PoE Powered VoIP Endpoint Interfaces Analog Paging

Systems with SIP and Multicast Paging Sources

The Viking model PA-IP SIP / Multicast Paging Adapter
provides an interface between new VoIP phone systems
(hardware or hosted/cloud based) and analog paging systems,
eliminating the need for an ATA or FXS port. The PA-IP can
be used for standard SIP endpoint paging or multicast paging
and multicast background music.

The unit easily connects with a single CAT5/6 cable from your
PoE switch. The night ring feature is programmable for time
of day and day of week to enable loud ringing for after hour
incoming calls. Alternatively the night ring feature can be
enabled by a contact closure across the trigger input terminals.
Line-level audio output connections are provided for
connecting to an external amplifier.

A built-in 6 Watt class D amplifier with speaker output
connections are also provided to drive up to six analog
speakers. A programmable relay output is provided for
triggering external amplifiers, etc.

Definitions

Client: A computer or device that makes use of a server. As an example, the client might request a particular file from the server.

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. In this procedure the network server or router takes note of a client’s MAC address and

assigns an IP address to allow the client to communicate with other devices on the network.

DNS Server: A DNS (Domain Name System) server translates domain names (ie: www.vikingelectronics.com) into an IP address.

Ethernet: Ethernet is the most commonly used LAN

achieve transmission speeds up to 1Gbps.

Host: A computer or device connected to a network.

Host Name: A host name is a label assigned to a device connected to a computer network that is used to identify the device in various

forms of network communication.

Hosts File: A file stored in a computer that lists host names and their corresponding IP addresses with the purpose of mapping addresses
to hosts or vice versa.

Internet: A worldwide system of computer networks running on IP

IP: Internet Protocol is the set of communications conventions that govern the way computers communicate on networks and on the

Internet

IP Address: This is the address that uniquely identifies a host on a network.

LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a network connecting computers and other devices within an office or building.

Lease: The amount of time a DHCP

time, the lease can expire and the address can be assigned to another host.

MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address, also called a hardware address or physical address, is a unique
address assigned to a device at the factory. It resides in the device’s memory and is used by network equipment to send data packets
to the correct IP address. You can find the MAC address of your PA-IP page adapter printed on a white label on the bottom side of the
chassis.

Router: A device that forwards data from one network to another. In order to send information to the right location, routers look at IP
Address, MAC Address and Subnet Mask.

RTP: Real-Time Transport Protocol is an Internet protocol standard that specifies a way for programs to manage the real-time transmission
of multimedia data over either unicast or multicast network services.

Server: A computer or device that fulfills requests from a client. This could involve the server sending a particular file requested by the
client.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP): Is a signaling communications protocol, widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions
such as voice and video calls over Internet Protocol (IP
which govern establishment, termination and other essential elements of a call.

Static IP Address: A static IP Address has been assigned manually and is permanent until it is manually removed. It is not subject to the
Lease

Subnet: A portion of a network that shares a common address component. On TCP/IP networks, subnets are defined as all devices
whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For example, all devices with IP addresses
same subnet. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both security and performance reasons. IP networks are divided using a subnet
mask.

TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is the suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet.
TCP/IP uses several protocols, the two main ones being TCP and IP. TCP/IP is built into the UNIX operating system and is used by the
Internet, making it the de facto standard for transmitting data over networks.

TISP: Telephone Internet Service Provider

WAN: Wide Area Network. A WAN is a network comprising a large geographical area like a state or country. The largest WAN is the

Internet

Wireless Access Point (AP): A device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi, or related standards. The
AP usually connects to a router (via a wired network) as a standalone device, but it can also be an integral component of the router itself.

Wireless Repeater (Wireless Range Extender): takes an existing signal from a wireless router or access point and rebroadcasts it to
create a second network. When two or more hosts have to be connected with one another over the IEEE 802.11 protocol and the distance
is too long for a direct connection to be established, a wireless repeater is used to bridge the gap.

A. Connect/Disconnect

Open the “Viking IP Programming” software on the PC and the start screen shown below will appear. Any Viking IP
products that are connected to the network will appear on the list. Simply select the PA-IP on the list and click on the
“Connect” button at the bottom or double click the selected unit. If no username and password have been programmed
and the security code of the selected unit is still set to default (845464), the PC software will not require entering a
username, password or security code to connect to the PA-IP. If the PA-IP has been programmed with a username
and password, a pop up window will ask for the username followed by the password. If the unit’s security code has
been changed from “845464”, it will then prompt for the correct security code. PA-IP’s have a default name of
“uCMK64_40TB-IP”, so if many PA-IP’s are connected to the same network and all have the default name, MAC
addresses must be used to identify each PA-IP. When finished programming, click on the “Disconnect” button at the
bottom. Closing the program will also automatically disconnect the unit.

B. Configuring the PA-IP Network Settings

Step 1.

Step 2.

Step 3.

Step 4. The program will then read and display the PA-IP’s IP and programming settings.

Step 5. Click on the “IP Settings” tab.

Step 6.

Step 7. Set the “Unit Name”, “Logging / Time Server Settings” as needed.

Step 8.

Open the “Viking IP Programming” software on a windows PC that is connected to the same LAN as the PA-IP speaker to be
programmed.

The window in the upper left corner of the menu will show you each PA-IP that is connected to that LAN. Select the unit with the same
MAC address shown on the label located on the top of the Ethernet connector on the PA-IP or the matching label that can be found on
the bottom of the Black Box.

Click on the “connect” button. A default PA-IP has no username or password programmed, the security code is set to “845464” and
when configured this way, you are instantly connected to the PA-IP. If the PA-IP has been programmed with a username and
password, a pop up window will ask for the username followed by the password. If the unit’s security code has been changed from
“845464”, it will then prompt for the correct security code, then click “retry”.

Select the appropriate value Static IP Settings or DHCP for “Set Unit IP Address via”. Note: Changing the IP address will cause you to

have to reconnect to the unit. Enter the values for the fields in “if DHCP fails” or “Static IP Settings” as needed.

Select Peer-Peer in the “SIP Server / Peer to Peer Settings” to use the unit in Peer to Peer mode or for Multicast paging only. Select
Server to register with a SIP registrar server and fill in the “Outbnd Proxy” (SIP Outbound Proxy Server Address, “ip:port”), “Authentic. ID”
(SIP Authentication ID), “Username” (SIP Username, <string>), “Password” (SIP Password), and “Caller ID” (SIP Caller ID) with values
from your VoIP provider. Required fields will be red when the unit is not registered.
