Operational Features
Master Stations
Master stations have a complete 16 key dialing keypad and a 2-line by 16 character
LCD display.
Admin Call
Administrative Master
The E-MDS/E-MDSMG Administrative Masters can place and receive calls and
have all the same features as a conventional master. Up to eight administrative masters
can be associated to a digital switch (L Node). If night mode is disabled, additional
admin masters may be added in parallel ownership to any or all of the eight.
In addition to the basic master keypad, the administrative master station has eight
additional keys, seven of which are capable of being programmed to provide one-
touch selection of standard functions. The eighth key is dedicated to Tone Silence.
Handset Operation
LCD Display
Each master station has the capability to provide full-English phrase LCD display
of feature-in-progress including:
LED Indicators
LED indicators are provided to indicate the status of Admin type calls on E-MDS/E-MDSMG
and 4324 master stations. LEDs are provided to display call status (Routine and
Emergency), alert that there are multiple calls on the system (More Calls) and for
diagnostics (Diagnostic).
Name Directory
Placing a Call
Master stations are capable of calling any other station in the system by touch
dialing an extension number. When the calling party enters the extension, the
digits and called party directory name display on the integral LCD display of the
station. At the called party station, the number and directory name of the calling
party shall be displayed. After connecting, hands-free communication may begin
and both parties may converse naturally without pressing any buttons. Calls may
be cancelled by either party by pressing the X button, or by going on-hook.
Incompletely dialed calls will time-out in five seconds.
Programming
The system configuration for all stations may be programmed from a master
station or a PC using the ECHO-SFW Administration Program Software without
interruption to other calls in progress or control functions.
Remote Control
Volume Control
The volume for both voice and ring signal are independently adjusted by means of
digital volume keys on the station keypad. The keypad volume keys control the
volume for handset and hands-free operation.
Substations
Each substation call button places a call to a pre-programmed destination. It is
possible to program any number of substations to call the same master station.
Multi-button substations can place calls to several pre-programmed destinations.
Call destination and volume is set in program mode. Substations have the
capability to be programmed to place two types of calls, standard and admin.
Miscellaneous
Adaptable Extension Numbering
The station numbering plan is adaptable. Station extensions may be assigned two,
three, or four-digit numbers and will not affect wiring or physical installation. The
selection is made in global attributes using either ECHO-SFW Administration Program
Software, or by entering the installer mode programming from a master station.
The number of extension digits is programmable in global attributes under system
wide extensions. Each station must be assigned a unique extension number. Two,
three, and four-digit extensions can be assigned according to the table below:
Busy Indication
An LCD screen will display BUSY when a called station or link is in use. This is
also displayed when called station is in Do Not Disturb mode.
It is possible to transfer bi-directional serial data between the central exchange and
a PC computer workstation or PLC. The PC workstation or PLC touchscreen
functions in parallel with a dedicated master.
Calls to extensions that are not configured will display the called extension
number for four seconds before returning to idle.
Limits, Time-Out
Time-out limits can be set for automatic cancellation of functions such as an All
Call page.
Partitions
The exchange has 99 partitions. Stations in the same partition can communicate
with each other. Communication between stations in different partitions is
blocked. A station may be programmed to belong to any one of 99 partitions or
partition 0. A station in partition 0 may communicate with any partition. Partition
0 is usually reserved for an attendant position.
Pre-Announce Tone
Privacy
Stations may be preset to any of four modes of privacy for receiving calls. Stations
in non-private (automatic loudspeaking answer) and semi-private (manual answer)
mode both receive a preannounce tone and automatically connect when called; a
manual answer station microphone is muted until answered by keying T or going
off-hook. Stations in Full Privacy (ring) mode receive a ring tone and are
answered by pressing T or going off-hook. Stations in Do Not Disturb mode
appear busy to the calling party.
Private Conversation
Stations equipped with handsets may converse in full duplex, for privacy or in
noisy areas.
Call placed, connect, quit, and busy events are output in ASCII format, including
source and destination extension numbers. The optional ECHO-RTC Real Time Clock
provides date and time stamping of each event. A serial printer may be connected
to produce hard copies. A video display terminal (VDT) may be connected and
used to display exchange activity in real-time.
Restricted Access
Access to certain system functions such as Priority Break-In, All-Call paging, and
others can be limited to specific stations.
Standard Calls
Call Types
The ECHO 460 Intercom System is capable of placing two distinctive types of
calls, admin and standard.
Admin Calls
Admin calls are placed by substations only. Admin calls are automatically queued
on the system according to the time placed and priority level.
Admin calls have the following attributes:
Locking Calls
Locking calls must be cancelled at the originating station. Call types #1, 3, 5, 7 and
9 on the ECHO system are locking calls.
Non-Locking Calls
Non-locking calls are cancelled at the master station. Call types #0, 2, 4, 6, and 8
on the ECHO system are non-locking calls and are cancellable at the master
station.
Prioritization
Admin calls are prioritized according to the priority level of the call, and the time
the call was placed. Emergency level calls take priority over routine level calls,
regardless of the time they were placed on the system.
Time Placed
Admin calls are automatically queued by the system. Calls of the same priority
level are queued according to the time they are placed. When two or more calls of
the same priority level are all queued on the system, the first call placed will be the
first call answered if the attendant is auto answering calls.
Standard Calls
Standard calls are placed by master stations and have the following attributes:
Busy Stations
If attempting to place a standard call to a busy station, the LCD at the calling
station will read BUSY. Upon seeing that the called station is busy, the calling
party has the following available options:
Leaving a Message
Pressing 7 will leave a message at the busy station. The message will inform the
called party of the call attempt and will leave the extension of the party that left the
message. The user at the station where the message is displayed can press the Talk
button to connect to the party that left the message.
Camp On
If the called party is busy when a standard call is placed, the calling party can press
5 to camp-on to that line. A message will appear on the LCD of the called party
alerting of the camped-on call. When the called station is available, the camped-on
call will be connected automatically. Camped-on calls are prioritized according to
the time they are placed.
Preempt
The Preempt feature allows one station to break in to a busy station (see Figure 1.2
on page 1-24). To preempt a busy station, the calling party will press the Talk key.
Individual stations must be programmed with one of the pre-empt settings listed in
the table below:
Prioritization
Standard calls are given the highest level of priority. They supersede all admin
calls, regardless of the priority level assigned to a particular admin call. If admin
calls are currently held in queue by the system and a standard call is placed, the
admin calls will remain in the queue and the standard call will be answered ahead
of them.
1. Station 10 disconnects.
2. The connection between 11 and 12 is
reestablished automatically.
Exchange Architecture
The ECHO Series 460 Central Exchange utilizes an architecture consisting of
modular units or nodes, which permit exchange cabinets to be easily networked
(tie-lined). No additional equipment is required to network remotely located
exchange cabinets in certain configurations.
Each station is connected to the central exchange by a single, twisted pair of wires
in the star wiring configuration.
The capacity of the Series 460 Digital Central Exchange is expandable from eight
to 336 stations. Multiple exchanges may be interconnected for a maximum
capacity of 9072 stations.
L Nodes
Nodes that contain line cards are called L nodes. L nodes have a capacity of up to
six line cards, or 48 station lines. Each L node also contains one digital switch card
and one modem card. L nodes are numbered L001 through L189.
L Node Link
Networking L Nodes
M Nodes
Networking M Nodes
N & O Nodes
When an exchange contains more than two M nodes, they must be networked
using an N node. A single N node exchange supports a system capacity of 2352
station lines. Two N nodes may be networked with no additional equipment. An
exchange, which contains more than two N nodes is networked by using an O
node, which raises the maximum capacity of the system to 9072 station lines.

