INTRODUCTION

INSTALLATION

This manual describes the installation, programming, and
operating procedures for the RTS Model TIF 2000 Digital
Hybrid Telephone Line Interface. Since TIF 2000 functions
as a keypanel, the user may also need to refer to the
manuals and/or on-line help files for CSedit, ADAMedit, or
ZEUSedit for information on configuring certain features.

Important! Be sure to review any recently added
supplemental information before proceeding.
Supplements are placed at the back of the manual.

DESCRIPTION

The TIF 2000 is a single line digital hybrid telephone line
interface designed to be compatible with ADAM,
ADAM CS, ZEUS, and CS 9000 series intercom systems. It
provides bi-directional communication between the inter­com matrix and a standard DTMF capable telephone line. It
allows the phone to access all crosspoints of the matrix, as
well as dynamic party lines, IFB circuits, and other forms of
communications. The 1U high by ½ wide rack mountable
(via an optional kit) TIF 2000 provides a transparent link to
the telephone system enabling full dial-out capability from
any designated keypanel with keypad. The TIF 2000 has full
dial-in capability giving the caller a keypanel on the system
via commands from the DTMF pad on their telephone.
Since the TIF 2000 appears to the matrix as any other
keypanel would, the only limitation on the number of units
in the system is the same as for other keypanels.

Rear Panel DIP Switch (S201)

The rear panel DIP switch contains switches to configure
the most often changed options. These include: auto answer
on/off, ring signal on/off, password on/off, intercom port
address, and full duplex method.

Auto Answer

Turning on the auto answer option will set the unit to
answer the phone automatically when it rings. The number
of rings required before it answers is determined by the
setting of internal DIP switch (S202). If auto answer is
turned off, the line will ring until someone at a keypanel
answers the call or until the Select button on the TIF 2000’s
front panel is pressed. To turn on auto answer, place switch
1 in the down position. To turn off auto answer, place switch
1 in the up position.

Generate Ring Signal

Turning on the generate ring signal option sets the unit so
that when the phone line is ringing, keypanels that are
configured to receive ring signals will produce an audible
ring. To turn on the ring signal, place switch 2 in the down
position. To turn off the ring signal, place switch 2 in the up
position.

Passwo rd Required

Turning on the password required option sets the unit so that
when a call is automatically answered, the user must enter a
password via DTMF before the unit will allow communica­tions. The password numeric sequence and length are
determined by the settings of internal DIP switch (S203). To
turn on the password required option, place switch 3 in the
down position. To turn off the password required option,
place switch 3 in the up position.

bit (MSB). To turn on (set bit to 1), place the desired switch
in the down position. To turn off (set bit to 0), place the
desired switch in the up position. ADAM, ADAM CS, and
