This booklet explains the CI-600 Computer Interface in two parts: Part 1 Initial
Setting and Part 2 Application Setting. Please read this operating instructions
carefully for correct operation of your computer interface.
General Description
In conjunction with a computer and the EX-610, EX-620 or EX-630 intercom exchange, the CI-600 provides
such functions as system programming and maintenance, personal schedule information, and automatic
message distribution at preset time.
Features
1. Connectable to VT-100 mode DEC terminals.
2. Recorded message distribution during absence.
3. Display of personal IN / OUT status, location, return time, etc.
4. Password access to important functions.
5. Connectable to one master terminal and two sub-terminals.
6. Easy programming and maintenance from master terminal.

CI-600 NEW FUNCTIONS
This chapter explains the performance and operation of the new functions available when the EX-610, EX-
620 or EX-630 exchange is connected to the SI-62 speech interface, SM-600 speech message device, and CI-
600 computer interface.
1. PERSONAL DATA DISPLAY
Register the "status" of Fixed Message as we ll as the "Names", "Personal Number " and "Station Number"
of Personal Data during initial setting of the CI-600. (Refer to the section "CI-600 Initial Setting" for
registration.)
By programming the personal number, status, time / date, etc. locally from any master station such personal
information as the location, conference, and return time / date from the conference or business trip can be
automatically displayed on the data terminal or computer screen for easy reference.
To operate the new functions, use the personal number fo r those registered under the personal number
during the Cl-600's initial setting, while the station number has to be used for those registered using
the station number.

The personal information display contains " Station Number ", " Personal Number ", " Name ", " Status ",
" Location ", and " Time / Date " columns. The indications in the last three columns change whenever the
new data are entered. (Refer to page 6.)
Operation (1) :
The status column displays the status in word so programmed as to correspond to the selected number
during initial setting. When the status is set for " IN ", the station number at which the entry has been
made appears in the Location column. The column, however, shows nothing if the status is " OUT ".
Dialing
for time / date displays nothing in the Time / Date column.
Operation (2) :
This key sequence turns the Location display into the station number at which the entry has been made,
while displaying nothing in the Status and Time / Date columns.
Operation (4) :
Nothing is displayed in the Location column. Both the status and time / date indications change as the
new data are registered.
(1) When in Operation (1), such other functions using Personal Number as IN / OUT Annunciation and
Location Indication are also affected by the status setting. If, for example, the status is IN,
the indication board lamps come on, and they go out if OUT is entered.
When in Operation (2), such lamps come on, wh i l e they go out when in Operation (3).
(2) • Key operations in Operation (1) and (4) automatically registers the fixed response message, in
addition to the personal information data. When the personal number registered in Operation (1)
or the station registered in Operation (4) is called, therefore, the call is not connected to the
called party, transmitting only the fixed response message to the calling party. (Refer to the
section " Speech Message " for details.)
• The fixed response message is deleted when dialed as in Operation (2), (3) or (5).
• If the response message is recorded from the station programmed into the CI-600, the status
column display turns into asterisk
erasing the time / date column.

2. SPEECH MESSAGE
Speech Message comprises individual and fixed message files. A maximum of 128 8-second individual
messages or 96 8-second individual messages and 10 f ix e d messages can be stored.

The individual message file is recorded by users for use as a response message transmitted to the
calling parties during absence. It can also be used to leave a " call me " message when the called party
is busy or absent.
The Fixed Message file is pre-recorded at time of system installation and its content corresponds to the
type of status (message number) to be selected. When the status is registered, its corresponding message
is automatically transmitted from the called station to the calling party.
The following functions can be achieved by using these message f acilities:
User's response message as we l l as a " call me " message from the calling party can be recorded into
the user's station. (Absence Mailing Function).
A " call me " message can be recorded into the called station when the called party is busy or
absent. (Message Ma i l ing Function).
The user can retrieve the information stored in the voice mailbox from the remote station. (Remote
Message Pickup Function).

Note:
1. A message is audible following a paging pre-announcement tone from the programmed station(s) or
stations within the programmed paging zone(s) at preset time. When only one station has been
registered and its Privacy switch is set to ON, a continuous call tone is sounded at the station and
the message is audible if a handset is lifted or the Privacy switch is switched to OFF.
2. When one of the programmed stations or paging zones is busy at the preset time, the message is
distributed 30 seconds after the line is freed.
3. A maximum of four stations or paging zones can be registered for this function at a time.
Be sure to first press when re-recording from the beginning. Pressing
or replacing
the handset for re-recording registers the previous incomplete recording.

station located close to the external PA speaker or when having to increase the sound volume due to
the high ambient noise level.

5. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
By controlling or monitoring the exchange from a computer or data terminal the system maintenance and
inspection can be performed easily. (Refer to the Application section of the CI-600 Operating Instructions
for operation.)
(1) Link Control
Each individual link (speech path) can be made unusable to permit repair work without stopping the system
operation when the DL unit fails.
(2) Line Control
Each individual line can be made unusable to permit repair work without stopping the system operation
when dial related malfunctions are caused by failures of the station, line or LM unit.
(3) Speech Path Control
This function establishes the speech path that permits monitoring of operations of each link or station
at time of system installation or inspection, with no need to actually perform various tests from one
station to another.
(4) Dial Data Output Monitoring
When dial related malfunctions caused by failures of the station, line or LM unit occur, this function
allows the dial data received in each line to be monitored.
(5) Exchange Sequence Display
The most recent operations of the exchange can be checked. This function is instrumental in determining
the cause of the exchange failure.
6. REMOTE FUNCTION CONTROL
A computer or data terminal can be used for function dialing instead of the station. (Refer to the
Application section of the CI-600 Operating Instructions for operation.)
This function not only shortens lengthy station key operations, but also permits alterations of
registered data of such indications as the Location Indication without actually going to the station.
