Audio and visual paging

Audio and visual paging

Avaya’s overhead voice paging equipment allows telephone users to make announcements by speaking into a telephone handset. DEFINITY ONE supports as many as 9 paging zones, and 1 zone can be set up to activate every zone at the same time. A zone is the location of the loudspeakers: for example, conference rooms, warehouses, or storerooms.

Visual paging includes indoor LED message display signboards, wireless keyboards for sign programming, connector kits for integrating with the PagePac Plus equipment, and optional software for “ad-hoc” visual message programming.

Alerts and sensors

Avaya provides a complete product line of alerts and sensors for your business. With alert devices, you can select the type of sound for incoming calls, such as bell, horn, or chime sounds. Or, you can use visual signals such as flashing lights to indicate a ringing call, a voice mailbox message, or a voice paging message.

Sensors detect and analyze central office ringing signals to determine if the signal is a standard voice, data, or fax call. Once it determines the type of signal, the sensor device routes the call to the appropriate end point.

External speakerphones

External speakerphones provide total telephone operation without using a handset. Turning on a speakerphone is equivalent to lifting a handset when placing or answering a call. Turning off the speakerphone is equivalent to hanging up the handset. Although the majority of Avaya phones have built-in speakerphones, external speakerphones are preferred for applications such as conference calls.

Security devices

Avaya provides the following security devices:

Access Security Gateway (ASG)

The Access Security Gateway (ASG) is a built-in authentication feature that offers a more secure alternative to static login passwords for remote access to DEFINITY ONE. Using an encryption algorithm, the Access Security Gateway uses session-based challenge and response technology to limit access to the DEFINITY ONE system’s remote maintenance and administration port, system administration terminal, and NET CON channels. See DEFINITY ONE Communications System Release 2.0 Installation and Upgrades (555-233-109) for information on how to administer this feature.
