Capabilities and Preferences - ATA settings tab

Analog telephones have some settings that are specific to the analog connection. An analog
telephone can be connected to the system directly through an analog modem, indirectly to a digital
modem through an ATA2, and indirectly through a FEM (no longer supported) if the analog
module is on a legacy Norstar system. These settings apply only when the DN record Model field
is set to Other.

Description
Select the length of delay between the last digit you dial and when the ATA2 device
is ready to receive DTMF tone.
Not selected: No tones occur when a message is received (use for data equipment).
Selected: Tones occur when a message is received (use for analog telephones).
Select the location of the ATA2.
Note: Set the field to Onsite for all installations except devices on a long loop. Set
the field to Offsite to increase the audio level to devices that are remote to the
ATA2. This field has no effect for ASM and ASM8+ devices.
Tone sends a Message Tone through the telephone receiver when you receive a
message.
Lamp turns on the Message Lamp when you receive a message.
Default: Modem
Devices connected to the system through an ATA can have connectivity issues over
BRI/PRI lines. To alleviate this, you can specify the type of device attached to the
analog line.
Modem supports 3.1 kHz audio, which requires a higher quality of service on the
ISDN trunks which modems and FAX machines require for reliable information
transfer. If the trunks cannot provide the higher level of service, the call will fail.
Telephon supports speech paths, which require less quality on the trunk; if used for
FAX and/or modem, information transfer would be unreliable.
