PART ONE - OVERVIEW 1. OVERVIEW This guide is designed to help a paging system operator or dealer to consider all the requirements necessary to equip their proposed Zetron 2000 Series Paging Terminal to perform its specified functions. This guide also shows how the 2000 Series options relate to one another, and what requirements are important to be aware of when ordering these options.
PART ONE - OVERVIEW 1.2 PAGING TERMINALS A typical paging terminal has a telephone input, a paging format encoder, a transmitter output, and some method for programming pager numbers into the system. The telephone input may be in the form of one or more trunks either from the telephone company’s central office, from a PABX, or even from a single telephone station. The transmitter(s) may be either remote or co-located, and paging may occur on more than one channel at a time.
PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2. PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.1 PAGER CAPACITY 2.1.1 What is the maximum number of pagers/phone numbers you expect to support? 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 7,000 8,000 9,000 10,000 11,000 12,000 13,000 14,000 15,000 16,000 17,000 18,000 19,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 35,000 40,000 45,000 50,000 The base terminal comes with 2000 subscribers. Subscribers are available in blocks of 1,000 (-X01) or 5,000 (-X50).
PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.2.2 Alphanumeric Paging Software 2.2.2.1 Do you require alphanumeric paging software that supports large numbers of operators entering alphanumeric messages through a server PC? yes no The ZAPP! Alphanumeric Paging Program (950-9281) can support up to 24 operators whose PC workstations are connected to one server PC.
PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.2.
PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.4.3 Voice Prompt Ordering Do not order these options if any PageSaver options (as specified in section 2.3.2) have been ordered. The voice prompt options are included with PageSaver. If specified in section 2.4.1, then order the System Voice Prompts (950-9069) option. If specified in section 2.4.2, order both the System (950-9069) and Subscriber (950-9127) recorded prompts options. 2.4.4 Do you want to have a mirrored disk that backs up system and client prompts? yes no 2.
PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.5.1.2.2 If specified in section 2.4.1 or 2.4.2, determine the offered telco traffic due to voice prompts The average voice prompt takes about 7 seconds to be heard. If during your busiest hour, 25% of your subscriber base receives a single message, then the number of seconds that a trunk will be in use for voice prompts is: trunk in use time (seconds) = # subscribers (from section 2.1.1) x 7 seconds x 25% 2.5.1.2.3 If voice messaging was specified in section 2.3.
PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.5.1.3 Determine the total number of telco trunks needed to support paging none 1-2 3-4 5-6 7-8 9-10 11-12 13-14 15-16 17-18 19-20 21-22 23-24 25-26 27-28 29-30 31-32 33-34 35-36 37-38 39-40 41-42 43-44 45-46 47-48 49-50 51-52 53-54 55-56 57-58 Using the following table and the answers to questions 2.5.1.1 and 2.5.1.2.4, determine the total number of telco trunks needed for paging.
PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.5.1.4 Example You are a hospital administrator who wishes to put in a private paging system. Since your system will be used by emergency personnel, you want to insure that they receive a few busy signals as possible when they call the paging terminal. Therefore you select a 1% busy signal rate as being the most busy signals you can accept during your busiest hours of the day.
PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.5.3.
PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.5.3.3.2 Do you need to support Pulse, DTMF, MFR1, or MFR2 signaling? Pulse DTMF MFR1 MFR2 DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) type phone lines are the most common. However, MFR1 (North America) or MFR2 (International) signaling may be available in your area from the phone company. Check with your local phone company to determine which type of phone line you will be getting.
PART TWO - STANDARD FEATURES 2.6.5 Will you want to access remote transmitter sites via dial-up telephone lines instead of by conventional linking methods? yes no The DiaLink Base/Remote Unit (901-9283), when used in conjunction with the Zetron Model 66 Transmitter Control Panel (or transmitter with integrated remote control), allows the 2000 Series paging terminal to dial up remote transmitter sites.
