DIAL IN [3]
The following parameters determine how Express II
will communicate when the unit is called.
1. Rings Until Answer—This parameter determines
the number of rings that must occur before Express
II will answer. This value can be from 1 to 15. The
default is
1 ring.
2. Telephone Answering Device compatibility
(TAD)—Express II can be used on the same
telephone line that also has a telephone answering
device, such as an answering machine, modem or
FAX. The TAD feature is especially useful because it
integrates the operation of the Express II with your
telephone answering device in a way that retains the
full flexibility of each system. This allows you to
have on-demand telephone access to the Express II,
for obtaining a Status Report, or for issuing call-in
commands, while your telephone answering device is
set to receive outside calls. Programming for use with
a telephone answering device (TAD) is always used in
conjunction with RINGS UNTIL ANSWER, detailed
on this page.
NOTE: The TAD feature only applies to answering
devices connected to the same telephone line as the
Express II.
USING TAD:
By enabling this feature, you will be able to bypass
the answering device and access Express II for a
status report or programming. If there are no
other devices hooked up to the phone line, this
feature should be disabled. The default is
disabled.
1) Make sure the TAD feature is enabled. The default
setting is disabled, so you must enable it initially.
2) Determine the number of rings your telephone
answering device uses to answer the telephone.
Most answering devices require 4 rings; others are
selectable.
3) Program the Express II RINGS UNTIL ANSWER
to a greater number than that of the number of
rings set on your answering device.