System Wiring
Refer to Equipment section for information on specific equipment field
termination.
Do not run system wiring for analog substations in common conduit or in close
proximity (12 inches minimum) with wiring for other systems. (AC power
distribution, fire alarm, entertainment or P.A. systems, etc.)
Two twisted pairs of a Cat-5 cable or better. Maximum distance 2000 feet (609m).
Refer to wiring diagrams starting on page 3-37. Refer to Exchange Cable
Installation Specifications numbers 2 & 4 above.
A single station can be connected to the central exchange line via fiber-optic cable.
The Cat. 4375 Fiber Optic Interface provides connection between a ECHO
station and the International Fiber Systems Modem Series D1000, or equal, to
achieve distances of up to 30 miles (49 km). Figure 3.33 on page 3-38 illustrates
fiber optic connection from a single station to the Cat. 4375 Fiber Optic Interface.
The metallic field wiring connections between the 4600 Series Central Exchange
and any ECHO intercom station are intended to be made on-premise with both
central exchange and its associated station(s) located within the same building.
When wiring extends outside the building in which the central exchange is
installed, the wiring must be protected from direct or indirect contact with
lightning, power lines or electrostatic discharge to protect equipment and
personnel.
Primary and secondary devices should be installed at the station and central
equipment sides to divert the surge energy to ground. Most large telephone
equipment supply distributors carry appropriate protection solutions. Surge
voltages should be clamped to less than 50 volts.
Alternately, ECHO intercom equipment may be interfaced with fiber optic lines
which offer immunity to off-premise hazards. See wiring diagram Figure 3.32 on
page 3-37 and Figure 3.33 on page 3-38.

2. Route each pair through the same slot in the fanning strip in its mated state.
Separate the conductors of each pair inside the fanning strip and place in the
appropriate quick clips.
3. Terminate each conductor using an impact tool or equivalent.
Keep the tool perpendicular to the clock when terminating the conductors.
Twisting of the tool while terminating can result in bent pins and subsequent
damage to the S66 block.
Extension Assignments
Connections for modems in all nodes are factory wired for centralized exchanges.
Each L node utilizes pair 25 and 50 for Modem wiring. The M node connections
will vary according to the size of the exchange. These factory wiring locations on
each MDF block of the digital rack are protected by Red Special Service Markers.
Do not make any additional connections to these locations. The table below shows
connection arrangements for each of the four basic exchange cabinets with
capacity between 96 to 336.

Tone Silence
The tone silence feature allows the attendant to silence alert tones at the master
station. Pressing the button once will silence tones. If new calls are placed to the
admin master, the tones will resound to alert the attendant to the new call on the
system. The call alert tone that sounds at the E-MDS/E-MDSMG Admin Master represents the
highest priority call on the system.
If an emergency-level call is placed to the master station, the attendant may silence
the alert tone by pressing Tone Silence. If a routine-level call is subsequently
placed, the alert tones will resound. In this case, the alert tones for an emergency-
level call will sound as it is higher priority than the routine-level call.

To program a substation for Type I recording, assign the extension (03XX) of the
desired ECHO-RMRI Interface channel to one of the call buttons. When that call button is
activated, a one-way connection is made between the substation and the pre-
programmed ECHO-RMRI Interface channel. Call abandonment will eventually drop the
connection if the substation has no cancel button.
To program a master station for type I recording, assign the extension (03xx) of the
desired ECHO-RMRI Interface channel to one of the available One or Two-Digit Speed Dial
bins. When that speed dial is activated, a one-way connection is made between the
master station and the pre-programmed ECHO-RMRI Interface channel. Press the X key to
quit.
Type II Setup
To program a master station for Type II recording, assign the extension of the
master to the appropriate ECHO-RMRI Interface channel. The number of extension digits
may vary from 2 to 4. This is accomplished by entering the extension of the master
whose two-way audio is to be recorded into the Two-Digit Speed Dial Bin 01 of the
desired ECHO-RMRI Interface channel. Whenever that master station calls another station
or is called by another station, both sides of the conversion will be sent to the
assigned recorder channel. Type II setup requires ECHO-SFW Administration
Program Software version 1.7 or greater.

