Hotline System with Normal Phones
Ring-down hotline for up to 4 desk phones on one pair
Direct lines with no dialling, from control rooms to the posts that need an answer now. Three SMART hotlines cover one pair of copper, PA paging on pick-up, and single-mode fibre between sites.
Pick the link: HT-I for up to 4 desktop phones on one pair, HT-A when the far end should page over a loudspeaker, HT-IP when the sites are linked by fibre.
Phones connect to a SMART controller on a single pair of non-critical telephone cable; HT-A supports loops up to 1 km.
Lift a handset: HT-I and HT-IP ring the other end until it is answered; HT-A puts the other unit straight into paging on its loudspeaker.
The answering handset makes the call private and full duplex.
Replace the handsets and the line resets. HT-I and HT-A controllers carry built-in battery backup for power failures.
