CHAPTER 4: Operation
For the ASD-4 to perform RMN after a TAD message is received, the TAD
port must be on line longer than the value of function [6], Automatic TAD
Transfer Timer, which is factory-preset to 30 seconds. If the TAD port is not
on line longer than the value of function [6], the ASD-4 will not perform
RMN, or will not count the TAD when it sends its beep sequence. For
example, if function [8], RMN Conditions, is set to [8] [1] [2] [*] (“perform
RMN for TAD and/or fax messages”) and a caller reaches the TAD but
transfers to the fax before the timer expires, RMN will be triggered but the
ASD-4 will sound 2 beeps (“received fax message”) only.
If the ASD-4 is set to perform RMN when the FAX port receives a call, and a
caller reaches the FAX port, it doesn’t matter how long the port is on line:
The ASD-4 will perform RMN regardless. The same goes for the MODEM
port.
Once the ASD-4 dials the RMN phone number, it holds the line open for
sixty seconds. During this time, you (or whoever answers the phone) can do
any of these things, provided the phone is a tone-dialing type:
• Enter the programming mode to turn OFF the RMN feature, change the
RMN Phone Number, or change the RMN conditions
• Enter the programming mode to program any other feature or function
• Transfer to the TAD port to retrieve your TAD messages
As the first step in any of these actions, you must press the buttons on your
tone phone that correspond to your ASD-4’s security access code
([1] [2] [3] [4] is the factory default). The ASD-4 will not respond to any
other tone commands until you enter the security access code. If you make a
mistake entering the code, press your phone’s [#] key to clear the ASD-4’s
buffer and keep trying (press [#] after each unsuccessful attempt) until the
ASD-4’s sixty-second hold-the-line timer expires. Once you successfully enter
the code, the ASD-4 switches off its timer—it will now hold the line until you
hang up—and automatically goes into programming mode (see the next
chapter).
