2.2 AUDIO OUTPUTS
The BVRDTSM is equipped with 2 Audio Outputs OP1 and OP2.
OP1 is used for Live paging broadcasts. 
OP2 can be configured for AUX Output (broadcast of
microphone stored non-emergency messages or routing of local
background music connection)
See Hardware Configuration section for more details on how to
change the Audio Output Configuration.
In order to simplify cabling requirements by default the
BVRDTSM also carries the AUX Output on OP1. This means
that the microphone can be installed using a single CAT6A cable.
If a Hard Wired Bypass is fitted to the microphone (factory fit
option) then the AUX Output is not available on OP1 so therefore
OP2 must also be connected.
Please see the following sections for details of site connections
and hardware configuration for all Audio Output options.
2.3 CONFIGURATION OPTION - LIVE PAGE
& AUX
2.3.1 Description
This is the default configuration of a BVRDTSM and enables;
• Live Paging and Emergency Paging Broadcasts
• Broadcasting of microphone stored non-emergency messages
