2.11.10 Parallelled Telephone
Description
Multiple telephones can be connected to the same port. This is useful to increase the number of telephones
without additional extension cards. The combinations and features of the parallelled telephones are described
below.
Features Descriptions Connections
Parallel Mode Parallel mode involves the connection of an SLT
to an APT or a DPT that is connected to a Super
Hybrid port.
When parallel mode is enabled, the two
telephones function as follows:
•
Both share the extension number of the
telephone connected directly to the PBX (main
telephone).
•
Either telephone can make or answer a call.

(XDP) Mode XDP mode involves the connection of an SLT to a
DPT that is connected to a Super Hybrid port.
Unlike parallel mode, each telephone can act as a
completely different extension with its own
extension number. (

Digital XDP Digital XDP involves the connection of a DPT to a
DPT that is connected to a DPT port or Super
Hybrid port. The DPT that is connected directly to
the PBX is called the "master DPT", and the DPT
connected to the master DPT is called the "slave
DPT".
Like XDP mode, each telephone can act as a
completely different extension with its own
extension number.
If a master DPT is connected to the PBX by a
Super Hybrid port (not a DPT port), a third
telephone (SLT) can also be in parallel or XDP
mode with the master DPT.
Digital XDP connection allows the number of
DPTs that the PBX supports to increase.