Introduction
The ECHO-SFW Administration Program Software allows you to program the global
and local attributes of the ECHO 430/430 IP/460 systems and to configure the
equipment of the ECHO 430 IP system (version 1.14 or greater) using a
connected PC.
The ECHO 430 IP System may require the programming of its equipment in
addition to the global and local attributes. Programming is required if more than
one Central Exchange or Station Hub is used in the system. The programming of
the Central Exchange(s) and Station Hub(s) should be completed prior to
installation of the system and prior to programming the global and local
attributes. For IP Setup, refer to the IP section on page 5-59. ECHO-SFW Administration
Program Software incorporates the IP setup and IP diagnostic in version 1.14 or
greater.
Operating System
Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows NT
Ports
Two ports are required, one for a pointing device, and one serial port for
connection to the central control.
System Nodes
The ECHO system is comprised of functional units called nodes. When entering
Local Programming, the programmer will be prompted to select an L-node.
L-nodes are functional units that contain line cards/station hubs in the 430/430 IP
systems.
430/430 IP L Nodes
In the 430 System, an L-node consists of a Cat. 4350 Digital Switch and line cards
attached to it. In the 430 IP System, an L-node consists of a Cat. 4550 IP Central
Exchange and IP Station Hubs attached to it. The first digital switch/central
exchange in the system is assigned as node L001, the second as L002, and so on.
Pairs are numbered 0149 on each connected L-node. (Line 25 is omitted.)
460 L Nodes
Each rack on the 460 system may contain two nodes. Each L-node contains 48
pairs to which stations may be connected. Pairs are numbered 0149 on each
connected L-node. (Line 25 is omitted.)
Installation
1. Insert the disc containing the ECHO-SFW Administration Program
Software into the CD ROM drive of the computer.
2. Right click at the Start menu and select Explore.

numeric. When finished, select Apply for the changes to take effect, or Cancel to
exit without saving the changes.
After the appropriate password has been entered, you will be prompted to select a
communications link. The list includes all available modems and serial ports.
Select the communications link option. If the communications link option chosen
is a modem, the phone number and password edit boxes will become enabled,
allowing the user enter the appropriate dialing and password information.
The modem password is C1755BD, and it is case sensitive. If the password is not
entered correctly, a communications link will not be established. When finished
with selecting the communications link, enter the appropriate password and phone
number (if a modem), and select OK. The application will then attempt to connect
to the ECHO system.
If a modem is selected,
enter the phone number
to dial, then the password
for the modem.
The main window will be active when the communication link has been
established. The Main Window menu is the central point of navigation for the ECHO-SFW
application.

Time Limits
Time limits define the amount of time certain functions may occur. Page time
limits and ring time limits are defined below:
The Emergency All Call feature allows the user to set a password that must be
entered before an emergency all call is placed on the system. The default setting
for this is 0 (off).
Active Node Count settings are to be used for diagnostic purposes by qualified
maintenance personnel only!
Changing system node settings can seriously affect system functionality! This
setting is for use by qualified maintenance personnel!
Miscellaneous
station will automatically be cleared, regardless of whether or not that station has
sent a reply. If this value is set to 0, the display will not clear until a reply has been
sent.
Call Abandonment
Time Interval
The Time Interval is the maximum amount of time a connection will be
maintained between stations if one of the stations is a substation that is designated
as Sub. Without Cancel or Talk/Listen Sub.
Time Interval
The Call Forward No Answer feature forwards calls from one master station to
another if the call placed is not answered within the pre-programmed time interval.
In this example (Figure 5.20), calls not answered within 12 seconds will be
forwarded.
When both the Ring Time Limit and Call Forward No Answer features are
enabled, the ring time limit must be greater than, or equal to, the call forward no
answer limit to properly forward calls. If the ring time limit is reached before the
call forward time limit is reached, calls will not be forwarded.
Set the system clock. Enter the month, day, and year. The time must be entered in
24-hour time format. Requires the optional real time clock.
At 12:00 noon, the time is 1200. At at 1:00 P.M., the time is 1300. At 2:00 P.M.
the time is 1400. At 3:30 P.M., the time is 1530. If the time is 3:30 P.M., the user
will enter 15 to the hour category and 30 to the minute category.
Telephone Access
Inbound
Access for incoming calls from an outside line is defined as follows:
Outbound
The number entered here will be required for accessing an outside line. The
number of digits must be unique and consistent with the number of digits set for
station extensions.
Admin Night Mode allows one master to receive calls that would otherwise be sent
to a different master. This allows flexibility and increased coverage by allowing an
attendant at a different master to answer a call.
A system may have two master stations with two attendants during the day, but in
the evening, there is only one attendant on duty. Admin Night Mode allows one
master to take calls from all stations, regardless of which master they normally
report to, so that all calls placed on the system are managed by a single attendant.
Admin Night Mode must be enabled in global attributes. If not, the LCD at the
master station will read, FEATURE DISABLED when trying to enter night
mode. An N will appear in the upper left corner on master station LCDs when
night mode is enabled.
The Factory Defaults/Auto-Setup attributes are used to initialize the ECHO 460
communication system with default values once all connections have been made.

complete the changes, perhaps several minutes.
Talk/Listen Operation
VOX
Communication direction is determined by the station with the higher of the two
input levels.
Two people are communicating with each other through connected stations.
Communication direction will be one-way from the station with the higher audio
level input to the station with the lower audio level input.
The L-node to which you attempt to connect must be online. If the L-node is not
connected, an error message will appear.
The Local Attributes screen will appear, allowing you to program individual
stations on the selected L-node.
Navigation Buttons

