Introduction

This manual describes the installation, programming, and operating procedures for the RTS Model TIF-4000 Digital Hybrid Telephone Line Interface Frame. Since the TIF-4000 functions as a keypanel, the user may also need to refer to the manuals and/or on-line help files for AZedit, 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-4000 is a frame of up to 12 digital telephone interface cards (TIF-4000 front card), with a redundant power supply designed to be compatible with ADAM, ADAM CS, and Zeus intercom systems. It provides bidirectional 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 4RU high mountable TIF-4000 provides a transparent link to the telephone system enabling full dial-out capability from any designated keypanel with keypad. The TIF-4000 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-4000 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.

Installation

DIP Switch (201) Settings

The TIF-4000 front card DIP switch contains switches to configure the most often changed options. These include:

word on/off, intercom port address, and full duplex mode

AUTO ANSWER (Switch 1)

GENERATE RING SIGNAL (Switch 2)

PASSWORD REQUIRED (Switch 3)

INTERCOM PORT ADDRESS (Switches 4-7)

auto-answer on/off, ring signal on/off, pass-

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-4000’s front card 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.

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.

Turning ON the password required option sets the unit so that when a call is automatically answered, the caller 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 (on S201) in the down position. To turn OFF the password required option, place switch 3 (on S201) in the up position.

Switches 4 to 7 determine the address of the unit. The port address is expressed in binary with switch 4 being the least significant bit (LSB) and switch 7 being the most significant bit (MSB). To turn ON (set bit to 1) , place the desired switch in the down position. Turn OFF (set bit to 0), place the desired switch in the up position. ADAM, ADAM CS, and

Zeus units use a 1-8 address scheme for their ports (e.g. ports 1-8 have address 1-8, ports 9-16 have addresses 1-8, etc...). CS9xxx systems use a 1-10 scheme for port address (e.g. ports 1-10 have address 1-10. ports 11-20 have addresses 1-10, etc...).

When using full duplex mode, users may hear an increased amount of echo on the line. This may be more pronounced when the TIF-4000 is forced into full duplex mode all of the time (switch 8 open) rather only when audio is present (switch 8 closed).

Internal DIP Switch (S202)

Internal DIP switch (see Figure 3) is accessed by removing the card from the frame

NOTE: You must set the card address before you put the card into the Frame.

To set the address for ADAM, ADAM CS, or Zeus systems, do the following

1 Determine the port number that will be used

for the TIF-4000.

2 Locate the port number and its corresponding

address in Table 1.

3 Determine the DIP switch settings by looking

up the address determined in the previous step in Table 2.

4 Set the DIP switches on the back of the unit.

To set the address for CS 9xxx systems, do the following

1 Determine the intercom port (audio channel

number) that will be used for the TIF-4000.

2 For port numbers ending in 1 through 9, the

address is the last digit of the port number. If the last digit is zero, use 10 as the address number.

3 Determine the DIP switch settings by looking

up the address in Table 2.

4 Set the DIP switches on the back of the unit.

FULL DUPLEX METHOD SWITCH 8 (S201) Switch 8 (S201) controls the method by which full duplex operation is implemented in the unit. This switch only works if full duplex mode is set via internal DIP switch (S202), switch 7 (factory default setting for Switch 7 is OFF, full duplex mode). If switch 8 is in the open position, then the unit will be forced into full duplex mode all the time. If switch 8 (S201) is in the closed position, then the unit will be forced into full duplex mode only when audio is present.

RING COUNT Switches 1 and 2 determine the number of rings before the unit auto answers. The ring count is approximate. The switches have no effect unless switch 1 on the rear panel DIP switch bank is in the down position. To set the ring count, see Table 3.

DTMF OR PULSE DIAL SELECTION Switch 3 sets the dialing mode to either Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF, also known as touch tone) or Pulse. When the switch is in the OFF position, DTMF dialing is selected. When the switch is in the ON position, Pulse dialing is selected.

POINT-TO-POINT SEIZE Switch 4 turns ON and OFF the Point-to-Point Seize feature. When the switch is in the OFF position, the normal line seize operation (via the keypanel) is selected. When the switch is in the ON position a line will be seized immediately upon the designated TIF4000’s talk key being pressed via the keypanel.

