Description of new and updated functions
Connecting a phone or a doorline to the FAX port
This section extends the section „Connecting/Using other devices - connecting a fax machine
(ISDN)“ in the user guide for your Aton phone.
As an alternative to the fax machine, you can connect a wire-bound analogue door
intercom (door line type 2) to the FAX port of the base.
1. Insert one end of the connection cable (6 pin with 2 mini western jacks 6/6) from
the rear into the recess in the housing of your phone.
2. Plug a connection cable jack into the fax port on the base (labelled:
FAX
).
3. Then connect the fax connection cable to the port on the door intercom.
You do not explicitly have to register the device to the base. It is automatically "reg-
istered", once you have activated the FAX port on the base. The device is added to
the list of internal parties with the internal name
INT 8
. You can change this name
(e.g. "door"). However, the internal number
8
cannot be changed.
When activating the FXS port you have to specify the type of device you want to
connect to the port.
Activating/deactivating the FAX port
This section replaces the section „Configuring the system settings - Activating/deactivating
the Fax port (ISDN)“ in the user guide for your Aton phone.
To register a fax machine or a door intercom to the base, you must activate the fax
connection, i.e. set
Telephony / Fax
or
Doorline
mode.
The FAX port is deactivated by default.
When you activate the FAX port, it is regarded as registered. The internal number 8
is assigned to it/the connected device.
INT 8
is displayed in the list of internal par-
ties (even if there is no device connected).
