Telephone interface with the Freedom System
You can contact the Freedom System and operate the Maxicom
2
system from a
remote location via telephone. You may also use the handheld radio to receive and
send calls from the field through the Freedom System base unit. In order to use the
Freedom System’s full capabilities, you will need to connect a dedicated phone line
to the Freedom System base unit.
Any modem, desk telephone, answering machine, etc., should be on a separate line,
designated as telephone line “X” in fig. 8. They should not be on the same tele-
phone line that is serving the Freedom System base unit.
A second dedicated line, designated as telephone line “Y” in fig. 8, is required for
the Freedom System base unit and to connect a telephone that you may wish to
have work with the Freedom System.
The dedicated telephone line “Y” plugs into the RJ11 socket of the Freedom
System base unit marked “Phone Line Input.” If you are also using a telephone
with the Freedom System, you will need a phone line splitter.
Refer to fig. 8 for complete details on installation of the telephone line and other
related equipment.
