Rings Before Answer
The Model 748 knows of an incoming call by detecting the ringing voltage on its End-to-End lines.
The on / off cadence of the ringing voltage is used to count the incoming rings. Once the number of
rings has exceeded the specified
Rings before answer , the Model 748 will take action on the ringing
line. This can be either to answer the ringing telephone line and allow overdial or key the transmitter
and call a pre-determined user (radio).
The Model 748 counts rings on the leading edge of a ringing impulse. The default number of Rings
before answer is 2. This will cause it to answer on the leading edge of the second ringing impulse
after a valid pause between ring impulses. Minimum pause between ring impulses is 1.5 seconds.
