5.2.7 Paging Console Configuration In Setup Mode

Configuring paging consoles is preferably performed on the central unit via computer and using the PROANNOUNCE Designer software. This represents the most convenient way without any limitation, while a paging terminal itself offers only limited programming ability.

Several key functions differ between setup-mode and operation mode. Alternate functions are marked on the right top corner of the individual key area.

Pressing PROGRAM key and STOP key simultaneously for at least 1 second – the PROGRAM LED starts blinking – engages a paging station’s setup-mode.

Note: Paging stations where program-assignment has been activated indicate the program assignment-pattern for a short period of time.

Using the ‘<‘ and ‘>‘ keys lets you step through the setup menu items in forward and backward direction (parameter selection). Parameter number and name are shown on the display.

The following table shows an overview of parameters and their meaning:

The ‘￿‘ and ‘￿‘ keys activate / deactivate corresponding parameters or increment / decrement according parameter values. For directly entering numerical parameters, use selection keys 1 to 10, where the 10-key represents the “0”.

Pressing the ESC key returns to ‘normal’ operation. The setup-mode is also automatically canceled when for approximately 15 seconds no entry or change has been made. All parameters are automatically stored.

1Address

Paging consoles accept the assignment of addresses between 1 and 16. The setting is generally performed using the numerical keys 1 to 10, where the 10-key represents the “0”. For paging stations without selection keys, the address has to be set using the ‘￿‘ und ‘￿‘ keys.

CAUTION: When shipped all paging station addresses are set to OFF (no address). Therefore it is important to assign a correct address to a microphone terminal, before the first operation. Within an installation terminal addresses have to be assigned exclusively; a specific address can exist only once!

When applying operation voltage for the first time, paging consoles start up in entry mode right away.
