The TLS-3B also provides Caller Identification information to both lines, and lights a Visual Message Waiting indicator. In other words, the TLS-3B is a simple telephone network in a box. When a telephone connection is not available, or when installing a temporary...
(blink) when the TLS-3B is operating. (Single blink = Setup 1, double blink = Setup 2. See Section 5 for more information.) If the Power indica- tor is dark, no power is connected to the TLS-3B. If it lights, but does not flicker, the TLS-3B’s internal processor is not working properly.
TLS-3B when the other line is off hook. Installing a Call Identifier In order to use the TLS-3B’s Caller ID feature, you must use an external call identifier, or a telephone set with Caller ID built in. In most cases, the call identifier goes between the TLS-3B and the telephone set, but follow the instructions supplied with the call identifier.
3. How to Operate the TLS-3B The TLS-3B has one talk path between the two lines. When a telephone connected to either line goes off-hook while the other is still on-hook, the off-hook telephone receives dial tone. If a telephone is already off-hook, the second telephone will not receive dial tone (silence).

Forced Disconnect Cutoff On Disconnect (COD) or Forced Disconnect, as it is also called, is a feature provided by the TLS-3B. COD is a break in loop current that is sent to the off-hook telephone when the other party goes on-hook (hangs up).
(If there is not at least a three-second silence, Caller ID will not be sent). 3. Some Caller ID Devices require a seven-digit telephone number. If this is the case with the device you are using, program the TLS-3B with seven-digit numbers.

OSI (Open Switching Interval) which is a period of silence after some action. The TLS-3B can be used to simulate this signal (VMWI) by going off-hook on one of the lines and enteirng 50 to activate VMWI or 51 to de-activate VMWI for the other line.
5. Programming the TLS-3B The TLS-3B has a long list of features and functions that a user can configure from a touchtone telephone connected to either line. The TLS- 3B will store two separate configurations in memory. This enables, for example, two separate groups (such as Engineering and Sales) to set up and use the TLS-3B for their applications.

Hook-flash Detect When Hook-flash detect is active, the TLS-3B will detect a switchhook flash after the other line has answered. The TLS-3B will return dial tone and allow the user to dial test numbers or one of the port numbers.
20#time# This command specifies the amount of time after the currently selected line goes off hook before the TLS-3B sends dial tone. The time variable sets the duration in 100 mS increments and the range is 0 to 511. The factory default is 100 mS , i.e.

Busy Signal This command defines the response to a busy condition. If the other line is off-hook when you dial its number, the TLS-3B will return an audible busy indication, which may be either a busy signal or a reorder tone.
