Programming Features

Unit Name

Up to a 31 character unit name can be assigned to the PB-3-IP Phone being programmed.

SIP Server

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 each.

Peer to Peer Settings

When set to the Peer to Peer mode, a SIP server is not used. The PB-3-IP will register to itself. Applications for the Peer to Peer mode are very limited, as the PB-3-IP is only able to call other IP phones or SIP devices that are on the same LAN. The PB-3-IP can not call analog extensions, digital phone extensions, telephone numbers that are outside the phone system or another handsfree Viking IP device in this mode (see note below). To use the unit in the Peer to Peer mode, change the drop-down in the “SIP Server /  Peer to Peer Settings” from “Server” to “Peer to Peer”, a Username must be assigned (can be any alpha/numeric string up to 31 characters) and the unit should be programmed with a static IP address. Here is an example to show how the calling process works:

| PB-3-IP| Destination IP Phone
---|---|---
IP Address| 192.168.210.1| 192.168.210.3
Extension Number| N/A| 200
Username| Viking1| N/A

PB-3-IP calling the IP phone – you populate the first phone number field with 200@192.168.210.3 (the extension number you are trying to call + @ + the IP address of the extension you are calling). The IP phone calling the PB-3-IP – a button on the IP phone is configured to dial Viking1@192.168.210.1 (the Username assigned in the PB-3-IP +  @ + the IP address of the PB-3-IP).
Note : A Viking handsfree IP Device calling another Viking handsfree IP Device is not recommended.

Outbound Proxy

If your SIP provider requires an outbound proxy IP address enter it in the Outbound Proxy field. If the outbound proxy is not required leave this field blank.

Authentication ID

If your SIP provider requires an Authentication ID, enter it in the Authentic. ID field. If Authentication ID is not required, leave this field blank.

Register Fails (No Action, Re-Resolve or Alternate Server)

In the event the registration with the server is lost, you can program the unit to take no action, re-resolve using the current SIP server or register to an alternate SIP server.  If an alternate server is not available, the Re- resolve option provides the best reliability. If switching to an alternate server is desired, enter the IP address of the alternate server in the field to the right of the Register Fails drop-down box. The same SIP credentials are used when registering with the alternate SIP server. 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. Note: A majority of the features below can also be Touch-Tone (In-Band DTMF) programmed, see DOD 949.

Emergency Phone Numbers

Note: Up to 79 digits can be stored in each of the 5-speed dial phone number positions.
The number programmed in the first location under “Emergency Numbers” is the telephone or extension number that is dialed when the panic button is pressed. Additional numbers (if programmed) will be dialed when there is no answer and the Dial Next No. on Ring No Answer feature is enabled. The PB-3-IP Phone will also detect busy and move on (Dial Next The number on Busy Enabled). The PB-3-IP Phone will cycle through the programmed Emergency numbers until answered.

Security Code

The security code allows the user/installer to program the PB-3-IP phone. Programming can be done by way of a PC and Viking IP Programming software or limited programming can be done using the touch-tone program mode. If the security code of the PB-3-IP is still set to default (845464), the PC software will not require entering a security code to connect to the phone. It is recommended, however, that the factory set security code be changed. Factory Setting: 845464 Note: The security code must be 6 digits and cannot include a Q or a #.

ID Number:

The ID Number (1 – 6 digits) is used by emergency personnel to identify the location of the caller and is given out when the receiving party presses a Q. This ID number is transmitted as In-Band DTMF or RFC 2833. This can be cleared out by leaving the field blank. Factory Setting: 987654 (RFC 2833 format)

Access Code

The Access Code adds basic security on inbound calls in the Auto Answer – Secure or Auto Answer Inbound Call Modes. It is useful for installations where only select personnel are allowed to monitor audio or control the relay of the PB-3-IP. The code can be 1 to 6 digits in length, can not contain a “Q” or “#” or match the numbers used for the security code. Once programmed, simply call the PB-3-IP phone, the unit will automatically answer the line and output 1 beep. You can then enter the programmed 1 to 6 digit Access Code and 2 beeps will be heard. Communication with the PB-3-IP is now established and/or touch- tone commands can be dialed to control the relay. On outbound calls from the PB-3-IP, the Access Code does not need to be entered prior to monitoring the PB-3-IP’s audio or controlling the relay. If however, emergency personnel may be calling back to the PB-3-IP, they will need to enter the Access Code or the call will be dropped after 10 seconds. Information about the requirement to enter a valid Access Code could be included in the PB-3-IP’s voice announcement to remind emergency personnel to enter the Access Code. Factory Setting: Disabled

Audio File (optional)
The PB-3-IP Emergency Announcement can be uploaded with any user-edited WAV file. See “WAV File Guidelines” below. Alternatively, the announcement can be recorded via a telephone call (See section 12 below).

