regular page.

Night Ringing Over Selected Page Zones

Lines can be programmed to night ring over eight selected Page zones via customer-supplied paging equipment. Up to two BIOU circuit cards can be installed to connect external paging or night ringing equipment. Each BIOU supports up to four page zones.
