Mode 1 (equal access) gives the telephone
device and the 
SPIRIT Telephone equal
access to the connection, regardless of which
made the connection first (like an extension
phone in your home). You could use this
mode, for example, if the attached device is a
cordless phone and you want to use it as an
extension. If you attached an answer/
record machine, this mode would allow you
to record conversations because both the
recorder and the SPIRIT Telephone can be
on the call at the same time*.

8Step 2— If the telephone device has touch
tone dialing, set ADMIN for call restrictions.
Both rotary and touch tone devices can be
restricted from making certain kinds of calls.
The difference is that rotary devices are re-
stricted at the port (along with the attached
SPIRIT Telephone, according to the way the
port was customized) and touch-tone devices
are restricted by setting ADMIN on the back of
the ConnecT/R.
This step is required if the telephone device is
touch tone only or has been set to touch...

Use the following table to choose the setting
appropriate for your needs.

against the wall where you plan to mount it
and use a pencil to mark the location of the
holes in the tabs. The bottom of the
ConnecT/R should be at least two feet from
the floor.
If you have plywood walls or walls with a
sturdy supporting structure (either wood
studs or cross members), partially screw the
two screws into the wall at the marks, re-
move them, hang the tabs on the screws, and
then tighten the...

ConnecT/R. You can connect it by plugging
it into the TEL DEVICE jack on the
ConnecT/R or by plugging it into the wall
jack that is connected to the TEL DEVICE
jack on the ConnecT/R.
To install two telephone devices on a
ConnecT/R, use a T-type adapter (AT&T
part # 267A2 or 267A). Plug the adapter into
the TEL DEVICE jack (either directly or
indirectly through a wall jack, as described
above) and plug the telephone devices into
the adapter jack.
Connect the ConnecT/R to the AC power
outlet. Plug...

Step 5 — Test the equipment.–
– After the ConnecT/R is installed, test the tel-
phone device and SPIRIT Telephone as follows.
1.To test for dial tone, pick up the receiver (or
its equivalent) of the telephone device and
listen. If there is no dial tone
Check whether the attached SPIRIT
Telephone (if there is one) is in use and
whether the MODE setting is 2 or 4.

–Check the wiring and power connections.
Be sure that the port on the controller is
administered for Automatic Line Selec-
tion.

Using the Telephone Device
Note that the ConnecT/R may feel warm
under normal operation.
Telephone devices attached to the ConnecT/R
will operate similarly to the way they would if
they were installed directly into a normal tele-
phone line, but they will be affected by the way
the station port was administered and the way
you set MODE and ADMIN. If you experience
difficulties or if the device behaves in unex-
pected ways, consult the Troubleshooting
section of this guide. If difficulties persist,...

NOTE: The ability of a touch tone tele-
phone device to place certain calls is based
on the way ADMIN was set on the
ConnecT/R. A rotary device is restricted
according to the way the port was
customized.
To place an intercom call, lift the receiver or its
equivalent and dial [ # ] [ # ] on a touch tone device
or 1 1 on a rotary device. Then dial the 2-digit
intercom extension. (You will hear an error tone
if you dial an invalid internal extension.)
