Operation - Viking X-1605 Series Product Manual

A. Making a Call
When the Call button is pressed, the X-1605 dials the first number in its list. If the call fails (busy, rejected or other SIP
call failure) and redial on busy is enabled, the next number will be dialed. If redial on busy is disabled, the X-1605 will
hang up and go into its idle state.
Outbound calls will ring until the ring timeout is met, or the call is answered.
When the call is answered, two-way voice is established, and video is sent to the called device. The call timer starts.
The called device can enter the relay commands if door strike mode is enabled. Door strike code starts a momentary
relay closure, and the latching commands (on code/off code) will latch the relay. The call can be ended with the call
button, or remotely with a call ended signal. If neither of these happen, the call timer ends the call when its value is met.
B. Incoming Calls
The X-1605 will handle incoming calls based on the settings below.
Setting Description
The X-1605 will automatically answer inbound calls when Auto Answer is set to
Auto Answer
enabled. Two-way voice is established, and the X-1605 sends video to the caller. If
the Access Code is set, it must be entered before any relay commands are accepted.
The X-1605 will emit a ring from its speaker when its extension is dialed. The call can
Loud Ring
be answered by pressing the Call button. The volume of this ringing is controlled with
the Loud Ring Volume.
If both Auto Answer and Loud Ringing are set to disabled, the X-1605 will not accept

incoming calls. This is useful for applications where only outbound calls will be
allowed. If inbound calls are not required, disable these for more security.
