TIF-2000A
Installation and Operation 25
Using the TIF-2000A From the Telephone
The TIF-2000A behaves differently depending on how it is programmed. It is up to the operator who programs the TIF-2000A to
convey to the user what to expect. If the user is not familiar with the operation of the TIF-2000A, it is best to keep the operation as
simple as possible. For this reason, it is suggested that you not use password required unless you have had problems with nuisance
calls in the past. If the TIF-2000A field user only requires one service, it is best to program that service on key 1, enable auto-
answer, and disable password required. As they become more familiar with its operation, you can then begin to offer more options
to the users, or begin to require a password.
When calling in, if the unit is in auto-answer mode, it will answer the call after the number of rings which have been selected. If
password required is not enabled, the unit will indicate it is ready with a single beep. If password required is enable, the TIF-2000A
will prompt for a password with 2 beeps. The user will enter the password, and the unit will either beep once if the password is
correct, or twice if it is wrong. The user is allowed three (3) attempts to enter the password, after which the TIF-2000A will
disconnect. In the event a user calls the TIF-2000A when the intercom system is either turned Off or absent, the TIF-2000A will
answer and prompt with three (3) beeps.
Once the password is entered, the TIF-2000A will enable talk and listen on key 1. This should be programmed ahead of time to
whatever communications the caller generally needs first. If it is not desirable for the caller to be able to talk at this point, then only
the listen key for key 1 should be programmed.
The caller may then either continue to use key 1 or select other keys with their DTMF pad. They may turn off key 1 by pressing
DTMF 1, or may continue to add other keys. At any time, the caller may turn off all keys without hanging up by press 0. When the
call is complete, the caller should enter *#, which will cause the TIF-2000A to disconnect. This is more reliable than waiting for
the phone system to pass the disconnect information to the TIF-2000A.
