equipped with a keypad must originate the call, either he or she must have a key
programmed to activate a DTMF sequence.
After the call is made, the distant TEL-14 goes off-hook and the incoming
telephone call becomes available to the telephone keys the TEL-14 port is preset
to.
PARTY LINE DIAL-IN MODE
Two TEL-14 lines may be programmed into the same party line. "Auto answer"
should be enabled to allow people to call and automatically connect into the
party line. The callers may then communicate with each other, as well as anyone
on the party line. When a caller disconnects, the TEL-14 line will automatically
disconnect after a short time, depending upon the response time of the telephone
central office.
Note: When a TEL-14 is connected to an Eclipse system it will operate automatically
in auto-answer mode even if Auto-Answer is not enabled on the TEL-14 hardware
using the auto-answer button. This is to allow callers to enter a PIN code after
dialling in before being connected to the system. See the Eclipse Configuration System
manual for information on PIN codes for external callers.
