4. Using a small standard screwdriver, make the following adjustments:
a. Adjust the Low Frequency Cut Off control to center position. This control cuts out the low fre-
quency bass so that horns and small speakers are not over-driven and distorted by excessive
bass energy. Cut-off frequency is continuously adjustable from 50Hz (full CCW rotation) to 400 Hz
(full CW rotation). See Figure 9.
b. Adjust the Page VOX (voice activated) sensitivity to the fully counterclockwise position.
c. Adjust Music Input level to the center position. Clockwise rotation will increase the level. Listen
and set to a comfortable level.
d. Adjust Music Ducking level to the fully counterclockwise position. This feature allows music to
continue to be heard during a page, but at a reduced level. The range is less than –40 dB (full
CCW) to –6 dB (full CW). If music is not connected, set to full CCW.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER
The Controller is programmed to enable each zone to have different zone features, if required. There are
two ways to do the programming. One is via the RS-232 serial port on the Controller which is connected
to an IBM compatible (DOS) PC using the optional programming software.
An advantage of using a PC to configure the Controller is that screens can be viewed on the monitor to
aid in selecting the zones for various options. A re-programming of the entire system can be done before
downloading the configuration to the controller, saving down time. Furthermore, the old configuration can
be saved and used again.
The other method works via the telephone access port (like calling to make a page), which accepts only
touchtone telephone keypad inputs (DTMF) tones. The Controller has the ability to retain all program-
ming options in non-volatile EEPROM memory or as a .CFG (configuration) file on a personal computer.
PROGRAMMING STEPS
The Zone Option switches on the rear of the Controller and Zone Expansion units must be set to match
the zone option selected for programming. The slide switch for each zone must be manually set to Con-
tact Closure (to switch on/off a device, such as a door security lock, remote amplifier, etc.), Input Contact
Closure, or Audio Output, depending on the mode selected for each zone.
IMPORTANT! It is recommended that the paging zone decisions be made and filled in on the Zone Map
and Configuration Tables, located on pages 32-35 prior to setting zone option switches and
programming.
* * ENTER PROGRAMMING MODE
1. From any DTMF telephone in the system, dial the paging access extension.
2. Dial the Connect Password (if optioned).
You will hear the paging system dial tone.
3. Dial * *
You will hear confirmation tone, then dial tone. Now programming may begin.
1 0 RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS
1. Dial 1 0
You will hear two beeps from the Controller.
2. Dial 2 5 3 2 7
After a long pause, you will hear 3 beeps from the Controller. The controller is now set to factory default
conditions.
3. Program the system options (refer to the following paragraphs).
You may exit the programming mode by dialing #.
CAUTION:
The Zone Option switches must be set before the system is powered up, and
therefore before programming commences.

2 0 DEFINE LENGTH OF ALIAS NUMBERS
This system option allows you to set the length (3 or 4 digits) of the ALIAS number field. The default is 2
digits. If you wish to assign ALIAS numbers to the paging zones, you must set the length parameter. The
ALIAS number is the dialing extension for the zone. If no ALIAS numbers are used, the Physical Zone
Code is the dialing extension for a zone.
First access the PagePac Plus system and enter the programming mode by pressing ∗∗and then
entering your Programming password (if optioned). You may exit the programming mode by dialing #.
Note: This MUST be done before “Zone Map Option – Assigning ALIAS Numbers,” later in this section.

3 0 SET CONNECT PASSWORD
This feature will not become active until the first time you enter a password, via the programming mode.
The factory default is NO password. The Connect password operates as a security block into the paging
system, restricting paging access to authorized users.
Note: You may want to use a short Connect password (2 or 3 digits only) for ease of use.
1. Dial 3 0 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the Password you wish to use (up to 6 digits). If the password has fewer than 6 digits, enter the
#to terminate the string.
Note: For example, 123456 is a valid password entry. 123# is also a valid password entry, resulting in
the password 123.
If you already have entered a password and want to remove it (to have NO password), just enter the #
alone. Hear TRIPLE beeps.
To verify that the new Connect password has been established, dial 3 1 and repeat step 2 above.
3 2 SET PROGRAMMING PASSWORD
Establishing a Programming password will restrict access to the programming mode of the PagePac
Plus paging system. It is recommended that access to programming be restricted to the System Admin-
istrator, Telecommunications Manager, or other selected users.
Note: Your Connect and Programming passwords should not be the same. If this feature is active and
the system has been accessed via the telephone interface, then after the first digit of your Programming
password is pressed, the dial tone will stop and will not be returned until the correct password is entered
or until the user hangs up and re-enters the system.
This feature will become active once any programming password has been entered via the programming
mode. You are not required to establish such a password. The factory-set default programming pass-
word is ∗∗.
1. Dial 3 2 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the Password you wish to use (up to 6 digits). If the password has fewer than 6 digits, enter the
#to terminate the string.
If you already have entered a password and now want to remove it (to have NO password), just enter the
#alone.
For example, 234567 is a valid password entry. 234# is also a valid password entry, resulting in the
password 234.