WAV File Guidelines:****

will be loaded.
4.| When saved, wave files will be converted to 8KHz, mono, 16 bit, PCM.
5.| The internal flash memory can hold up to 28 seconds of recorded audio.

Note: Applications such as Sound Forge, Audacity, and Windows Sound Recorder can be used to create the WAV files.

Recording Emergency Announcement from a Phone****

Step 1.| Call into the PB-3-IP with a Touch-Tone phone and access programming by entering the security code (845464 is the factory default).
---|---
Step 2.| Enter 4, wait for the tone and then begin recording (28 seconds of record time is available).
Step 3.| Enter # to stop the recording. Playback (for reviewing) is automatic.
Step 4.| Enter 5 to review the announcement again.
Step 5.| If you choose to not use a voice announcement, enter *3 to clear the recording.

Example: “Emergency, Hudson High School classroom 243 needs assistance. Press the asterisk (*) key on your telephone to hear this announcement again. Press “#” key for two-way communications. ”

Relay Internal / External

With the relay set to “Internal”, the PB-3-IP Phone will activate its onboard relay for door strike/gate control. The Relay should be set to “External” for higher security installations when using a Viking remote model RC-4A relay controller to activate the door strike/gate controller (see DOD 582). Factory Setting: Internal 

Relay Mode

Door Strike Mode. When programmed for Door Strike Mode the relay will momentarily activate for the preprogrammed relay activation time after detecting the correct relay activation command (one or two-digit touch-tone) from the called party.
Outbound Call Mode. When programmed for Outbound Call Mode the relay will activate continuously for the duration of any outbound call from the Emergency/Entry phone. This mode is useful for activating strobe lights for Emergency VoIP phones.
Inbound/Outbound Call Mode. When programmed for Inbound/Outbound Call Mode the relay will activate continuously for the duration of any inbound or outbound call to or from the Emergency/Entry phone. This mode is useful for turning on IR floodlights, VoIP phones with cameras, etc.
Doorbell Mode. When programmed for Doorbell Mode the relay will momentarily activate the relay for the preprogrammed relay activation time on any outbound call from the Emergency/Entry phone. This mode is useful for activating a door chime, etc. When activating door chimes, a 0.5 – 1 second relay activation time is recommended.
Ring Mode. When programmed for Ring Mode the relay will continuously activate when the PB-3-IP’s extension is
called. This mode is useful for activating a Viking model SL-2 strobe light, etc.
Ring Flash Mode. When programmed for Ring Flash Mode the relay will momentarily turn on and off in a 400ms on/off cadence when the PB-3-IP’s extension is called. This mode is useful for activating a Viking LPL-1 Remote Visual Indicator, etc.
Alarm Mode: When programmed in Alarm Mode the relay will activate continuously while the unit is powered and registered to the SIP server. In the event, the unit loses power and/or SIP registration the relay will turn off, which can be used to signal an alarm device. Note: Alarm mode cannot be used with external relay control (RC-4A).
Factory Setting: Outbound Call Mode

Relay Activation Command

The one or two-digit code stored in the Relay Activation 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 doorstrike, mag-lock, gate controller, or other device. The code can contain the characters 0 – 9, # or Q. The code cannot match a relay latching command (1, 0). The code must be entered while the remote phone is communicating with the Speaker phone. Factory Setting: QQ

Relay Activation Time

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

Relay Buzz Volume

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 entry phone 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. Factory Setting: 3

Relay Latch Commands

When set to “Enabled” the Operation Commands (Q0 to Q1) to Un-Latch or Latch the relay are enabled. These can be entered on an 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

Alternating Switch Action

With Alternate Switch Action Enabled the Panic Button alternately connects and disconnects calls. With Alternate Switch Action Disabled the Panic Button connects calls only.  Pressing the button again after the call has been initiated will not terminate the call. Factory Setting: Disabled

Speaker Mode

The Speaker Mode can be set to one of the following three modes. Factory Setting: OFF/Silent Monitoring Mode OFF/Silent Monitoring Mode: In the “OFF / Silent  Monitor” mode the speaker is disabled at all times. However, the speaker can be enabled after communication has been established by entering the touch-tone command “#”. The speaker will remain on for the duration of the call.
ON: In the “ON” mode the speaker is enabled during In-bound and Out-bound calls.
OFF Until Answered: In the “OFF Until Answered” mode the speaker will remain silent during dialing and will not turn on until the called party has answered.

