Important: Exclusion from this list means only that compatibility has not been verified, it does not mean
incompatibility. If you have questions, please call Viking Electronics at 715-386-8861.
Note 1: Mount the PSA-IP close to where the
other speakers are installed to minimize the
speaker wire run lengths.
Note 2: Using half the recommended distance
or half as many speakers per run will keep the
volume lost limited to 3db.
Note 3: Doubling up the wires will allow double
the length, or reduce the amount of volume
loss.
Note 4: Heavier gauge wire, fewer speakers
per run, and shorter runs will all minimize
volume loss.

Definitions
Client: A computer or device that makes use of a server. As an example, the client might request a particular file from the server.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. In this procedure the network server or router takes note of a client’s MAC address and
assigns an IP address to allow the client to communicate with other devices on the network.
DNS Server: A DNS (Domain Name System) server translates domain names (ie: www.vikingelectronics.com) into an IP address.
Ethernet: Ethernet is the most commonly used LAN technology. An Ethernet Local Area Network typically uses twisted pair wires to
achieve transmission speeds up to 1Gbps.
Host: A computer or device connected to a network.
Host Name: A host name is a label assigned to a device connected to a computer network that is used to identify the device in various
forms of network communication.
Hosts File: A file stored in a computer that lists host names and their corresponding IP addresses with the purpose of mapping addresses
to hosts or vice versa.
Internet: A worldwide system of computer networks running on IP protocol which can be accessed by individual computers or networks.
IP: Internet Protocol is the set of communications conventions that govern the way computers communicate on networks and on the
Internet.
IP Address: This is the address that uniquely identifies a host on a network.
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a network connecting computers and other devices within an office or building.
Lease: The amount of time a DHCP server reserves an address it has assigned. If the address isn’t used by the host for a period of
time, the lease can expire and the address can be assigned to another host.
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address, also called a hardware address or physical address, is a unique
address assigned to a device at the factory. It resides in the device’s memory and is used by routers to send network traffic to the correct
IP address. You can find the MAC address of your PSA-IP speaker printed on a white label on the side of the chassis (see page 4).
Router: A device that forwards data from one network to another. In order to send information to the right location, routers look at IP
Address, MAC Address and Subnet Mask.
RTP: Real-Time Transport Protocol is an Internet protocol standard that specifies a way for programs to manage the real-time transmission
of multimedia data over either unicast or multicast network services.
Server: A computer or device that fulfills requests from a client. This could involve the server sending a particular file requested by the
client.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP): Is a signaling communications protocol, widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions
such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. The protocol defines the messages that are sent between endpoints,
which govern establishment, termination and other essential elements of a call.
Static IP Address: A static IP Address has been assigned manually and is permanent until it is manually removed. It is not subject to the
Lease limitations of a Dynamic IP Address assigned by the DHCP Server. The default static IP Address is: 192.168.154.1
Subnet: A portion of a network that shares a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, subnets are defined as all devices
whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For example, all devices with IP addresses that start with 100.100.100. would be part of the
same subnet. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both security and performance reasons. IP networks are divided using a subnet
mask.
TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is the suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet.
TCP/IP uses several protocols, the two main ones being TCP and IP. TCP/IP is built into the UNIX operating system and is used by the
Internet, making it the de facto standard for transmitting data over networks.
TISP: Telephone Internet Service Provider
WAN: Wide Area Network. A WAN is a network comprising a large geographical area like a state or country. The largest WAN is the
Internet.
Wireless Access Point (AP): A device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi, or related standards. The
AP usually connects to a router (via a wired network) as a standalone device, but it can also be an integral component of the router itself.
Wireless Repeater (Wireless Range Extender): takes an existing signal from a wireless router or access point and rebroadcasts it to
create a second network. When two or more hosts have to be connected with one another over the IEEE 802.11 protocol and the distance
is too long for a direct connection to be established, a wireless repeater is used to bridge the gap.

