Spirit Communications System ConnecT/R - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction
The following descriptions define important
terms used in this manual.
● The SPIRIT ® Communications System
ConnecT/R provides you with the ability to
add telephone devices to your SPIRIT
System. It connects to the controller.
● The controller is the central processor
through which all SPIRIT calls in your
company are processed.
● The SPIRIT Telephone (with the AT&T
SPIRIT logo on it) is specialized to work
within the SPIRIT Communications System.
You do not need a SPIRIT Telephone at-
tached to the ConnecT/R.
● The telephone device is a modem, answer-
ing machine, standard telephone, etc., you
can add to the SPIRIT System via the
ConnecT/R. You can add up to two tele-
phone devices to a single ConnecT/R, and
use them to place and receive calls. Interac-
tions with specific SPIRIT System features
are described later in this book.

The ConnecT/R allows you to add telephone
devices to your SPIRIT System in a way that
gives you much more flexibility than before.
Although it has always been possible to connect
answering machines, facsimile machines, mo-
dems, or standard telephones via the "line
auxiliary jack" on the controller, that jack re-
stricts their access to a single telephone line
within the SPIRIT System. But since the
ConnecT/R connects to ports designed for
SPIRIT Telephones themselves (which can
access multiple lines), the telephone devices can
function on as many telephone lines as the port
was customized to handle.
