Setting the delay before the ATA/I-ATA answers

Compact Plus System Administration Guide
Analogue equipment includes answering and fax machines as
well as analogue telephones. Analogue equipment is connected to
the Compact Plus system through the Integrated Analogue
Terminal Adapter (I-ATA) or with an external Analogue Terminal
Adapter (ATA). An external ATA responds only to incoming tone
dialling signals.
The ATA and I-ATA allow analogue telephones to access some
Norstar features such as Call Forward, Conference, Transfer, and
Last Number Redial. Telephones connected to the ATA or I-ATA
cannot display the time and date. For information on using
Norstar features from an external analogue telephone connected
to an ATA, refer to Analogue Terminal Adapter User Card.
You can adjust the following settings:
• change the number of rings the analogue equipment waits
before answering a call
• change the extension used for analogue equipment to receive
tone dialling signals
• set whether an external ATA is required and whether it is used
on-site or off-site
• change the Dial mode for outgoing data of an external ATA to
either tone or pulse
• set whether the ATA should receive confirmation and error
tones (only for analogue telephones)
To accommodate the device connected to the ATA, you may want
to lengthen or shorten the delay before the device is able to
receive tones. For example, a modem or fax machine requires
only a short delay.
Refer to ATA Terminal Feature Card for information on using the
ATA features.
See "Chart 16: ATA settings" on page 328 in Appendix A for a
programming overview.
The ATA answer timer controls this delay. The default setting is
a 7-second delay before the speech path is connected.
