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 frequency
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 Music Input level to the center position. Clockwise rotation will increase the level. Listen and
set to a comfortable level. (Make sure the music input is not too high check for the overload light on
amp).
C. 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 –40dB (full CCW) to –
6dB (full CW). If music is not connected, set to full CCW.
D. Adjust the Page VOX (voiceactivated) sensitivity to the fully counterclockwise position.
E. Adjust page call to increase page volume or to lower page levels if overload light is on.

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.

17
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 programming
options in non-volatile EEPROM memory or as a .CFG (configuration) file on a personal computer.
PROGRAMMING STEPS
CAUTION
The Zone Option switches must be set before the system is powered up, and therefore before
programming the system.
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 Contact 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 25-29 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 * *
Note: you will hear conformation 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 three 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 #.
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.
Note: This MUST be done before “Zone Map Option – Assigning ALIAS Numbers,” later in this section.
1. Dial 20 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
Press 3 or 4 to set length of ALIAS numbers (number of digits dialed to reach paging zone).
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
2. To verify the setting, dial 2 1 and repeat step 2 above.
2 2 SET SERIAL PORT BIT RATE
The speed (bit rate) of the controller's RS-232 serial port can be set to the rate of the computer monitor or visual
display. Default is 9600 bps. The bit rate may be changed at any time, but the Controller must be reset (power
off then on again) in order to take effect. (This is the only program change requiring the Controller to be reset).
1. Dial 2 2 to select this option
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial a code to select the Serial Port Bit Rate

Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the status of this option, dial 2 3 and repeat step 2 above.
2 4 INHIBIT DIAL TONE DETECT
Supervision of the Station/Centrex Access mode is accomplished in 3 ways, by monitoring the loop current and
the audio signal (including dial tone), and a forced disconnect timer. This option (only applicable in the station
access mode) enables you to defeat the dial tone detect function in order to send a tone via the Telephone
Interface to the output.
1. Dial 2 4 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial 0 to Enable, or 1to Inhibit.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the condition (OFF/ON) of the Dial Tone Detect option, dial 2 5 and repeat step 2
above.
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 Administrator,
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 password 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.
NOTE: For example, 234567 is a valid password entry. 234# is also a valid password entry, resulting in
the password 234.

19
If you already have entered a password and now want to remove it (to have NO password), just enter the #
alone. Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify that the new Programming password has been established, dial 3 3 and repeat step
2 above.
Forgot the Password? If either or both the connect password and programming password are forgotten, it will
be necessary to call the Help line (refer to page ii) for instructions how to erase the two passwords and be able
to enter new ones.
4 0 TURN CONFIRMATION TONE ON/OFF
When the option is ON, a tone will be sent to the telephone interface after a zone has been selected and before
a page can be made. The default setting is ON.
1. Dial 4 0 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial 0 to turn OFF, or 1 to turn ON. Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the Confirmation Tone condition (OFF or ON), dial 4 1 and repeat step 2 above.
4 2 TURN PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT TONE ON/OFF
This tone is very similar to the initial talk-back warning tone, in the sense that it is sent to a zone when the zone
is accessed. This tone will be sent out to both speakers in the zone selected and to the telephone interface.
After this tone is sent, you may begin your page message. Default is ON.
1. Dial 4 2 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial 0 to turn OFF, or 1 to turn ON. Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the Pre- Announcement Tone condition (OFF or ON), dial 4 3 and repeat step 2 above.
4 4 SET TALKBACK WARNING TONE
This tone is intended to alert a person that their conversation is being monitored through the paging system
loudspeaker. If Talkback is optioned for YES, then the choices will be Initial only, Initial and 30 Second Repeat
or Off. The default setting for this parameter is Initial and 30 Second Repeat.
1. Dial 4 4 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial 0 to turn OFF, 1 to select INITIAL tone only, or 2to select Initial and 30 Second repeat.
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the condition of the Talkback Warning Tone, dial 4 5 and repeat step 2 above.
5 0 SET VOX DISCONNECT TIMING
The system will hang up on a page if no audio is detected for the programmed amount of time. The default time
is 30 seconds, but can be varied from 10 seconds to 60 seconds, in 10 second increments, or can be disabled
completely.
1. Dial 5 0 to select this option. Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial the code to select a duration for the VOX Disconnect Timing:

Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the duration of the VOX Disconnect Timing, dial 5 1 and repeat step 2 above.
5 2 ENABLE COMPUTER MONITOR
This option selects a device to be connected to the Controller RS-232 port, a computer monitor for logging 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

20
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.
By selecting Display, the monitoring activity described above enables commands to be sent to a visual message
display where preprogrammed messages are displayed.
1. Dial 5 2 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial the 0to select Computer Monitor, or 1 to select Visual Display
Hear TRIPLE beeps.
3. To verify the status of this option, dial 5 3 and repeat step 2 above.
If a Computer Monitor or visual message display has been connected and Controller software
loaded, you will need to select the types of paging inputs to be displayed or recorded. See
next programming option select “Input to Computer Monitor.”
5 4 SELECT INPUT TO COMPUTER MONITOR
This option turns ON or OFF the inputs of Attendant Access, Telephone Access, and Night Bell to be recorded
and displayed by the Computer Monitor if you have activated it in Program 5 2. Default is OFF for all three.
You will need to repeat this procedure 3 times in order to reset all three inputs.
1. Dial 5 4 to select this option.
Hear a DOUBLE beep.
2. Dial the code to select an option for one of the three inputs:
0to turn OFF the Attendant Access.

5 6 SET SUPERVISED TRUNK MODE
If the host telephone system does not have a supervised trunk option this feature does not apply.
Proceed to Program 5 8.
Note: Once the option has been configured, you should place the Controller Telephone Mode switch to
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 Disconnect programming option
Program 50(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.
