Local Mode  

 

In  Local  Mode,  pressing  the  button  on any  of  the Talkaphone  Area  of  Refuge 
Emergency phones will cause the built in touch-tone telephone to ring. 

 
19.

 

Remote Mode 
In Remote Mode, pressing the button on any of the Talkaphone Area of Refuge 
Emergency phones will cause them to access a phone line to dial out. For this 
configuration,  connect  an  outside  phone(s) 

line  to  the  “IN”  position(s)  on  the 

punch down block. 

 

NOTE:

  See  Technical  Requirements,  page  2,  for  outside  phone  line 

requirements.

Day/Night Mode 

 

Day/Night Mode is primarily used when a facility has a guard on-site during the 
day  but  not  at  night.  It  may  also  be  used  in  any  situation  where  the  guard 
station is not always manned. When a Talkaphone Area of Refuge Emergency 
Phone  calls  and  the 

AOR-24/AOR-32 

is  in  Day/Night  mode,  it  will  ring  the 

Command  Unit’s  built  in  local  handset  phone  first,  ring  it  a  second  time  if  no 
one answers the first time, then if no one answers the second time it will dial a 
remote number. If no one should answer the remote number, it will re-ring the 
local phone and continue this cycle until either the phone is answered or times 
out  (see  Emergency  Phone  manual  for  information  on  setting  the  time-out.) 
When a guard leaves for the night, she can enter the code *36* to configure the 
consolidator  to  ring  the  remote  phone  first  and  then  switch  to  the  local  phone 
(see Software Programming, page 6). For Day/Night Mode connect an outside 
phone  line(s)  to  the 

“IN”  position(s)  on  the  punch  down  block.  This 

programming  must  be  done  for  each  of  the  consolidators  (3  consolidators  for 
the AOR-24) 

 

NOTE:

  See  Technical  Requirements,  page  2,  for  outside  phone  line 

requirements. 
 

 
 

21.

 

Sharing a Phone Line 
Another telephone instrument  (e.g. fax,  modem,  standard telephone,  etc.) can 
share  the  outside  phone  line(s)  with  the 

AOR-24/AOR-32 

by  connecting  the 

outside  phone  line(s)  to  the  “IN”  position(s)  on  the  punch  down  block  and 
connecting  the  telephone  instr

ument sharing the line to the “OUT” position(s). 

Be sure to set each consolidator in the 

AOR-24/AOR-32 

not to answer before
