Operating instructions

INSTALLATION
The following section covers installation of
your Versa-Link ATX-300 in various
applications.
Your “ATX-300 INSTALLATION MANUAL”
contains more detailed information about most
telephone systems and applications.
NOTE: You may want to call a local telephone
service company (listed in the Yellow Pages
under “Telephone Equipment and Service”) to
install the necessary jacks between the tele-
phone company’s line and your internal wiring.
5.1 INITIAL CHECK-OUT
Your ATX-300 shipping carton should contain
the following equipment:
- Your Versa-Link ATX-300
- An AC wall transformer with cord
- One modular telephone cable
Plug the AC wall transformer into an electrical
outlet (110 Volt AC, 50-60 Hz) and plug its
power cord into the power connector on the
back of your ATX-300. The AUTO indicator on
the front of your ATX-300 should now be lit,
showing that power is supplied and the
ATX-300 is operating in AutoAnswer mode. If
either the STBY or SEMI indicators are lit,
then repeatedly press and release the mode
selector switch on the front panel until the
AUTO indicator is lit.
5.2 CONNECTING TO
THE PHONE LINE
WHAT LINE DO I USE?
Locate and identify the telephone line to which
you plan to attach your ATX-300. If you are
using a multi-line telephone system with
rollover, use the last line in the rollover
sequence.
WHERE DO / CONNECT MY ATX-300
Locate a point on the line between the
telephone company and all existing telephone
equipment and extensions attached to this
line. Disconnect all telephone equipment and
extensions from the telephone line. They will
later be re-connected to the telephone line
THROUGH your ATX-300. You may need to
install RJ-11 jacks to facilitate installation of
your ATX-300.
IMPORTANT: One function of your ATX-300 is
to receive incoming calls and then distribute
them to the proper equipment. For this reason
it is VERY important that your ATX-300 be
installed ahead of all existing telephone
extensions and equipment.

5.3 RE-CONNECT
YOUR TELEPHONE
SYSTEM
If you are using this line for voice communi-
cation, you will need to reconnect your
telephone system THROUGH THE ATX-300.
First, you will want to determine what type of
phone system you have.
