Lines or analog PABX/KSU stations. |
|

|
Digital Phones: The SO-24 may also be installed to monitor digital
systems. This will require an extra pair of wires run to each phones. The audio must be taken from the pair of wires going to
the receiver (earpiece) for each of the stations to be observed.
|
|

|
Expanding the SO-24: A second SO-24 can be added, allowing 48 lines/stations to be monitored
from a single observing phone. Assign the first SO-24 as the low group and the second SO-24 as the high group. The two observing port
may be connected in parallel.
|
 |
OPERATION |
From the observing port, any of the 24 lines or stations can be accessed by dialing a two digit Touch Tone Code.
Stations being observed are unaware of that they are being monitored. Automatic gain control equalizes in and outbound
conversation levels. If assistance is required, the observer can quickly enter the conversation by dialing a Touch Tone "*".
An audio out jack provides a microphone level singnal for a tape recorder while the record control jack provides remote operation
of the tape recorder on command. Up to 48 lines or stations may be monitored by parallel connecting a SO-24 to the observing port and
assigning it as the high group. |
|

|
Accessing the SO-24:The SO-24 provides balanced
12v talk battery on the observing wire pair. A manager or training supervisor may access the SO-24 observing port from an unused trunk input
on any PABX/KSU or via a dedicated Touch Tone Phone. The SO-24 may also be remotely accessed through one of the Viking's Remote Access Devices.
|
|

|
Selecting a Line or Station:Once the observing port is accessed,
select any of the 24 lines or stations by dialing the two digit code assigned to that station. Nothing can be heard by the station being observed. Select another
station by dialing a "#" followed by another two digit code. You may also hang up and then re-access the observing port to dial another two-digit code.
|
|

|
Talk Assist: Though the SO-24 monitors silently, a manager may enter the
conversation to provide assistance at any time by dialing a "*".
|
|

|
Tape Recorder: A remotely controllable tape recorder may be started and stopped when
interfaced with the SO-24 using the provided cables. To start the recorder, dial a Touch Tone "9". To stop the
