Section 3: Features30 Product DescriptionAnalog Communications Interface (ACI)DescriptionThe Analog Communications Interface (ACI) feature uses a PGDAD module to provide four analogports (with associated relays) for Music on Hold, External Paging or auxiliary devices such as taperecorders and loud bells. The system allows up to 48 PGDAD modules, for a maximum of 96 ana-log ports. Each PGDAD module requires an unused port on an ESIU PCB. Music on HoldYou can connect up to four customer-provided Music on Hold music sources to a PGDADmodule. This lets you add additional music sources if the external source on the NTCPU PCBor the internal source are not adequate. By using PGDAD modules, you could even have a dif-ferent music source for each trunk.When the system switches the ACI analog port to a trunk on Hold, the PGDAD relay associ-ated with the ACI analog port closes. You can use this capability to switch on the musicsource, if desired.Extension users can dial the ACI analog port extension number and listen to the connectedmusic source. The PGDAD relay associated with the port closes when the call goes through.For Music on Hold, connect the music source to the PGDAD module. Connect the musicsource control leads to the CTL (control relay) jack. Refer to the Hardware Manual for addi-tional details. External PagingAn ACI analog port can also be an External Page output. When connected to customer-pro-vided External Paging equipment, the ACI port provides External Paging independent of theNTCPU external paging input. To use the External Paging, an extension user just dials theACI analog port extension number and makes the announcement. The system broadcasts theannouncement from the ACI analog port and simultaneously closes the associated PGDADrelay. You can use the relay closure to control the External Paging amplifier, if required.This external paging zone is not included in external all call paging or combination paging(internal and external).For External Paging, connect the Paging amplifier to the PGDAD jack. Connect the amplifiercontrol leads to the CTL (control relay) jack. Refer to the Hardware Manual for additional details. Auxiliary Device ControlThe PGDAD module can control a customer-provided tape recorder. When an extension userdials the ACI analog port extension number, they can automatically start the recorder and acti-vate the record function. When the user hangs up, the recording stops and the tape recorderturns off. For tape recording, connect the tape recorder AUX input jack to the PGDAD jack.Connect the recorder control leads (if available) to the CTL (control relay) jack. Refer to theHardware Manual for additional details.Aspire• Available - 96 ACI software ports (48 PGDAD modules max. when used for ACI ports) and 16 ACI Department Groups.