When set to Peer to Peer mode, a SIP server is not used. The unit should be programmed with a static IP address and
username, a password is not used. Caller ID can be programmed if needed. Simply call the unit by entering the
programmed “[email protected]...(static IP address for the unit)”. The static IP address is normally programmed into
a page button on the VoIP telephones. NOTE: Peer to Peer mode does not affect multicast paging.
1. Unit Name
Up to a 30 character unit name can be assigned to the PSA-IP being programmed.
Programming Features
Enter the IP address or URL of your SIP server or service provider in this field. The SIP server IP address is limited to
74 characters. Note: If an alternate SIP server IP address is programmed, the IP address for the SIP server and
alternate SIP server will be limited to 31 characters. Note: If outbound proxy is not required, enter the SIP server IP
address into the Outbnd Proxy field.
4. Outbound Proxy
If your SIP provider requires an outbound proxy IP address enter it in the “Outbnd Proxy” field. If outbound proxy is not
required enter the SIP sever IP address into the “Outbnd Proxy” field. NOTE: If not required, this field must match your
SIP server IP address.
5. Authentication ID
If your SIP provider requires Authentication ID, enter it in the “Authentic. ID” field. If Authentication ID is not required,
leave this field blank.
6. Register Fails (Re-Resolve or Alternate Server)
When registered to a SIP server in the event that registration is lost you can program the unit to re-resolve using the
current SIP server IP address or route pages through an alternate SIP server. With Alternate Server selected enter the
IP address of the alternate SIP server in the field next to the Register Fails drop down box. Note: With an alternate
SIP server IP address programmed, the IP address for the SIP server and alternate SIP server will be limited to 31
characters.

Standard Multicast Paging Tab
The security code allows the user/installer to program the PSA-IP with a PC and the required ‘Viking IP Programming”
software. If the security code is left as default, the PC software won’t require entering a security code when connecting
to the PSA-IP. It is recommended that the factory set security code be changed. The security code can be set back to
default by holding the Reset button while the PSA-IP powers up. See section D on page 9 for details. It can also be
defaulted by connecting to the unit with the IP Programming Software and clicking on the “Clear Speaker Settings”
button on the “Alarm / Firmware” tab. Factory Setting: 845464
NOTE: The security code must be 6 digits and cannot include a Qor #.
7. Security Code
Select Standard or Polycom as the source of multicast paging. If Polycom is selected as the source, the screen will
change to show its options (see next page). For Details see #11 on Page 13.
Factory Setting: Standard (shown above)
9. Pre Page Tone
When enabled, a short beep will be heard prior to SIP or Multicast paging audio. The volume of the Pre Page Alert Tone
will match the volume setting of the SIP or Multicast page. Factory Setting: Enabled
10. Multicast Page Type
The Access Code is primarily used along with the “Auto Answer Secure” Inbound Call Mode to force inbound SIP page
callers to dial the Access Code before they can make a SIP page. The Access Code also comes into play when using
the relay of the PSA-IP to open a door or gate. When you call the PSA-IP and the unit automatically answers the call
(see Programming section 38), you must dial the Access Code before you are allowed to operate the door strike relays,
as extra security on inbound calls. Once a tenant has entered the correct Access Code, 2 beeps are heard and the user
can now enter any “Operation Commands” (see Operation section D). The Access Code can be disabled if this basic
security is not required. Factory Setting: 123456
Note: The Access Code can be 1 - 6 digits in length and cannot include a Qor # or match the numbers used for the
Security Code.
8. Access Code

Polycom Multicast Paging Tab
Incoming PSA-IP SIP call audio streams can be programmed to have priority over any of the 10 standard Multicast
paging groups. Simply use the “Sip Page Priority Level” drop down menu to select which Multicast group you want SIP
calls to have priority over. Factory Setting: “0” (SIP is highest priority).
When Polycom is selected as the Multicast Page Type, the “SIP Page Priority Level” can be set to “Polycom” or “None”.
See the following tables for the order of priorities with each setting. As shown, Polycom Group 25 multicast is the
highest priority. The priority options allow you to determine the priorities for Polycom Groups 1 through 24 multicast
signals and SIP paging. Factory Setting: Polycom

