VERSA-LINK ATX-250

4.3 SUMMARY OF OPERATION
Your ATX-250 will answer incoming calls on the first ring and produce a simulated ring-
back tone to the caller . Your ATX waits about six seconds longer before it begins to ring
DEVICE 1
. During this time the caller may manually transfer the call by dialing a device
selection code . Your ATX-250 is also screening the call for auto FAX tones .
If no auto FAX tone is detected, and if no device selection codes are entered, your ATX-
250 will begin to ring the equipment attached to
DEVICE 1
. Once connected, your ATX-
250 will isolate equipment attached to the other device ports for the duration of the call .
The call can be manually transferred at any time by either party . There is no limit to the
number of times the same call can be transferred . During transfers, the caller is put on
hold, and hears a ringback signal while the selected device is being rung . All devices that
are not selected are disconnected from the telephone line . A busy signal is conveniently
provided to all non-selected devices .
When the line is not in use, any device can place an outgoing call . During this time, all
other devices are disconnected from the incoming line .
If the caller is dialing long distance, charges begin when your ATX-250 answers incoming
calls .
RINGING DEVICES
When your ATX-250 is ringing a device, it will attempt eight rings to that device . If the
selected device does not answer within this period, your ATX-250 will disconnect the call
and restore all devices to their original condition .
TRANSFER DEFEAT
Dialing “80” on an inbound call will cause your ATX-250 to ignore all device selection
codes for the rest of that call . This is useful if you are calling into an answering machine
to get your messages . This will prevent tones that may be on your incoming message
tape from accidently transferring your call .
