7. EXTERNAL INPUT PAGING
(only when the N-8000MI/8000AF is used)
By connecting the Remote microphone or playback components to the Multi-interface unit or Audio interface
unit, activating its control input enables broadcasting to the preprogrammed zone(s).
There are two methods of activation: one is to use the Audio input terminal (A in the following figure), and the
other is to use the Contact input terminal (B).
Set only the broadcast zones when activating the Audio input terminal, and both the broadcast zones and
input sound source when activating the Contact input terminal. Set the input sound source operation mode to
"External input paging."
Priorities can be assigned to External input paging.
For more information, read "Priorities" on p. 2-177 .
Note
Use the supplied N-8000 Setting Software to perform each setting. (Refer to p. 5-45 , 5-107 .)
• Closing the control input terminal broadcasts the outputs from the external sound source to the preprogrammed
paging zone(s).
• The broadcast ends when the control input terminal opens.
• Setting External Input Paging for the N-8000AF unit allows user to set the unit's output for paging output.
However, the N-8000AF cannot receive pagings while concurrently broadcasting a page through its input,
and it cannot broadcast a page while receiving a paging.

In this example, a sound source is broadcast
to Paging Zone 1 by activating the Audio input
terminal and to Paging Zone 23 by activating
the Control input terminal.
Both broadcasts will not coincide. While a
broadcast is being made to Paging Zone
1, another broadcast by the Control input
terminal activation is neglected.
[Priority]
• There is no priority between control signals coming to the Audio input terminal and the Contact input terminal.
Even if either terminal is closed while the other terminal is closed, the later activation is not accepted.
• Priorities are equal between paging calls, whether they are initiated by the N-8000 system station or other
system station. If one input terminal closes while the other terminal is closed for paging, the last paging
is placed in standby mode, and is allowed to go through when the other paging is completed. However,
if external input broadcasts have been set for priority ON, they take precedence over all-call paging and
individual zone paging. (Refer to p. 2-177 , "Priorities".)
