DE2910479A1 - Paging system for PABX - minimises equipment needed to connect paged person to outside call by using broadcast circuit - Google Patents

Abstract

A caller on an outside line to a p.a.b.x. is connected to the operator. If the called person is not available on his extension, the operator holds the incoming call and dials a "broadcast" code. This connects her directly to a "broadcast" circuit and she makes an announcement over a loudspeaker. The called person can use any extension to answer the broadcast and, by dialling a "broadcast reply code, he is connected directly to the "broadcast" circuit. The operator can then put him through to the outside caller. The advantage of this system is that an additional selector is not occupied while such a call is in progress.

Description

Procedure for a person additional facility in telephony c

systems, especially remote computer extension systems.

The invention relates to a method for a person search device in telephone systems, in particular telephone branch exchanges, with switchboards, whereby, by dialing a search code, a wanted person is requested to call back Reporting prompting means are switched on and by dialing a reporting code made such a callback at any intercom of the telephone system can be.

It is already a circuit arrangement for such a person search device known, with the help of a Sucb code and a reporting code one of several Search transmissions (search connection sets) is controlled.

Has a subscriber searched for by an attendant console the search transmission is activated (after selecting the search code), then he can go through the operator console, for example, to the connection record of a waiting subscriber be activated.

The object of the invention is to create a method with the help of this through the attendant console the connection of a sought and found subscriber to a waiting person connected to the operator console Subscriber can be switched through, including only one carried out in the usual way Connection kit is necessary.

This is achieved according to the method according to the invention in that when dialing the search code at the operator console, the associated subscriber circuit and the automatically assigned connection set is activated and a special one for it the reporting request means via a reporting subscriber circuit and switching on the latter assignable switching search subscriber circuit is assigned that continues after dialing the reporting code at any intercom station with the search subscriber circuit connected reporting subscriber circuit is occupied, after which the to assign the reporting subscriber circuit required connection set is activated.

This has the advantage that during the participant search and only a single connection set during the subsequent conversation is occupied.

This is especially useful for small systems with only a few connection sets really important.

The method according to the invention is shown figuratively on the basis of a Embodiment explained. The figure shown only includes the one for understanding details of a person search facility necessary for the procedure. she consists from a switching network KF, an exchange VPL, the subscriber circuits TAl, TAx, TAvp, TAs (search subscriber circuit), TAm (reporting subscriber circuit), the Participants TLN (1) and TLK (x), the Loudspeaker L, the house broadcasts HUe1 and HUe2 and an official transfer AUe.

It should be assumed that, for example, an office subscriber via the exchange line AL and the exchange transmission AUe (connection set) with the operator console VPL is connected and from this to a specific subscriber in the system (e.g. TLN (1)) should be connected. For this purpose, the calling subscriber is on hold brought and the operator at the operator will try to find the one you want To reach participants in consultation. Assume that the wanted participant is not available at his subscriber station, then must from the operator a search can be initiated. For this purpose the landlady has her Handset removed and thus the subscriber circuit assigned to the operator station TAvp and, for example, a house transmission HUe1 occupied.

If the operator now selects the search number, then the Switchboard a so-called search subscriber circuit TAs switched on directly and the subscriber circuit TAvp assigned to the operator station and the automatic Occupied connection sets are activated.

If the search subscriber switching TAs is occupied, then this switches a reporting subscriber circuit TAm that is galvanically connected to it, can be assigned and simultaneously is through the search subscriber circuit TAs via the reporting subscriber circuit TAm a report prompting means e.g.

a loudspeaker L switched on. The operator at the operator station can now for example use the loudspeaker L to report the wanted participant request.

If the wanted participant receives the request to report, he can from any telephone station of the Plant e.g. TLn (x) den Call the operator. By picking up the handset at the subscriber station TLN (x) it first occupies the subscriber circuit assigned to this subscriber station TAx and a house transfer, for example, HUe2. If he then dials the reporting code, then he is with the help of the house transmission HUe2 over the switching network with the reporting subscriber circuit TAm connected.

After this connection, the house transmission HUe2 is activated and the message prompting means shut down.

Now the subscriber you are looking for is directly via his subscriber circuit TAx, the reporting subscriber circuit TAm and the search subscriber circuit TAs with connected to the attendant console. The operator console VPL can now be used in well-known Assign the wanted and found subscriber to the occupied trunk transfer AUe and thus intrude on the waiting participant.

From the foregoing it follows that in the entire connecting path only a single connection set (AUe) executed in the usual way is included. A complex search transmission as an additional connection effort can be dispensed with.

Before the requested subscriber is switched to the transfer of office AUe finds an identification and an authorization rating of the wanted participant instead to determine, among other things, whether the call station is from which one the subscriber you are looking for calls to an authorized or partial official Intercom station acts, since only in this case a connection may take place.
