The 100A Tip/Ring Module
Issue 11 December 1999
20-21
The module also has a special detector which senses if the analog adjunct is
on-hook or off-hook, and the module, therefore, is able to disconnect the analog
adjunct at the end of a call. However, whether the analog adjunct responds to a
request to hang up depends on the design of the analog adjunct.
Applications
The Tip/Ring module can ONLY be used with the Modular 6416D+M and
6424D+M telephones; that is, the telephone desktop stand must have a module
opening in which the module can be installed. Once installed, the module has an
analog adjunct jack to which the analog adjunct equipment can be connected.
The 6400 Series telephones have been developed to be used with the DEFINITY
ProLogix system, but can also be used with the larger DEFINITY ECS
Release 6.1 and later. These telephones, and thus the attached Tip/Ring module,
CANNOT be used with any DEFINITY release prior to Release 6.1. For
information on how the Tip/Ring module can be used with DEFINITY releases
after Release 6.1, see “Considerations” below.
For more information about the 6400 Series telephones, see the material included
in the 6400 Series Telephones section earlier in this manual.
Considerations
The manner in which the telephone and the analog adjunct interact depends on
the switch release to which your telephone is connected. (Your system manager
can give you more information about the switch release.)
■ On DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server (ECS) releases prior to
Release 8.1, going back to Release 6.1, the analog adjunct shares the
telephone line with the voice terminal. Therefore, while the telephone is
being used, you cannot use the analog adjunct at the same time, or vice
versa.
■ On the DEFINITY ECS Release 8.1 and later, the telephone and the
analog adjunct can be assigned separate telephone lines, and thus the
voice terminal and analog adjunct can be used simultaneously.
