IP Station works in AlphaCom mode only

Some IP DualDisplay stations, IP Desktop stations and IP Substations have left the factory in a certain test mode, not letting them work in other modes than AlphaCom mode.

Identifying the error

• After loading factory default settings to the station, the station display shows “No AlphaCom conn.”

After loading Factory Default the station should be in PULSE mode, and the display should show “Not configured”. If the display shows “No AlphaCom conn.” it means that the station is still in AlphaCom mode.

• You can change the mode of operation in the stations web page to SIP or PULSE, but after saving the settings and rebooting the station, it will return to "AlphaCom" mode.
