Model PB-3-IP is an VoIP Emergency Phone Panic Button designed to mount under
a desk or countertop and provide a quick and reliable way to make a silent
emergency call. The called party can silently monitor the situation or engage in two-
way handsfree communication by entering a touch tone “#”.
The PB-3-IP functions as a SIP end point connecting with a single CAT 5/6 cable
from your POE switch. The unit can be programmed from any PC on the same LAN
or remotely using a static IP address.
The PB-3-IP dials up to 5 emergency numbers and can be programmed to
automatically deliver a digital voice announcement and / or an optional DTMF touch
tone code to identify the location of the emergency call. The red LED integrated into
the push button will light, indicating that an emergency call is in progress.
Installation requires the assistance of a Network Administrator / IT Technician.

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
technology. An Ethernet Local Area Network typically uses twisted pair wires to
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
protocol which can be accessed by individual computers or networks.
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
server reserves an address it has assigned. If the address isn’t used by the host for a period of
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 routers to send network traffic to the correct
IP address. You can find the MAC address of your PB-3-IP phone printed on a white label on the top surface of the PoE LAN port.
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
) networks. The protocol defines the messages that are sent between endpoints,
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
limitations of a Dynamic IP Address assigned by the DHCP Server. The default static IP Address is: 192.168.154.1
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 that start with 100.100.100. would be part of the
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.

B. Manually Muting SIP/Network Failure Alarm Beeps (3 beeps repeated every 30 seconds)
With the unit connected and powered (Green LED on and Yellow LED off or blinking) it will output 3 beeps every 30
seconds and turn the Panic Button LED on and off once per second indicating a SIP registration failure, failure to receive
an echo reply from a pinged gateway or Ethernet connection failure. You can manually disable the beeps by pressing
and holding the Panic Button for 5 seconds (2 beeps will then be heard) or by clicking the “Mute Alarm Until Next Failure”
tab in the Viking IP programming software. The Panic Button LED will continue to flash allowing you to troubleshoot the
failure.
A. Connect / Disconnect
Open the “Viking IP Programming” software on the PC and the start screen shown below will appear. Any Viking IP
phones that are connected to the network will appear on the list. Simply select the PB-3-IP on the list and click on the
“Connect” button at the bottom or double click the selected phone. If the security code of the selected phone is still set
to default (845464), the PC software will not require entering a security code to connect to the phone. PB-3-IP have a
default name of “VIKING_MK64_Vik02”, so if many phones are connected to the same network that all have the default
name, MAC addresses must be used to identify each phone.
When finished programming, click on the “Disconnect” button at the bottom. Closing the program will also automatically
disconnect the unit.

3. Peer to Peer Settings
When set to the Peer to Peer mode, a SIP server is not used. The PB-3-IP will register to itself. Applications for the
Peer to Peer mode are very limited, as the PB-3-IP is only able to call other IP phones or SIP devices that are on the
same LAN. The PB-3-IP can not call analog extensions, digital phone extensions, telephone numbers that are outside
the phone system or another handsfree Viking IP device in this mode (see note below). To use the unit in the Peer to
Peer mode, change the drop-down in the “SIP Server / Peer to Peer Settings” from “Server” to “Peer to Peer”, a
Username must be assigned (can be any alpha/numeric string up to 31 characters) and the unit should be programmed
with a static IP address. Here is an example to show how the calling process works:
PB-3-IP Destination IP Phone
IP Address 192.168.210.1 192.168.210.3
Extension Number N/A 200
Username Viking1 N/A
PB-3-IP calling the IP phone – you populate the first phone number field with [email protected] (the extension number
you are trying to call + @ + the IP address of the extension you are calling).
The IP phone calling the PB-3-IP – a button on the IP phone is configured to dial [email protected] (the Username
assigned in the PB-3-IP + @ + the IP address of the PB-3-IP).
Note: A Viking handsfree IP Device calling another Viking handsfree IP Device is not recommended.
6. Register Fails (No Action, Re-Resolve or Alternate Server)
4. Outbound Proxy
If your SIP provider requires an outbound proxy IP address enter it in the Outbnd Proxy field. If outbound proxy is not
required leave this field blank.
5. Authentication ID
If your SIP provider requires Authentication ID, enter it in the Authentic. ID field. If Authentication ID is not required,
leave this field blank.
2. SIP Server
1. Unit Name
Up to a 31 character unit name can be assigned to the PB-3-IP Phone being programmed.
Programming Features
In the event the registration with the server is lost, you can program the unit to take no action, re-resolve using the
current SIP server or register to an alternate SIP server. If an alternate server is not available, the Re-resolve option
provides the best reliability. If switching to an alternate server is desired, enter the IP address of the alternate server in
the field to the right of the Register Fails drop-down box. The same SIP credentials are used when registering with the
alternate SIP server. Note: With an alternate SIP server IP address programmed, the IP address for the SIP server and
alternate SIP server will be limited to 31 characters.
Enter the IP address or URL of your SIP server or service provider in this field. The SIP server IP address is limited to
74 characters. Note: If an alternate SIP server IP address is programmed, the IP address for the SIP server and
alternate SIP server will be limited to 31 characters each.
12
7. Emergency Phone Numbers
Note: Up to 79 digits can be stored in each of the 5 speed dial phone number positions.
The number programmed in the first location under “Emergency Numbers” is the telephone or extension number that is
dialed when the panic button is pressed. Additional numbers (if programmed) will be dialed when there is no answer and
the Dial Next No. on Ring No Answer feature is enabled. The PB-3-IP
Phone will also detect busy and move on (Dial Next
Number on Busy Enabled). The PB-3-IP Phone will cycle through the programmed Emergency numbers until answered.
The security code allows the user/installer to program the PB-3-IP phone. Programming can be done by way of a PC
and Viking IP Programming software or limited programming can be done using the touch tone program mode. If the
security code of the PB-3-IP is still set to default (845464), the PC software will not require entering a security code to
connect to the phone. It is recommended however, that the factory set security code be changed.
Factory Setting: 845464 Note: The security code must be 6 digits and cannot include a Q or a #.
Note: A majority of the features below can also be Touch Tone (In-Band DTMF) programmed, see DOD 949.
8. Security Code
The ID Number (1 - 6 digits) is used by emergency personnel to identify the location of the caller and is given out when
the receiving party presses a Q. This ID number is transmitted as In-Band DTMF or RFC 2833. This can be cleared out
by leaving the field blank. Factory Setting: 987654 (RFC 2833 format)
9. ID Number:
10. Access Code
The Access Code adds basic security on inbound calls in the Auto AnswerSecure or Auto Answer Inbound Call Modes.
It is useful for installations where only select personnel are allowed to monitor audio or control the relay of the PB-3-IP.
The code can be 1 to 6 digits in length, can not contain a “Q” or “#” or match the numbers used for the security code.
Once programmed, simply call the PB-3-IP phone, the unit will automatically answer the line and output 1 beep. You
can then enter the programmed 1 to 6 digit Access Code and 2 beeps will be heard. Communication with the PB-3-IP
is now established and/or touch tone commands can be dialed to control the relay.
On outbound calls from the PB-3-IP, the Access Code does not need to be entered prior to monitoring the PB-3-IP’s
audio or controlling the relay. If however, emergency personnel may be calling back to the PB-3-IP, they will need to
enter the Access Code or the call will be dropped after 10 seconds. Information about the requirement to enter a valid
Access Code could be included in the PB-3-IP’s voice announcement to remind emergency personnel to enter the
Access Code. Factory Setting: Disabled
13
13. Relay Internal / External
With the relay set to “Internal” the PB-3-IP Phone will activate its on board relay for door strike / gate control. The Relay
should be set to “External” for higher security installations when using a Viking remote model RC-4A relay controller
to activate the door strike / gate controller (see DOD 582). Factory Setting: Internal
The PB-3-IP Emergency Announcement can be uploaded with any user edited WAV file. See “WAV File Guidelines”
below. Alternatively the announcement can be recorded via a telephone call (See section 12 below).
WAV File Guidelines:
Note: Applications such as Sound Forge, Audacity, and Windows Sound Recorder can be used to create the WAV files.
11. Audio File (optional)
1. The WAV file should be 8 or 16 bit PCM mono or stereo.
2. Sampling rates of 8k,16k or 32kHz are acceptable.
3. The WAV file may be stereo or multi-channel, but only the Left Channel will be loaded.
4. When saved, wave files will be converted to 8KHz, mono, 16 bit, PCM.
5. The internal flash memory can hold up to 28 seconds of recorded audio.
12. Recording Emergency Announcement from a Phone
Step 1. Call into the PB-3-IP with a Touch Tone phone and access programming by entering the security code (845464 is the factory default).
Step 2.
Enter Q4, wait for the tone and then begin recording (28 seconds of record time is available).
Step 3. Enter # to stop the recording. Playback (for reviewing) is automatic.
Step 4.
Enter Q5 to review the announcement again.
Step 5.
If you choose to not use a voice announcement, enter Q 3 to clear the recording.
Example: “Emergency, Hudson High School classroom 243 needs assistance. Press the asterisk (Q) key on your telephone to hear this
announcement again. Press “#” key for two-way communications.
14
When set to “Enabled” the Operation Commands (Q0 to Q1) to Un-Latch or Latch the relay are enabled. These can be
entered on a Inbound call after the access code is dialed (if programmed).
When set to “Disabled” the Operation Commands (Q0 to Q1) to Un-Latch or Latch the relay are disabled. Disabling the
Latch commands can be useful in applications where you want to eliminate the possibility of inadvertently entering a
latch command leaving a gate open/closed, etc. Factory Setting: Enabled
18. Relay Latch Commands
The relay activation tone is a buzzing sound that is heard from the speaker when the door strike relay is activated.
After the called party enters the correct relay activation command, the called party will hear 2 short confirmation beeps
and the entry phone will output a buzzing sound (relay activation tone) while the door strike relay is activated. The tone
(buzz) length will match the relay activation time up to a maximum of 5 seconds. The tone (buzz) can be programmed
to three different volume settings 1 = Low, 2 = Medium, 3 = High or it can be disabled. Factory Setting: 3
17. Relay Buzz Volume
The one or two digit code stored in the Relay Activation Command is the touch tone command that the person being
called must enter on their phone in order to momentarily activate the relay to control a doorstrike, mag-lock, gate
controller, or other device. The code can contain the characters 0 - 9, # or Q. The code cannot match a relay latching
command (Q1, Q0). The code must be entered while the remote phone is communicating with the Speaker phone.
Factory Setting: QQ
15. Relay Activation Command
The value stored in the Relay Activation Time is the amount of time the relay will be energized after a correct momentary