Node/Pair Number
This displays the L-node to which stations are connected (See System Nodes on
page 5-3).
Extension Name/Assignment
Each extension can be assigned a name. To assign a name to a station, enter the
extension number for that station in the Extension field, then enter a name for that
station in the Name field.
Station Type
The station type determines the functions available at a given station. Each station
may be assigned only one type. The table below identifies these station types with
Federal Signal catalog numbers:
Volume
This parameter sets the audio output level for the sound and ring at each station.
The values range from 0 (softest) to 9 (loudest).
Sound
Sound volume is defined as the audio level of the speaker at the selected station.
Ring
Ring volume is defined as the volume of the ring tones at the master stations or the
volume of the tones at connected substations.
Privacy
Privacy has two different settings: one sets the mode, and the other sets the level of
privacy. Set the mode first, then the level of privacy.
Privacy Mode
There are two modes for privacy settings: changeable and fixed.
Changeable
Privacy can be changed at any time using the 09491 command for a talk/listen sub,
or a master station can change its own current privacy setting by keying 092.
Fixed
While in Fixed mode, privacy can be changed with either the ECHO-SFW Administration
Program Software or at a master station in Installer mode.
Privacy Setting
Non-Private
Full, two-way audio is established upon connection.
Semi-Private
A connection is established, but the called station microphone is muted until it is
enabled by pressing the Talk key, or by going off-hook.
Full-Private
The station rings to announce a standard call. Audio is muted at the called station
until a call button (substation), or the Talk button (master station) is pressed, or
until the unit is taken off-hook.
Do Not Disturb
The station will appear busy to any station placing a standard call. Admin calls will
be queued by the system.
Master stations may be set to any of the four privacy settings. Substations may be
set to Non-Private or Semi-Private only.
The Emergency All Call feature provides simultaneous, one-way, priority, break-
in paging to all stations. Existing station-to-station intercom connections are
placed on hold during the emergency all call, and then are automatically
reconnected when the emergency all call is finished.
Disabled
Stations set to Disabled cannot receive or initiate emergency all calls.
Receive Only
Stations set to Receive Only can receive, but not initiate emergency all calls.
Place Only
Stations set to Place Only can initiate, but not receive an emergency all call.
Place + Receive
Stations set to Place + Receive can initiate and receive emergency all calls.
Group Assignment
Stations can be assigned to groups. There are eight groups to which stations can be
assigned. To assign a station to a group, check the box of the desired group.
Stations (PA page stations included) can also be assigned to multiple groups.
When a group page is initiated, a reminder will appear at master stations,
prompting them to reply by pressing the Talk button.
All Call
An All Call provides simultaneous, one-way voice paging to all non-busy stations.
Program authorization is required. PA page stations may be included in the page.
An all call page will not preempt busy stations. Busy stations will not receive the
all call page, but will receive a reminder message. Non-busy master stations will
be prompted to reply and may do so by pressing the Talk button.
Disabled
Stations set to Disabled cannot receive or initiate all call pages.
Receive Only
Stations set to Receive Only can receive, but cannot initiate all call pages.
Place Only
Stations set to Place Only can initiate, but cannot receive an all call pages.
Place + Receive
Stations set to Place + Receive can initiate and receive all call pages.
Single-digit speed dial assignments allow the station to place a call or perform a
function by pressing a single key. Options for setting single-digit speed dial
assignments are different for master stations and substations.
Once a speed-dial key has been set, no extensions can use that key number as the
initial number. Extensions starting with 6, 7, 8, or 9 could not exist in the system if
they are programmed for single-digit speed dial because dialing the first digit
would trigger their respective speed-dial assignments. (Example: Using
Figure 5.38 on page 5-29, if an extension was programmed as Extension 70, the
person dialing it would activate the speed dial feature for key #7 and would be
connected to extension 12.)
Set an Extension
Enter a valid extension number in the Key field. In this example, key #7 will dial
extension 12.
Set a Function
Single digit dialing can be set to perform system functions. In this example, key #6
is set to dial 0951 which is the sequence to perform a group page for all stations in
Group 1. The maximum number of digits that can be entered here is four.
Standard Call
Enter the extension of the station that will be called when the button is pressed.
Admin Call
A four-digit number is entered to dial an admin call. Using Button #1 from
Figure 5.39 as an example, the four-digit number is broken down as follows:

