15.4 POTS monitor
The POTS monitor function provides a high impedance tap (for listening-in) that does not
influence the interface. You can listen-in on the line with the integrated handset or a
headset without having the ARGUS send function (transmit side) is disabled and will not
interfere with the line.
The ARGUS - Main menu
The ARGUS displays the voltage level on
the line when it is "on hook“ (not busy).
Start monitoring
The ARGUS displays the voltage (when
"off hook"), the number of the caller (if
CLIP is supported) and the DTMF
characters dialed by both telephone
subscribers.
Any received DTMF characters will be
appended to the line, which will shift left
for each character once it is full.
An incoming call will be signalled
acoustically.