The Inbound Call Mode determines how the PB-3-IP Phone handles incoming SIP calls. One option is to auto answer
a SIP call for silent monitoring or two way communication. The PB-3-IP Phone can also generate a loud ring sound
from the speaker. Alternatively inbound calls can be disabled when using the PB-3-IP for Panic Button applications,
and the PB-3-IP will only make outbound calls. Factory Setting: Auto Answer
Disabled – Inbound SIP calls are not allowed.
Auto Answer – Inbound SIP calls are auto answered on the first ring. This can also be used for Silent Monitoring by
changing the Speaker Mode to ‘OFF/Silent Monitor” (See Programming section 20). For more security use the Auto
Answer Secure Mode. When Auto Answer mode is used, the announcement can “be listened to” (or repeated) by dialing
a “
Q” on an inbound call. If a “#” is dialed during playback, the PB-3-IP will stop the announcement and enable the
speaker. If an access code is programmed and someone calls in, the access code can be dialed to monitor audio or
control the relay of the PB-3-IP. The PB-3-IP will hang up if the access code is not dialed within 10 seconds.
Auto Answer Secure – In the “Auto Answer - Secure” mode, the phone will automatically answer an incoming call and
output 1 beep but will not go into two-way voice mode. After the beep is heard, you will have 10 seconds to enter the
pre-programmed 1 - 6 digit Access Code (see Programming section 10). When the correct code is entered, 2 beeps
will be heard and the unit will enable the Two-Way Mode (mic and speaker audio) or Silent Monitor Mode (mic only),
depending on the Speaker Mode selected. After the correct Access Code is entered, any of the “Operation Commands”
can be used (see Operation section C), when the Relay Mode is set to Door Strike. Note: If the wrong Access Code is
entered or more than 10 seconds have elapsed, the phone will output 3 beeps and disconnect.
Ring: In the “Ring” mode the speaker phone will not automatically answer an incoming call but will output a loud ring
signal out of the speaker in a factory programmed 2 seconds on, 4 seconds off ring pattern. There are four available
ring cadences. The call can then be answered by momentarily pressing the Panic button.
Ring with AGC: In the “Ring with AGC” mode the speaker phone will not automatically answer an incoming call but
will output a loud ring signal out of the speaker in a factory programmed 2 seconds on, 4 seconds off ring pattern.
There are four available ring cadences. The phone will automatically increase or decrease the ring volume based on
background ambient noise. The call can then be answered by momentarily pressing the Panic button.
30. Inbound Call Mode
28. Lap Counter
With the lap counter disabled, if the PB-3-IP Phone is programmed to dial the next number on ring-no-answer and/or
busy signal, the PB-3-IP Phone will continuously call its programmed phone numbers forever until the call is answered.
The lap counter is a programmable counter that determines how many times the PB-3-IP Phone will cycle through its
list of up to 5 Emergency phone numbers, before it stops the dialing process and hangs up. When all of the programmed
phone numbers have been dialed, the lap counter is incremented and the dialing process repeats. When the lap counter
has been met, the dialing process stops and the PB-3-IP Phone hangs up. Factory Setting: Disabled
This feature selects the maximum length of time that calls can be connected. Programmable in increments of 1 minute
up to a maximum of 9 minutes or disabled. With the call length disabled, the PB-3-IP Phone must rely on a call ended
signal or other methods of disconnect detection. Factory Setting: Disabled