Partition
Select the partition for this station. Master stations are able to communicate with
other master stations and substations within a partition only. Master stations that
are assigned partition 0 may communicate with any master or substation in the
system. The default setting is partition 1.
Preempt
Disabled
The preempt feature is disabled.
Inbound Only
Default setting. A station that is set to Inbound Only can be preempted by another
authorized station, but cannot preempt other stations.
Outbound Only
Master stations only. A station set to Outbound Only is allowed to preempt other
stations set to Inbound. It cannot be preempted.
Inbound + Outbound
Master stations only. A station set to Inbound + Outbound can preempt another
station and can be preempted by another station.
Administrative Master
This option allows the user to set a master station to capture calls sent to a different
master station while in night mode. Master station 1, depicted in Figure 5.42, will
take calls directed to master station 2 in addition to its own calls while Night Mode
is active.
Settings
0 = Disabled
1-8 = Administrative master address. It will receive calls from substations
with matching address
9 = Master will receive admin calls from all connected substations
Administrative master Day/Night mode settings can be active only when the Admin
Night mode in global attributes is in the On position.
Night and Day modes of operation can be set at an admin master as follows:
The two-digit speed dial assignment feature is programmable for two different
operations:
Programmed to
dial extensions
1811, 1812, &
1813 using two
digits only.
Figure 5.43 on page 5-33 illustrates that speed dialing has been assigned for
keystrokes 01, 02, and 03. When the user enters any of these two digit extensions
as shown in Figure 5.43, the extension programmed for the key assignment will be
dialed.
Two-digit speed dialing can also be set while connected to a station by pressing the
two-digit speed dial number.
Extensions 1110 (master) and 1811 (talk/listen substation) are connected. The
operator at extension 1110 can press 01 while connected with station 1811. The
LCD at the master will read SPEED DIAL SET. The ECHO-SFW software will
reflect the change in the Two-Digit Speed Dial Assignments box (Figure 5.43). The
extension may also be removed from speed dial during a connection. While
connected to station 1811, the user at master, extension 1110 would key 01. The
LCD will read REMOVED and extension 1811 will no longer be programmed as
the two-digit speed dial extension for keypress 01.
Settings in the Call Forward No Answer feature allow one master station to receive
calls that were originally designated for a different master station. This allows calls
sent to an unattended master to be forwarded to an attended master station. Two
conditions must exist for calls to be forwarded to a second master station:
Call Forward No Answer settings must be programmed into Two-Digit Speed Dial
bin #08 only. Call Forward No Answer settings programmed into any other bin
will not allow the feature to function.
In the example illustrated by Figure 5.43 on page 5-33 the number programmed
into bin #08 is 0032. Figure 5.44 on page 5-34 illustrates the significance of the
numbers programmed in Two-Digit Speed Dial Bin #08.
00 3 2
In this example, emergency calls that are unanswered at this master station within
the Call Forward No Answer limit, will be forwarded to master stations with
ownership of 3. Routine calls that are unanswered at this master station within the
time limit will be forwarded to the master station with an ownership of 2.
Forwarded calls will appear at both the master to which they were forwarded and
the master to which the call was originally placed. An attendant can answer a call
at any master station where that call is displayed.
In a system with multiple masters assigned to the same ownership, only one of
those masters needs to be programmed to forward calls. It is not necessary to
program each master within that particular ownership to forward calls.
Standard calls may be forwarded when the Call Forward No Answer time limit has
been exceeded. The station that will be forwarding calls must be set to Full-
Private.
To designate an extension to receive forwarded standard calls, enter that extension
number into 08 in Two-Digit Speed Dial settings.
A Call Forward No Answer destination can also be set at the station by the
following procedure:
1. The master forwarding standard calls must connect with the master to which
standard calls will be forwarded.
2. During the connection, the forwarding master will key 08.
3. The receiving master's extension is now entered into Speed Dial Bin 08.
The Ring Time Limit value must be greater than the Call Forward No Answer
value for calls to be forwarded. For details, see Time Limits on page 5-14.
This application allows you to backup global and local attributes by saving the
configuration to a file. If necessary, the file can be opened and applied using the
Restore feature.

Diagnostics
Selecting Display Failed Stations will run a diagnostic check on the ECHO
430/460 System. This may take several minutes depending on the number of
connected stations. A report will be produced when the check is complete.
When Display Code Versions is selected the following information will display
for ECHO 430/460 System:
The code version will display either the prefix D (default code) or U (update code)
Figure 5.51 displays the code version as D430. It is important to note whether the
code is default or update when identifying the code version.
Configuration Verification
This diagnostic feature allows the user to quickly check for any errors and
inconsistencies in the programming on ECHO 430/460. Configuration
Verification checks both global and local configurations. The results of the
verification will appear on screen.
When Configuration Verification is complete, a screen will appear that lists all
results from the verification.
The results can be saved by selecting Save To File. The results will be saved as a
verification file (.vrf). Verification files can be opened and viewed using a word
processing program such as Microsoft Word, or a basic text program.
Select the Station Data Quality button to grade, on a pass/fail scale, the condition
of the line pairs for each configured station associated with a given digital switch
on ECHO 430/460. The line condition is reported for each line pair on a given
node. Once selected, a new dialog box will appear, offering a node selection dialog
box that allows the user to select the node (digital switch) whose line pairs are to
be graded.
Selecting a proper node, and then pressing the OK button will bring up the Station
Data Quality Report box. The results will be displayed as either pass or fail for a
given node or pair. Figure 5.56 illustrates that pair 17 in the system is failed.
Pressing Update in the Station Data Quality Report box will rerun the test, and
display any status changes.
IP Component Status
The IP Component Status applies to the ECHO 430 IP System only, and is
provided in ECHO-SFW version 1.14 and greater. The component status report displays
the information on the devices that are operative. You may access the report after
you have programmed the IP system equipment. Refer to IP Setup (430 IP
System Equipment Programming) on page 5-59. You may use the report to
determine the devices that are inoperative and therefore, are missing from the
report by comparing it to your Worksheet or any other list of equipment.
Select IP Component Status for information on the IP system devices. A dialog
similar to the following displays.
4. Click Ok to exit the report or click Save to File to save the report on your
computer for reference.
The Program Code Update feature allows the user to upgrade the software in the ECHO
430/460 systems and does not apply to the ECHO 430 IP System.
Before invoking this feature, the user should have received the actual program
code file to update.
To ensure the reliability of the update process, save code update files to the hard
drive of the PC before updating.
This file has the form U?DXvvv.S19, where the '?' is a system identifier:
3 = ECHO 430 and 6 = ECHO 460, and the vvv is the three-digit version
number (i.e. 123, 124...).
Program code versions are specific to 430 and 460 systems. Code with a system
identifier of 3 can be uploaded to a 430 system only. Code with a system identifier
of 6 can be uploaded to a 460 system only. It is important to note whether the
system is running update code (denoted by U) or default code (D).
Select Code Update from the main window menu. A dialog box will appear
prompting you to select the file for upload.
Choose the appropriate file to upload, and select Open. A warning dialog will
appear stating that during code upload the system will be non-operational.
At this screen, you will select Yes to continue and upload the code. The system
will be inoperative during the time that the code is being uploaded. Select No to
cancel the operation at this point.
If Yes is selected, a progress gauge will appear displaying the progress of the
upload. If No is selected, the you will be returned to the main window of the
application.
A dialog box will appear indicating a successful code upload to the system.
Function Keys
Programmable function keys allow single-touch feature activation when using the
E-MDS/E-MDSMG Administrative Master. Seven keys are available for programming as
function keys on the E-MDS/E-MDSMG Admin Master (code version 1.01 or
greater is required in the E-MDS/E-MDSMG, and program code version 1.3.3 or
greater is required in the central exchange). In addition to being able to enter a custom
function, the following functions can be programmed as function key operations:
When you have selected the extension of the admin master for function key
programming, the ECHO-SFW software queries the ECHO 430/430 IP/460 system
about the entered extension. If the extension is not of an admin or direct select
master, an error message will be displayed. The function key programming dialog
box consists of several pieces of information, the current key being programmed, a
drop-down list of available user functions, and a detailed information window.
Call Text
When a station places an admin call, call text is displayed at the annunciating
admin master station or at a master station programmed to receive admin type
calls. Call text can be customized using the ECHO-SFW application. Select Call Text
from the main window. The following dialog will appear:
There are ten possible call types in the 430/430 IP/460 System (0 through 9). The
user can change any or all of the call text messages on this screen. There is an 11
character limit on a call text message. Select Update after entering text to send
changes to the 430/430 IP/460 system. Select Cancel to exit without saving
changes.
Day/Night mode for the 430/460 system may be set using an admin master station.
Key 09494 for Day mode; key 09495 for Night mode.
Day and night sensitivity adjustments are made by using the slider controls. The
numeric range is 0 (most sensitive) to 128 (least sensitive).
Advanced Settings
Detailed adjustments can be made by selecting Advanced. The following screen
will appear:
Frequency Adjustment
Frequency adjustment must be set for both the low and high cutoffs.
The number of Sound Detect Events is set to 2. The Call Window Time value is set
to 5.504 seconds. A call will be placed only if two sound events are detected
within the 5.504 second call window time. If two events are not detected within the
5.504 second call window time, the event will be discarded and a call will not be
placed.
In a parking garage, a siren may be detected and qualify as an audio event. The
siren reaches the Sound Event Qualification time (0.096 seconds according to
Figure 5.71 on page 5-55) and the timer begins. The siren continues above ambient
noise levels beyond the time set as the Extended Sound Reject Time (4.160
seconds according Figure 5.71 on page 5-55). The siren will be discarded as a
qualified audio event and a call will not be placed.
A parking garage may have erratic noise levels. In such an environment, where
ambient levels rise and fall quickly, set the Ambient Adjust Time to a faster
reaction time to help prevent calls from being placed when the ambient levels rise
suddenly.
Another parking garage may have more stable ambient noise levels. The ambient
levels may remain fairly constant without the pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic.
In this situation, the Ambient Adjust Time can be set to a slower reaction time.
This will help ensure that an actual distress call is recognized and that a call is
placed.
Set from 0.032 seconds (fastest reaction time) 8.160 seconds (slowest
reaction time)
If the number of sound detect events is set to 2, then two audio events must take
place within the call window time. If two audio events are not received by the
station within the call window time, no call will be placed.
Enter the Local Programming to program destinations for the two call buttons of

