SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING Software Programming Quick Programming Guide Programming the HON-AOR-CS Analog Call Station is relatively quick and easy. While it is recommended that you read the complete manual before you begin, the following quick guide will serve many applications. After each HON-AOR-CS Analog Call Station programming code, a double-beep indicates the code has been accepted.
SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING Accessing Programming Mode The HON-AOR-CS Analog Call Station can be programmed from either a telephone test set, such as a Fluke TS30 Series or a basic corded trimline telephone, or a remote telephone call through a PSTN/POTS telephone line connected to the Command Unit. It is essential to program at least one telephone number for the HON-AOR-CS Analog Call Station to operate.
SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING 2. Without Using the Security Code: 1. Mode Configuration DIP Switch #2 is configured at the factory to be in the ON position—this configures the call station to answer incoming calls. Move to the ON position if that is not the case. 2.
