Chapter 2: Feature 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. You might also assign
all lines the same second number in order to set up 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. The
TLS-5 is programmed by connecting a tone (DTMF) telephone to Line 1 and
entering commands.
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 a recorded message. Audio from an external
source may also be injected into the lines that are connected to the port.
Distinctive Ringing
The ring cycle timing for the first number on each line is always the standard
two seconds on, four seconds off. The ring cycle timing for the second number
on each line is programmable. (See Programming.) This gives each line two
different ring cycles; one for each of the line’s numbers.
Ring Type (frequency & wave shape)
This feature selects the RING frequency and waveshape. The options are for
17, 20 (default), 25, 30 or 60 Hertz and synthesized (default) sine or square
wave.
Group Ringing
With this feature you can simultaneously ring a group of phones, yet still be
able to ring them individually. To use this feature, program different first
numbers for each line, but the same second number for each line, and set hunt
mode set to “ring all” and disable Caller ID for all four lines. As a result,
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.)
Call Waiting Tones
This feature operates when a third caller dials a number that is already in use.
The caller will hear ringing, the called party will hear a Call Waiting Tone.
The called party may choose to either ignore the Call Waiting Tone, which will
repeat once, 10 seconds after the original tone, or answer the waiting call by
generating a flash hook. Subsequent flash hooks will alternate between the two
