Accessing The Programming Mode - Viking PA-250 Product Manual

A. Accessing the Programming Mode
The PA-250 can be programmed directly from a touch tone phone or butt-set, or from a touch tone phone using a CO
line, PABX analog station (FXS Port), PABX analog trunk input (FXO Port), or a Viking DLE-200B Line Simulator. Since
phone system Paging Ports may not support touch tones, and also may not provide audio in both directions,
programming the PA-250 from a Paging Port is not recommended. For more information on the DLE-200B, see DOD 605.
1. Using the Security Code
From a touch tone phone, access the PA-250 paging input in either the FXO mode (as shown on
Step 1
page 3) or FXS mode (as shown on page 4).
When the page is made, enter a touch tone "Q" (which will be heard through the paging speakers)
Step 2 then the 6-digit security code (factory set to 845464, see Progamming section B). A double beep
should be heard indicating you have entered the programming mode.
2. Without the Security Code
With the PA-250 in an idle state, momentarily press the PROG button on the back of the unit using
Step 1
a small object such as a paperclip.
Two beeps can be heard through the paging speakers and the front panel PAGE LED will flash for
Step 2
20 seconds.
During this 20 seconds of time, from a touch tone phone, access the PA-250 paging input in either
Step 3
the FXO mode (as shown on page 3) or FXS mode (as shown on page 4).
Step 4 A double beep should be heard in the phone indicating you have entered the programming mode.
B. Security Code (Memory Location #47)
The security code allows the user/installer to program the PA-250. The factory set security code is 845464 (V-I-K-I-N-G).
It is recommended that the factory set security code be changed.
Example: To store 123456 as the security code:
NOTE: The security code must be 6 digits and cannot include a "Q or a "#".
