Compatibility with Caller ID Devices
Since there are a variety of Caller ID devices, the appearance of the
information and the amount displayed may differ slightly. For example, the
format of the date and time may be displayed differently.
Note the following items when using Caller ID equipment:
1) Some Caller ID devices cannot display the calling name and, therefore, do
not accept the multiple message format (
default
). If this is the case with your
device, use the single message format instead.
2) Caller ID will be sent during the first three-second silence in the ring cycle.
If you change the distinctive ringing cycles, remember that a three-second
silence is required for the Caller ID information to be sent. (If there is not at
least a three-second silence, Caller ID will not be sent.)
3) Some Caller ID devices require a seven-digit telephone number. If this is
the case with the device you are using, program the TLS-5 with seven-digit
numbers.
Invalid Number
You can program how the TLS-5 will respond to an invalid number. It can
respond with busy tone, reorder tone, ring back tone, silence, or it can connect
the calling line to the audio port. Regardless of the response you select, there
will be a delay before the response is activated.
If an invalid number beginning with any number other than “1” is dialed,
the TLS-5 will respond after seven digits have been entered or after eight
seconds have passed.
-or-
If an invalid number beginning with “1” is dialed,
the TLS-5 will simulate
the telephone network’s delay by waiting until 11 digits have been entered or
8 seconds have passed since the last digit was entered.
Simultaneous Calls with Invalid Numbers
If you program the TLS-5 to connect invalid numbers to the audio port, calls
arriving when the audio port is already in use will get a reorder tone.
Uses for Off-Hook Modes
A detailed explanation of command 32, Off-Hook Modes, is provided in
Chapter 6.
Standard Mode
This provides normal dialing features.
