How to FWD Recep DN to Paging ZN at Night

[CTI06]

I've got a customer with a full paging amplifier setup up for their production area and they want to be able to make the system ring over those speakers during the swing and night shifts. Any ideas on how to do this?

The system is a CICS 7.1 w/ half a dozen 7316e phones and the primary DN is 221 with is the only one that rings lines 1, 2, & 3.

you can set up a service mode to ring the aux relay and connect that to the night bell of the paging amp

Right, wire the aux page pair to your paging equipment. The aux contacts provides contact closure only. If it's not built in on your amp, you'll need a ringing source.

The amp has not 'night bell' which by the sounds of it I'm guessing has a timer connected to it so that her extension could always ring the aux ringer but would only work at night. With just a ring generator hooked between the aux ringer and paging amp I'm trying to figure out an easy 'one button' way for her extension to ring the paging horns at night but not the day.

Unfortunately all of the other extensions are setup with voice mailboxes into the CP100 so I don't want to turn the aux ringer on for any of those then forward her extension.

If I program one of the unused extensions that has no phone connected to it for the aux ringer feature then have her F4 her extension to that phone at night would it work?

Thanks in advance!

I would suggest to replace the amp....get them updated with new features on the amp.

or get an Algo Ringer, they can be hooked up to an amp or speaker or used on its own.

Ahh. CICS? Use the ATA port. Fwd the recept set to the ATA, and the ring will generate right off the system.

As a rule, I still like Service modes and ring generators better. There are better uses for ATA's.

Well that's easy, I hadn't even thought of that! I'll test that out when I'm up there next.
