PrisCom station - Configuration

Tamper and Vandal Proof Station - 1007061000

100 7063 000 station

This article describes the configuration of the PrisCom stations 1007061000 and 1007063000.

Software requirements

• AMC software v.9.09 or later
• AlphaPro 9.21 or later

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, a preprogrammed AlphaPro database should be used as a starting point. The advanced features is depending a lot 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
  • DAK 3 = Program button (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

• 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. The special dual reset procedure is only required after adding new prison stations to the system.
• Now do a “GetAll” to update AlphaPro with the correct settings
• Later changes of system settings only require “SendChanges”
