FEATURES
7.2 DEVICE SELECTION
CODES
Your ATX-300 analyzes incoming calls for
(DTMF) touch-tones and analyzes your
equipment for both pulse-dial and touch-tone
device selection codes. Device codes are
programmable and may be from 2 to 7
characters long using any combination of the
digits 0 to 9 and the symbols
*
and #. Do
not use numbers that are the same as the
beginning of actual local telephone numbers
or area codes. Using the symbols
*
or # is
a good way to avoid unwanted transfers when
dialing.
If your equipment is pulse-dial only, you
cannot use the symbols
*
or #
CHANGING YOUR
DEVICE SELECTION CODES
NOTE: If at any point in the programming
process you are unsure and would like to
start again, unplug the AC power cord and
re-connect it. Your ATX-300 will enter its
start-up mode and you can start over with
step 1.
The device selection codes are programmed
by pressing keys on a tone or pulse-dialing
telephone attached to one of the DEVICE
connectors on the back of your ATX-300.
The incoming telephone line must also be
attached to the ATX-300 LINE connector.
While you are entering digits on your
telephone to program your ATX-300, you are
also dialing those numbers to the telephone
company. To avoid dialing through to another
number, we suggest that you either establish
a local call while programming (dial one of
your other lines if you have more than one
line), or hang up the phone between each
device code. This will not affect the
programming process.
1) HOLD the front panel switch in for about 3
seconds until the STBY LED indicator starts
blinking.
2) Release the push button switch. The STBY
LED will remain blinking. If you would like to
change the selection code for DEVICE 1 then
enter the new code on a telephone keypad. If
no code is entered at this point the old code
will remain in effect (continue with step 3).
3) PRESS and immediately RELEASE the
push button switch. The SEMI LED will now
be blinking. If you would like to change the
selection code for DEVICE 2 then enter the
new code on a telephone keypad. If no code
is entered, the old code remains in effect
(continue with step 4).
4) PRESS and immediately RELEASE the
push button switch. The AUTO LED will now
be blinking. If you would like to change the
selection code for DEVICE 3 then enter the
new code on a telephone keypad. If no code
is entered, the old code remains in effect
(continue with step 5).
5) HOLD the front panel push button switch in
until the
AUTO LED stops blinking. Release
the push button switch. One of the three
LED’s will light up, indicating the current
operating mode.
7.3 CALLER I.D.
PROGRAMMING
The “Calling Number I.D.” service provided by
your local telephone company allows you to
see the number of the calling party before you
answer the phone. The phone number
appears on your Call Identifier display device
between the first and second ring.
Normally, your ATX-300 answers incoming
calls immediately after the first ring. This does
not give the “Caller Number I.D.” service
enough time to show you who is calling. A
new programmable feature has been added
that will give your ATX-300 “Calling Number
I.D.” compatibility be delaying its answer time
by 3 seconds.
