Chapter 4: Operation
Basic Dialing
To dial from one line to another, plug in a telephone device (telephone,
modem, fax machine, etc.), then go off-hook and dial one of the telephone
numbers associated with another line. The default primary line numbers are
101, 102, 103, and 104 for lines 1 through 4 respectively. The default secondary
line numbers for lines 1-4 are 201, 202, 203, and 204. These numbers are
programmable (see command 11 for the primary number and command 12 for
the secondary number.) The primary numbers will ring at a standard 2 second
on and 4 seconds off. The secondary numbers will ring at a distinctive ring
cadence (see command 23), the default is 800 ms on, 400 ms off, 800 ms on, and
4 seconds off. The TLS-5C/D supports a Speed Dial feature that uses the line
number plus # to dial.
Setting up a conference call:
Flash detection (command 34) must be enabled (default) in order to set up a
conference call or transfer a call by executing the steps below. If you are unable
to add a third party or transfer a call, enable flash detection. If flash detection
is disabled, a flash will be treated as a disconnect. Conference calls may be
limited to three participants (Three-Way Calling/default/command 73) or all
four lines may be conferenced if PBX conferencing is enabled.
Step 1:
Connect devices
·
Connect devices to at least three TLS-5 lines.
Step 2:
Establish call
·
Establish a call between two parties.
Step 3:
Flash the line
·
Press the FLASH button (if the telephone has one) or momentarily press
the switch in the telephone handset cradle to generate a flash.
Step 4:
Call the third party
·
Three-Way Calling (default) returns a three burst stutter dial tone.
·
PBX call conferencing returns a continuous dial tone.
·
After dial tone is returned, dial the third number.
Step 5:
Flash the line
·
After the third party answers, flash again to reconnect the second party.
