Chapter 4: TL500A Program Registers
REGISTER 06 — Night Watch Mode Rings
This Register contains the number of rings to the phone device port after Night
Watch Mode (Register 05) has been activated. This number is usually less than
register 05 but can range from 1 to 15. Factory preset is 2 rings.
REGISTER 07 — Emergency Barge In
This register contains the mask that determines if Devices 1, 2, 3, and 4 can barge
in and gain access to the telephone line by going off-hook during a call. The four
mask bits can be set to any combination of values, allowing all, some, or none of
Devices 1 through 4 access to the line during an emergency or to just have
priority.
NOTE: When programming this register, you must enter all Flag (Bit) values. The
flags are preset to the following:
Flag 1 (Bit 3) Device 4 Barge-in Mask 0 (off)
Flag 2 (Bit 2) Device 3 Barge-in Mask 0 (off)
Flag 3 (Bit 1) Device 2 Barge-in Mask 0 (off)
Flag 4 (Bit 0) Device 1 Barge-in Mask 0 (off)
Register 8 must also be set to a positive number to activate barge-in.
REGISTER 08 — Barge-In Time
This register contains the amount of time that a telephone receiver must be held

2-second multiplier for each digit. Factory preset to 0 (off).
REGISTER 09 — Security Programming Time Window
