Tone Commander 6002TA User Manual1 Introduction The Model 6002TA Analog Port Terminal Adapter adds one POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) port to a Tone Commander 6210 or 6220 ISDN telephone, for standard telephones, fax machines, or analog modems. Adapter circuitry is housed in a telephone base that replaces the standard base. POTS port features include independent ring delay settings, call waiting tone and caller ID display support, a privacy option to prevent line access from the 6210/6220 when busy, call transfer and conference, and originating call appearance selection. Typical Applications _____________________ Cordless handset or headset – calls can be originated or answered from a cordless phone or cordless headset phone. Call transfer and conference features are provided. On-hook and off-hook (call waiting) caller ID displays are supported, as well as call waiting tones. Conference Room Speakerphone – use high-performance analog conference room equipment, such as a Polycom SoundStation ® on your ISDN line. Calls can be dialed or answered on either the ISDN phone or the conference room speakerphone and easily switched between devices. Analog Modem – data rates up to 56Kbps for outgoing calls may be supported, depending on your modem and the connecting party. Call waiting tones may be disabled to ensure data integrity. Fax – your fax machine can answer and originate calls on your primary directory number, or any other number provisioned on your ISDN line. Privacy options are provided to ensure reliable fax transmission. Answering Machine – your answering machine can answer calls to any number provisioned on your ISDN line. Separate ring delays may be programmed on the analog port to allow calls to be answered on the ISDN phone before the answering machine picks up.
2Tone Commander 6002TA User Manual TTY – the analog port provides a standard non-acoustical connection point for TTY (teletypewriter) devices that meets the accessibility requirements of Section 508 for communication disabled users. You cannot place a modem or fax call and a voice call at the same time (only one active call is allowed). See page 6 for modem and fax application settings.
Tone Commander 6002TA User Manual3 Operation Placing a Call ___________________________ Go off-hook on the analog phone, wait for dial tone, then dial the called number. The originating call appearance indicator on the 6210/6220 will light amber while that line is in use by the POTS port. The call appearance selected for originating POTS calls (see page 13) is used if idle. If this call appearance is in use, another primary originating call appearance will be used if available. Only one call can be active at a time. Calls cannot be placed on the POTS port if the 6210/6220 is on an active call. When the POTS port is busy, no calls can be placed from the 6210/6220; the display will show “ANALOG PORT IN USE” if you attempt to place a call from the ISDN phone. Answering a Call ________________________ Call appearances will ring at the POTS port after the selected ring delay (see page 10), unless the ring delay is set to NEVER. Go off- hook on the analog phone to answer the call. The originating call appearance indicator on the 6210/6220 will light amber, and no calls can be placed from the 6210/6220 while the POTS port remains in use. The 6210/6220 has ring delay settings independent from the POTS port. Calls may ring at the 6210/6220 before ringing at the POTS port if the POTS port has a longer ring delay. If multiple calls are ringing, the first call appearance to ring at the POTS port is answered when going off-hook on the analog phone.
4Tone Commander 6002TA User Manual Switching a Call Between the POTS Port and Speakerphone or Handset ________________ Use the 6210/6220 Spkr key or hookswitch to switch a call from the analog phone to the 6210/6220 speakerphone or handset. The call will be disconnected from the POTS port. To switch the call back to the analog phone, hang up the analog phone first, go off-hook, then press the # key on the analog phone. You will not hear dial tone, and the # tone will not be sent out over the ISDN line. You can continue to switch the call between the phones regardless of where the call was answered. This feature is disabled if Privacy is set to ON (see page 11). Call Waiting ____________________________ Most telephones have a Flash key that sends a timed hookflash. This key is used during call swapping, conferencing, and transferring. If your analog phone does not have a Flash key, you can send a flash by quickly pressing and releasing the hookswitch. When the POTS port is in use and another call rings, a call waiting tone and/or a caller ID display may be sent to the analog phone. Press the Flash key on the analog phone to place the current call on hold and answer the incoming call. Swap between the calls by flashing. Call waiting may be set for caller ID, call waiting tone only, or disabled (see page 12).
Tone Commander 6002TA User Manual5 Conferencing Calls ______________________ Press the Flash key on the analog phone to place the current call on hold and originate a new call. Dial the second party. After the second party answers, flash again to conference all parties together. If the second party is busy, does not answer, or does not want to join the conference, hang up. Your phone will ring, and you will be reconnected to the first party when you answer. To add another party to the conference, flash again. Dial another party as above. The number of parties that can be in a conference is determined by your ISDN line provisioning from your service provider (typically 3 or 6). Transferring Calls _______________________ Calls can be transferred by establishing a conference call, then removing yourself from the conference. After establishing a call, press the Flash key, then dial the second party. Any time after the second party begins to ring, you can flash to conference all parties together, then hang up to remove yourself from the conference. You can wait until the second party answers to announce the call, or flash and hang up immediately for an unscreened transfer. The ISDN conference feature provisioned on your line must support implicit transfer capability. Otherwise, the two remaining parties will be disconnected when you hang up. If the second party is busy or you want to abort the transfer, hang up without flashing. Your phone will ring, and you will be reconnected to the first party when you answer.
6Tone Commander 6002TA User Manual Using an Analog Modem or Fax ____________ An analog modem or fax device may be connected to the POTS port. For this application: • If you have a dedicated call appearance (directory number) for incoming modem or fax calls, set ringing control for the POTS port to ALWAYS on that call appearance (page 10) for immediate answer by the fax or modem device. Set all other call appearances to NEVER. • Set the ringing control for the 6210/6220 to NEVER for the fax/modem call appearance (Setup → USER → RING → CONTROL). • Set the fax/modem call appearance as the primary originating POTS call appearance (page 13). • Privacy must be set to ON (page 11). • Disable POTS port call waiting (page 12). Using a Text Telephone (TTY) _____________ A text telephone can be connected to the POTS port, allowing you to answer text calls. After answering a call on the ISDN phone, you will hear a TTY alert tone from the calling party. Go off-hook and dial # on the text telephone to switch the call from the ISDN phone. For TTY applications: • If you have a dedicated call appearance (directory number) for TTY calls, set ringing control for the POTS port to ALWAYS on that call appearance (page 10) for immediate answer by text telephone. Set all other call appearances to NEVER. • If you do not have a dedicated TTY call appearance, and want to answer calls on the ISDN phone, set ringing control for the POTS port to NEVER or WAIT2-7 for all call appearances. • Privacy must be set to OFF (page 11). • Disable POTS port call waiting (page 12). • You may want to create a phone directory entry on the text telephone to simplify call switching. This entry should contain only the # character.
