Frequently Asked Questions 

1.

 

If  I  have  more  than  one  consolidator  can  I  connect  them  to  the  same 
phone  line  either  in  parallel  or  in  series  (using  a  “daisy  chain”)?

  Each 

consolidator requires its own phone line or local phone. (Exception: A multi-line 
local  phone,  connected  to  the  LOCAL  port  will  allow  multiple  consolidators  to 
be connected in parallel.) 

2.

 

What  kind  of  cable  do  I  need  to  run  from  the  Emergency  Phones  to  my 
Consolidator?  

We strongly recommend twisted, shielded pairs with the shield 

connected to earth ground only at the consolidator end.  The resistance on the 
line  is  not  to  exceed  25  ohms.    The  following  chart  shows  distances  and 
recommended wire gauges:

3.

 

I am using a c

onsolidator in “local” mode.  Do I need to program a phone 

number into my Emergency Phones?

  You must enter a phone number (see 

Emergency/Information  Phone  Manual,  page  8)  even  though  your  Talk-A-
Phone  unit  is  not  using  this  number  to  connect  to  the  local  phone.    We 
recommend the number 1234567. 

4.

 

If I made some mistakes during programming is there a way to reset the 
programming?   

If  you  have  forgotten  your  access  code,  you  may  reset  the 

programming on that consolidator to factory default by entering *30*14725836*.  
Note:  you  will  NOT  have  to  reprogram  your  individual  Emergency/Information 
Phones.
