PrisCom station - Configuration
From Zenitel Wiki
This article describes how to configure the PrisCom stations 1007061000 and 1007063000.
Contents
Software requirements
- AMC software v.9.09 or later
- AlphaPro 9.21 or later
Decide the configuration starting point
The station properties are programmed from AlphaPro. One can either start with a new AlphaPro database, or one can use a preconfigured AlphaPro database, which includes all neccessary event handler programming for advanced features of the PrisCom stations.
Basic features: Start with a new AlphaPro database and fill in all parameters from scratch.
"Basic features" are:
- Call Button
- Program Step button (without displaying selected channel)
Advanced features: When using the advanced features of the station, it is highly recommended to use a preconfigured AlphaPro database as a starting point. The advanced features is depending on Event Handler programming, and a lot of work is saved by using an already preconfigured database.
"Advanced features" includes support for:
- Light button
- External key switch
- Corridor lamp and/or group lamp
- Display for selected program channel
- Tamper alarm and Power failure
- Scream alarm
- AlphaVision
Basic feature programming
The 7061 and 7063 uses “Two tone DAK signaling", not regular DAK signaling
- In Users & Stations -> User Preferences set DAK signaling to "(3) Two tone signaling w/ack“
- In Users & Stations -> DAK assign numbers to the panel buttons:
- DAK 2 = Call button, normally "I 623 I xxx", where xxx is the number of the Guard Station
- DAK 3 = Program Step button, normally "I 790" (not available on the 100 7061 000)
Advanced feature programming
Copy the PrisCom database to the AlphaPro Database folder. Start AlphaPro and select the PrisCom database.
Guard station configuration
- In Users & Stations -> UDP, include the station in UDP 1
- In Users & Stations -> Group, include the station in a “Guard group”. This is required even with a single guard station
Prison station configuration
- In Users & Stations -> UDP, include the station in UDP 2
- In Users & Stations -> UDP, enter the “Guard group” index number in the Used Defined Parameter field. This is the target for calls from this station.
Notes on DAK programming:
- No DAK programming is required
- The event handler programming in the PrisCom database will automatically set “Two tone DAK signaling”, and program the DAK’s to point to physical station 500 and 501
- Physical station 500 and 501 are preconfigured with PrisCom Station DAK keys
Upload to the AlphaCom
- After the PrisCom stations are connected to the AlphaCom, upload the configuration to the AlphaCom by selecting “SendAll” from AlphaPro
- When the upload is finished, reset the AlphaCom. Wait for the exchange to start up, then reset once more. This special dual reset procedure is only required after adding new PrisCom stations to the system.
- Now do a “GetAll” to update AlphaPro with the correct settings
Description of the PrisCom database
The Prison Stations 7061 and 7063 are mainly operating by sending a "Two tone" DAK digits to the exchange for input events, and receiving display data messages in response. These Prison Stations are the only stations types which are using the "double-tone" DAK signalling. The event handler programming in the PrisCom database will automatically set the Prison stations to use “Two tone DAK signaling”.
Display messages are used to e.g. turn lamps on, set alarm preparation mode during guard presence, or control other features. These messages are mostly defined as commands in the AlphaCom event handler. To change functionality one will have to change these commands or add/remove/change events.
DAK Keys on physical numbers 500 and 501
The Priscom stations have common DAK key programming. The DAK configuration is programmed on physical number 500 and 501, and the event handler programming in the PrisCom database will upon reset cause the AlphaCom to automatically program the DAK’s of the Prison Stations to point to these physical numbers 500 and 501. The DAK table of the physical numbers 500 and 501 are preconfigured according to the table below.
DAK keys 1-10 is from physical number 500, and DAK key 11-20 is from physical number 501.