12. Standard or Polycom Multicast Paging
Standard
When using standard Multicast Paging, up to 10 multicast paging groups can be programmed into each PSA-IP speaker.
Each multicast group is defined by a multicast address and port number. Each multicast group is assigned a priority,
allowing simultaneously arriving pages to be serviced based on importance. A timeout check box can be selected for
each paging group. See Multicast Page Timeout under Paging Settings to adjust the timeout from 1 - 255 seconds.
Only one timeout time can be programmed for all groups. The volume for each multicast group can be programmed
separately.
Assigning Priority to standard Multicast Paging
The PSA-IP will prioritize simultaneous audio streams according to their priority in the Paging Sources list. Group 0
will have the highest priority while group 9 will have the lowest priority. Group 9 is useful for a low priority stream such
as background music. Group 0 is useful for high priority streams such as emergency messages.
The multicast paging groups can also be used for up to ten different paging zones for receiving audio streams. A paging
zone can consist of one or many PSA-IP multicast speakers. There is no limit to how many speakers can be in a given
paging zone. Each multicast group is defined by a multicast address and port number. Each multicast group is assigned
a priority, allowing simultaneously arriving pages to be serviced based on importance.
Polycom
Polycom IP phones send multicast audio to a specific IP address and port. A total of 25 groups can be used, with
group 25 generally reserved for an emergency broadcast. Set the Multicast Page Type to “Polycom”. The Viking IP
programming page will then show “Polycom Paging Source and Group Subscriptions”. Polycom phones will default
to IP address 224.0.1.116 and port 5001 for multicast. Under “Polycom Paging Source and Group Subscriptions”,
enter the IP address and port you chose in the Polycom IP phone as “Multicast IP address” and “port” (Paging/PTT
Configuration page). Select the paging groups the PSA-IP should subscribe to. Any multicast audio sent to the
correct IP address, port number and a subscribed group will be heard from the Speaker terminals. Group 1 is the
lowest priority and group 25 is the highest. The Volume and Timeout can be selected globally, although the timeout
does not affect group 25. Factory Setting: all Groups selected
The volume of each individual standard multicast page can be adjusted from 0 - 19. When polycom paging is used,
the paging volume is set globally for all 25 groups. Factory Setting: 1
13. Multicast Paging Volume

14. Night Ring Timed Operation
When Night Ring Timed Operation is enabled, if a SIP call is received during the programmed Start and Stop times,
the PSA-IP will output loud ring on the “Speaker Out” terminals. This is selectable for each day of the week. When
outside of the Night Ring timing window, the Inbound Call Mode setting will determine how SIP calls are handled.
NOTE: For timed Night Ringing the unit must be synced with a time server. If the Night Ringing feature is enabled in
the software you will be asked to use Viking Time Server when changes are applied. The address will be entered by
the software automatically.
15. Time Zone Settings / Daylight Savings Time
When using the Night Ring Timed Operation the PSA-IP must be synced with the network time. Set the Time Zone
Settings to match the settings on the network the unit is connected to for proper timed operation.

