Voice/Fax Channel Setup

29 The Voice/Fax Channel setup dialog box is displayed. Its three tabs are used to define the voice/fax
channel interface, voice coder, fax parameters, and regional phone parameters (tone pairs) for each
channel.
Configure each channel for the type of interface you are connecting to. The Interface tab defaults to
Channel 1 in the Select Channel field.
30 The Interface group defaults to FXS (Loop Start). Select the interface option that corresponds to
the interface type being connected to the Voice/Fax connector on the back panel of the MultiFRAD.
If you are connecting a station device; e.g., an analog telephone, fax machine, or KTS telephone
system to the Voice/Fax connector on the back of the unit, FXS (Loop Start) will likely be the correct
Interface option.
If the station device uses ground start, then choose the FXS (Ground Start) option. Refer to the
device's user documentation.
If you are using an analog extension from your PBX, then choose the FXO option. Check with your
in-house phone personnel to verify connection type.
If you are connecting to an analog trunk on your PBX, then choose the E&M option.
If you choose the FXO interface, the Dialing Options Regeneration group is enabled. Check with your
local in-house phone personnel to verify whether your local PBX dial signaling is Pulse or tone
(DTMF). Then, set the Regeneration option accordingly.
If you choose the E&M interface, then the E&M Options group is enabled. Check with your local in-
house phone personnel to determine if the signaling is Dial Tone or Wink and if the connection is 2-
wire or 4-wire. If Wink signaling is used, then the Wink Timer is enabled with a default of 250
milliseconds. The range of the Wink Timer is from 100 to 350 milliseconds. Consult with your local in-
house phone personnel for this timer setting.
If you want to dedicate a local voice/fax channel to a remote voice/fax channel (so you will not have
to dial the remote channel), click the Auto Call Enable option in the Auto Call group. Then enter the
appropriate DLCI in the DLCI Number field. Change the Channel number to the channel of the
remote MultiFRAD you want to call.
If you enable the Auto Call feature, this channel will not have to be entered in the Phone Directory
Database; you will have a direct line whenever you pick up the receiver.
Note: After configuring a given channel (1 or 2), you can copy that channel's configuration to the
other channel by selecting the other channel in the "Duplicate To" group and clicking the Copy
button. Everything on the Interface tab will be copied to the other channel.
