INITIAL SETUP
IDENTIFYING EXISTING WIRING
Thank you for purchasing this 4-line fully customizable telephone system. To fully take
advantage of the unit’s robust system features and to ensure correct installation, it is important
to review and follow the owner’s guide carefully.
INITIAL SETUP
CREATING YOUR UNIQUE SYSTEM
If the installation site is currently wired with RJ11 jacks, it is recommended that you upgrade to
RJ14 jacks, available at your telephone supplier.
SYSTEM COMMUNICATION
A system is when there are more than one Executive Series phones and they all have line 1
connected and in common. For the system to operate, line 1 must be common to all stations.
Using RF/IF technology, the units communicate with each other using the wiring of line 1,
without affecting normal telephone operation. System information like station status and line use
status is communicated over this common wire along with up to two simultaneous intercom
conversations. The remaining lines, lines 2, 3 and 4 can be common to all or some of the
stations. If line 1 is disconnected, you can still make and receive phone calls but the unit will not
work as part of the system.
■
The maximum length of the TOTAL telephone wire (including the line cords) in a system should not exceed
500 feet for line 1.
■
If line 1 or 2 is a DSL line, you will need to install a filter (from your DSL service provider) for proper operation. See
page 45.
SQUARE CONFIGURATION
When all lines are all common, the configuration is called “square”. The chart below shows a
simple square configuration. Since all lines are common, calls on any line can be transferred to
any station.
If you are installing or having installed
telephone jacks, two RJ14 jacks are
recommended.
