Power failure options
To provide battery backup
Your Commander Connect can be equipped with an optional Battery Backup Unit (BBU). When
equipped, full operation of the Commander Connect is provided for at least one hour in the event
of a power failure. If your system is equipped with ISDN access, it is recommended that this
BBU be installed as calls can be received and made on the ISDN lines if power fails.
Battery Alarm
If your system is equipped with a Battery a message ‘ Battery’ is displayed on Station 20 if the
system is running on the Battery. If you are not aware that the normal power has failed, check
that the Commander Connect System is correctly plugged in.
To make outgoing calls following a power failure
In the event of a mains power failure, (with the system not equipped with a BBU), Analogue
exchange lines are switched automatically to particular Stations and calls can be made and
received on these lines until the power is restored. The Keystation will not work when power has
failed, so these Stations must be connected to standard telephones in order for calls to be made.
