Station Time-out Features
The ICS SmartSeries option supports a page duration limit that sets the maximum duration of each page.
If the page is still active when the page duration limit is reached, the page will be terminated. When used
without an ADVANCE head end, the page duration limit is fixed at 2 minutes.
The ICS SmartSeries option supports an off-hook limit that sets the maximum duration that the station
may be kept off hook. If the off-hook limit is reached, the station will be placed electrically on hook. To
reset the timeout condition, the handset must be physically placed on hook momentarily. When used
without an ADVANCE head end, the off-hook limit is fixed at 8 minutes.
All Call Paging Utilizing a Merge/Isolate Cabinet
Merge/Isolate (M/I) cabinets contain switching relays that are energized by a control signal from
Page/Party
® stations. When energized, the relays merge (connect together) the page lines of multiple
Page/Party ® systems. This allows voice pages to be broadcast from all the systems connected to the M/I
cabinet. ICS handset stations with the All Call feature contain a push-button switch on the front panel for
activating an M/I cabinet. Refer to Figure 11.