Speaker Volume

The Speaker volume can be set from 0 – 9, 0 = lowest volume setting, 9 = highest volume setting. Adjusting this will set the volume level for incoming/outgoing Phone calls.  Factory Setting: 5

Ring Volume

When set to Ring or Ring with AGC, The PB-3-IP Phone will output a loud ring when it is called. The level can be adjusted from 0 – 9. Factory Setting: 5

Microphone Volume / Automatic Noise Cancelling Mode

The microphone volume can be set from 1 to 9, 1 = lowest volume setting, 9 = highest volume setting. Alternatively, the microphone can be placed in the “Auto” Automatic  Noise Cancelling mode. With the mic in the Auto mode, when background noise increases, the mic gain will automatically decrease. When background noise decreases the mic gain will automatically increase. The Auto mode is useful in applications where the background noise level can change drastically. Factory Setting: 5

Talk / Listen to Delay (VOX)

This feature selects switching time between talk and listen-to modes (VOX switching time). The Talk/Listen Delay can be programmed from 0.1 – 0.9 seconds. Factory Setting: 0.5  seconds

In-Band Audio Call Progress

The In-Band Audio Call Progress Detection can be set to enabled or disabled. In-Band Audio Call Progress detection should be enabled when the PB-3-IP is calling a number outside the VoIP phone system or is being used with a cloud- based SIP provider. In these cases, the PB-3-IP relies on In-Band analog audio for ringback or busy detection.
Factory
Setting: Enabled.

In-Band Audio Detect Sensitivity

The In-Band Audio Detection level (Sensitivity) can be set from 1 – 9, 1 = minimum setting, 9 = highest setting. Increasing or decreasing the sensitivity may be required when the In-band Audio Call Progress feature is enabled and the PB-3-IP is relying on In-Band analog audio detection. Factory Setting: 5

Repeat Announcement Option

The PB-3-IP Phone can be programmed to play the announcement from 1 – 9 times or to continuously repeat the announcement every 6 seconds until a Touch-Tone Q is detected from the distant party. The Panic Button LED will turn on automatically after the announcement has stopped repeating. Factory Setting: 1 (play the announcement 1 time)

Lap Counter

With the lap counter disabled, if the PB-3-IP Phone is programmed to dial the next number on ring-no-answer and/or busy signal, the PB-3-IP Phone will continuously call its programmed phone numbers forever until the call is answered. The lap counter is a programmable counter that determines how many times the PB-3-IP Phone will cycle through its list of up to 5 Emergency phone numbers before it stops the dialing process and hangs up. When all of the programmed phone numbers have been dialed, the lap counter is incremented and the dialing process repeats. When the lap counter has been met, the dialing process stops and the PB-3-IP Phone hangs up. Factory Setting: Disabled

Call Length Timeout

This feature selects the maximum length of time that calls can be connected. Programmable in increments of 1 minute up to a maximum of 9 minutes or disabled. With the call length disabled, the PB-3-IP Phone must rely on a call-ended signal or other methods of disconnect detection. Factory Setting: Disabled

