K-2000-DVA, RC-2A,
RC-3 Compatibility
March 18, 1999
The K-2000-DVA Digital Announcer is
designed to be fully compatible with the
Viking models RC-2A and RC-3 remote
DTMF controllers. No conflicts between the
devices will occur, provided that both units
are accessed using the operation and
programming guidelines described below.
K-2000-DVA Compatibility with
RC-2A and RC-3
B. Configuring the RC-2A/RC-3 for use with the K-2000-DVA
1. The RC-2A or RC-3 security or access code must be enabled.
2. Security and/or access code(s) for RC-2A or RC-3 must differ from those of the K-2000-DVA.
3. The RC-2A or RC-3 should be set for maximum ring delay (15 rings for RC-2A, 31 rings for RC-3).
C. Configuring the K-2000-DVA for use with the RC-2A or RC-3
1. The security and access codes for the K-2000-DVA must differ from those of the RC-2A or RC-3.
2. The K-2000-DVA must be set to answer in fewer rings than the RC-2A/RC-3.
D. Accessing the K-2000-DVA and RC-2A/RC-3
a. While the K-2000-DVA is in “Reporting Mode”
1. Call into the K-2000-DVA and RC-2A/RC-3 combination.
2. When the K-2000-DVA answers, enter Q + the 6 digit access code for the K-2000-DVA. Two beeps will be
heard from the K-2000-DVA and the RC-2A/RC-3 will return either silence or an error tone respectively.
These error tones can be ignored. The K-2000-DVA may now be operated normally.
b. While the K-2000-DVA is in “Polling Mode”
If the K-2000-DVA is in “Polling Mode”, the K-2000-DVA may be operated normally.
2. Accessing the RC-2A or RC-3
While online with the K-2000-DVA, enter Q + the 3 or 6 digit access code for the RC-2A or RC-3 respectively. The
RC-2A/RC-3 may now be operated normally.
Note: The “force hang-up” command will not automatically release
the line, the user must hang-up.
Reporting Mode - The mode of operation in which the K-2000-DVA has been triggered to dial out,
for purposes of making contact with a party.
Polling Mode - The mode of operation in which a calling party has called into the K-2000-DVA for
purposes of retrieving or clearing stored messages.
Important Potential Conflicts - The RC-3 may be programmed while on-line with
the K-2000-DVA. However, due to potential Touch Tone conflicts, programming
of the K-2000-DVA should NOT be attempted while on-line with RC-2A or RC-3.
Programming of the K-2000-DVA via the RS-232 port is unaffected by this conflict
and is the preferred method of programming.
