Chapter 2: Feature Applications
The TLS-4A offers an array of programmable features to suit a variety of
applications.
Two Numbers Per Line
Each of the four lines can be assigned two telephone numbers, each number a
maximum of 16 digits long.
This feature may be used to program one number with a standard ring
cadence and the other with a nonstandard ring cadence. Another use might be
to assign all four lines the same second number in order to setup a hunt group
or ring all telephones with one call.
Ring cadences on the second phone number can be varied, confirmation and
error tones disabled, and audio port access blocked from certain lines. Hot line
(“ringdown”) numbers and hunt groups can be setup. These and other
programmable features are described in Chapter 6. The unit is programmed
by connecting a tone (DTMF) telephone to the unit and entering digit codes.
Audio Port
The audio port can be configured for immediate or dial access or as a monitor,
may allow single or multiple lines to be connected simultaneously, and can
vary the method of turning off the recorded message.
Distinctive Ringing
The ring cycle timing for the first number on each line is always the standard 2
seconds on, 4 seconds off. The ring cycle timing for the second number on each
line is programmable. (See Programming.) This gives the ability for each line
to have two different ring cycles by simply dialing the two different numbers
associated with that line.
Group Ringing
It is possible to have a group of phones that can be rung simultaneously, yet
still be able to ring them individually. By programming different first numbers
for each line, but the same second number for each line, and having the hunt
mode set to “ring all”, dialing the first numbers will ring an individual phone
(with standard ringing), and dialing the second number will ring all the
phones simultaneously (with distinctive ringing).
