BCM 450 external and internal paging

[ljclives]

Installing this and integrating it with an 8 zone module for their overhead paging. Any way to put one button on the telephones that will do an All Page thru phones and speakers? (normailly Feat 630). Since I have to use a CO port for paging prob not.

FEATURE 630 tells the system that you want to page all, external and internal... but it doesn't tell the paging unit what to do yet.
The F630 initiates the contact relay for the BCM to let the voice go to the port and the sets.

What type of paging system do you have?

Typically in the manual, it will say that a specific number (DTMF Code) needs to be input via the system or the paging unit will not respond properly. (no audible page heard)

So I have a site with a 3 zone paging unit, I dial F630 then I get them to input 0 (for all zones) or a 1 (for zone 1) etc... to tell the paging unit what zone to page.

Trunk port comes out of old Magix system to an AT&T page module. Trunk port tip and ring from the module to an old Valcom module that has 8 zones. Tip and ring from each zone on the Valcom goes to its own amplifier - 70V paging speakers on the floor.
I will have to use a trunk port on the 450 not the page port - correct?

Yes a CO port and you use the digits that the Valcom unit are looking for. As for the button it is going to be an analog line you assign to the sets to access the valcom you could put autodials so press the CO button then the autodial.

The answer to your question is no. You will need 2 page buttons. 1 for sets and 1 for overhead. You can't page through a trunk and sets at the same time. As stated, even if you could hook up the paging through the paging port, you would still need to enter a page zone after pressing the page button.

HOOK THE PAGE PORT FROM THE BCM TO THE MUSIC PORT ON THE VALCOM. MAKE SURE ALL ZONES ON VALCOM RECEIVE MUSIC. IF THEY WANT 1 ZONE THEY CAN USE TRUNK ACCESS AND FOR ALL AREAS USE FEATURE 630.

since you are using a trunk port then no

but you can try hooking to the page port ,i believe it passes digits to the external speakers and not the internal sets
