Optional Telephone Operation
The Telephone Interface has multiple operational modes. The appropriate mode is configurable by the
AMI Configuration Tool software application.
The AMI can provide passcode-protected telephone access to the system. The AMI can be configured to
allow telephone access only if the correct Remote Access Security Code is entered. The remote access
code is used to prevent unwanted callers from directly accessing the system. If the system is configured
to use a security code, callers are required to enter the correct code to gain access to the system. Day and
Night modes can have different security codes.
The modes of operation are as follows:
 Page/Party
® - Delivers a live voice page (not pre-recorded) to the page line output. The party line is
held open following the page.
 Record Page - Records a page, and delivers it to the page line output.
 Mixed Mode - Records a page, delivers it to the page line output, and holds the party line open
following the page.
 Live Page Mode - Delivers a live voice page (not pre-recorded) to the page line output. The party
line is not open following the page.
 Ring Mode – Does not deliver a page, but instead plays a configured message on the page line to
signal the incoming call.
 Manual/Disabled – The Telephone Interface does not automatically answer a phone call. However,
an input can be configured for “Manual Access” to allow an attendant to manually answer the phone,
and transfer calls to a party line.
The AMI can support two modes of operation: Day and Night Mode. The day and night modes can be
configured independently of each other.
As an example of the Day and Night modes, day mode may be configured to allow callers the ability of
paging and subsequent party line communications. The night mode may be configured to play a tone over
the paging system alerting personnel of an incoming call. In this mode, the call can be answered at any
Page/Party
® station.
Page/Party ® Operation
The Page/Party ® operation allows for the AMI to play messages/alarms and connect phone calls to a
Page/Party ® system.
The Page/Party ® operation has the ability to generate the VLC tone during a message/alarm that gives
Page/Party ® stations a signal to change the volume of the message/alarm being played.
When the AMI is interfaced to a Page/Party ® system, the operation of the telephone interface is as
described above, and includes all page modes. The selected party line is hardwired in the system, and
cannot be changed by the caller or the AMI configuration.
In addition to the telephone operation described above, a user on the Page/Party ® system can initiate a call
by using Party Hot Dial. When configured via the ACT tool, the AMI recognizes when a station goes off-
hook on the designated party line, and automatically dials the preprogrammed telephone number. When
the station goes on-hook, the call is terminated after the hang-up delay expires.
