Operating instructions

INSTALLATION
If you are not using FAX, choose the data
device that most of your incoming calls should
go to. Attach this device to the
DEVICE 1
connector on the back of your ATX-300.
Attach the other data devices to the
DEVICE
2
and DEVICE 3 connectors.
If you are not using FAX, or if your FAX is
attached to DEVICE 1, you should disable
auto FAX detection. Set the configuration
switch position 6 to the “down” position.
Unplug the power cord from your ATX-300 for
about 2 seconds and re-connect it to activate
the new switch settings.
5.4.4 Adding an answering
machine
If you use an answering machine, attach it to
the same connector that your telephone
system is attached to. You
may either connect
your telephone system through your answer-
ing machine, if a connector is provided on the
answering machine for that purpose, or you
may need to use a multi-outlet Y-adapter.
You may also want to leave instructions on the
outgoing message to instruct callers on how
to access your data equipment. If you have a
FAX attached to DEVICE 2, remember to give
out your device selection code for access to
your FAX, so that callers with manually dialed
FAX machines can send you messages while
you are not there. A sample message might be:
“Hello, this is
. If you
would like to leave a
FAX message, press
star-two to ring our FAX machine. If you
would like to
leave a voice message,
please begin speaking after the tone.
Thank you for calling.”
5.5 CONFIGURING THE
ATX-300 TO YOUR
APPLICATION
Depending on your application, you may want
to change the factory settings of the configu-
ration switches or change the device selection
codes.
For a detailed description of all the operational
features, and step-by-step information on how
to program them, see section 7,
PROGRAM-
MABLE FEATURES.
5.6 GENERAL RULES OF
INSTALLATION
When installing your ATX-300, there are three
general principles to keep in mind:
5.6.1
Your ATX-300 must be the only device
directly connected to the telephone
company’s incoming line.
There cannot be
any extensions or data devices connected in
parallel with your ATX-300 on this line. All
extensions and data devices must be
connected to one of the DEVICE ports on
the back of your ATX-300.
