Paging interface

[tarheel25]

I am looking for someone who has some experience in connecting the Avaya PBX to an external Valcom paging system. I would like to know how you set up the programming on the Avaya.

I have this running OK. on a G3V11. What software are you running and what type of Valcom equipment do you have.

Hope I can Help

We are running V11 also. I want to use a V-2003A Valcom three zone page control unit. I want to interface with the Avaya on a loop start trunk. I would like to use a 2 digit access code such as 31 or 32 along as it is not used for some other purpose in the Avaya.
Would it be possible to get a snapshot of the programming on the page trunk that you have installed.

My system is using a aux card and a 909 coupler. Below is the only programming I can remember.

PAGING PORT ASSIGNMENTS

I think if you have a loop start trunk Xconn the Tip&Ring to the Valcom T&R. My wiring is more complex due to the Sneak fuse and 909 coupler. All holdover from a V6 original load.
Keep in mind that Valcom help desk is very good. I've used them in the past with great success.

Hope this helps

Why would you use a loopstart circuit and not just an analog extension off of the definity?

just curious.

I always used some sort of trunk so I can use a access code. Someone mis-dials the extension you have someone going HELLO HELLO over the paging system. Second I have a 19 zone page system. I need an access code followed by the zone.

Interesting. I have generally used valcom equipment that requires a dtmf tone that controls that.

So, by using a loopstart ckt, how do you control who can access it?

 

[1a22ip]

First only the people that need to know the codes know. Second FRL's will allow only certain sets to dial the access code.

Hope this helps
