Operating instructions

OPERATION
The CALL OPTI-MIZER feature will count
the number of times the telephone (attached
to DEVICE 1) rings, after an incoming call
has been screened for Auto-dial FAX tones
and device codes. If the phone is not
answered in 5 rings (this number is pro-
grammable
- see section 7.3), your ATX-
300 will assume that the office is unat-
tended, and that this call and all future calls
should go to the FAX.
Your ATX-300 will immediately begin ringing
this call to the FAX. (If your FAX has
programmable ring selection, set it to
answer on the earliest possible ring)
At this time, your ATX-300 begins to operate
in NIGHT FUNCTION. Now, incoming calls
will ring your telephone system only 2 times
(programmable
- see section 7.3), and then
immediately ring the FAX. This will allow
future incoming calls to go to the FAX
sooner, with less chance of the caller
hanging up before the FAX answers.
NIGHT FUNCTION is de-activated when
you answer an incoming telephone call on
this line within 2 rings or make an outgoing
call on this line. Your ATX-300 will now
operate in normal daytime function. This
method of determining day/night/weekend is
much simpler than using a clock or calendar
which must continually be updated.
In the above example, a telephone system
was connected to
DEVICE 1, and a FAX to
DEVICE 2. Of course, the other devices
may be substituted to fit your application.
IN SUMMARY, CALL OPTI-MIZER can be
used when: (a) You want all calls after hours
to go to your FAX or MODEM on DEVICE 2
- and - (b) You DO NOT have an answer-
ing machine on the same incoming line as
your FAX or MODEM.
CALL OPTI-MIZER can be used in either
AUTO or SEMI modes. See section 7.1.3 to
activate CALL OPTI-MIZER.
4.2.4 CALLING PARTY
HANG-UP DETECT
Some local telephone companies have a
line disconnect function which is performed
at the central office switch. This disconnect
function detects the phone line voltage drop
that occurs when one party hangs up on a
call. The Versa-Link ATX-300 now has
“Calling Party Hang-up Detect” which
detects the line voltage drop, disconnects
the call routing and resets the Versa-Link for
new calls.
