Dial In; Rings Until Answer; Tad Enable/Disable - Phonetics SENSAPHONE EXPRESS II User Manual

DIAL IN [3]

The following parameters determine how Express II will
communicate when the unit is called.
1. Rings Until Answer - This parameter determines the
number of rings that must occur before Express II will
answer. This value can be from 1 to 15. The default is 1
ring.
2. Telephone Answering Device compatibility (TAD) -
Express II can be used on the same telephone line that also
has a telephone answering device, such as an answering
machine, modem or FAX. The TAD feature is especially
useful because it integrates the operation of the Express II
with your telephone answering device in a way that retains
the full flexibility of each system. This allows you to have
on-demand telephone access to the Express II, for obtaining
a Status Report, or for issuing call-in commands, while your
telephone answering device is set to receive outside calls.
Programming for use with a telephone answering device
(TAD) is always used in conjunction with RINGS UNTIL
ANSWER, detailed on this page.
NOTE: The TAD feature only applies to answering devices
connected to the same telephone line as the Express II.
USING TAD:
By enabling this feature, you will be able to bypass the
answering device and access Express II for a status report
or programming. If there are no other devices hooked up to
the phone line, this feature should be disabled. The default
is disabled.
) Make sure the TAD feature is enabled. The default
1
setting is disabled, so you must enable it initially.
2) Determine the number of rings your telephone answering
device uses to answer the telephone. Most answering
devices require 4 rings; others are selectable.
3) Program the Express II RINGS UNTIL ANSWER to a
greater number than that of the number of rings set on
your answering device.
Example:
Telephone answering device: rings = 4.
Express II: RINGS UNTIL ANSWER = 6.
