Your Versa-Link ATX-250 can be used in a wide variety of applications by changing the selectable features. The following features are set with the configuration switches located on the back of your ATX-250:
Use a pen or other small instrument to make changes to the configuration
switches.
IMPORTANT: Configuration switch changes are not activated until AC power is re-applied. Therefore, unplug and reconnect the AC power cord after making any configuration switch changes to enter these settings into memory.
Your ATX-250 analyzes incoming calls for touch-tones and analyzes your equipment for both pulse-dial and touchtone device selection codes. There are four different sets of device selection codes that your ATX-250 will recognize. Set the configuration switches 1 and 2 according to the following table.
Remember to unplug and re-connect the AC power after changing the configuration switches.
The third set is useful for compatibility with other Versa-Link products. The fourth set allows extra security for equipment attached to "DEVICE 2".
If your equipment is pulse-dial only, you cannot use the codes containing the * symbol.
CALL OPTI-MIZER is useful if you want all incoming calls to go to DEVICE 2 when your office is unattended. See section 4.2.3 for a detailed description.
When using CALL OPTI-MIZER, there are three choices for the parameters that determine when a call is sent to DEVICE 2. CALL OPTI-MIZER can also be completely disabled. Set the configuration switches 3 and 4 according to the following table.
Some key tone telephone systems do not allow tone generation on an inbound call. On these systems, manual transfers can still be accomplished by fooling the telephone system into thinking it is making an outbound call. This is done by pressing the "FLASH" key on the telephone, and then dialing the device code for DEVICE 2.
Remember to unplug and re-connect the AC power after changing the configuration switches. For example, if your FAX is connected to DEVICE 2, and the device selection code for DEVICE 2 is * 2, calls can be manually transferred to the FAX by pressing FLASH and then * 2
To prevent the caller from being hung up when the FLASH key is pressed, you will want to activate Protected Hook Flash. This will place the call on hold while the flash button momentarily disconnects the line. Protected Hook Flash cannot be used if your phone is pulse-dial or if this line has "call waiting".
Configuration switch 5 is used to select Protected Hook Flash. Remember to unplug and re-connect the AC power after changing the configuration switch.
If you connect a FAX machine to your network, you will need to tell your ATX-250 which DEVICE port it is on. This allows auto-dial FAX calls to be transferred to your FAX machine automatically.
If you adding FAX to a voice line, connect the FAX to DEVICE 2.
If you are expanding a FAX line, connect the FAX to DEVICE 1.
Configuration switch 6 is used to select FAX tone detection. Remember to unplug and re-connect the AC power after changing the configuration switch.
The "Selective Ringing" feature on your ATX-250 is designed to be used in conjunction with the "distinctive ring" service offered by your local telephone company.In the "selective ring" mode, your ATX-250 will detect the multiple ring patterns and route the call to the intended phone device. Switching is completely transparent to the caller.
"Selective Ringing" can be enabled by simply placing all DIP Switches in, the up position as indicated below-and recycling power.
Manual Transfer - In "Selective Ringing" mode your ATX-250 has the same basic manual transfer capability as with normal function. To transfer calls to a selected device, enter the proper device selection code on your telephone key pad (or other equipment). The factory settings are:
When your ATX-250 was shipped to you, it was programmed with the following settings:
To restore the original factory settings, set the configuration switches (located on the back of your ATX-250) according to the chart below. Set switches 1 and 6 UP, and switches 2,3,4, and 5 DOWN.
Unplug the AC power cord on your ATX-250 for about 2 seconds and re-connect the power to activate the new settings.
