4.0.Fonctionnement de PageMatrix

4.1.Généralités

4.1.1.Composants

Les syst•mes PageMatrix / MediaMatrix sont constituŽs de cinq composants principaux :

Au moins un poste de tŽlŽappel PageMatrix reliŽ au contr™leur par un c‰ble de catŽgorie cinq adŽquat

Un contr™leur PageMatrix dans lequel le fichier de configuration appropriŽ est chargŽ

Le logiciel dÕapplication PageMatrix

Un syst•me audio MediaMatrix pilotŽ par PASHA

Un fichier PASHA.ini configurŽ pour le Òfichier de visualisationÓ Žtabli

4.1.2.Connexions

Les postes de tŽlŽappel sont reliŽs au contr™leur PageMatrix par c‰ble CAT 5. Ce c‰ble est porteur de trois ÒsignauxÓ: le signal audio analogique du microphone, la tension requise pour lÕalimentation du poste de tŽlŽappel ˆ distance, et le signal des donnŽes de contr™le en sŽrie qui dŽterminent o• le signal du microphone est acheminŽ par le MediaMatrix.

Les sorties de signal analogique de microphone de tous les postes de tŽlŽappel, ˆ lÕarri•re du contr™leur PageMatrix, sont individuellement reliŽes aux entrŽes des bo”tes de distribution MediaMatrix.

LÕune des sorties sŽrie ˆ lÕarri•re du contr™leur PageMatrix est reliŽe ˆ lÕun des ports de communications ˆ lÕarri•re du ch‰ssis MediaMatrix.

4.1.3.Postes de tŽlŽappel de bureau (mod•les Station Four et Station Ten)

Il nÕy a pas de commutation locale des microphones branchŽs sur les postes de tŽlŽappel. Quel que soit le mod•le, le microphone est activŽ en permanence. Les touches de postes commandent uniquement la communication sŽrie du contr™leur PageMatrix.

4.1.4.Contr™leur PageMatrix

Cet appareil remplit trois fonctions:

1: Il fournit lÕalimentation des postes de tŽlŽappel.
