Has anyone installed a magix and used valcom 1020C speakers (self amperfied)? If so did you use a u-pam or wire straight to trunk port? Customer now had a definity system and they are using valcom speakers for the page system. Need to know if they will work with the magix before customer sign contract for the magix system.

Thanks for any help

Wire straight to port.

I have to admit, this is the first one I have heard of going from a Definity to Magix and not the other way around.

Thanks for the post

Z-man,
Have you ever heard of a customer with a dimenion 400 going to a merlin 820 and sending 2 ext as opx to a merlin 410 (5 miles away) as co lines?? I have done that before too.
The customer with the definity; bought the building with the definity in it; it was used more as a key system, so when the audix bit the dust he decided to put in a magix.

gkar,
When you wire straight from the speakers to the co port; did you leave it as a loop trunk or program it for loudspeaker paging?

I worked on a dimension once. The guy we had that worked on them was on vacation, so I was next in line. To say I was a little lost is like calling the Rockies hills.

As far as your paging, wire it directly into the trunk port. Assign the trunk port as a loudspeaker port on the Magix. You can access it by programming a pickup key or assigning the line to telehphone. When you assign the line, it will show up as loudspeaker page when inspected.

Yup, thats what you do... We do a lot of Definity to Magixs. Lease returns rewritten if the company downsizes or over spent in the fat years. We tie Merlins and Partners together with analog stations to CO ports OPX. Also did a Legend with copper DID's to a FXO channel-bank ptp voice/data T-1 to another channel-bank to NEC because the customer did not want to buy T-1 cards and a old local provider left the channel banks with built in DSU's(use to provide internet and DID's)

Thanks guys for the information, you confirmed what I was thinking. I was told by valcom that I would need to purchase a port controller to go between the co port and the amplifer speakers and not to program it as a paging port.