This option selects a device to be connected to the Controller RS-232 port, a computer monitor for log-
ging of all paging activity or a visual message display. The default setting is Computer Monitor.
By selecting Computer Monitor (the default option), the system is enabled to monitor activity on Atten-
dant Access, Telephone Interface, and Night Bell inputs. This feature requires that a PC computer be
connected to the RS-232 port of the Controller. Whenever the input becomes active, ASCII characters
will be sent out the RS-232 port (DB9 pin connector) to the computer. The ASCII characters will be inter-
cepted by a special software package in the computer that logs the time, date, input zone, type of activ-
ity, zone that was paged, and duration of the activity. All such input activity to the paging system can then
be viewed (and recorded) on the computer.

the Ground Start position. Connect the telephone interface to a Loop Start trunk on the host system
using a standard two-conductor (not four-conductor) RJ-11 cable.
The Supervised Trunk access mode provides both VOX Disconnect and Forced Disconnect timeouts.
When the Controller detects that the it has been off hook for two minutes, it opens the trunk circuit for
one second, ending the call. Also, if no voice activity is detected for the period specified by the VOX Dis-
connect programming option (normally 30 seconds), or if the telephone is overridden by a higher priority
activity (i.e., attendant access), the call is disconnected.
Note: The Ground Start and Station Access modes are not available when the Controller is configured
for Supervised Trunk mode. Supervised Trunk mode must be turned off to re-enable these access
modes.

3. To verify the condition (OFF/ON) of the Zone Microphone option, dial 59and repeat step 2 above.
GENERAL ZONE AND ZONE GROUP CONFIGURATIONS
General Zone and Zone Group Configurations are options that apply to selected zones or groups, not to
the entire system. The steps following Copy Command, describe each option.
1 2 COPY COMMAND
The COPY command can be used to copy the configuration of a zone that has already been optioned, to
one or more additional zones. This saves re-entering the same parameters over again, to duplicate the
parameters of an existing zone.
1. Dial 1 2 to activate COPY command.
Hear a DOUBLE beep tone.
2. Enter the zone number that you wish to copy from (i.e., 01).
Hear DOUBLE beep tone.
3. Enter the zone number of the beginning of the range of zones you wish to copy to.
Hear a DOUBLE beep tone.
4. Enter the zone number of the END of the zone range to be copied to.
Hear a TRIPLE beep tone.
Note: Program the Controller using the physical zone number.
For example, to copy the parameters of zone 01 to all other zones, the range zone 02 to 56 would be
entered in this step and the next. To copy to a single zone (for example, 02) enter that zone number as
both the beginning and the end of the range (02 to 02). In this step, enter only the beginning zone of the
zone range.
6 0 ZONE MAP OPTION -- ASSIGNING ALIAS NUMBERS
Note: Before doing this option, you MUST do “Define Length of ALIAS Numbers” (see Step 3).
Zone Map permits you to assign the dialing code, called the ALIAS zone code, that you will dial to
access a particular zone by telephone (i.e., instead of dialing 02 to make a page, you could dial 2202).
The factory default is NONE: no ALIAS numbers are pre-programmed. The zones are identified by their
2-digit Physical Zone Codes (01 thru 56 and groups 81-88) as the default condition.

Digit string length for an ALIAS code can be 3 or 4 digits, but all ALIAS codes must have the same num-
ber of digits. (Refer to Step 3) The ∗and #digits are not applicable digits for zone ALIAS numbers.
Note: If ALIAS numbers are enabled, you MUST use them for programming from now on. When an
ALIAS number for a zone is changed, all the previous zone options for that zone will be transferred to the
new zone number.
Refer to your own Zone Map and the Example Zone Map at the end of this programming section.
1. Dial 6 0 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Enter the 2-digit PHYSICAL zone/group code, of the zone to be given an ALIAS number.
