Dual-Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) Signaling

You can connect external paging systems that use dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) signaling, such as PagePac Plus with Zone Expansion Unit paging systems, to an LS or GS line/trunk jack programmed for paging operation, including bidirectional paging operation (talk-back). PagePac Plus does not require an adapter.

Zone paging systems, such as the PagePac series, require one LS or

GS jack. You can use any zone once the paging jack is activated.

You must use a Universal Paging Access Module (UPAM), or PagePal (for PagePac series systems other than PagePac Plus) to connect a paging system that requires contact closure, an impedance-matching transformer, or both.

Use a Loop Start Trunk Adapter when a customer-supplied paging system does not require contact closure.
