Hookswitch

The handset hook-switch is connected between input 3 (Key 3 and Common) on terminal block P4 on the IP Station Board. An event must be created that reports correct handset status to the AlphaCom. In Users & Stations, select the Events button, press Insert and enter an event with the following properties:

When input 3 is activated on station 144, the off-hook and on-hook status is reported to the AlphaCom

The action string is: %chg($HOFF %1.ref,$HON %1.ref)

Hotline Call

Enable the hotline function by selecting the hotline station in the listbox in Users & Stations, select the Station Type tab, and check the Hotline flagg:

Enable the Hotline Call flag

In Users & Stations, select the DAK button, and enter the call destination on DAK 7:

Call station 321 when lifting the handset

If the hotline call should generate a Call Request instead, enter "I 623 I xxx" on DAK 7, where xxx is the target station. If the Call Request should be cleared when replacing the handset, enter "I626 I xxx" on DAK 8, else leave DAK 8 blank.

Send Call Request to station 101 when lifting the handset, delete the Call request when replacing the handset

Hotline Call Delay

By default there is a 5.0 second delay from the handset is lifted until the call is placed. Often you want the call to be placed immediately. To change the delay time, select Exchange & System, System, Calls and Options.

Default hotline delay is 5.0 sec. Change from 50 to 0 for immediate call

Direct Access Keys D1 to D3

The Full Keypad models have three Direct Access Keys, D1 to D3, which will trigger DAK key 1 to DAK key 3 in the AlphaCom.

However, the hook switch connected to input 3 will also trigger DAK Key 3. Due to this conflict, button D3 cannot normally not be used.

The built-in relay in the IP Heavy Duty telephone can be used to operate an additional call indication device, such as a rotary light.

Configuration

The built-in relay in the IP Heavy Duty telephone is controlled by the RCO command in the event handler.
To map the relay of the IP Station to a logical RCO, select Exchange & System -> RCO. Pick a free RCO, select Change and set the RCO Type = Station, enter the physical number of the IP Station, and set pin number = 1.

The relay of IP Station 144 is mapped to RCO 10.

In Users & Stations, select the IP Heavy Duty telephone from the list box, then press Events, and Insert a new event with the following properties. This will cause the relay to operate during the ringing of an incoming call.

When station 144 receives a call in private ringing mode, RCO 10 will be operated. This will again operate the relay and the rotary light.

External loudspeaker (optional)

Connection of external 8 ohm loudspeaker

If ringing signal and group calls are to be received, an external 8 ohm loudspeaker must be connected. The loudspeaker is connected to pin 1 and 2 (LS) on connector P3. To mute the external loudspeaker when the handset is lifted, the flag Override Amplifier must be enabled in Advanced AlphaCom > Audio in the web interface of the station.

Mute loudspeaker when off-hook

The internal ringer device is not in use. The reason is that the housing of the IP telephones are also used in analog versions of the telephone, connected to regular 2-wire telephones lines. Then the ringer is operated by the ringing voltage from the telephone exchange. Although the ringer device is not in use in the IP Heavy Duty station, it has not been removed as it would jeopardize the IP rating of the station.
