Programming Sequences
The programming information on the following pages explains the
programming options. The telephone is shipped from the factory
with a set of default parameters that are listed in the Programming
Table on page 23. A User Settings section has been provided in
the Programming Table for the user to record the selected
programming parameters.
It is recommended that the user read the sections that follow, record the desired parameters in the User
Settings section of the Programming Table, and then complete the programming using the instructions
from either the Remote Programming or the Local Programming section.
Dialing Options
The emergency telephones can be configured for either auto-dialing or ring-down operation. Select the
dialing option that fits your application. The dialing options are explained in detail in the following
sections.
Auto-dialing
The emergency push button can be programmed to call three unique telephone numbers. The unique
telephone numbers include a primary telephone number and two backup, or roll over, numbers. In the
event an emergency call cannot connect to the primary telephone number (i.e., a busy signal or no
answer), the emergency phone will automatically dial the first backup, or roll over, number. Again, in the
event an emergency call cannot connect to first back-up telephone number, the emergency phone will
automatically dial the second backup, or roll over, number. This sequence will continue until the
emergency call is answered, or the sequence is repeated three times for a total of 12 call attempts.
For the rollover feature to function properly, all three auto-dial memories must be programmed with valid
telephone numbers. The three auto-dial numbers can be the same or any combination of phone numbers.
If the phone is programmed with only one or two auto-dial numbers, the rollover operation will not
function and the numbers will only be dialed one time.
If an emergency phone is connected to a PBX, PABX, KSU, etc., telephone system, the emergency phone
can be programmed to access outside CO lines. Typically access to a CO line requires adding a digit (e.g.
9) to the auto-dial number. Also, a “pause” may be required in the auto-dial number. The pause typically
is required to wait for secondary (CO line) dial tone. See the example in the Emergency Button Auto-dial
Number 1 in the table below.
In addition to the pause, the emergency telephone has a programmable Primary Dial Tone Delay and
Secondary Dial Tone Delay. Both delays determine the amount of time the emergency phone will wait
before dialing the stored telephone number. The Secondary Dial Tone Delay can only be used if a “9” is
dialed to gain access to a CO line.
