Analog Adapter
Description
The Analog Adapter (VB-44100) consists of a base adapter and PC board
which is installed on the underside of the phone. It is used to connect the
44-Series large-display phone to an analog device such as an SLT
telephone, cordless phone, FAX machine, or modem. This allows the same
phone line to be used to alternate between normal phone calls and analog
communications.
(To install, see the instructions supplied with VB-44100).
Operation
The first device to go off-hook will seize the line (off-hook is either lifting
the handset or pressing the ON/OFF key). If the analog device goes off-
hook first, the large-display phone will be unable to dial or go off-hook.
You can choose which device will ring by going off-hook at either the
digital key telephone or the analog device and dialing
*71 . The digital key
telephone display will reflect “Analog port RING” or “Key Tel RING”,
depending on which device is selected - the default is “Key Tel RING”.
You can still answer an incoming call from either device, regardless of
which device is ringing. For example, if the analog device is ringing, you
can pick up the call on the digital key telephone by going off-hook before
the analog device does. Similarly, if the digital key telephone is ringing or
has not answered a voice call, the analog device can pick up the call by
going off-hook first.
You can program the *71 ring select command into an FF key. Pressing the
key toggles between “Analog Port RING” and “Key Tel RING”. When the
analog port is set to ring, the FF key LED lights red. When the key
telephone is set to ring, the LED is off.
