PROGRAMMING TIPS
Since the length of each device selection
code can be from two to seven digits, and
each of the three devices can have a
selection code of different length, you can
custom tailor your codes to allow easy access
with two or three-digit codes, or increase your
security with longer codes. If you use an
answering machine, you may also want to
announce to callers how they can manually
transfer calls to certain devices.
Care should be taken not to program a device
selection code that is the first part of another
code. For example, if DEVICE 2 has a
selection code of “99” and DEVICE 3 has a
selection code of
"999",
DEVICE 3 will never
be selected, because when the “99” code is
entered, DEVICE 2 will be immediately
selected.
It is also recommended that the device
selection code never be the first part of any
normally dialed telephone number. For
example, the code “12” would not be a good
choice, because a long-distance call to Los
Angeles would require dialing
"1-213-
..
."".
After the “12” is heard, your
ATX-300
would
then transfer the call and not allow you to
finish dialing. This is why the symbols
*
and
#
are often good choices for the first or
second digit of a device code.
COMMONLY
ASKED
QUESTIONS
Before you contact your Versa-Link dealer or
distributor about a question, please read this
section. If you are experiencing a problem,
you may be able to quickly solve it yourself.
WHY DO SOME FAX CALLS GO TO MY
TELEPHONE?
Sometimes FAX calls originate from
equipment that does not identify itself as a
FAX machine. You can manually transfer the
call by dialing the device selection code for
your FAX (factory set to
*
2
). See section
2.1. Activating CALL OPTI-MIZER may
eliminate this problem at night. See section
4.2.3 for details.
Also, you may need to change auto-FAX tone
detection. See section 7.1.2.
WHY DO I SOMETIMES GET A BUSY
SIGNAL WHEN I PICK UP THE
TELEPHONE RECEIVER?
The busy signal you receive is from the
“barge-in” protection feature on your
ATX-
300. It means the phone line is being used
by either your FAX or MODEM. Wait for the
equipment to finish data transmission and
then try your telephone again.
