Line Requirements
The incoming line may be loop start or ground start. Ground start lines
provide immediate forced disconnect when the user hangs up. However, with
loop start on the incoming line, if the user fails to enter the disconnect control
code (default # #) before hanging up, the M-106E will be held in a busy state
unless either (1) the central office is capable of forcing disconnect or (2) one of
the M-106E forced disconnect timeout options (Functions 4, 8, 9, or 18) has
been enabled. The outgoing line must be loop start.
Polarity
Both incoming and outgoing M-106E ports are polarity guarded. That is, a
reversal of Tip and Ring will not affect unit operation.
Input Power
The unit operates from standard 120 VAC wall power. A Class 2 UL and CSA
approved AC-to-AC transformer is included which converts the input voltage
to voltages required by the unit.
Features
The M-106E provides many features that can be enabled or adjusted by the
customer. The unit is programmed by placing a call to it and entering
programming mode. (There is no provision for connecting a telephone directly
to the unit in order to program it.) Programmable options are summarized
below. Programming procedures are described in Chapter 5.
Passwords
User access can be restricted by requiring entry of a password. A maximum of
25 passwords can be programmed, each 3 to 10 digits long. Any combination
of DTMF digits 0 through 9 can be used. The password requirement can be
disabled. Passwords must be followed by #.
When you receive the M-106E from the factory, Function 1, Password
Assignment, will be enabled, but passwords will not have been assigned.
Programmable Control Codes
These two or three digit codes control the M-106E. They can be changed from
their factory defaults to other values with either two or three characters in
length. Control codes include: Reseize (default **), Programming Access (default
#*), Switchhook flash (default *#), and Disconnect (default # #). Disconnect,
Reseize and Switchhook flash can be disabled by setting them to zero.