15
16. External Relay
A Viking remote model RC-4A relay controller can be used to activate up to four external relays (see page 23). With
the external relay set to “Enable EXT 1,2,3,4,+” the PSA-IP will activate an optional RC-4A relay fcontroller.
Factory Setting: Disabled
17. Ext Relay Mode
Door Strike Mode: When programmed for Door Strike Mode the relay is intended for door strike, magnetic lock or
gate control.
Paging Mode: When programmed for Phone/Paging Mode the relay will activate continuously for the duration of any
SIP or multicast page or any inbound or outbound call to or from the speaker phone. This mode is useful for triggering
paging amplifiers, etc.
Ring Mode: When programmed for Ring Mode the relay will continuously activate while the ringing extension is called.
This mode is useful for activating a Viking model SL-2 strobe light, etc.
Ri ng Flash Mode: When programmed for Ring Flash Mode the relay will momentarily turn on and off in a 400 ms on/off
cadence while the ringing extension is called. This mode is useful for activating a Viking LPL-1 Remote Visual Indicator, etc.
The one or two digit code stored in the Ext Relay Command is the touch tone command that the person being called
must enter on their phone in order to momentarily activate the relay to control a door strike, magnetic lock, gate
controller, or other device. The code can contain the characters 0-9, # or Q. The code cannot match a relay latching
command (Q1, Q0). The code must be entered while the remote phone is communicating with the speaker phone.
Factory Setting: QQ.
18. Ext Relay Command
The value stored in the Relay Activation Time is the amount of time the relay will be energized after a correct momentary
touch tone command is entered. This number can range from 0.5 - 99 seconds. This also affects timing in Doorbell
Mode. Factory Setting: 5 seconds
19. Ext Relay Activation Time

16
The relay activation tone is a buzzing sound that is heard from the speaker when the door strike relay is activated.
After the called party enters the correct relay activation command, the called party will hear 2 short confirmation beeps
and the speaker will output a buzzing sound (relay activation tone) while the door strike relay is activated. The tone
(buzz) length will match the relay activation time up to a maximum of 5 seconds. The tone (buzz) can be programmed
to three different volume settings 1 = Low, 2 = Medium, 3 = High or it can be disabled. When disabled, the confirmation
beeps will not be heard. Factory Setting: 3
20. Ext Relay Buzz Volume
When set to “Enabled” the Operation Commands (Q0 to Q1) to Un-Latch or Latch the relay are enabled. These can be
entered on a inbound call after the access code is dialed (if programmed).
When set to “Disabled” the Operation Commands (Q0 to Q1) to Un-Latch or Latch the relay are disabled. Disabling the
latch commands can be useful in applications where you want to eliminate the possibility of inadvertently entering a
latch command leaving a gate open/closed, etc.
Factory Setting: Enabled
21. Ext Relay Latch Command
The SIP Paging volume can be set from 0 - 19. 0 = lowest volume setting, 19= highest volume setting. Adjusting this
will set the Speaker volume level for SIP Paging. This setting does not affect multicast volume settings.
Factory Setting: 1
22. SIP Paging Volume
When set to Ring Mode, The PSA-IP will output a loud ring when it is called. The level can be adjusted from 0 - 19.
Factory Setting: 5
23. Ring Volume
The Inbound Call Mode determines how the PSA-IP handles incoming SIP calls. One option is to generate a loud ring
sound through the speaker. The PSA-IP can also auto answer a SIP call to transmit a page or control the relay. The
“secure” options for auto answer require the callers to dial the access code in order to transmit a page or activate the
optional RC-4A relays. Factory Setting: Auto Answer
Disabled: Inbound SIP calls are not allowed. For more security use the Auto Answer Secure Mode.
Auto Answer: Inbound calls are auto answered on the first ring. For more security use the Auto Answer Secure Mode.
Auto Answer Secure: Inbound SIP calls are auto answered and the caller must dial the access code in order to make
a SIP page.
Ring: In the “Ring” mode the speaker phone will not automatically answer an incoming call but will output a loud ring
signal out of the speaker in a factory programmed 2 seconds ON, 4 seconds OFF ring pattern. There are four available
ring cadences.
26. Inbound Call Mode
This feature selects the maximum length of time that SIP Paging calls can be connected. Programmable in increments
of 1 minute up to a maximum of 9 minutes or disabled. With the SIP Paging length disabled, the PSA-IP speaker must
rely on a call ended signal or touch tone # to hang-up. Factory Setting: 3 minutes
24. SIP Page Length Timeout
The Multicast Page Length Timeout can be programmed from 1 - 255 seconds in one second increments. The Time
Out can be disabled, allowing any length of page or continuous background music. Only one timeout time can be
programmed for all multicast paging groups. When using standard Multicast Paging, a timeout checkbox can be selected
for each paging group. When using Polycom Multicast Paging, the timeout checkbox enables the timeout globally on
groups 1 through 24. There is no timeout for a page to the emergency group 25.
Factory Setting: 180 seconds
25. Multicast Page Timeout

