Congratulations on wisely choosing the PageMatrixª system for your current and future paging projects. Used in conjunction with our highly-acclaimed MediaMatrix¨ digital audio system, PageMatrix provides an integrated and flexible approach to all serious paging applications.

MediaMatrix serves as the central processing unit for an entire project, controlling the entire system from signal routing to managing the paging system. The PageMatrix system provides multiple paging stations that are easily configured to just about any page/zone requirement. Plus, these paging stations are portable, meaning that the wall plug/port contains the identity of the paging station connected to it.

The PageMatrix hardware components include the 2-rack space PageMatrix Controller and three types of paging stations. The PageMatrix controller supports up to 16 paging stations in any combination and connects to MediaMatrix Break Out Boxes (BoBs) for audio and to the MediaMatrix frameÕs RS-232 serial port for control data. Three paging stations are available including the Station Four-WªWall Mount, Station Fourª Desktop, and Station Tenª Desktop.

The software components include:

PageMatrix Software

MediaMatrix view files

MediaMatrix PASHAª paging files (corresponds to the appropriate view file)

The PageMatrix application provides a graphical way to program the zone preset buttons of each attached station. Once the configuration is finalized, it is simply downloaded to the PageMatrix Controller for operation. It is not necessary to access the PageMatrix application again until the time comes to update the configuration.
