PARTNER PLUS 3.1

IS THE PAGE PORT ON A PARTNER PLUS 3.1 A TWO WAY PORT AND WOULD IT ACCOMODATE A TALK BACK LOUDSPEAKER?

YES

Ok, but how would you use it? When you access the port via *70, you initiate a single direction page. If you picked up an extension in calling group 1, you'd be in a private intercom call between the two, no longer a page. If the talkback acted as an intercom, wouldn't it trip to an intercom call? If it didn't, wouldn't noise or conversations from the talkback areas enter any page made? Of course, I don't think volume on talkback circuits is nearly sufficient to overpower a PagePac.

Color me confused as to how it could work?

His Partner Plus 3.1 doesn't even have simultaneous page (Int.-*-70), so external page is accessed with Int-70 (note without the star). This pages to the Page Port only, not Page Port and Calling Group 71.

On the later rev.s and the ACS line, yes simultaneous page is available, and NO, you wouldn't use it with talkback or zone page adapters, cause the stations in 71 would hear the talkback or the ZPA's dial tone and input. So you would instruct the users to use Int-70 instead.

Such a deal! I Didn't know the port was a single path on earlier systems. That's the trouble with doing so many new installs, you forget/don't deal with a lot of things fixed or expanded in later revisions. I wasn't even aware you could do a straight 70. I *assumed* that it would ring the port, just as leaving the star off an intercom extension call would.

Thanks!
