Operation - Viking PA-IP Product Manual

A. Inbound SIP Calls
How inbound SIP calls are handled depends on the Inbound Call Mode selected (see Programming section 23), the
current programming for Night Ring Timed Operation if enabled (see Programming section 38), the current time of day
and day of week. If Night Ring Timed Operation is disabled and the Inbound Call Mode is set to Auto Answer, the
PA-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-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 19).
The Night Ring feature can also be enabled by providing a contact closure across the trigger input screw terminals. If
Night Ring Timed Operation is enabled and an inbound SIP call is received between the programmed start and stop
times and the current day is a programmed active day, the unit will automatically output a loud ring instead of following
the Inbound Call Mode programming. This allows for loud ring at certain times of the day/days of the week and paging
all other times/days of the week.
B. Multicast
The PA-IP can be set to one of two modes for multcasting, Standard or Polycom. Polycom is only used when Polycom
IP phones are used. To change to Polycom multicast, go to the "Adapter Settings" tab and change the "Multicast Page
Type" to Polycom.
Standard Multicast Paging (Factory Setting)
Up to 10 multicast paging groups can be programmed into each unit and each group is assigned a priority level allowing
simultaneous arriving multicast pages to be handled based on importance. Low priority groups are often used for low
priority streams like background music and high priority groups are used for high priority streams such as emergency
messages. Group 0 is the highest priority, and Group 9 is the lowest. A timeout limit can be set and either enabled or
disabled for each multicast group. The volume of each group can be programmed and SIP calls can be assigned either
higher or lower priority than all or some of the multicast groups (see Programming section 10).
Polycom Multicast Paging
Polycom phones send multicast audio to a specific IP address and port. A total of 25 groups can be used and groups
1 through 24 can individually be enabled/disabled in each PA-IP. Group 25 is always enabled, as group 25 is generally
used for emergency broadcasts. Any multicast page made from a Polycom phone (on the same LAN) to the
programmed IP address, port and to an enabled group will play through the PA-IP's speaker and line outputs. The
priority of Polycom sources ranges from group 1 (lowest) to group 25 (highest). SIP pages can be assigned either
higher or lower priority than Polycom group 1 through 24 multicast paging (see the table in programming section 10 for
Polycom paging priorities). Multicast page timeout can be enabled/disabled globally for groups 1 through 24 (there is
no timeout for group 25) and the length of the Multicast page timeout is adjustable. The volume for Polycom multicast
is set globally for all groups.
C. Operation Commands (Relay Mode must be set to "Door Strike")
The following commands can be entered after an inbound SIP call to the PA-IP, when the Inbound Call Mode is set to
auto answer. After the unit auto answers the call, one beep will be heard if Pre Page Alert Tone is enabled. If the
Access Code has been disabled, you can now enter the Operation Commands listed below. If an Access Code has
been programmed, enter the Access Code digits. Once the correct code has been entered, two beeps will be heard
and you can now enter the Operation Commands listed below.
