Frequently Asked Questions
1.
If I have more than one consolidator can I connect them to the same
phone line either in parallel or in series (using a “daisy chain”)?
Each
consolidator requires its own phone line or local phone. (Exception: A multi-line
local phone, connected to the LOCAL port will allow multiple consolidators to
be connected in parallel.)
2.
What kind of cable do I need to run from the Emergency Phones to my
Consolidator?
We strongly recommend twisted, shielded pairs with the shield
connected to earth ground only at the consolidator end. The resistance on the
line is not to exceed 25 ohms. The following chart shows distances and
recommended wire gauges:

3.
I am using a c
onsolidator in “local” mode. Do I need to program a phone
number into my Emergency Phones?
You must enter a phone number (see
Emergency/Information Phone Manual, page 8) even though your Talk-A-
Phone unit is not using this number to connect to the local phone. We
recommend the number 1234567.
4.
If I made some mistakes during programming is there a way to reset the
programming?
If you have forgotten your access code, you may reset the
programming on that consolidator to factory default by entering *30*14725836*.
Note: you will NOT have to reprogram your individual Emergency/Information
Phones.
