1.17.9 External SensorDescriptionExternal sensing devices, such as security alarms or smoke detectors, can be connected to the PBX. Whenthe PBX receives input from a sensor, a call is made to the preset destination, alerting the extension user.The available destinations of a sensor call are as follows:[Available Destinations]Destination AvailabilityWired Extension (PT/SLT/ISDN Extension/T1-OPX) üPS üIncoming Call Distribution GroupPS Ring GroupFloating Extension no. for SVMVM Group (DTMF/DPT)External Pager (TAFAS)DISAAnalogue/ISDN Remote MaintenanceIdle Line Access no. + Phone no.Trunk Group Access no. + Trunk Group no. + Phone no.Other PBX Extension (TIE with no PBX Code)Other PBX Extension (TIE with PBX Code)When the call is answered, if distinctive dial tones are enabled, dial tone 3 is heard, and continues until theuser goes on-hook.

Confirm compatibility with themanufacturer of a device before installing it.• After a sensor has been activated, the PBX will ignore any further alerts from the same sensor for theduration specified by a timer. This timer can be set separately for each sensor.• As long as the previous sensor call is still being performed, any further alerts from the same sensor areignored.• The assigned sensor name and/or number are shown on the display of PTs and PSs when a sensor callis received.• If the destination of a sensor call has set FWD, the sensor call will be redirected to the FWD destination.However, if the FWD destination is not supported as the destination of a sensor call (e.g., an outside party),the call will be received at the original destination.
