2. To answer the call, first turn on the listen key, then press
the talk key and speak into the microphone or headset.
3. If you have been programmed as a default station, your
panel will “ring” whenever one of the lines rings. If you
do not have a key already programmed, the ringing line
will appear on your incoming call key (the key farthest to
the right on the main panel also known as the Call
Waiting Window or CWW). To answer, press the
incoming call key and answer. You should copy the key to
a main key position, either just before or just after you
answer, so you can turn on the listen key to hear the caller
audio.
TIF 2000 System Setup to Receive Calls
To the intercom system, the TIF 2000 is very much like a
keypanel. If the phone lines are to be used for outgoing calls
only, then no programming in ADAMedit is necessary. If
users are going to phone into the intercom from the outside,
then the TIF 2000 needs to be configured to allow them to
use the phone line in much the same way a local user uses
his key panel.
Programming information for the phone line is entered into
the ADAMedit software just as if the TIF 2000 were an
ordinary keypanel, by selecting “Keys” from the main
menu, then selecting the TIF 2000 from the pick list of key
panels. The TIF 2000 operates much the same way as a key
panel, except that the “keys” are really the DTMF buttons
on the users telephone.
Auto Answer Mode
To use the TIF 2000 in auto answer mode, you must first
enable auto answer mode on the rear panel DIP switch
bank, switch 1. You may also wish to enable Password
required, switch 3. In addition, you may select the number
of rings before the unit answers (internal DIP switch bank
#2), and the actual password (internal DIP switch bank #3).
When the caller dials into the TIF 2000, they will hear the
line ring, then the unit will answer, and beep to request the
password (if password required is enabled). The user then
must enter the password. The unit will beep once to confirm
a proper password. If the password is not correct, the unit
will beep twice to allow another try.
Once the password has been entered, the TIF 2000 will
establish communications on key #1 automatically. From
ADAMedit, this will be talk and listen keys #1. If for
example the user were a camera operator, it might be
desirable to program the camera PL as talk and listen on talk
and listen keys #1. If the caller were a reporter, you might
program an IFB on listen key #1, but no talk on talk key #1.
Keys 2 to 7 may also be programmed. To use the other keys
from the phone, just press the DTMF button for the key you
wish to use. For example, if key #1 was the camera PL, and
you have finished with the shot, you may press #1, which
will toggle off key 1. If master control were programmed on
key #2, you may then press 2 and call master control.
Likewise, you might have an IFB programmed on listen 3,
with no talk. If you press 3, you will hear the IFB. #4 could
have an IFB talk on it, to allow a caller to speak on an lFB
circuit.
Each DTMF button acts as if it were a push on/push off
switch. When programming in ADAMedit, just program the
same key number as the number the user is going to press
on the telephone to speak.
Talk keys 8 to 15 have a special purpose. If you are not
using auto answer mode, but have set up the TIF 2000 to be
manually answered, talk keys 8 to 15 will be programmed
for the keypanels which are to receive the ring signal. They
may also be toggled on and off from the phone by DTMF 8,
so they may be used in auto answer mode as well. You may
program only key 8, in which case it will behave the same
as keys 1-7. You may also program additional keypanels,
PLs, IFB’s etc on keys 9-15, and they will be activated
simultaneously by the 8 button on the phone.
Manual Answer Mode
In manual answer mode, the line will ring until it is an-
swered from a keypanel. In general, you must designate
panels which are to receive the ring, so they can answer the
line. When a line is manually answered, the caller does not
have to enter a password, even if the password required
switch is turned on. You may mix modes by enabling auto
answer, but setting the ring count for 8 rings. If no user has
answered the call by 8 rings, the TIF 2000 will then
automatically answer the call, and if password required is
also enabled, the call will be screened by requiring a
password.
To use manual answer mode, you may choose to program
keys 1 to 7 as above if you wish. When the phone is
manually answered, key one will not be automatically
activated, but the caller may activate any of the keys if he
wishes.
You must also designate the panels which are going to ring
when the line rings. Program these panels on keys 8 to 15,
using both Ll and L2 if you have more than 8. It is generally
not necessary to program the listen keys on these positions.
When the line rings, the TIF 2000 will “call” these panels
when the line is ringing. When the line rings, the TIF 2000
generates a ringer noise which is then transmitted to these
panels. The panels will display the TIF 2000’s alpha
numeric in the incoming call window (CWW), and if a talk
key has already been programmed on the panel, its alpha
numeric will flash rapidly.
Using The TIF 2000 From The Telephone
The TIF 2000 will behave differently depending on how it is
