III. Software Programming
A. Quick Programming Guide
Programming your Talk-A-Phone unit is, in most cases, quite simple. While it is
recommended that you read the complete instructions below before you begin, the
following quick guide will serve many applications. After entering each code you
should hear one beep, confirming the acknowledgement of the command:
1. Call your emergency/information phone. It answers with a series of tones.
2. Enter the default Guard Access Code: *4**.
3. Enter the primary phone number your Talk-A-Phone unit should dial upon
activation: *13*[Phone Number]*.
4. Enter the secondary phone number your Talk-A-Phone unit should dial if the
primary number is busy or does not answer (optional): *23*[Phone Number]*.
5. If the Talk-A-Phone unit will be an extension of a phone system (i.e. on a PBX),
enter these three codes into the Emergency/Information phone, each followed by
the acknowledgement beep: *55*, *18*5*, *14*3*.
6. If your phone has the Intelli-Voice Option (the model number ends in "V"), enter
*58* to record a 10 second message. The Talk-A-Phone unit will beep once
before the recording starts and beep the second time at the end of the message
recording. Enter *59* to play back the recorded message.
7. Enter # to hang up the Talk-A-Phone unit.
B. Detailed Programming Information: Before Programming
There are several questions you must answer in order to program your phone. You
may have to contact the communication manager of the facility to get the answers to
some of these questions. You should write down your answers on the back of this
manual for future reference. Before you proceed, make sure that the phone is on a
dedicated line. (If it shares a line with other emergency phones, make sure you are
using an EC-2 or EC-8 Consolidator.) In other words, there must not be any other
devices using this communication line.
1. What is the phone number of the line this phone is connected to? You need to
know this, as you have to call the phone in order to program it.
2. What is the location of the phone? List all pertinent information, such as address,
elevator car number, hallway, etc.
3. Is the phone line a phone company line, or is it an analog PBX extension?
4. What is the primary number the phone should dial upon activation?
5. Is there a secondary number the phone should call in the event that the first
number does not answer or is busy? A secondary number is not required for the
phone to function, but is recommended.
6. Does the phone have the Intelli-Voice option? That is, does the phone model
number end with a “V”?
7. If the phone is on a PBX line, is the extension set for “Ring Down?”
