TS-6 Installation and Operation Manual
OPERATION
Extra Switch Console
Up to four Switch Console can be connected to a control unit. Each unit must be set
to a different address with DIPswitch settings 1 and 2. If multiple units are con-
nected the control unit sees all Switch Console as if they were one unit. For exam-
ple; one unit can press the DROP button and another unit can select the line to drop.
TS-6 Status Protocol Output on RS-232 Port
Every 100ms the TS-6 will output a simple data string that will show the status of
each line. The possible states are Ring, Current, Hybrid, Phone, Hold, Loop and
Idle. Data protocol: 9600,8,N, 1.
The string will begin with the “@”, followed by six ASCII characters, 123456,
where 1 is line 1, 2 is line 2, etc. and end with an ASCII Carriage Return. The six
possible states are:
R = Ring detected
C = Current flow detected
Y = Hybrid
P = Phone
H = Hold
L = Loop connected (Idle state)
A typical string would be @LLRYPH<cr>
Where lines 1 and 2 are idle, connected to their loop outputs, line 3 is ringing, line
4 is connected to Hybrid-1, line 5 is connected to the screener Phone (or Hybrid-2)
and line 6 is on Hold. The string will be followed by a Carriage Return (0Dh). If
both loop Current AND Hybrid, Phone or Hold is detected and then only the Hybrid,
Phone or Hold states will be reported. If loop current is detected without any of the
other three states, then the assumption is that an external phone connected to a loop
output has been taken off hook. In the case of both Current and Loop states, the
Current state will be reported.
