3.5. Default Ring Assignment (Memory Location #44)
Inbound telephone line calls are answered by the
EC-6
. After a single beep tone is heard, the caller can
direct the call to any of the phones by entering a single touch-tone command. This
#44
memory location
is used to tell the
EC-6
how to default if the caller does not enter any touch-tone command within four
(4) seconds of hearing the beep tone.
The factory setting is with the
#44
memory location cleared (enter only
#44
when programming), which
means if no touch-tone command is entered within four (4) seconds, the
EC-6
will default to re-ring the
last Emergency Phone that was used. This enables emergency personnel to call back and
automatically reach the specific Emergency Phone they had been talking to without the need to enter a
touch-tone command.
The
EC-6
can be programmed so that if no touch-tone command is given, to default to one of the six
Emergency Phones by entering any digit 1 through 6 in the
#44
memory location. Or enter “
0#44
” when
programming so that if no inbound touch-tone command is given, to default to ringing all Emergency
Phones.
3.6. Ring Count (Memory Location #45)
This location contains the number of times the
EC-6
will ring the called device when a transfer is
initiated. Entering a “
0
” count will disable the ring counter altogether and the port will continue to ring
until answered or the caller hangs up. The factory default setting is “
9
” rings.
3.7. Number of Phones (Memory Location #46)
This parameter is used so the
EC-6
knows how many Emergency Phone ports to ring when the “All Call”
feature is used. It is also how the line verification test knows how many Emergency Phone ports will be
tested. For example, if only four Emergency Phones are used, they are to be connected to Emergency
Phone ports 1-4, and “
4#46
” should be entered in programming. The factory default setting is
“6”
Emergency Phones.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Ensure that all Emergency Phones are set up to answer an incoming call.
3.8. Dial 9 Toggle Feature (Q1)
This feature is factory disabled (
*0
) which means dialing a single touch-tone
“9”
has only the ability to
connect to the telephone line. When the dial 9 toggle feature is enabled (
*1
), the
EC-6
will have the
ability to both connect and disconnect from the telephone line. In other words, dialing a touch-tone
“9”
will toggle between connecting and disconnecting.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
A minimum of
9 seconds
must elapse after other touch-tones have been
dialed before
“9”
will be accepted as a disconnect command. See
Section 4, Operation
for an
example of how this feature might be used.
