14. Installing Line(s) for Off-Site Dialing
If a POTS/PSTN line or PBX extension line is to be used in addition to the phone built into the
enclosure, connect the incoming phone line to the
“
TELCO
IN”
terminals for the respective
bank(s), these connections are NOT polarity sensative. See photo below.
The “TELCO IN” terminals are located on the left side of the
AOR-8 / AOR-16
unit’s
enclosure
—
above the backup batteries.
15. Local Mode
In Local Mode, pressing the button on any of the Talkaphone Analog Call Stations will cause
the built in touch-tone telephone to ring.
16. Remote Mode
In Remote Mode, pressing the button on any of the Talkaphone Analog Call Stations will cause
them to access a phone line to dial out. For this configuration, connect an outside phone(s) line
to the “
Telco
IN” position
(s) on the appropriate bank.
NOTE:
See Technical Requirements, p.2, for outside phone line requirements.
17. 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 Analog Call Station calls and the
AOR-8 / AOR-16
unit is in Day/Night mode, it
will ring the
AOR-8 / AOR-16
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
“
Telco
IN” position(s)
. This programming must be done for each of the
consolidators (one (1) consolidator for the AOR-8 or two (2) consolidators for the AOR-16)
NOTE:
See Technical Requirements, p.2, for outside phone line requirements.