An IP Central Exchange (Port A) and an IP Station Hub are linked by default with
preprogrammed IP Address source and destination. No programming is necessary
if you use one of each. You will need to change the IP addresses if you have more
than one IP Central Exchange and additional Station Hubs. Each IP Central
Exchange Port and Station Hub Port must have a unique IP Address.
You will use ECHO-SFW Program Software to establish associations between IP Station
Hubs and the IP Central Exchange(s) after required information (unique IP address
for each device) has been assigned to each device. Programming the equipment via
the IP Setup screen must be completed prior to the installation of the equipment
and prior to any additional feature programming. IP Setup is available in ECHO-SFW
version 1.14 or greater. Refer to Cat-5 Network Basics for ECHO 430 IP
System Manual for basic network setup information.

Introduction
The central exchange has two modes of operation, the Run Mode and the Program
Mode. The Run Mode is used to execute all signal and call operational features.
The Program Mode is used to review or change the operating features of the
Central Exchange. The Program Mode is password protected and may be accessed
from any master station. Access to the Program mode may be disabled using
dipswitch settings in the digital switch. Programming may be done by using a
master station, or by using the ECHO-SFW Administration Program Software.
Program Protection
Program Worksheets
Worksheets are provided for documenting wire pair color codes, station location,
and line card connection location. These sheets are useful for installation and
troubleshooting. Recording detailed information on the worksheets will help to
speed installation and will assist you and technical support personnel in
troubleshooting.
Auto-Assign Programming
The exchange is now ready to be programmed. In order for stations to
communicate and to perform the system check, address extension numbers must
be assigned to each station. As each station is attached to a station line it is
automatically assigned an extension number (the default is two digits). Only one
station may be attached to a station line. There are three categories of stations
which may be attached to a central exchange:
Master Stations
A master station has a complete dialing keypad and an LCD display. Each master
station requires a non-zero address extension number.
Substations
A substation has a limited number of call buttons and no LCD. Each substation
requires:
A non-zero address extension number
A destination address extension or admin code number for each call button
on the station
The station type must be assigned as a Substation if All Master Program
option is selected
Specialty Stations
A specialty station is used as an interface between the central exchange and third
party equipment such as PA page or program music distribution sources. Each
specialty station requires a special extension number. The station type must be
specified as Specialty if All Master Program option is selected.
All-Substation Exchange
This procedure is to be used when there are no admin masters.
Global Attributes
Global attributes are common to each station in the exchange. Global options such
as time limits, extension digits, and system clock settings are found in the global
attributes. Changes made here will affect all stations in the system.
Local Attributes
Local attributes affect individual stations. Local station attributes are accessible by
using the D keys on the master station. While in local programming, you will be
able to review and change attributes for individual stations.
To switch from global programming to local programming when using a master
station, press DK or DL. To return to global programming, press V+ or V-.
To exit at any time press the X key. The station will time out and exit out of the
Installer mode if there have been no entries made on the keypad within one hour.

