If the answering party does nothing for five seconds, the phone repeats the six-beep sequence. If the answering
party does nothing for three of these six-beep/five-second attempts, the phone hangs up.
2.3 INCOMING CALLS
Incoming calls to the T2100 may have a number of purposes. You may be calling the T2100 to talk to someone
at that end (“converse mode”), to listen silently to what’s going on at the T2100’s location (“silent monitor mode”),
or to program the T2100 (“program mode”). You will need to know the telephone number to which the T2100 is
connected. Dial that number as you would any other number. If you are off site from the T2100 and not within its
area code, the area code and possibly by a 1 will be required.
When the T2100 answers an incoming call, it emits a short beep to let you know that it has answered. It then
waits two seconds for you to do nothing or to select one of the modes with your keypad.
Converse Mode “Ring Through”:
If the factory/default (Code 70) of Ring Through is set, after the two seconds the T2100 emits a single ring
through its speaker and then behaves just as it does after a connection has been established in an outgoing call.
Full duplex conversations with anyone at the phone can proceed. The T2100 will hang up in response to any of
the conditions that terminate an outgoing call.
Converse Mode “Hang Up”:
If the T2100 has been programmed for Hang Up (Code 71) you must press “1”, followed by a call in password,
followed by “#”. If you have set the call in password to “123”, for example, you would enter “1123#”. If the call-in
password is blank, you would simply enter “1#”. Full duplex conversation can then proceed. The T2100 will hang
up in response to any of the conditions that terminate an outgoing call.
Silent Monitor Mode:
Press “4”, followed by the call-in password and “#”. The T2100 beeps 3 times (over the line, not through the
speaker) to let you know it has entered the mode. The speaker is disabled and there is no ring at the T2100. If the
T2100 is programmed for a silence timeout, it is ignored. Pressing the “5” keypad key will activate the speaker in
this mode. The T2100 will hang up in response to any of the conditions that terminate an outgoing call.
Programming Mode:
Press “2”, followed by the programming password and “#”. The T2100 emits 3 beeps to acknowledge you are in
the programming mode. It will wait 5 seconds for a programming code to be entered. After each successful entry
it will beep three times and wait for the next code to be entered. An unsuccessful entry will result in a raucous
buzz and the phone will wait for the next program code.Three unsuccessful entries will terminate the call.
Pressing the # key or simply hanging up will also end the call.
Converse “Ring Through” vs. “Hang Up”:
Your choice for the “converse setting” is likely to depend upon whether the phone can be dialed from outside. If
you are concerned about calls being made by unauthorized persons, you can limit the phone’s accessibility by
selecting the “hang up” option. You will still be able to enter silent monitor or converse modes using explicit mode
selection. A prank caller who doesn’t know the call in password will not be able to get into the T2100. On the
other hand, if unauthorized access is not a concern, you may want to leave the setting at “Ring Through”, since in
true emergency situations someone (fireman, EMT etc.,) untrained in the phone codes may have the need to call
into the T2100.
3.0 PROGRAMMING
3.1 How to Program the Phone
Programming is done by calling the T2100 from any touch tone phone and pressing the appropriate keys on your
telephone keypad. When the T2100 answers your call, it will emit a beep. To enter the programming mode, press
2# on the keypad within 2 seconds of the beep. Programming is done by entering a program code followed by a
program item followed by a # sign when required. Program items are any numbers or recorded words required
by the T2100 to perform a function (some program codes do not require a program item and #). A list of all the
program codes is shown in Section 3.6.
After you press 2#, the T2100 beeps three times to let you know it has entered the programming mode, and then
waits up to 5 seconds for program code entries. After each successful program code entry, the T2100 beeps
three times and waits 5 seconds for another program code entry.
