Yellow Pages under “Telephone

Equipment and Service”) to install the
necessary jacks between the telephone

company's line and your internal wiring.

Your ATX-250 shipping carton should

contain the following equipment

- Your Versa-Link ATX-250
- An AC wall transformer with cord

One modular telephone cable

Plug the 12 Volt AC wall transformer into

an electrical outlet (110 Volt AC, 50-60

Hz) and plug its power cord into the
power connector on the back of your

ATX-250. The 

LED 

indicator on the front

of your ATX-250 should now be lit,
showing that power is on and the

WHAT LINE DO I

LINE DO I USE?

Locate and identify the telephone line to

which you plan to attach your ATX-250. If
you are using a multi-line telephone
system with rollover, use the last line in

the  rollover sequence.

WHERE DO I CONNECT MY ATX-250?

Locate a point on the line between the

telephone company and all existing
telephone equipment and extensions

attached to this line. Disconnect all

telephone equipment and extensions
from the telephone line. They will later be

re-connected to the telephone line

THROUGH your ATX-250. You may need

to install RJ-11 jacks to facilitate

installation of your ATX-250.

IMPORTANT: One function of your A T X
250 is to receive incoming calls and then

distribute them to the proper equipment.

For this reason it is VERY important that

your ATX-250 be installed ahead of all

existing telephone extensions and
equipment.

Attach the incoming telephone line to the

LINE 

connector on the back of your

ATX-250. The 

 should now be

the only device connected to this

telephone line.

If you are using this line for voice

communication, you will need to

reconnect your telephone system

THROUGH THE ATX-250. First, you will
want to determine what type of phone
system you have.
