Introduction And General Notes - Mircom TAS-2000 Series Installation And Operation Manual

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL NOTES

Mircom's TAS-2000 Series of Telephone Access Units provides high quality two way communication between
residents and their visitors in a multi-unit dwelling establishment.
The TAS-2000 may be used as an NSL system which does not require a subscriber phone line since it uses the
existing telephone lines for communication, this is known as the non-subscriber line access (NSL). The TAS-2000
may be used with a dedicated subscriber phone line, this is known as the auto dialler telephone access (ADC).
Both system setups can be configured for multiple entrances with independent doors and control devices such as
electric door locks, cameras and garage doors. The TAS-2000 system can be operated in two basic modes ...
ADC: (AutoDialler) This mode uses one or more Lobby Units connected to an outside Telephone Line for
calling access to Suites. This mode also allows the visitor access to any voice mail capabilities and
call waiting if present on the resident telephone line.
NSL: (Non-Subscriber Line) This mode uses one or more Lobby Units connected to 2008M NSL Units
in the electrical/telephone room of a building. The NSL Units intercept all Telephone Lines into the
Building's Suites, allowing the system to seize the line after checking to see if it is in use, and call the
Suite.
