Connecting the Bridged Console
Installers can bridge DSS/BLF console models IB24X and IB48X to model 8324F, 8324S, 8312S, and
8212S Impact telephones. When they connect a DSS/BLF console to the bridged console port of these
telephones, they are actually connecting the console to the same physical station port as the telephone
is connected. Taking this action adds a console to the system without dedicating a physical station port
for its installation. The controlling software allows up to 48 of the IB24X or IB48X consoles to a
system.
In the bridged mode, the console requires external power applied by an AC wall transformer assembly.
An exception to this requirement is at installations that also have the IMIST device installed in the host
telephone’s adjustable pedestal. With those installations, the AC wall transformer assembly for the
IMIST device also supplies power for the bridged console through wiring internal to the telephone.
The AC wall transformer assembly for the bridged console arrangement will also supply power for the
IMIST device. If installers connect both devices to a telephone, they must use the IMIST’s AC wall
transformer assembly to power both features and not connect any external power to the console.
