Synapse Installation Guide

Overhead Paging Overview

You can set up either single or multi-zone external overhead paging (OHP), as shown in Table 2, but only one OHP system can

be connected to the ATA. You can also use a loud ringer device, either on its own or with your existing OHP paging system, if

supported. For more information, see “Loud Ringers” on page 31.

Synapse supports most OHP systems that can connect to PBX Analog Station (FXS) ports as well as those that support direct

Audio Input detection, also known as VOX Detect. If you already have an OHP, you need to figure out the necessary configuration

before installation and setup. This introduction may help you figure out your system. If not, refer to your OHP system's product

documentation for installation and configuration instructions or contact your OHP equipment provider.

Table 2. [ATA] Single- vs. Multi-Zone Overhead Paging Systems

Single-Zone Paging Multi-Zone Paging

Broadcasts to all overhead speakers at once. Broadcasts to speakers grouped into separate zones.

Can be included in a Synapse Paging Zone. See “Paging

Zones” on page 126.

Cannot be included in a Synapse Paging Zone because the

multi-zone OHP cannot be paged together with Desksets.

Does not appear in the Deskset Paging Zones menu unless

you add Single-Zone paging to a paging zone you create.

Automatically appears in the Deskset Paging Zones menu as

Overhead Paging.

Requires no additional user input to initiate a page. Requires using the Deskset dial pad to enter digits to address

the OHP paging zone.

For a connection through a FXS port, requires you to set a

delay determined by trial and error. This delay, which starts

after the user presses , gives the paging equipment

time to prepare to broadcast the message. It is required for

every page, even if the OHP is not the chosen paging zone.

See “Single-Zone Overhead Paging Delay” on page 124.

There is no programmed delay as the paging equipment

provides feedback to the user when to start speaking.

Can be connected to an FXS port or the AUX Out jack. Must be connected to the FXS port.
