5 To connect an adjunct to an analog multiline telephone:

b Connect the other end to the VT jack on a General Purpose Adapter
(GPA).
c Connect the cord from the adjunct to the TEL/EQUIP jack on the GPA.
d Go to Step 7.
Refer to "General Purpose Adapter" below for additional information.
6 Insert the other end of the adjunct cord directly into the port for the
logical ID on the 012 or 016 module as indicated on the system form. Go
to Step 7.
7 Test the adjunct by dialing its associated extension.
General Purpose Adapter
A General Purpose Adapter (GPA) lets you connect a T/R device—such as a
single-line telephone or modem—to an analog multiline telephone. The device
must be touch-tone, not rotary.
NOTES:
1. The GPA is intended for answer-only service, unless the telephone has
direct access to a line. It does not have touch-tone receivers or pulse dial
detectors; therefore, the associated analog multiline telephone must dial
calls.
2. The GPA cannot be used with a MERLIN II System Display Console.
3. When the system forms indicate a GPA for installation of an adjunct, follow
the steps below.
1 Plug one end of a 4-pair adjunct D8AC cord into the VT jack on the back
of the GPA.
2 Plug the other end into the OTHER jack on the underside of the analog
multiline telephone.
3 Plug the cord from the adjunct into the TEL EQUIP jack on the GPA.