Inbound Call Mode

The Inbound Call Mode determines how the PB-3-IP Phone handles incoming SIP calls. One option is to auto-answer a SIP call for silent monitoring or two- way communication. The PB-3-IP Phone can also generate a loud ring sound from the speaker. Alternatively, inbound calls can be disabled when using the PB-3-IP for Panic Button applications, and the PB-3-IP will only make outbound calls. Factory Setting: Auto Answer Disabled – Inbound SIP calls are not allowed.
Auto Answer – Inbound SIP calls are auto answered on the first ring. This can also be used for Silent Monitoring by changing the Speaker Mode to ‘OFF/Silent Monitor” (See  Programming section 20). For more security use the Auto Answer Secure Mode. When Auto Answer mode is used, the announcement can “be listened to” (or repeated) by dialing a “Q” on an inbound call. If a “#” is dialed during playback, the PB-3-IP will stop the announcement and enable the speaker. If an access code is programmed and someone calls in, the access code can be dialed to monitor audio or control the relay of the PB-3-IP. The PB-3-IP will hang up if the access code is not dialed within 10 seconds. Auto Answer Secure – In the “Auto Answer – Secure” mode, the phone will automatically answer an incoming call and output 1 beep but will not go into two-way voice mode. After the beep is heard, you will have 10 seconds to enter the pre-programmed 1 – 6 digit Access Code (see Programming section 10). When the correct code is entered, 2 beeps  will be heard and the unit will enable the Two-Way Mode (mic and speaker audio) or Silent Monitor Mode (mic only), depending on the Speaker Mode selected. After the correct Access Code is entered, any of the “Operation Commands” can be used (see Operation section C), when the Relay Mode is set to Door Strike. Note: If the wrong  Access Code is entered or more than 10 seconds have elapsed, the phone will output 3 beeps and disconnect.
Ring: In the “Ring” mode the speakerphone 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. The call can then be answered by momentarily pressing the Panic button. Ring with AGC: In the  “Ring with AGC” mode the speakerphone 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. The phone will automatically increase or decrease the ring volume based on background ambient noise. The call can then be answered by momentarily pressing the Panic button.

Ring Cadence

The Ring cadence can be programmed to one of 4 different cadences. Factory Setting: Normal Ring
Normal Ring (single ring, 2 seconds on 4 seconds off) factory setting
Double Ring (double ring, 1 second on 0.5 seconds off 1 second on 3.5 seconds off)
Short-Short-Long (triple ring, 0.5 seconds on 0.5 seconds off 1 second on 3 seconds off)
Short-Long-Short (triple ring, 0.5 seconds on 0.5 seconds off 1 second on 0.5 seconds off 0.5 seconds on 3 seconds off)

Dial Next Number on Ring No Answer

If enabled and a ring-no-answer is detected, the PB-3-IP Phone will dial the next programmed Emergency Phone number after the programmed amount of rings. A momentary press of the Panic button will dial the first programmed Emergency number. Factory Setting: 7 (will redial after 7 rings)

Dial Next Number on Busy

If enabled and a busy is detected, the PB-3-IP phone will dial the next programmed Emergency Phone number. A momentary press of the Panic button will dial the first programmed Emergency number. Factory Setting: Enabled

Send ID Number as

The I.D. number can be transmitted as RFC 2833 or as In-Band DTMF. Factory Setting: RFC 2833

Panic Button LED Mode

The Panic Button LED on the PB-3-IP can be programmed to one of four different modes.
Factory Setting: Emergency Phone Mode
OFF Mode: Useful for silent monitoring applications. In this mode, the Panic Button LED will not light during normal operation. It will only light (blink) if it cannot register  with the programmed SIP server or while manually resetting all network parameters to factory default.
Entry Phone Mode: The Panic Button LED will remain ON in the idle state, turn off while the button is pressed, blink during dialing, light steady when the call is answered, then turn OFF momentarily when the call is completed. The panic Button LED will also turn off when the announcement is playing.
Emergency Phone Mode: The Panic Button LED will remain OFF in the idle state but will light steady during an inbound call. During an outbound call, the Panic Button  LED will turn on while the button is pressed, blink during dialing, light steady when the call is connected, then turn off when the call is completed. The Panic Button LED will also turn off when the announcement is playing.
Emergency Phone Outbound Only: The Panic Button LED will remain OFF in the idle state and stays off during an inbound call. During an outbound call, the Panic Button  LED will turn on while the button is pressed, blink during dialing, light steady when the call is connected, then turn off when the call is completed. The Panic Button LED will also turn off when the announcement is playing. This mode is useful for silent monitoring on inbound calls.

Panic Button LED Control

During outbound SIP calls the Panic Button LED can be programmed to light automatically when the called party has answered or only light after the called party has entered a touch-tone “Q”. Factory Setting: Automatic

Mute Current / Next Alarm

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 manually disabled with the Panic Button (see PC Programming section B). The alarm beeps can also be permanently disabled. See  Programming section 38 .

Permanent Alarm Mute

Selecting “Alarm Tones Disabled” will mute all alarm tones indefinitely. To re-enable alarm tones select “Alarm Tones Enabled”. Factory Setting: Alarm Tones Enabled

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.

Unit Firmware

If new PB-3-IP Phone firmware is available, after opening the programming software a pop-up window will ask if you would like to update the firmware. Another way to update is accomplished by clicking the Unit 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.

