VIKING DLE-200B Two Way Phone Line Simulator User Manual

Two Way Phone Line Simulator Ideal for Ringdown Applications and Demos

The DLE-200B Line Simulator produces two way communication between standard telecom products such as modems, fax machines, Key Systems, PABX’s and standard single line telephones. The Line Simulator can also provide sales people with a cost effective, easy to use method of conducting on site demonstrations, eliminating the need to locate phone lines and disrupt the customer’s phone service.

Installation and Applications

The DLE-200B is designed to initiate a call when either port goes off-hook. The port that comes off hook first will  receive 2 seconds of dial tone. The other port will then begin ringing until answered (factory default programming). The “BUSY” LED will light when either device port is off-hook and will turn off during the duration of the CPC break and/or when both device ports are on-hook. Note: Dial tone and/or ringdown can be disabled, see Programming sections A-C. The following sections A-G show installation of various applications.

IMPORTANT: Electronic devices are susceptible to lightning and power station electrical surges from both the AC outlet and the telephone line. It is recommended that a surge protector be installed to protect against such surges.

Demonstrations (Figure 1)

Easily demonstrate the features of fax machines, answering systems, feature phones, modems, key systems, or nearly any analog telecom device. The DLE-200B eliminates the need to locate phone lines and disrupt the phone service during demonstration. Demonstrations can be complete and comprehensive but non- disruptive.

Note: In fax/modem applications it may be necessary to reduce the volume level by setting DIP switch 3 to the ON position (see Programming, section A).This may increase data speed and help eliminate data transmission errors. For modem speeds faster than 28.8 kps, use Viking model DLE-300, DOD 607.

Ringdown Applications (Figure 2)

When used for ringdown applications, the DLE-200B eliminates the need for station circuits, phone systems or C.O. lines. This application is ideal for courtesy phones, infra and inter-office communications, warehouse and elevator phones.

Prison Phone Applications (Figure 4)

For prison applications, the DLE-200B saves the need for dedicated phone
lines. Prisoners can converse with visitors phone to phone without dial tone or ringing. Note: Internal dipswitch 1 must be ON, enabling the ring down and dial tone off mode (see Programming section B ).

Press Box / Coaching Applications (Figure 5)

In professional sporting events, the teams have coaches on the field and coaches in the pressbox. A DLE-200B allows them phone to phone communication without having to install phone lines throughout a stadium.

Golf Applications (Figure 6)

In this application, your food can be ready when you come in from golfing. A Viking handsfree phone installed on the 9th and 18th holes will allow golfers to call the clubhouse restaurant through a DLE-200B, and place an order. When finished golfing, their orders will be ready. Example at right: Viking model E-10-EWP (DOD 210) with optional VE-5×5 backbox and VE-GNP (DOD 424) gooseneck pedestal.

Telco Product Programming Application (Figure 7)

In this application, installers and system programmers can use a DLE- 200B to access and program your telecom products without disrupting your phones. This is ideal for: security systems, security panels, phone systems, emergency phones, or any kind of telco/telecom product that is programmed via an analog phone line. For more information on Viking Emergency Phones, see DOD215.

Programming

Several features can be selected by changing the external DIP switch settings on the front of the DLE-200B, or by changing the internal DIP switch settings. The DLE-200B is shipped in factory default programming for standard ringdown applications.

Important: The DLE-200B components are sensitive to static electricity. Personnel and the work area should be grounded before handling.
