Audio Program (ICX-AlphaCom)

Selecting a Program

The AlphaCom system is prepared for distribution of audio programs. There must be an external audio source as input to each program, a radio, a cassette player, a CD-player or other sound input.

A number of audio programs are available, depending on the system configuration. By default 6 programs are available. Using the additional Program Distribution Boards (AGA) gives the possibility to distribute another 16 programs. Two such boards can be installed in the exchange, so the maximum number of available programs in the system is 38.

To select a program, dial the program number (default 801 - 806, 8101 - 8132). The program is temporarily disconnected by outgoing and incoming calls, but remains on during Group Calls and All Calls.

When you lift the handset, the dialing tone is normally heard, replacing any program. If you wish to listen to the program with the handset off, simply hold the M-key down while you lift the receiver, and the dialing tone is not turned on.

Additional Information

• Each Program Distribution Board installed reduces the maximum number of subscribers in the system by 6.
• APF boards were earlier used for program distribution. They have been replaced by AGA boards.
• Priority Programs are not turned off during calls. (programmable per program).
• It is possible to distribute an AlphaCom conference as a program.

To switch off a program, press the C-key or dial 800.
