Overview
This guide explains how to Control or Use the lights in the light stack that is attached/wired to the Call Station. The VersaCall system uses Actions to turn Outputs (lights for this guide) On, Off or Blink. This guide shows a typical setup for the lights where button 1 uses output/light 1 etc. If you have a need for something different, please go through the guide so that you get a good understanding of how things work then setup what makes sense for your needs.

3. A Powered Call Station w/Light Stack attached communicating with the VT3000 Software.
