I have an older PA-2A and we recently switched to a different carrier for our phone service. The paging works but the loud ring feature no longer works. I looked on your website but the new PA-2A looks different than the one I have.

I have a new AES-2000 and when I try to connect with it to program it, I get a message that says, “No Data Received”. When I click “OK”, the unit disconnects. What am I doing wrong?
When you open the AES Remote software and select your unit’s name, you need to click on “Setup” and then “Parameters”.  On the “System Parameters” screen, t...

On a model CTG-1, can I set a different schedule for Wednesday?

The computer I have always used to program my CTG-2 crashed, so I had to replace it with a new one. Is there a way to capture the data from the CTG-2 and save it to the new computer?
Yes there is and we have a written procedure on how to do it.  See DOD # 899 for complete details.

I am wiring a C-2000, C-2000A or C-2000B into a trunk port/FXO Port on my phone system and I get a constant clicking from the controller when I access that trunk port/FXO port. What does this mean?
This usually means the controller needs to be programmed into the “*5” mode (“dial 9 to access the outside line”).  The description of this mode is found in...
