Loudspeaker paging systems allow you to broadcast messages over a
large area, by connecting the paging system to a line jack on a system
module. The system supports most AT&T paging systems.
Music-on-Hold systems allow you to play recorded music or messages
to callers while they are on hold. (Alternatively, the system supports a
Tones on Hold feature. For more information, see “Music/Tones On Hold”
in Chapter 5.)
Extra alerts are strobes, lights, chimes, horns, or bells that light or ring to
make you aware of incoming calls. They can connect to either an
extension jack or a line jack. AT&T offers several compatible alerts.
Doorphones allow visitors to ring a specific extension (or all system
extensions) by pressing a button on the doorphone; the person who
answers a doorphone call can then speak with the visitor at the
doorphone. The system supports the AT&T PARTNER Doorphone, which
can be installed indoors or outdoors.
In-Range Out-of-Building (IROB) protectors are required to prevent
electrical surges from damaging your system when phones or other
standard devices (such as a doorphone) are installed in a location other
than the building where the system modules are installed. The system
supports the AT&T IROB protector, which provides coverage for up to
1,000 feet (305 meters) for system phones and 3,000 feet (915 meters) for
standard phones. (IROBS must be installed by a qualified technician.)
Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE) allows you to connect a standard
touch-tone phone beyond 3000 feet (915 meters) in another building on
the same continuous property. It also allows you to use a special circuit
from your local phone company to provide off-premises station capability.
Repertory dialers allow you to store frequently used numbers for
one-touch dialing. If a user needs many speed dial numbers, a repertory
dialer can be combined on an extension with a system or standard phone.
Headsets allow users to hold hands-free conversations. A headset is a
combination earphone and microphone worn on the head, useful for
receptionists, salespeople, or others who may want to have their hands
free while talking on the phone.
Specialty handsets are designed for those individuals who need greater
functionality than that provided by the handsets on system phones and
standard phones. For example, an amplified handset is available for
certain system phones for hard-of-hearing users.
These devices can be ordered through AT&T—see “Product Ordering
Information” in Appendix D. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions packaged
with the device for installation and usage information. In addition, Appendix C
provides general guidelines for installation.
