Event Monitoring Module for Nortel TDM Digital Telephones
The Algo 4100 AuxBox monitors activity of a Nortel TDM digital telephone for the purpose of event notification. Relay outputs compatible with Algo visual or audible alerters can be used to indicate telephone in-use, message waiting, ring, and page audio (see example application diagrams). In addition, relays can be customized for ACD queue status, icon display, key press, or almost any other event on the telephone.
An analog audio output from the 4100 AuxBox can be used to connect to a recording system or amplifier, and is configurable for one-way receive-only or two-way audio channel requirements. Speech encoding can also be configured for aLAW (i.e. Europe, Australia) and uLAW (i.e. US, Canada, Japan) applications.
The 4100 AuxBox includes a USB port to allow field upgrade of firmware for custom applications.
