Dynacord DPM 4000 manual Priorities, DPC 4350 Paging Station Extension, Combination

DEVICE DESCRIPTIONS

5.2.9 Priorities

The PROANNOUNCE system allows setting 10 priority levels (highest priority = 10, lowest priority = 1) that include announcements, as well as alarm and gong signals, and vocal message reproduction. A higher prioritized event principally interrupts any other event with a lower priority setting. For events with equal priority the earlier launched signal is continued; has priority over the latter.

Priority level	Assigned		Description
10	Directing station	Highest priority; can ignite any type of events and interrupt
			all other signals.
7 - 9	Alarm signal	Can only be interrupted from the directing station; but
			interrupts all other signals that have not been launched from
			the directing terminal.
6 - 7	Gong signal		Interrupts all signals that are not coming from the directing
	(manual / time-controlled)		terminal. Time-controlled gong signals can be delayed/pre-
			delayed by a pre-defined period of time.
2 - 8	Recorded message	These priorities can be freely assigned to text messages
			during the configuration procedure.
2 - 6	Message from a paging		These priorities can be freely assigned to any ‘normal’
	console without / with pre-		paging console. A pre-gong signal has the priority of the
	gong signal		launching microphone terminal.
1	Program		Background music always has the lowest priority level.

5.2.10 DPC 4350 Paging Station Extension

The DPC 4350 paging station extension provides selection keys only. It is employed whenever a higher amount than 50 lines need to be accessed or when an installation’s requirement of group and special function keys exceeds the existing amount of selection keys. The DPC 4350 can be easily combined with any other paging station model. The following list shows the amounts of maximally accessible lines for various combinations:

Combination	Maximum amount of lines
DPC 4106 + DPC 4350	50
DPC 4510 + DPC 4350	60
DPC 4520 + DPC 4350	70
DPC 4530 + DPC 4350	80
DPC 4550 + DPC 4350	100

The extension unit is directly connected to the extension interface of the main paging station using the supplied 8- pole RJ-45 cable and plugging it into the EXT-socket. A single paging station then consists of two devices that report to a common address. Therefore the central unit recognizes them as one single microphone terminal with an increased amount of selection keys. Also from the viewpoint of the user the two devices act as only one paging station; i.e. the selection keys of the main and the slave paging station provide equal access to their assigned areas, groups and special functions.

Note: During the configuration of the system using the PROANNOUNCE Designer software, it is important that the main paging station’s EXT-socket is configured for the connection of a DPC 4350 extension.

The extension unit can only be operated together with DPC 45.. or DPC 40.. Series paging console models!
