Section 3 Setting up Stations
Step 3.1 Setting up Door Stations
Door stations have a single call button that will Speed
Dial a master when pressed.
Switch to the Station (or IP Station) tab and for every
door station select the Station No. from the Station selection
area at the top. Under the Speed Dialing tab there is a Master
Station No. field, enter the master station’s Station number
that door station should speed dial.
Step 3.2 Setting up Master Stations
Master stations have many configuration settings, but
the basics are Incoming call mode and Group call.
Switch to the Station (or IP Station) tab and for each
master select the Station No. from the Station selection area.
Under the Function Settings (or Function Settings2 for an IP
master) change the Incoming Call mode to Continuous Call,
which will allow the End User the option of taking the call
when they are ready or just ignoring it.
Group call will allow other master stations to ring when
this station is called by a door station or another master.
Specify any masters that should also ring when this station is
called.
Section 4
Uploading and Testing
This section covers saving the settings, uploading them to the
equipment, and providing the settings and password to the
customer.
Step 4.1 Save the settings file in the default location
inside the AN program folder. A dialog box will ask for a
System name and a password.
Step 4.2 Upload the settings to all devices by opening
the Configuration drop down menu and choosing Upload. This
will bring up a message box that says Uploading settings file as
it attempts to upload to every Equipment No.
If any IP address reports that it failed to upload
proceed to the troubleshooting section.
Step 4.3 Provide the system’s folder with all
configuration files and the password to the customer.
By default, all AN configurations are saved in the folder
C:\Program Files\AIPHONE\AN-8000\ and in a folder named
for the System name given when the File->Save option is
chosen from the System Settings menu or an upload is first
attempted. This will also create .cfg files for each Equipment
No. starting with 001.cfg.
Step 4.4 Test the system by pressing call buttons on
door stations and answering at the master, and by dialing door
stations and other masters. Proceed to Section 5 for advanced
features or Section 6 for troubleshooting.
Note on Door Release: To wire up door release, follow the diagram on
page 113 or 118 section 3-25 or 3-30. Any master in communication
with the door may press the key combination Transfer + Function + 0 to
activate the open collector on the door station. No programming is
necessary to enable this feature.
