Note: In the example MI configuration channel 1 is for a BGM 
source and channel 2 is for a PBX connection. 
Note: In the example, MI Equipment No 4 will fire the 2
nd
output
when this station calls a master.
In the “Group blocking to” tab, each column represents
a segment of the system and the rows beneath it determine 
access to the other segments. The rule is a checked box 
allows an interaction from the Group column to the object 
row, a blank box denies that interaction. The reverse is not 
necessarily true, so Group 1 may be able to dial Group 2, but 
Group 2 would not be able to dial them back unless there is a 
check box next to 1 under the Group 2 column. 
For Group 1, go down the list and check each box to
enable that Group 1 to call that group. When finished with 
Group 1’s permissions, move on to the next column and fill 
out Group 2’s permissions in the same way. The All page can 
be enabled for a particular group, but each paging zone that 
would be part of that All Page must also be enabled. 
“Remote response group” is a feature similar to Group
call except the Remote response group members do not ring, 
but they may still take an incoming call by using the PTT key. 
 
Step 5.4 
Advanced: Integration
Background Music 
The Multi Interface section of the program is used to set up 
extra paging zones, background music, camera call up, and 
what the Contact Inputs and Outputs are used for. 
The Audio I/O tab can bring in a music source,
enable auxiliary inputs for paging (such as an automated 
message) or background music, or to interface with a PBX. 
Once the background music is chosen for one of those 2 
inputs, each Exchange or IP Master Function Settings(1) tab 
can specify up to 8 different MI channels, which involves an 
equipment number (AN-8000MI’s are not named) and the 
input (1 or 2). Select the equipment number for the MI that 
has the BGM input, then select which of the 2 inputs on the 
MI it comes in on. Then go to the Function Settings for each 
Station (Function Settings2 if configuring an IP Station) and 
check the box next to Receives BGM and tell the station 
which BGM channel (1-8) it receives. To operate, a master 
can control its own channel by using the sequence Function 
+ 1 + X (where X is 1-8 or 0 to turn it off). 
 
Camera Call Up 
For Camera call up, select the Station or IP Station
from the Station selection box and switch to the Function 
Settings tab (or Function Settings2). In the Calling station 
indication/CCTV control box specify which MI Equipment No. 
and Contact output No. should provide a make contact when 
the station is called. To specify a make contact when this 
station calls another, up to 8 can be set by Called station’s 
No. 
 
Note: If the contact is being used for door release, you may specify the 
contact as such in the Door Remote field of a Station’s Function 
Settings tab. This will enable the relay to fire during communication 
using the sequence Transfer + Function + 0 for any door. The system 
will only fire the relay for the door the operator is currently talking to.