Specify the partition in the exchange that this station will be able to access.
Stations can only communicate with other stations according to the descriptions
below. Partitions can be assigned as follows:
Partitions 149 restrict admin and standard calls. Stations within one of
these partitions can only place and receive calls to and from other stations
in the same partition (or Partition 0) for both admin and standard calls.
Partitions 5099 restrict admin only calls. Stations within one of these
partitions can place and receive a standard call to and from any partition
50-99, but admin calls are restricted to stations only within their given
partition (or Partition 0).
Partition 0 is not restricted. Stations assigned partition 0 can place and
receive standard and admin calls across all partitions.
Partition 0 is commonly assigned as overseer to master stations, allowing them to
communicate with stations in any partition.
Preempt
104: PRE-EMPT
DISABLED
Disabled
The Preempt feature is disabled.
Inbound only
Default setting. A station that is set to Inbound Only can be pre-empted by
another authorized station, but cannot pre-empt other stations.
Outbound only
Master stations only. A station set to Outbound Only is allowed to preempt other
stations set to Inbound. It cannot be preempted.
In & Outbound
Master stations only. A station set to In & Outbound can preempt another station
and can be preempted by another station.
Admin Ownership
Ownership settings apply to admin masters. Settings at this menu option are:
0 = Off
18 = Admin master address
9 = Receives admin calls from all substations within a partition
An admin masters ownership may be set differently for Day and Night modes of
operation. This feature allows an admin master to receive the calls placed by a
substation that normally reports to a different admin master.
The admin master depicted here has 12 programmed as the Day/Night value. This
indicates that while the system is in Day Mode, the admin master will receive calls
from substations programmed to report to the admin master with ownership of 1.
While Night mode is enabled, this admin masters ownership is 1 and 2.
When this value is set to 9, the admin master will receive admin calls from all
substations within its partition.
This feature applies only to systems with multiple admin masters.
An extension number can be entered that will be dialed when the two-digit
sequence is keyed (01 in this example). If the admin master depicted here dials 01,
it will be connected to the station with extension 108.
Bins 0108 are available for two-digit speed dialing.
Station Type
The Sentinel substation must be programmed as a Talk/Listen Sub.

with each other. Communication between stations in different partitions may be
blocked. A station may be programmed to belong to any one of 99 partitions or
partition 0. A station in partition 0 may communicate with any partition. Partition
0 is usually reserved for an attendant position.
Stations can only communicate with other stations according to the descriptions
below. Partitions can be assigned as follows:
Partitions 149 restrict admin and standard calls. Stations within one of
these partitions can only place and receive calls to and from other stations
in the same partition (or Partition 0) for both admin and standard calls.
Partitions 5099 restrict admin only calls. Stations within one of these
partitions can place and receive a standard call to and from any partition
50-99, but admin calls are restricted to stations only within their given
partition (or Partition 0).
Partition 0 is not restricted. Stations assigned partition 0 can place and
receive standard and admin calls across all partitions.
Partition 0 is commonly assigned as overseer to master stations, allowing them to
communicate with stations in any partition.

Limits
Examples
1. Master station 101 initiates a conference by pressing the #8 key. Stations with
0092 in one of the speed dial bins will be included in the conference. In this
case, stations 101, 103, and 105 are conferencing.
2. Master station 103 initiates an auto conference by pressing the #6 key. Stations
with 0090 in one of the single digit speed dial bins will be included in the
conference. In this case, stations 101, 103, and 104 are conferencing.
3. Master station 104 initiates an auto conference by pressing the #9 key. Stations
with 0097 in one of the single digit speed dial bins are now conferencing. In
this case, stations 102 and 104 are conferencing.
In Example 1, the user at station 103 may exit the conference by pressing the
Cancel button. Since station 103 was not the originator, stations 101 and 105 will
remain connected in conference. If station 101 had disconnected first, then the
conference would end because station 101 was the originator.
In Example 3, if station, 102 or 104 disconnects, the conference will end because
they are the only two stations in conference.

The Page Time Limit attribute may also be used to terminate an all-call page. The
PBX Interface cannot receive all-call pages. No reminder reply will be left at all-
call receiving stations.
The PBX Interface All Call attribute (local) must be set to Place Only.
The PBX Interface Emergency All Call attribute (local) must be set to Place only.
Preempt
The calling party attempts to dial a ECHO station but gets the busy tone. The
caller may press the star key "*" to preempt the called station. When the
conversation is complete, the original connection will be restored.
The PBX Interface Preempt attribute (local) must be set to Outbound Only.
Door Access
After a connection is made to a ECHO substation that is equipped with a relay,
the calling party may activate the relay by pressing and holding 4 on the PBX
phone. Releasing 4 will deenergize the substation's relay. This feature requires that
the DTMF tone created when pressing 4 is maintained for the duration of the
keystroke.
Inbound Mode 2
Inbound Mode 2 allows PBX phones to call in to a preset ECHO extension and
functions as follows:
1. The Cat. 4362 PBX Interface receives a call from a PBX phone and establishes
a connection.
2. If the pre-programmed extension corresponds to a master station, the master
station will automatically be placed in full privacy mode and will ring. If the
station you are calling is set to Do Not Disturb, a busy signal will sound at the
PBX phone. The calling party receives ring back tone. The called master
station may answer the call by lifting the handset or pressing the Talk button.
3. If the pre-programmed extension corresponds to a substation, substations set to
Non-Private will connect automatically. Substations set to Semi-Private will
receive one-way communication from the calling PBX phone. To switch to
vox communication, the button at the substation must be pressed, then
released. All communication after the button has been pressed and released
will be in Vox Mode.
If the called station is associated with a relay contact (digital substations only), the
caller can activate that contact on the substation by pressing 4 on the PBX phone
after connection to the substation.
Outbound Mode
Outbound Mode allows stations to place calls to outside phones. The master station
will dial an installer-specified extension number to access an outside line. The
master station will receive the outside dial tone and may use the keypad to dial and
outside telephone number. Dialing key details are displayed in the table below:
1. Master station must have the Access Out number entered into Two-Digit
Speed Dial Bin #08.
2. A Call Forward No Answer time limit must be programmed for the master
station. (Call Forward No Answer Time Limit must be less than Ring Time
Limit.)
3. Master station must be set to Full Private.
4. Substation is programmed to place a standard call to the master station.
In this scenario, the substation will place the standard call to the master. The
master station will ring to indicate the call. When the call is not answered within
the Call Forward No Answer time limit, the standard call placed by the substation
will be forwarded to the PBX Interface which will dial the number entered in Auto
Dial Phone #. The substation will connect to the outside line.
1. Master station is set to forward calls to PBX Interface. Master station is set to
forward calls to the PBX Interface by keying 093, then the number for Access
Out.
2. Substation is programmed to place a standard call to the master station.
When the substation places the standard call to the master station, it will
immediately be forwarded to the PBX Interface, which will dial the number set in
Auto Dial Phone # and establish the connection between the substation and the
outside line.
When the Caller ID (CID) telephone is called, the extension number and directory
name of the calling station will appear on the telephone display. (See sample LCD
below)

