General Information
The Model MI05-101 Merge/Isolate (M/I) Cabinet is designed to operate in a multi-zone Page/Party ®
communication system. The cabinet can selectively merge and isolate up to five zones that normally
ope
r a t e i nde pe nde nt l y. Ea c h z one ’ s Pa ge / Pa r t y ® communication cable, which contains five party lines
and one page line, is connected to the M/I cabinet.
When merged, the zones share a page line and a party line. For example, two zones can be merged while
the remaining zones in the system are isolated and continue to operate independently. Voice pages
generated from handset stations within one zone can be heard in the other zone when the two zones are
merged. The actual merging and isolating of the zones is controlled by a GAI-Tronics Model MS05-101
Master Desktop Station (or equivalent), which works in conjunction with the cabinet. The cabinet supports
a maximum of eight master stations.
In addition to merging and isolating the system zones, the cabinet can also perform other functions when
equipped with the following accessories, all of which can be added at any time:
 MS05-101 Master Desktop Station or equivalent — a Page/Party ® handset station that also provides
the capability for an operator to direct the merging and isolating of zones and manual initiation of
alarms when used in conjunction with the M/I cabinet.
 10959-101 Audio Messenger Interface (AMI) — a microprocessor-controlled tone/speech generator
that produces alarm tones (with speech messages) to alert people of emergency conditions.
 10959-103 Audio Messenger Interface with Telephone Interface — provides the same features and
functions as the Model 10959-101 described above, but adds telephone interface circuits to allow
telephone users the ability to make voice pages and to communicate with handset stations in the
Page/Party
® system on party line 5.
 GTK99019 Audio Interface — allows other audio sources, such as 2-way radio equipment, to be
connected to the system.
