Finally: Connect the power cable to the Mini-PABX (Marked “POW” for
Power) on the right side of the image above and then to the power-outlet. After
checking that all the above is correct, switch on the power to the Mini-PABX.
Before you do any more, now is a good time to test the system.
Test-1:
Pick-up Phone-11 (connected to port 11) and dial 12, Phone-2 (Port-12
Ext-12) will ring and you can answer, then hang-up both phones.
Test-2:
Pick-up Phone-11 again, dial 12 and when you answer this time, press
the “Hold” button (Centre button on top row) and you will put the extension on
“Exclusive Hold” allowing you to reserve the intercom connection while you
speak privately to a 3
rd
person. You will see that the PABX and Phones do
mostly what we need to do day to day, works well and is easy to learn.
Note: “Hold” is a “local-hold” and is referred to as “exclusive-hold” which puts
the caller on-hold with musical bells for that extension, and the extension that
puts the call on-hold must also take the caller off-hold, this is convenient when
you need to talk without the caller hearing the conversation.
If the call is from outside (an incoming call), to transfer to another extension,
there is a button marked “Transfer” or “Flash”, this button is in the top left-hand
corner of the Phone just above the “1” key. Press that and dial the extension you
want to transfer to (do not use the “Hold” for this, but the “Flash” button)
That's it!
Unless you want to change the way it functions, you can skip the
programming section, but take a quick look at “Basic Functions” on Page-5.
Note: When the power fails, you automatically have stand-by calls just like on a
normal telephone. The first line will operate through Port-11, and the second
line will operate through Port-12, and if you have a 3-Line model, then you can
have a third line operate on Port-13 (Phone-3 / Extension 13).
Note-2: the round chrome socket on the left side is for External-Music-on-Hold
(MoH). You will need to ensure that any device (that you use for external MoH)
is approved and has an appropriate line-isolation-unit before connecting.
External MoH is an additional feature, you can use the built-in on-hold melody
if you do not have a external music/message device.
