Programming number of Rings and Ring through times
:
You can program each line on your phone for the number of rings or the duration independently, you may do this from
any phone even if it is not connected to the SX8800
To program:
•
Set the switches for the desired operation (see above)
•
Select L1 on your phone to get a dial tone
•
Wait about 10 seconds to hear the Hold music or a beep then press 1, then press 2, you will get confirmation via
Hold music turning ON and OFF twice
•
Hang up and repeat for lines L2...L4
Be sure to change the switches back to the way they were prior to programming.
Example:
to change the number of rings to answer the calls from the factory preset value of
2 rings
to
4 rings
do as
follows:
set the switches to B3, select L1(dial tone), wait 10 seconds into dial tone till you hear the Hold music for a second or
a beep now press 1, then press 2, you will get Hold music ON and OFF twice (or a beep twice) to confirm the
operation was done. Do this for L2, L3,L4 if you need changes to apply for those lines as well. Remember there are
two sets of switches one for lines 1 &2 and one for lines 3 & 4. When you are done set switch back to the way it was.
Example:
You want to
be able to Hold the calls
up to
8 minutes
instead of the factory default of
3 minutes
, set the
switches to A2, select L1(get dial tone), wait 10 seconds when you hear the quick Hold music or beep, press 1, press
2 , you will get confirmation via hold music turning On-Off (or beeps). Repeat for L2...L4 as needed, then set switch
back to the way it was.
Note: your changes remains intact even if power is lost or you remove the SX8800 entirely.
To restore the
factory settings you need to re-program the device to factory settings above.
Auto Answer Notes:
In
B
setting the device answers any ringing line and the ringing stops, it then takes the call to “On Hold” for up to 30
minutes, blinking the LED lights on the unit fast to indicate the call is on Hold waiting for you to take it.
If you see Fast blinking LED you may select the corresponding line on the phone to take care of that call
, After you
place that call on Hold, your telephones LED lights will indicate the Hold condition and the SX8800 LED
lights will blink at normal slow blink rate.
In
A
setting ( works in Verizon or Vonage lines) the device answers any ringing line and the ringing stops, it then
takes the call to “On Hold”, blinking the LED lights on the unit fast to indicate the call is on Hold waiting for you to
take it.
it then re-rings the same line again every minute to see if you want to take it or not, if you did not, it takes the caller
back to “On hold” automatically playing the on hold messages, at any time you may pick up the line to talk to the
caller. (the call is kept on hold for up to 30 minutes) at the end if you still did not take the call it will ring it through that
line continuously until the call is answered; you may place the call on Hold for Music On hold at any time thereafter.
To Turn OFF “Auto Answer”:
Flip the desired switch to C
To ensure answering machine or Voice mail operation:
1) you may just flip the switch to C when you leave, for
example just flip the switch for L1-L2 to C and the answering machine or voice mail kicks in as normal when you
leave the office 2) plug the device AC adapter to a power strip and just flip it off when you leave and turn it back ON
when you arrive in the morning.
