TEL-14 TWO-CHANNEL TELEPHONE INTERFACE  

1- 7  

 

If you are calling in on a "direct inward access" line with no preset 
audio paths, you may need to enter passwords, selector codes, 
and/or control codes to activate audio paths. 

Note: When you call a TEL-14 with access prompt enabled if you then go 
on-hook during or just after the Access Prompt is heard then the TEL-14 will 
remain off-hook. If the incoming caller waits about a second after the access 
prompt is heard before going on-hook then the TEL-14 will clear the call 
and go on-hook. 
Without an access prompt then if the caller goes on-hook within 2 seconds 
of the last answering beep (or during the answering beeps) the TEL-14 
stays off-hook 

 

MANUAL CALL-SCREENING MODE 

In 

“manual call-screening” mode, incoming calls can be answered by a 

"master" operator with physical access to the TEL-14 "hook" button. 
A standard telephone, wired in series with the TEL-14, is used to 
initially pick up the call. When the telephone has been wired in series 
with the TEL-14, picking it up will not cause the interface to go off-
hook, nor will this interfere with a call already in progress. 

Once the master station operator determines which station should 
receive the incoming telephone call, he calls that station and 
informs them that a call is waiting. The operator then presses the 
"hook" button on the TEL-14, bringing it off-hook, disconnecting the 
telephone set, and making the incoming telephone call available to 
any station that has the TEL-14 assigned to a key. The destination 
then accesses the call by activating the listen or talk key to the 
TEL-14. Once the Hook button has been activated, the operator hangs 
up the standard telephone. 

When the call is complete, the destination station operator can 
inform the master operator, and the master operator can hang up 
the TEL-14 using the "hook" button. If the "auto-disconnect" option 
switches are set, the TEL-14 will release the telephone line 
automatically when the caller hangs up. The telephone line will not 
be released if the talk path to the TEL-14 port is deactivated. This 
prevents a station operator from inadvertently disconnecting an in-
bound caller. The destination station operator can also use the 

“remote telephone-line release” feature to hang up the phone. 
The operator can also originate outside calls on the standard 
telephone, and make them available to destinations within the 
matrix. 

 

INTERCOM-TO-INTERCOM MODE 

The TEL-14 may be used to connect two remotely located 
intercom systems through a telephone line. To set up the 
connection, one TEL-14 must originate a call to the other. An 
intercom station equipped with a keypad can originate the call by 
using the station's "dial phone" mode. If the operator of a station 
not equipped with a keypad must originate the call, either he or she 
must have a key programmed to activate a DTMF sequence. 

After the call is made, the distant TEL-14 goes off-hook and the 
incoming telephone call becomes available to the telephone keys 
the TEL-14 port is preset to.
