Installation (Optional Features):
Fax Share:
The Fax Share feature allows the TELink to share a phone line with a fax machine, saving the expense of having
to install a separate line. In a Fax Share installation, the TELink only answers calls from the servicing dealer and
does not interfere with incoming or outgoing fax transmissions. The TELink MUST BE SET to answer on two or
more rings than what the FAX is set to answer on. For example: If the fax machine is set to answer on two rings,
then the TELink should be set to answer on four rings. For the Fax Share option to work correctly the fax machine
must be the device that answers the line - not the TELink. Fax Share cannot be used together with Night Answer.
Night Answer:
The Night Answer feature provides the capability to store a separate night answer message in addition to the
standard MOH message. When the Night Answer feature is activated the TELink will answer incoming calls and
play the informational Night Answer message to the caller. After the night message has played then the caller will
be disconnected automatically and unit will be ready for next call.
Two Night Answer modes are available:
Scheduled
- The Night Answer message can be scheduled by the servicing dealer to turn on and off automatically
once per day, on a seven-day calendar. Sample schedule: Night Answer turns OFF at 9am and ON at 5pm
Monday-Friday, with no ON or OFF time scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. Under this schedule, Night Answer
is active during non-business hours (5pm-9am) and all weekend long.
Manual (Not Recommended)
- Night Answer can be turned ON or OFF on demand by pressing the NIGHT button
on the front panel. If a Night Answer schedule is present, this will override it. If you manually turn Night Answer
ON or OFF, it will remain in that state until you cancel it by pressing the NIGHT button again.
IMPORTANT: If Night Answer is turned ON manually, you must remember to turn it OFF when you want calls
to ring through normally. Until Night Answer is turned OFF, the TELink will continue to answer calls, play the
Night Answer message, then hang up. DO NOT forget to turn Night Answer OFF at the desired time.
When using Night Answer, it is extremely important that the TELink is installed on the first phone number that
the phone system answers on. Because this line is likely to be the most heavily used, the servicing dealer may
encounter difficulty (busy line) when trying to call the unit. Therefore, it is recommended that the initial installation
and subsequent downloads be scheduled during times when the line is not likely to be in use (during non-business
hours).
The NIGHT LED on the front of the TELink indicates the current ON/OFF status of the Night Answer feature:
