LOCAL PROGRAMMING VIA KEYBOARD
Entering and exiting programming mode
Enter programming mode by pressing and holding the * key until you hear a triple "beep"
sound (approx. 3 seconds)
To exit programming mode, press and hold the * key again and wait for the triple beep. If the
unit is left in programming mode, it automatically exits after two minutes without pressing any
key.
When you exit the programming mode, the valid commands you have entered are stored.
During a parameter programming session, a password will be requested, once correctly
entered it will not be requested again during the programming session. The default password
is "0000.
KEYBOARD COMMAND SYNTAX
The phone's configuration parameters can be programmed and/or consulted. The phone will
always respond via synthesised voice messages. These same commands can also be invoked by
a remote call using the keypad of the calling telephone terminal.
In the case of a query, the commands begin and end with *. For example, consulting the first
alarm number would be *02*.
The programming commands have a syntax like *NN#.... Depending on which command it is, it
ends with # or with # value
Certain parameters require a password to be consulted or programmed. Once the password
has been correctly entered, it will be valid during the programming session and will not be
requested again during the session.

PROGRAMMING COMMANDS
Language selection (81)
The MEP2L incorporates a flash memory with the capacity to store up to four voice synthesis
languages for car and programming messages. Unless otherwise indicated, these languages are
ES, EN, FR and PO. It is possible to change one or all languages by connecting to a PC via an
FTDI cable and the appropriate PC software. If you need a language not included, please
consult Merak Telsis, SL.
Car number (29)
In a multi-car installation where the telephone line is shared, it is necessary to differentiate the
MEP2L phones from each other. This parameter is used to number, starting with one (default
value), the cars that share the line. It is important to say that in case of an incoming call, only
car one picks up the call. In case you want to talk to another car, we explain later how to do it.
It is important not to repeat the car number in a multi-car installation sharing the
same telephone line. In a single lift installation with a single line, nothing should be
done as the MEP2L is pre-programmed as car 1.
Alarm phone number programming
Up to 4 telephone numbers can be stored for the alarm call generated by the B1 car button, in
registers 02, 03, 04 and 05

Maintenance phone number programming
This number is the one that is dialled in case the B2, Maintenance Alarm button is pressed. If
no number is stored, the car alarm call numbers are called. When you press this button, there
is no countdown and a call is generated immediately.
Alarm button delay time (B1)
When the car alarm button is pressed, a phone call is not immediately generated. The alarm
button must be held down for a while to trigger the alarm. This is done to avoid unwanted or
accidental calls. Pressing the alarm button starts a countdown from the value programmed by
this parameter. The default value is "3.
Emergency call duration (TLL)
The duration of the emergency calls is timed. The default value is 3 minutes, but it can be
changed with this parameter. Shortly before the set time limit is reached, a repetitive beep
will be heard. At this point, if the alarm button is pressed again or the operator presses a DTMF
tone on his keypad, the timer resets so that a new n-minute period is available to continue the
call.
The TLL call time must always be greater than the TACK call acceptance time.
Each time the call centre operator presses a DTMF tone, including 3 or 5 to accept the
call, the TLL call time resets to the programmed n, or 3 more minutes if left as default.
Alarm filtering
Using the alarm filtering means having a signal wired from the control panel to the
optocoupled input for this purpose. In addition, parameter 19 must be set to enable alarm
filtering if wired.

