RING DELAY OPTION
Auto-Connect has a facility where an incoming call can be directed to
the ACCESSORY DEVICE after a user selectable number of rings (4, 6
or 8 rings), if the call is not answered by the PRIMARY DEVICE.
This feature is ideal for sites wishing to operate a Fax Machine and a
Fax/Modem on the same line, where both devices can send and where
either device can answer.
Please Note - You must ensure that BOTH devices are set to the AUTO-
ANSWER mode, and also set to ANSWER in the FEWEST POSSIBLE
RINGS.
Similarly, this option is ideal for AFTER HOURS OPERATION with sites
wishing to attach a telephone device (such as an Answering Machine,
Fax, Modem or Security System) to a normal voice line, so that if the call
is unanswered after a user preset number of rings (4, 6 or 8 rings), the
attached telephone device will be allowed to answer the call.
Dip Switches 3 and 4, located on the underside of the unit are used to
set this feature.
If the Ring Delay facility is not required for your application, then you
should set Dip Switches 3 and 4 to the OFF position.
If the Ring Delay facility is required for your application, please refer to
the following table.
Note - The Ring Delay facility can also be used in conjunction with the
EFT-POS or MULTIPLE NUMBER options.