Import / Export

The Import / Export feature is useful for backing up all the PB-3-IP Phone’s programming or for importing programming when installing multiple units with a majority of the same programming.

Clear Phone Settings

Clicking on the “Clear Phone 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.

Clear IP Settings

Clicking on the “Clear IP Settings” will reset all of the IP settings back to their factory default settings. Note: This will not affect any phone settings.

Diagnostics

The Diagnostics section in the Viking IP Programming can be used to test the functionality of the mic, speaker, and onboard relay. Note: This will not work when relay mode is set to external or Alarm.

Operation

A. “Panic” Button
When the “Panic” button is pressed, the PB-3-IP phone dials a pre-programmed telephone or extension number. The Panic Button LED may momentarily flash during dialing,  depending on the LED Mode selected (see Programming section 35). In the event the first telephone or extension number is busy or there is a ring-no-answer, the unit can be programmed to call additional phone numbers. The unit then cycles through up to 5 pre-programmed numbers until the call is answered. When the call is answered, the digital voice announcement will automatically play to identify the location of the emergency call. The PB-3-IP is factory programmed to play the announcement once and then automatically light the Panic Button LED to show that hands-free communication to personnel is established. The “Q” key will send the I.D. number (if programmed) and play the announcement again. The distant party will know the location of the emergency call by either the voice announcement, the caller ID information or by decoding the touch-tone I.D. number. When the Speaker Mode is set to the “Off Until Answered” mode, the speaker will be muted until the call is answered. When the Speaker Mode is set to  “Off/Silent Monitor”, the speaker will be muted until the party that answers the call dials a “#”. When the call has been answered and the Relay Mode is set to Door Strike (see  Programming section 14), any of the Operation Commands can be entered (see Operation section C).
B. Inbound Calls
How inbound SIP calls are handled depends on the Inbound Call Mode selected (see Programming section 30). The PB-3-IP can answer automatically, emit ringing through the speaker and allow users to manually answer by pressing the Panic Button or inbound calls can be disabled. If the Inbound Call Mode is set to Auto Answer or Auto Answer –  Secure, the PB-3-IP will automatically answer inbound calls. If no Access Code is programmed (default), the PB-3-IP will provide 2 beeps. If an Access Code has been programmed (the Auto Answer – Secure mode always requires an Access Code), 1 beep will be heard upon an answer, 2 beeps will be heard following entry of the Access Code and if the correct Access Code is not entered within 10 seconds, the PB-3-IP will hang up. After receiving the 2 beeps, if the Speaker Mode is set to either “OFF Until  Answered” or “ON” modes, you will have two-way communication with the PB-3-IP. If the Speaker Mode is set to “Off/Silent Monitor” (default), microphone audio will be heard allowing you to silently monitor the PB-3-IP or you may break into two-way communication by entering a touch-tone “#”. Pressing the “Q” key will send the I.D. number  (if programmed) and play the voice announcement once. The Inbound Call Mode also has options that allow the PB-3-IP to output a loud ring on any inbound calls.  The Ring option outputs a programmable fixed volume ring. The Ring with AGC option makes the PB-3-IP vary the volume of the loud ring based on the background noise around the unit. When the Panic Button is pressed (to manually answer a ringing call), the PB-3-IP will immediately go into two-way communication regardless of the Speaker  Mode selected.
C. Operation Commands Relay Mode must be set to “Door Strike”
The following commands can be entered after answering an outbound call from the PB-3-IP or on an inbound call to the unit when the Inbound Call Mode is set to Auto  Answer or Auto Answer – Secure. If the Access Code has been disabled (Auto Answer mode only), you will hear 2 beeps when the unit answers and you can now enter the  Operation Commands listed below. If an Access Code has been programmed, you will hear 1 beep when the unit answers and you must 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.

enables two-way communication.

Send ID and Play Message| *| Send I.D. number (if programmed) and plays the announcement.

• Note : Latching commands must be enabled (*6) in programming.

Troubleshooting

If the unit cannot register with the programmed SIP server, the Panic Button LED will blink on and off every two seconds, and three error beeps will be heard every 30 seconds until communication is restored. This alerts a potential user of a problem with the device that will prevent an emergency phone call from being made.
You may silence the error beeps, per instance, by pressing and holding the Panic Button for 5 seconds (see PC Programming section B) or by clicking the “Mute Alarm Until  Next Failure” button in the Viking IP Programming Software (see Programming section 37). The error beeps automatically re-enable once the unit is registered, to alert of any new problems that arise.
