WS-4 / WS-10 and EWS-4 / EWS-10 Auxiliary Connector
Auxiliary Connection
The Auxiliary RJ45 connector allows the connection of the Vocia Auxiliary Microphone (VAM-1) or the
Vocia Paging Station Interface (VPSI-1). Vocia software is used to enable and configure these
accessories.
The Paging station acts as a host device to these accessories. Although the VAM-1 can use Ethernet
standard cable and connectors it is not an Ethernet device and as such should never be connected
directly to an Ethernet switch or network. Please review the VAM-1 and VPSI-1 Operation Manuals for
more information.
PS-VTP control of the EWS paging stations is not permitted for use in EN54-16 systems unless the
connected control system is EN 54-16 certified
Personal Identification Number (PIN) Security
Any Paging Station can be configured for PIN security protection. Pin security is disabled by default. See
the sections below for directions based on a specific model.
4 button Paging station PIN Security
If PIN security is enabled via the Vocia software, the four Page Code buttons may be used to enter the
required four-digit PIN (see button labeling examples below). To enter a number, the user may need to
press a button multiple times (as in SMS messaging). During PIN entry, the two "Next" and "Previous" soft
key buttons on the right side of the display act as a "Clear" and an "Enter" key respectively. Input the four-
digit PIN sequentially, followed by the "Enter" key or the PTT button. Each digit will be shown briefly on
the display and subsequently replaced by an asterisk for security purposes. If the entered PIN is correct,
the station will unlock and be ready for use. To lock the wall station on the initial set up, enter the PIN and
push both the "Clear" and "Enter" button simultaneously.
10 button Paging station PIN Security
If PIN security is enabled via the Vocia software, the ten-digit keypad may be used to enter the required
four-digit PIN. During PIN entry, the two "Next" and "Previous" soft key buttons on the right side of the
display act as a "Clear" and an "Enter" key respectively. Input the four-digit PIN sequentially, followed by
the "Enter" key or the PTT button. Each digit will be shown briefly on the display and subsequently
replaced by an asterisk for security purposes. If the entered PIN is correct, the station will unlock and be
ready for use.
After a period of inactivity (no pages made and no buttons pressed), the unit will revert back to a locked
state. This length of time (at a default of 180 seconds) is set using the Vocia software. To lock the station
instantly, the user can press and hold down the "Next" and "Previous" buttons at the same time.
