MF & Time Break Recall operation

MF & Time Break Recall operation

The 20AT uses MF signalling and TB recall signalling only. Contact your telephone

line provider if unsure of the type of signalling you should be using.
During a call, phones can use a recall signal to indicate to the exchange that they

are about to send more digits.

REN Values

To ring properly when a call arrives all phones draw a small current from the

telephone line. All telephone devices have a REN value, a measure of how many
'current units' they need to ring properly.
Most telephone lines can provide ringing current for a total REN of 4. If the total REN
of all the devices on the line exceeds that value, then some of the devices may not

ring when calls arrive.
If it is necessary to connect more devices to a line than it can support, equipment

exists that can increase the total REN provided by the line. Contact your line
provider for details.
• The 20AT has a REN of 1. It can share the same telephone line as other

telephone devices so long as the total REN does not exceed that of the line
(usually 4). INDeX standard telephone sockets provide a REN of 2.

20AT Approvals

The apparatus is approved for connection to the PSTN or suitable PBX supporting

DTMF signalling.
The 20AT has been approved for use of the following facilities:

• DTMF signalling.
• Mute.
• Dual level receive volume control.

Any other usage will invalidate the approval of the apparatus if as a result it then

ceases to comply with the standards against which the approval was granted.
This apparatus is capable of 999/112 calls to the emergency services.
