Telephony Channel Controls
Using the Telephone Interface
The telephone interface may be taken off hook by pressing the phone button on the controls page. Once
the telephone is off hook, dial digits by pressing the keys on the keypad.
Please note that the telephone must be taken off hook before digits may be dialed. This behavior is different
from the Vortex products where dialing digits if the phone were on hook would cause the phone to go off
hook. With the SoundStructure products, the phone must be taken off hook prior to dialing.
Enabling Auto Answer
Enabling auto answer sets the SoundStructure device to answer the phone automatically after two rings.
Enabling Entry Tones
Entry tones enabled causes the SoundStructure device to play a short series of tones into the local room to
indicate that the phone was answered.
Exit Tone
Enabling exit tones sets the SoundStructure device to play a short series of tones into the local room to
indicates that the phone was hung up.
Enabling Ring Tones
Enabling ring tones sets the SoundStructure device to play ring tones into the local room when the
telephone line rings.
If Ring Tone is disabled no ring tone is heard although a phone_ring status message is generated by the
SoundStructure device when the phone is ringing.
