Add High Power Paging, Loud Ringing, and Background Music
to SIP Based VoIP Phone Systems or Service Providers
The Viking model PA-250-IP SIP/Multicast Paging Amplifier provides up to
250 Watts of loud paging for SIP based VoIP phone systems (hardware or
hosted/cloud based service provider). The PA-250-IP can be used for
standard SIP endpoint paging or multicast paging.
The PA-250-IP can drive up to two hundred fifty (250) 70V speakers and/or
paging horns (each speaker set to "1 Watt tap"). The small 1U rack size
chassis is possible because the PA-250-IP uses new amplifier technology
that is 3 times more efficient than old designs competitors use. The high
efficiency of the PA-250-IP means much less heat dissipation, smaller size,
higher reliability, and lower cost.
There are many advantages of using a 70V distributed audio paging system,
such as being able to put more speakers on a wire run, having longer
speaker wire runs, using smaller gauge wire, and being able to set the
volume of each speaker independently.

    Night Ring timing window, the Inbound Call Mode setting will determine how SIP calls are handled. The Night Ring feature can also be enabled by providing a contact closure to the trigger input on the PA-250-IP. All inbound SIP calls will cause the PA-250-IP to loud ring when the trigger input is shorted.
  • Page 20: Alc Adjustment

    250-IP will automatically answer inbound calls, provides a Pre Page Alert Tone if enabled and allows paging. When the Inbound Call Mode is set to Auto Answer – Secure, the PA-250-IP auto answers inbound calls but the party must dial the Access Code before they are allowed to page. The Inbound Call Mode also has a Ring option that allows the unit to output a loud ring on any inbound SIP calls and the volume of the ring is adjustable (see Programming section 15).

    The front panel MASTER VOLUME control adjusts the volume coming from all inputs. The PA-250-IP has an integrated Peak Limiter feature that reduces the audio signal peaks by 4dB. Since audio signals are highly dynamic in nature, this feature allows the average volume level of pages to be 4dB louder than normal before clipping distortion occurs.
