Operating instructions

INSTALLATION
For example, if you connect your ATX-300 in
the following way, it will not function properly:
Ringing will be heard in the background if a
call is answered by one of the extension
phones. Also, your
ATX-300 cannot prevent
an extension phone from being lifted and
interrupting a FAX call.
For the same reason, party lines and off-
premise extensions (OPX), including
answering services located away from your
building, are not compatible with your
ATX-300. Do not install an ATX-300 if you are
on a party line or have an OPX.
5.6.2
Your ATX-300 is intended for use with
standard modular RJ-11 jacks. Many key
system station jacks look the same, but are
not wired for the RJ-11 standard. In addition,
some ground-start PBX trunks are
incompatible. Neither an ATX-300 nor a FAX
machine will operate if connected to this point.
The general rule is: if a SINGLE-LINE
telephone will work on the connector, your
ATX-300
will work. You can usually use a
telephone line tester to verify that the jack is
wired for RJ-11.
5.6.3
Manual transfers are accomplished by
entering touch-tones or dial pulses.
Some
multi-line key systems do not allow tone dial
pulse generation on incoming calls. To
determine if the key system is capable of
manually transferring an incoming call, call
the line on which you wish to install your
ATX-300 from another location, and listen to
determine if the person who answers can dial
touch-tones or pulses.
Pulse-dialing telephone equipment and some
key systems do not always generate the
* or
# signals. You can overcome this limitation
by changing the ATX-300 device selection
codes to new codes that do not contain * or
# . See section 7.2 to change device
selection codes.
On a few key systems, dialing * # will
unlock the key pad to once again dial touch-
tones. Try dialing * # * 2, for example, to
manually transfer to your FAX machine.
On some key systems that do not allow tone
generation on inbound calls, you can fool the
telephone system into thinking it is making an
outbound call by p ressing the “FLASH” key,
and then dialing * 2 To keep from hanging
up the caller, activate the “Protected Hook
Flash” feature. See section 7.1.5.