28. Mute Current / Next Alarm
With Alarm Tones Enabled a network failure alarm will be indicated by providing 3 beeps every 30 seconds. A network
failure indicates the unit is not registered to the SIP server or there is a communication failure with the gateway. The
three beeps can be muted by clicking on “Mute Current / Next Alarm”. The Status LED will continue to flash to assist
troubleshooting. The alarm beeps can also be permanently disabled, see 44. Permanent Alarm Mute.
Factory Setting: Disabled
29. Permanent Alarm Mute
Alarm Tones are disabled by default. To enable alarm tones select “Alarm Tones Enabled”.
30. Programming Username and Password to Restrict Access to Programming
To increase security, a username and password can be programmed to limit access to the PSA-IP using Viking IP
Programming software. When no username and password are programmed and the security code is still set to default
(845464), the PC software will not require a username, password or security code when connecting to the PSA-IP. If
the PSA-IP has been programmed with a username and password, a pop up window will ask for the username followed
by the password. If the unit’s security code has been changed from default (845464), it will then prompt for the correct
security code.
If the username and password are unknown, they can only be erased by resetting all network parameters to default
with the reset button (see section E on page 9). If the username and password are known but you wish to erase them,
that can be accomplished by exporting the data from the PSA-IP (“Alarm / Firmware” tab of Viking IP Programming),
resetting all network parameters to default with the reset button (see section E on page 9) and then importing the data
back into the speaker.
27. Ring Cadence
The Ring Cadence can be programmed to one of four different cadences. Factory Setting: Normal Ring
Normal Ring (single ring: 2 seconds ON, 4 seconds OFF)
Double Ring (double ring: 1 second ON, 0.5 second OFF, 1 second ON, 3.5 seconds OFF)
Short-Short-Long (triple ring: 0.5 second ON, 0.5 second OFF, 0.5 second ON, 0.5 second OFF, 1 second ON, 3 seconds OFF)
Short-Long-Short (triple ring: 0.5 second ON, 0.5 second OFF, 1 second ON, 0.5 second OFF, 0.5 second ON, 3 seconds OFF)

18
32. Unit Firmware
If new PSA-IP firmware is available, after opening the programming software a pop up window will ask if you would
like to update firmware. Another way to update is accomplished by clicking the speaker firmware “Update Unit” button.
You can then browse to the folder that contains the HEX file for updating the unit’s firmware. This method is typically
only used when Viking Technical Support has sent you updated firmware.
33. Import / Export
The Import / Export feature is useful for backing up all the PSA-IP’s programming or for importing programming when
installing multiple units with a majority of the same programming.
Clicking on the “Clear Speaker Settings” button in programming will reset all of the Programming Features back to
their factory default settings. NOTE: This command will not change or reset your IP settings.
34. Clear Speaker Settings
Clicking on the “Clear IP Settings” will reset all of the IP settings back to their factory default settings. This also clears
paging Group settings and Addresses. NOTE: This will not affect any speaker or paging settings.
35. Clear IP Settings
36. Diagnostics
The Diagnostics section in the Viking IP Programming can be used to test the functionality of the optional RC-4A relays.
31. IP Firmware
Update IP is currently not available. The ability to update IP firmware will be made available in a later release of Viking
IP Programming software. If an IP firmware update is needed, Viking Technical Support will assist in updating the IP
firmware.

