Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA)
Procedure 11 describes how to install and use the ATA with your M3900
series set.
The ATA allows an off-the-shelf analog device (FAX, modem, or analog
telephone (500/2500)) to work simultaneously with your M3902,
M3903, M3904, or M3905 Meridian Digital Telephone. The M3901 set
does not support the ATA.
Install the ACM into your M3900 Series set (see Procedure 11), before
you install your ATA. The ACM provides connection capabilities
between the M3902, M3903, M3904, and M3905 telephones and the
ATA.
Procedure 11
Install the ATA
1 Insert the ATA accessory cartridge into the ACM. The latch should be at the
top.
2 Connect the commercial device you have selected to use, either your FAX
machine, modem, or analog (500/2500) telephone, to the connection on your
ATA cartridge interface.
