AastraLink Pro 160 Administrator Guide

The AastraLink includes two optional, programmable features - Push Button 
Trigger Input and Relay Output - that allow you monitor and/or change the status 
of external devices connected to the AastraLink. Both features work in 
conjunction with your IP phones, as described below:

•

Push Button Trigger Input: To enable the trigger feature, you connect an 
external device (for example, a motion-detector alarm system) to the input 
connectors on the back of the AastraLink. When triggered (for example, 
motion is detected in an alarmed corridor), the AastraLink can respond by 
sending a text message, and/or an audio message, to the IP phone that you 
specify. 

There is no default action configured for Push Button Trigger. If you wish, you can 

configure a custom text message, and a custom audio message, using the AastraLink Web UI. For 
example, you may want to send a text or audio message that says “Motion Sensors Activated” to 
your IP phone. 

Relay Output: To enable the relay feature, you connect an external device 
(for example, a locked entrance door) to the relay I/O port on the back of the 
AastraLink. You activate the relay - that is, change the status of the external 
device - by pressing a Relay softkey on your IP phone, or by dialing a 
preconfigured number. In this example, the relay unlocks the entrance door.
