All other remote control functions (remote seize, remote drop, line
status,
auto status, auto remain the same. It is recommended that the key
phone handset be OFF-HOOK
so
the key phone's buttons flash at the correct
rates. If the talent wants to release a line without taking another caller, he
can hit the hook switch to pop the button up! the phone must be used
normally, the hybrid must be turned off manually. One way to do this is to
rewire the disconnect button to function as the autoanswer board's DROP
signal. (The disconnect button is an optional button on some key phones; it's
used to disconnect a line without having to pop the button up.) If your phone
doesn't have the disconnect button already, add a momentary button across
pins
and mount it either on the phone or near the phone.
We
recommend turning on DIP and then installing the board
in
your
unit. Of course, you
can
take advantage of the other options by connecting
some extra momentary switches and some LED indicators. This way the
operators can toggle between
AUTO
and NO
AUTO,
turn the hybrid on and
off
manually and have indicators of the hybrids status
as
well. Refer to this
manual's
OPERATION
section for a circuit you can build up that will do
this.
If touchtones are needed to dial out and must be heard on the air, another
touchtone pad should be fed into the hybrids mix-minus scheme. The
touchtone pad in the key phone needs the from the phone line to
operate, so it would need
its
own power supply. Another scheme could use
some type of relay circuit that would ONLY the touchtone pad in
the key phone
(NOT
the network!)
to
the line selected ONLY while dialing
.
We don't want the tone pad hanging on the line all the time, because it will
load down the line. Since the tone pad is
also
powered from the phone line, it
will only be active while it
is
connected to the phone line through the relay.
Some stations use prerecorded carts with tones
on them,
s o ,
for instance, the
mayor's home phone doesn't go out on the air!
