Installation
Your SR Call Processor, when properly
installed and configured, can link together a
variety of telephones and data
communication products, including FAX machines, MODEMs, credit
authorization terminals and answering machines.
Proper Installation Is Important!
You probably won’t be able to plug your SR in just anwhere and get the
desired
results. Please read the following paragraphs to better understand
how to
install your SR.
To understand the importance of proper installation and placement, think
of your SR
Call Processor as a telephone “traffic top” that supervises
traffic through
an intersection. Any telephones and data devices that are
attached THROUGH the SR can be allowed to ring, and allowed or denied
access to the telephone line.
Just as a traffic
top cannot control traffic that does not pass through his
intersection, your SR cannot properly control telephones and data devices
that are not connected THROUGH the SR.
There are three factors to consider when chosing
an installation method.
They are:

Which phones and data devices require ring supervision?
Any data device that answers calls (FAX, MODEM, answering
machine, etc.) should be connected THROUGH your SR. Phones
that may awaken you at night should
also be connected through your
SR. Certain other phones may be left directly connected to the
telephone line if you
don't need barge-in protection.
