Networked Paging Station-1 - Setup
Setup can be done with or without the unit connected to a functional AudiaFLEX system. To enter setup, turn the Scroll Wheel while
holding down all three buttons (Cancel, Enter, & Push-To-Talk). An icon in the lower-left corner of the LCD panel indicates that pressing
the Cancel button will return the unit to normal operation. Some setup can instead be done via Device Maintenance in Audia
®
software.

Edit Station ID screen
To name the unit, scroll to the ID Tag icon and press the
Enter button. Use the Scroll Wheel and Enter button to
select the desired characters. Use the Cancel button to
exit from a selection or screen. This 'Station ID' must
match that of a corresponding block in the AudiaFLEX
design. More than one unit may be identified with the
same design block (same ID). Station IDs may instead
be assigned via software Device Maintenance.
Setup screen - Network icon
Edit Net Config screen
To edit the network configuration, scroll to the Network
icon and press Enter. The default setting (Automatic)
allows the unit to be configured dynamically. Use this
setting in all cases, except when adding CobraNet
®
to an
existing Ethernet network (not recommended). These
settings may instead be assigned via software Device
Maintenance.

To set password protection, scroll to the Key icon and

select the desired characters. Use the Cancel button to
exit from a selection or screen. During normal operation,
holding the Cancel button for 2 seconds will lock the unit,
and the user will be prompted for the Lock Code before
being given access. Lock Codes may instead be
assigned via software Device Maintenance.
Setup screen - Contrast icon
Edit LCD Contrast screen
To change the contrast of the LCD Panel, scroll to the
Contrast icon and press Enter. Use the Scroll Wheel and
Enter button to make adjustments. Use the Cancel
button to exit from a selection or screen.
Setup screen - Page Button icon
Edit Page Button Mode screen
To change the behavior of the Push-To-Talk button,
scroll to the Page Button icon and press Enter. Use the
Scroll Wheel and Enter button to make a selection. Use
the Cancel button to exit from a selection or screen. The
left icon (single arrow) indicates latching (push-on/push-
off) behavior. The right icon (double arrows) indicates
momentary (push-on/release-off) behavior.
Setup screen - Timeout icon
Edit Page Timeout screen
To assign or change a maximum paging duration, scroll
to the Timeout icon and press Enter. Use the Scroll
Wheel and Enter button to make a selection. Use the
Cancel button to exit from a selection or screen. The
Timeout range is from 5 seconds to 30 minutes, or none.
Page Timeout will automatically end prolonged paging,
regardless of whether it is due to latching or continued
momentary behavior of the Push-To-Talk button.
