VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1)
Using the VPSI-1 with a Vocia Paging Station
The VPSI-1 is designed to connect to the Paging Station Auxiliary Port. The Paging Station Auxiliary Port is located on the underside of the
Desk Station paging device or internally on a Wall Station paging device.
The Vocia software is used to specify the Page Code accessed when using the VPSI-1 PTT. The following two modes of operation are provided:
• Follow Paging Station Page Code: the VPSI-1 will Page to whichever Page Code is currently selected on the associated Paging Station.
• Use Specific Page Code: All Pages initiated via the Push-to-Talk button on the VPSI-1 will use the specified Page Code.
Live Page Preambles are supported but must be assigned to the host Paging Station in the Vocia software. When used with a Paging
Station that is configured with a PIN code, the VPSI-1 will activate and deactivate in unison with the Paging Station.
It is not possible to simultaneously Page from the VPSI-1 and host Paging Station. The first PTT button pressed will take precedence.
When paging from the VPSI-1, the Paging Station will display that it is unavailable. When paging from the Paging Station the Busy and
Wait status LED’s will indicate on the VPSI-1.
The audio path between the VPSI-1 and the host device is not monitored and therefore may not be suitable for critical paging applications.
A VPSI-1 must not be deployed with Emergency Paging Stations in EN54-16 installations.
LED Indicators when used with Paging Station
The VPSI-1 allows two bi-color status LEDs for monitoring of Paging status when the microphone and PTT input is used. LED behavior is
as follows:
VPSI-1 LED Status Busy LED Wait LED Talk LED
Idle Off Off 5 second pulse
Destination Zones in Use Flash Flash Off
Wait Off On Off
Talk Now Off Off On