Operation
A. “Panic” Button
When the “Panic” button is pressed, the PB-3-IP phone dials a pre-programmed telephone or extension number. The Panic Button
LED may momentarily flash during dialing, depending on the LED Mode selected (see Programming section 35). In the event the
first telephone or extension number is busy or there is ring-no-answer, the unit can be programmed to call additional phone numbers.
The unit then cycles through up to 5 pre-programmed numbers until the call is answered. When the call is answered, the digital voice
announcement will automatically play to identify the location of the emergency call. The PB-3-IP is factory programmed to play the
announcement once and then automatically light the Panic Button LED to show that handsfree communication to personnel is
established. The “Q” key will send the I.D. number (if programmed) and play the announcement again. The distant party will know
the location of the emergency call by either the voice announcement, the caller ID information or by decoding the touch tone I.D.
number. When the Speaker Mode is set to the “Off Until Answered” mode, the speaker will be muted until the call is answered. When
the Speaker Mode is set to “Off/Silent Monitor”, the speaker will be muted until the party that answers the call dials a “#”. When the
call has been answered and the Relay Mode is set to Door Strike (see Programming section 14), any of the Operation Commands
can be entered (see Operation section C).

The following commands can be entered after answering an outbound call from the PB-3-IP or on an inbound call to the unit, when
the Inbound Call Mode is set to Auto Answer or Auto Answer – Secure. If the Access Code has been disabled (Auto Answer mode
only), you will hear 2 beeps when the unit answers and you can now enter the Operation Commands listed below. If an Access Code
has been programmed, you will hear 1 beep when the unit answers and you must enter the Access Code digits. Once the correct
code has been entered, two beeps will be heard and you can now enter the Operation Commands listed below.
How inbound SIP calls are handled depends on the Inbound Call Mode selected (see Programming section 30). The PB-3-IP can
answer automatically, emit ringing through the speaker and allow users to manually answer by pressing the Panic Button or inbound
calls can be disabled. If the Inbound Call Mode is set to Auto Answer or Auto Answer - Secure, the PB-3-IP will automatically answer
inbound calls. If no Access Code is programmed (default), the PB-3-IP will provide 2 beeps. If an Access Code has been programmed
(the Auto Answer – Secure mode always requires an Access Code), 1 beep will be heard upon answer, 2 beeps will be heard following
entry of the Access Code and if the correct Access Code is not entered within 10 seconds, the PB-3-IP will hang up. After receiving
the 2 beeps, if the Speaker Mode is set to either “OFF Until Answered” or “ON” modes, you will have two-way communication with
the PB-3-IP. If the Speaker Mode is set to “Off/Silent Monitor” (default), microphone audio will be heard allowing you to silently monitor
the PB-3-IP or you may break into two-way communication by entering a touch tone “#”. Pressing the “Q” key will send the I.D.
number (if programmed) and play the voice announcement once.
The Inbound Call Mode also has options that allow the PB-3-IP to output a loud ring on any inbound calls. The Ring option outputs
a programmable fixed volume ring. The Ring with AGC option makes the PB-3-IP vary the volume of the loud ring based on the
background noise around the unit. When the Panic Button is pressed (to manually answer a ringing call), the PB-3-IP will immediately
go into two-way communication regardless of the Speaker Mode selected.

Panic Button with User Recorded ID Message
Model PB-3 is an Emergency Phone Panic Button designed to mount under a desk or
countertop and provide a quick and reliable way to make a silent analog emergency call.
The called party can silently monitor the situation or engage in two-way handsfree
communication by entering a touch tone “#”.
The PB-3 is designed to connect to any standard analog telephone line, analog phone
system station or FXS port. All programming parameters, including phone numbers and
location numbers, are stored in non-volatile memory. The unit is telephone line powered,
requiring no batteries or external power, and is compatible with common Central Station
Monitoring equipment.
The PB-3 dials up to 5 emergency numbers, as well as 2 central station numbers, and
can be easily programmed from any touch tone phone. The Panic Button can be
programmed to automatically deliver a digital announcement identifying the location of the
emergency call, and an optional DTMF touch tone code may also be delivered. The red
LED integrated into the push button will light, indicating that an emergency call is in
progress.
For more information, see DOD 239.
Troubleshooting
If the unit cannot register with the programmed SIP server, the Panic Button LED will blink on and off every two seconds,
and three error beeps will be heard every 30 seconds until communication is restored. This alerts a potential user of a
problem with the device that will prevent an emergency phone call from being made.
You may silence the error beeps, per instance, by pressing and holding the Panic Button for 5 seconds (see PC Programming
section B) or by clicking the “Mute Alarm Until Next Failure” button in the Viking IP Programming Software (see Programming
section 37). The error beeps automatically re-enable once the unit is registered, to alert of any new problems that arise.