Operation
A. Inbound SIP Calls
How inbound SIP calls are handled depends on the Inbound Call Mode selected (see Programming section 35), the
current programming for Night Ring Timed Operation if enabled (see Programming section 17), the current time of day
and day of week. If Night Ring Timed Operation is disabled and the Inbound Call Mode is set to Auto Answer, the PSA-
IP will automatically answer inbound calls, provides a Pre Page Alert Tone if enabled and allows paging through the
unit. When the Inbound Call Mode is set to Auto Answer – Secure, the PSA-IP auto answers inbound calls but the
party must dial the Access Code before they are allowed to page from the unit. The Inbound Call Mode also has options
that allow the unit to output a loud ring on any inbound SIP calls. The Ring option outputs a fixed volume ring and is
adjustable (see Programming section 28). If Night Ring Timed Operation is enabled and an inbound SIP call is received
between the programmed start and stop times and the current day is a programmed active day, the unit will automatically
output a loud ring instead of following the Inbound Call Mode programming. This allows for loud ring at certain times of
the day/days of the week and paging all other times/days of the week.
B. Multicast
The PSA-IP can be set to one of two modes for multcasting, Standard or Polycom. Polycom is only used when Polycom
IP phones are used. To change to Polycom multicast, go to the “Paging” tab and change the “Multicast Page Type” to
Polycom.
Standard Multicast Paging (Factory Setting)
Up to 10 multicast paging groups can be programmed into each unit and each group is assigned a priority level allowing
simultaneous arriving multicast pages to be handled based on importance. Low priority groups are often used for low
priority streams like background music and high priority groups are used for high priority streams such as emergency
messages. Group 0 is the highest priority, and Group 9 is the lowest. A timeout limit can be set and either enabled or
disabled for each multicast group. The volume of each group can be programmed and SIP Paging can be assigned
either higher or lower priority than all or some of the multicast groups (see Programming section 10).
Polycom Multicast Paging
Polycom phones send multicast audio to a specific IP address and port. A total of 25 groups can be used and groups
1 through 24 can individually be enabled/disabled in each PSA-IP. Group 25 is always enabled, as group 25 is generally
used for emergency broadcasts. Any multicast page made from a Polycom phone (on the same LAN) to the
programmed IP address, port and to an enabled group will play through the PSA-IP speaker. The priority of Polycom
sources ranges from group 1 (lowest) to group 25 (highest). SIP Paging can be assigned either higher or lower priority
than Polycom group 1 through 24 multicast paging (see the table in programming section 11 for Polycom paging
priorities). Multicast page timeout can be enabled/disabled globally for groups 1 through 24 (there is no timeout for
group 25) and the length of the Multicast page timeout is adjustable. The volume for Polycom multicast is set globally
for all groups.

C. Operation Commands (Relay Mode must be set to “Door Strike”)
Feature Tone Tone
Command Description
Activate
Ext Relay
QQ or
___ ___ Momentarily activate ext relay (1 or 2 digits, factory set to QQ).
Un-Latch
Ext Relay Q0Un-latch* (deactivate) the ext relay.
Latch
Ext Relay Q1Latch* (continuously activate) the ext relay.
Disconnect # Disconnects or forces the speaker to hang up.
* NOTE: Latching commands must be enabled in programming.
The following commands can be entered after the PSA-IP answers an inbound SIP call, when the Inbound Call Mode
is set to auto answer. After the unit auto answers the call, one beep will be heard if Pre Page Alert Tone is enabled. If
the Access Code has been disabled, you can now enter the Operation Commands listed below. If an Access Code has
been programmed, enter the Access Code digits. Once the correct code has been entered, two beeps will be heard
and you can now enter the Operation Commands listed below.
Troubleshooting
If the unit cannot register with the programmed SIP server, the “Status” LED will blink on and off every two seconds until
communication is restored. This alerts a potential user of a problem with the device that will prevent SIP calls from being
accepted.
