I have a BCM50 3.0 and I want to be able to use the park and page feature of Call Pilot as a form of after hours "night bell".
I want to be able to use the page feature over a multi-zoned PA system that uses an analog trunk port off the 50.
The question is, how can I access the PA system using the "Park and Page" feature? Or is there a piece of hardware I can buy that takes the page output off the 50 and directly inputs into the Bogen unit.
TIA
 
Yes, the BCM50 has a Page output. You can use any 3rd party paging equipment, Bogen, Valcom, Viking, Algo.

Sorry for my confusion and inaccurate info in original post. Are you saying I can take the BCM page output and directly interface with the input of the Valcom V-2003 I already have installed.
Present setup requires that I use a 6 from a phone as a TAC to access page controller and then input page zone number. Not sure how this would work with the BCM page output. I'm thinking I would probably need a Bogen TG4C or similar HW to act as an intermidiate device.
 
Park and Page uses the telephone sets or Page Port, do not see how it could work on a Trunk Port?

"Adversity is Opportunity
 
What would I need to purchase if I just made the PA speaker system a "aux ringer" for afterhours incoming calls? The requirement would be that I just need incoming calls to ring over the PA speakers and then have the calls picked up at the nearest phone The phones would be ringing as well.
This is a machine shop environment and the people who need to answer the calls afterhours don't have their own phones.
 
I suppose if I wanted to still use the park and page, I could take the BCM page port and just wire it into the self amplified speakers and bypass the Valcomm unit. BADABING
 
if you just need a night ring the valcom page module might have the night ringer built in ,you will just need to connect the aux relay pair ,and program the aux port

if the night ringer not built in you could get a third party tone generator (like and algo ringer)
