A. Quick Programming and Set-Up Guide
In order to program your Emergency Phone System, you must program your
EC-8 Consolidator AND your Emergency Phones. While it is recommended
that you read the complete instructions below before you begin, the following
quick guide will serve most applications.
1. Connect a phone line or analog PBX extension to the port labled TELCO
LINE IN, or connect a standard telephone to the port labeled LOCAL
PHONE (or both). NOTE: Do not plug a phone line into the LOCAL
PHONE port or damage will result.
2. Connect Talk-A-Phone Emergency/Information phones to ports 1-8.
3. To program the EC-8, either lift the handset of the phone connected to the
LOCAL PHONE port or dial the phone number connected to the TELCO
LINE IN port. The EC-8 will answer with three beeps. Enter codes with the
keypad of your phone. The Consolidator will respond with 1 beep if the
command was completed successfully or 2 beeps if an error was detected.
4. If you plugged a standard telephone company line into the TELCO LINE IN
and you are not using the LOCAL PHONE port, you do not need to
program the EC-8. Skip to step 9 to program the Emergency Phones.
5. Enter the Consolidator Access Code: *31**
6. If an analog PBX line is connected to the TELCO LINE IN port, enter *39*2*
7. To route emergency phone calls to the LOCAL PHONE port only, enter *37*
8. To have emergency phone calls alternate between TELCO LINE IN and
LOCAL PHONE, enter *63*. Then enter *35* to call LOCAL PHONE first or
*36* to call TELCO LINE IN first.
9. Enter *4X* to route to port X on the EC-8 to program you emergency phone.
See the Emergency Phone Manual for further instructions.
B. Detailed Programming Information
To program the EC-8 Consolidator, call it by either dialing the phone number
of the line connected to the TELCO IN port or by lifting the handset of the
standard telephone plugged into the LOCAL PHONE port. In either case, the
EC-8 will respond with three beeps. The Consolidator will respond to all
programming requests in one of two ways:
1 Beep Command completed successfully
2 Beeps Error(s) detected
If you hear two beeps, enter the code again. If you hear two beeps a second
time, hang up and try again.