substation. To de-energize the substation relay the user should release the 4 key.
Some phones create a short pulse of DTMF when a key is pressed and held, this
will cause the substation relay to energize and de-energize very quickly. This
feature requires sustained DTMF tones to maintain relay contact closure.
Preempt/Break In
The CID phone may preempt existing audio connections. The user should press the
* key while receiving the busy tone after calling a station. The connection that the
called phone had will be terminated, and a connection will be made to the CID
phone. After the audio connection due to the preemption is terminated, the original
audio connection will be reestablished.
The CID phone pre-empt attribute (local) must be set to Inbound Only or In &
Outbound.
To call the last extension that called the CID phone or redial the extension last
called by the CID phone, the user should go off hook then press the "*" key.
To receive admin type calls from substations the CID Interface must be assigned
ownership. When a substation whose calls are preprogrammed to annunciate at
CID interfaces with the proper day/night ownership, the phone will ring three
times and display the room number and pre-programmed call text for that call type
as illustrated below:
When a call is placed on the system, an alert tone will sound at the master station
and the room selector key LED will light. Calls may be answered directly by
pressing the room selector key and speaking into the handset or the panel
microphone. Multiple calls will be queued according to priority and time placed.

lift the handset.
Scroll through calls using D", D" until reaching the desired call as
displayed on the LCD, then press Intercom Push to Talk and operating
hands-free, or lift the handset.
LED Assignment
The Cat. 5265 Direct Select Master station LEDs are assigned from the upper left
corner to the lower right corner. The LEDs are assigned to substations whose
admin calls report to the Cat. 5265 Direct Select Master. LEDs are assigned in two
groups, day ownership and night ownership. Substations that are part of the day
ownership are assigned the first block of LEDs in order of ascending extension
numbers. While substations whose admin calls the master annunciates only while
in the night mode are considered part of the night ownership. Substations that are
part of the night ownership are assigned the second block (immediately following
the last station LED in the first block) of LEDs in order of ascending extension
numbers. Master stations and substations that are programmed to place standard
calls are not assigned LEDs. Substations that are not part of the day or night
ownership, but whose call is displayed due to the No Answer Call Forward feature
will not be assigned an LED. Cat. 5265 LEDs are reassigned when Restore Factory
Defaults or Direct Select Master Reconfigure is chosen from the Global Attributes
screen through the ECHO-SFW software.
Call priority LEDs indicate the priority levels of current calls placed on the system.
Call priority lights are as follows:
LCD Display
The LCD displays the extension and name (as entered through programming) of
the calling station. It also displays the priority of the call. The LCD will display the
highest priority call. To view other calls, the attendant may use DK, DL to scroll
through calls on the LCD. When the desired call displays on the LCD, the
attendant may answer it by one of the following actions:
LED Indicators
The Cat. 5265 Direct Select Master is equipped with different types of LED
indicators:
Type I
A station (typically a substation) connects directly with a channel on the ECHO-RMRI
Interface. When the substation call button is activated, a one-way connection is
made from the substation to a pre-programmed channel on the ECHO-RMRI Interface.
Type II
Both sides of a conversion between two stations are sent to a pre-programmed
channel of a ECHO-RMRI Interface. A station is assigned to a particular channel on a
ECHO-RMRI Interface. When that particular station makes a connection to any other station,
audio from the microphones of both connected stations is sent to the ECHO-RMRI
Interface channel.
Use of this feature when the executive override warning tone is disabled may be
interpreted as a violation of federal or state laws, and an invasion of privacy.
Consult counsel with respect to applicable law before intruding on calls using this
feature.
ECHO-RMACAlarm Card
The ECHO-RMAC Alarm Card has a blue handle and contains a tri-color LED
indicator that displays the node status within a completely configured exchange.
Each colored LED has its own distinctive meaning, and are as follows:
Green: All systems are functioning within normal limits.
Yellow: There is a failed station(s) in the system.
If the yellow LED indicator is lit, it means that there is a failed station in the
system. Stations with non-zero extensions are not communicating with the
exchange. Use PC Diagnostic to identify the node and pair of failed station(s).
Red: Major system functions are not operating within the normal limits.
If the red LED indicator is lit, check the status of all digital switches and modem
card LEDs within the exchange to localize the problem to a node, as a modem link
or power rack may have failed.