Alarm call attempts
Maximum number of rounds to be run through the alarm phone list to get a valid call. The
default value is 1, so it will be tried once for each of the four alarm numbers. The maximum
value is 3, which means that up to 12 call attempts can be generated for a single press of the
alarm button B1.
Alarm call mode
The Merak MEP2L phone has three modes of operation when establishing outgoing
calls. It can be operated according to the strict EN 81-28 standard, in EN 81-28 standard
mode with ACK call but without EOA management, or just as a hands-free phone.
Mode 0: Hands-free phone mode: All calls are considered correct, no ACK. The
instructions "press 3 to talk to the car..." are not reproduced, it is not necessary to
generate an EOA alarm end to close the alarm. Does not comply with lift standard EN
81-28. The use of this mode in lifts is the responsibility of the maintainer.
Mode 1: Strict Standard Mode When making a call, the locution is played "Press 3 to
talk to the car, press 5 to hear the location message". When you press 3 or 5, an ACK
is generated and an EOA alarm end must be generated to close the alarm. As long as
the Alarm status activated by the EOA procedure is not cancelled, the yellow light will
remain on.
Mode 2: Non-Strict Standard Mode (default mode):When making a call, the following
message is played "Press 3 to talk to the car, press 5 to hear the location message".
When you press 3 or 5, an ACK is generated and it is NOT necessary to generate an
EOA alarm end to close the alarm. Default mode.
In modes 1 and 2, you will hear a voice announcement on the side of the call centre that says
“Press 3 to talk to the car, press 5 to hear the location message ". This locution is repeated as
long as the call is not accepted by pressing 3 or 5, and as long as the call time is less than the
maximum call acceptance time (TACK). At this point, the audio channel will open and you can
talk to the cockpit.
The locution "press 5 to hear the locate message" is only generated if there is a
message recorded using parameter 51.

Command Manual · Voice Mode 8 for 22
ACK Time (TACK)
This is the time that the phone waits to receive a "3" or "5" call acceptance from the call centre
before it considers the call bad and retries the next number on the list. The default value is 1
minute. This means that there can be no music on hold for longer than the ACK time as the
phone will then retry with the next number in the list. If this is the same as the first attempt,
the call will return to the beginning of the call queue.
Therefore, it is important that calls are taken before ACK time. The maximum call
duration (parameter 13, 3 minutes by default) must always be greater than the ACK
time (TLL>TACK). The ACK time is only effective when parameter 22 is set to 1 or 2.
Alarm call protocol
This parameter sets the protocol to be used in the alarm call for each phone number. The
default value is 0 (Merak protocol).
Set number of rings in incoming call
Set ring number before picking up the call, default value is 3 and must be greater than or equal
to 2 rings. When you pick up the call, the MEP2L plays the locution "Enter command”

Incoming call
When you hear the "Enter Command" prompt, you can perform the following ACTIONS
from the keypad of the calling phone:
Force hang up on the call
From any telephone with a keypad that communicates with the MEP2L, it is possible to force
the hang up of the call to the MEP2L using this sequence (*0#). This is useful in those situations
where the MEP2L is known not to be able to detect the line signalling corresponding to the
hang-up (busy tone or dead tone), and ends up hanging up by timeout. The MEP2L detects a
large number of hang-up signals and busy tones, but if it does not detect any, terminated with
*0# the MEP2L hangs up the call immediately.
TEST CALLS
Programming phone number for periodic test call
Test calls can be made to two phone numbers. In case of test for missed call (out of standard),
only one phone number has to be programmed.
Test call mode
To make test calls according to a strict rule, this parameter must be set to 1. In this way, a
failed test call will be signalled in the lift car by the flashing of the car lights. If programmed to
0, the failed test status is not indicated.

Test call protocol
This parameter sets the protocol to be used in the test call for each phone number. It is
recommended to use P100 protocol, which is the default protocol.
Test call attempts
This parameter sets the maximum number of turns the algorithm gives to the test call number
table to get a valid call. The minimum is 1 and the maximum 3. If two different numbers are
programmed for test calls, the maximum number of attempts will be six.
Identifier for P100
The test protocol at P100 is extremely simple. The phone calls the test server, it picks up and
answers with one character, the phone answers with the 8-character long identifier
encapsulated in a checksum frame, and if the reception is correct, the test is good. The
identifier must be unique in the phone park managed by a P100 test server. The administrator
of the P100 test server must manage the assignment of length 8 identifiers.
Time between test calls
This parameter sets the time between test calls, expressed in minutes. The minimum accepted
value is 1440 minutes (one day)
