Viking PA2A time out timer for all page button on release 9 software?

[telemarksman]

I am resurrecting this older thread with a twist.

I put in an ACS R6 for customer who had an older IP Office ( not sure if it was the original type?) that he did not like.

He had an existing Viking PA2A paging / loud ringer combo already setup.

Now when he hits the all page button I think it is *70, but it may be *71? on his PARTNER AVAYA

Anyhow, because he is an older gentleman he does not hang up his Ext.10 after one of his employees answers him via hands free answer back.
So after about 25 seconds the Ext. 10 which originated the all page starts getting an obnoxious busy tone type of warble?

Any ideas on programming an auto disconnect situation?

So my new question is: If I install another IP Office, Does the IP Office release 9 have a programmable time out field for the paging prompt?

Thank you all!

The mention of *70 makes me suspect that the IP Office is running in Basic Edition mode. If that is the case, then unfortunately I don't think you can make calls timeout.

If its running in any other mode and *70 just happens to be the short code used to setup paging, then you can add t1 to the short code Telephone number to have the system automatically hang up after a minute (sadly the option only works in whole minutes).

Having just scanned through Vikings excellent guide (

there doesn't appear to be a way to auto-disconnect at that end after a set time either.
