You can attached wired light stacks to Call Stations and I/O Modules. There are default settings for the module but they can be changed and added.

Call Station Configuration – this configuration is based on a 5 color stack light with Green at the top then Red, Blue, White and Amber. Green is wired to O5, Red to O1, Blue to O2, White to O3 and Amber to O4.

1. Open the VT3000 web interface – log in – click on the Configuration icon – click on the Devices icon.
|[[Image:CallUsBtn.png|Call Now 858-677-6766]]
 
|
2. Click on the Call Station that you wish to configure to highlight it – click on the Edit button.
|[[Image:SubmitTckBtn.png|link=https://www.versacall.com/customer-support/service-ticket]]
 
|
3. Click on the Discrete Outputs tab.

|}
4. First enter a name (light color) for each output. Click on the first output in the list – it will highlight.
<br>
 
----
5. A Properties screen will show on to the right of the output list - explanation of the options below:
----
 
<br>
a. Description – enter the name of the output. For call stations this would be the color of the light in the light stack.
[[File:GeneralHeader.png]]
b. Type – there are 3 options available.
<br>
i. Normal – this means the light will act normally meaning when it is turned on the light will come on independent of any other output.
{|style="margin:left; width: 100px; background:#eaf3ff; padding:5px; border:2px solid #000000;"
ii. Disabled – this option will disable the output, it will no longer work.
|-
iii. Related – this option allows the light to come on when another is on or off. You will configure this using the Direct and Inverse settings at the bottom of the page.
|<big>'''Overview'''</big>
c. Inverted – click this if you want the output to be opposite of the default setting. An example of this would be the light stays on when the button is not pressed the blinks or goes off when the button is pressed.
{|style="margin:left; width: 800px; background:#F0F0F0; padding:5px; border:2px solid #000000;"
d. On Delay – enter a number of milliseconds that you want to elapse before the light comes on.
|valign="top" |
e. Off Delay – enter a number of milliseconds that you want to elapse before the light goes off.
|-
f. Blink On – enter the number of milliseconds that you want the light to blink on.
|This guide explains how to setup the output connections to control a light stack that is attached/wired to a Call station. The example shown in the guide is for a 5 color light stack attached to a Call Station. Regardless of how many lights you have in your stack, the instructions will be exactly the same.
g. Blink Off – enter the number or milliseconds that you want the light to blink off.
|}
h. Direct – this section will only show for a Related Output Type. Click to place a check mark in the box next to the output you want to be directly related to the output. An example would be that you want another output/light to turn on when one of the other outputs turns on.
|}
i. Inverse – this section will only show for a Related Output Type. Click to place a check mark in the box next to the output you want to be inversely related to the output. An example would be that you want another output/light to turn on when the output is off (Green light is one when the others in the light stack are off the off when any other light is on).
<br>
 
{|style="margin:left; width: 100px; background:#eaf3ff; padding:5px; border:2px solid #000000;"
6. For our example, we will set up a typical light stack attached to a Call Station. This means the colored light for the button/output will come on when it is pressed/activated.

|<big>'''Requirements'''</big>
a. Description – as per our 5-color stack light configuration this will be the Red Light.
{|style="margin:left; width: 800px; background:#F0F0F0; padding:5px; border:2px solid #000000;"
b. Type – leave this as normal.
|valign="top" |
c. Inverted – leave this unchecked.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" width="775px;"

Overview
This guide explains how to setup the output connections to control a light stack that is attached/wired to a Call station. The example shown in the guide is for a 5 color light stack attached to a Call Station. Regardless of how many lights you have in your stack, the instructions will be exactly the same.


Requirements
See Requirements Here
1. The VT3000 Core Software installed and running on your system.
2. A Coordinator must be setup, powered and communicating with the VT3000 Core Software.
3. A Powered Call Station w/Light Stack attached communicating with the VT3000 Software.
4. A Call Station Configuration setup in the VT3000 Software.


Completion Steps
LightPart1.png LightPart2A.png LightPart3.png



InstructionHeader.png

Step 1.
Open the VT3000 web interface – select VT3000 Core Software - log in – select Configuration – select Devices.
3137 1.png
3137 2.png
Configuration Devices



Step 2.
Select the Configuration of the Call Station with a Light Stack attached from the list – select Edit.
3137 3.png



Step 3.
Select the Discrete Outputs tab.
3137 4.png



Step 4.
Select Discrete Output 1.
3137 6.png



Step 5.
Discrete Output Properties
3137 7.png
Description – enter a name for the output – light color.
Type – Normal – output will turn on/off when commanded.
Inverted – output will do the opposite of normal.
Default State - what behavior the output will perform when it has no command.
On Delay – number of milliseconds to elapse before the output turns on.
Off Delay – number of milliseconds to elapse before the output turns off.
Blink On – number of milliseconds to stay on during blink.
Blink Off – number or milliseconds to stay off during blink.



Step 6.
Setup Discrete Output 1 as the Red Light. This is done because the Red Light is wired into O1 on the Call Station.
3141 10.png
Description – enter Red Light.
Type – leave this as normal.
Inverted – leave this unchecked.
Default State – select Off.
On Delay – leave this as Zero.
Off Delay – leave this as Zero.
Blink On – leave this as 5.
Blink Off – leave this as 5.



Step 7.
Setup the other lights in the exact same manner - only the Output Description will change. Examples of each light setup is shown below. Please use the Exact same order that we have shown below as this will match up with the way your Call Station has been wired.
3141 11.png
3141 12.png
3141 13.png



Step 8.
The Green light is setup to do the opposite of each of the other lights. For this reason, the Green light configuration is setup differently - we use a Related Type. The image below shows the options available for a Related Type:
3137 8.png
Description – enter a name for the output – light color.
Type – Related – output will turn on/off when another selected output is on/off.
Inverted – output will do the opposite of normal.
On Delay – number of milliseconds to elapse before the output turns on.
Off Delay – number of milliseconds to elapse before the output turns off.
Direct – output will do the exact same behavior as another selected output.
Inverse – output will do the opposite behavior as another selected output.



Step 9.
Discrete Output 5 Properties;
3141 14.png
Description – enter Green Light.
Type – select Related.
Inverted – leave this unchecked.
On Delay – leave this as zero.
Off Delay – leave this as zero.
Direct – leave these all unchecked.
Inverse – check mark DO1, DO2, DO3 and DO4. This tells the Green light to do the opposite of the other lights.



Step 10.
Select Save & Exit to save the setup - proceed to Step 3.
