Combination Extensions - Lucent Technologies PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation Manual

Installation

Combination Extensions

You can connect a standard device (such as a standard phone or an answering
machine) on an extension so that it is by itself, or so that it shares an extension
with another piece of equipment (either another standard device or a system
phone). An extension with two devices connected to it is called a combination
extension . (If you combine a standard phone and a system phone on one
extension, you may want to turn off the standard phone's ringer during normal
use.)
You cannot install two system phones on the same extension, and the combined
REN (Ringer Equivalence Number) of two devices on one extension cannot
exceed 2.0. (The REN for a system phone is 0.0.)
NOTE:
The Call Assistant Intercom Autodialer is not regarded as a standard device.
This means you can connect a standard device to a system phone that also
has an Intercom Autodialer installed.
PARTNER-model system phones have a built-in auxiliary jack so you can connect
a standard device directly to the phone without using a bridging adapter, see
"Using a Direct Connection" which follows. If your phone does not have a
built-in auxiliary jack or if you want to connect two standard devices together, you
must use a Lucent Technologies 267F2 Bridging Adapter, see "Using a Bridging
Adapter" which follows.
Using a Direct Connection
Figure 3 shows how to connect a standard device directly to a system phone,
using the phone's built-in auxiliary jack. (Figure 3 is for illustration purposes only;
the placement of the jacks on your phone may differ.)
