Next, select Disabled under PTT Frequency and press Enter. Deselect Keep Page PTT Freq and press
Enter. Now the address of the zone being programmed is entered. This field will allow up to 12 digits to
be entered. If no alarm is being associated with this alias, the exact number of address digits should be
entered. Enter the address of the zone being programmed and press enter. The new alias is added to the list
and will be accessible by the operator after programming and during operation. Note that only one address
may be entered in each alias. If desired, aliases may be grouped using a group alias. Refer to CARD Suite
help for more information.
Preprogrammed Zone with Alarm
It is possible to not only preprogram a zone with a name but to also associate a particular alarm with that
zone using the same alias. To do this, enter a new alias as described when no alarm is associated with the
alias. However, before entering the zone address and hitting enter, enter the zone address followed by the
desired message number to be used for the alarm. This message number is retrieved using the AMI
Message diagnostic.
For example, an alias is desired for zone 4, address 123, that will be used to broadcast an all-clear
message, message 27, to the zone. The Capcode entered for this alias should be entered as 12327. Since
the number of digits set by the Max Digits From Keypad under the Paging Parameters Tab had been set to
3, the ACC2500 will extract the address of 123 and a message number of 27 from the new alias. Note that
all digits following the address in the alias will be used to determine the message number. For example the
capcode of 123001, 12301 and 1231 will all address zone 123 and broadcast message 1.
Programmable Buttons
The ACC2500 includes four programmable buttons that can be programmed for up to eight functions. The
second set of four is accessed in conjunction with the CTL button combination. Supported functions of the
ACC2500 are button remap, quick page, or output control* and mute. Button remap will allow any button
to be remapped to the button. Mute allows for a timed or infinite mute function of the speaker. Quick
Page is used to associate a preprogrammed alias with or without alarm to the particular button.
To associate an alias with a programmable button, selected the desired button and set the function to quick
page. Disable Manual Page and selected the desired alias from the Paging Alias pull-down. Note that
when adding to or deleting aliases from the Alias Tables tab, it may be necessary to reset these
programmable buttons to the desired alias.
*Requires XRC0001A to be installed. Relay 1 is used for connection of backup ACC2500 unit.
Other Necessary Programming Settings
The following parameters must be set in order for the ACC2500 to work properly with the AMI:
•
Tone Control/TX Function Tone tab, Half/Full Duplex should be set for Full. Dup.
•
Tone Control/TX Function Tone tab, 2/4 Wire should be set for 4 Wire.
•

•
Deskset Parameters tab, Line Termination should be enabled for at least one ACC unit in the chain. If
only one ACC2500 is used, it should be enabled on that unit. If backup units are used, the last unit
physically farthest away from the AMI should have Line Termination enabled.