ONE TOUCH DIAL Switch 5 enables/disables the One Touch Dialing feature. When the switch is in the OFF position, One Touch Dial is disabled. When the switch is in the ON position, One Touch Dial is enabled.

One Touch Dial works as follows

: If a number is stored in Auto Dial memory 1 on the TIF-4000, and the line is on-hook, then the TIF-4000 will autodial the number stored in Auto Dial memory 1 whenever any keypanel closes a point-to-point talk key to the TIF-4000.

FAST SEIZE Switch 6 enables/disables the Fast Seize feature. If the switch is in the OFF position, Fast Seize is disabled. If the switch is in the ON position, Fast Seize is enabled. If Fast Seize is enabled and the unit is set to auto answer, then the TIF-4000 will answer or “seize” the line at the start of the first ring.

It is important to note that a ring will not be heard on any of the keypanels

DSP FULL OR HALF DUPLEX SELECTION Switch 7 determines either full duplex or half duplex operation. If the switch is set to the OFF position, the DSP is forced into full duplex mode as determined by the setting of switch 8 on the DIP switch bank located on the rear panel of the TIF-4000. See Full Duplex Method for more information. If the switch is set to the ON position, the DSP is never forced into full duplex.

AUDIO DUCKING Switch 8 enables/disables the Audio Ducking feature. If the switch is set to the ON position, Audio Ducking is disabled. If the switch is set to the OFF position, Audio Ducking is enabled. The Audio Ducking feature helps eliminate feedback between the intercom system and the telephone line.

Connections

INTERCOM Use either of the “To Matrix” connectors (but not both) to connect to an intercom port. The intercom port that you connect to will determine the address of the unit (see Setting Address). Cable wiring diagrams are shown in Figure 6 and 7. An LED labeled “Data” is located on the front card and serves as a basic indicator of data being present.

TELEPHONE AND TELEPHONE LINE There are two telephone connections provided on the rear of the TIF-4000. Plug the telephone line into the jack labeled “Phone Line”. You may also plug a standard telephone into the jack labeled “Loop Thru”.

NOTE: The standard telephone plugged into the “Loop Thru” jack is disconnected when the TIF-4000 seizes the telephone line.

Relay

Simply put, a relay is a switch that is OPEN or CLOSED. In the case of the TIF-4000, when it is offhook (a call is active), the switch is closed and an indicator, such as an external lamp, can be activated.

Internal DIP Switch (S203)

Internal DIP switch (S203) select the password. It has no effect unless password required has been enabled on the DIP switch located on the rear panel. When password required is enabled, the password must be entered via DTMF by the caller before they may communicate. This is to prevent unauthorized use of the intercom by callers. (See Table 5.)

Switches 7 and 8 select the length of the password, from 1 digit to 4 digits. If set for 1 digit only, the first digit of the password used , if set for 2 digits, then the first 2 digits are used, etc. See Table 4.

Setting Audio Levels

Audio levels to the intercom matrix and to the telephone line can be adjust via the trim pots located on the front card.

SETTING AUDIO LEVELS TO INTERCOM MATRIX Adjustments may be made via the front card pots (see Figure 1). To adjust the pot use a small flat blade, screw driver, or trimpot adjustment tool. Initially set the front card level control for mid-range. Have the caller talk at their normal level and adjust the control for the best audio quality while avoiding going into the red section of the audio meter (to Matrix) located on the front panel.

SETTING AUDIO LEVELS TO TELEPHONE LINE Adjustment may be made via the front card control (see Figure 1). To adjust the control use a small flat blade screwdriver or trimpot adjustment tool. Initially set the front card level control for mid-range. Have the caller talk at their normal level and adjust the control for the best audio quality, while avoiding going into the red section of the audio meter (to Telephone) located on the front card.

Configuring for Country’s Telephone System

The TIF-4000 should be configured to work with the telephone system to which it is connected. Each country or area of the world has unique signaling differences that could cause erratic operation of the TIF-4000 if it is not properly configured. If the system you intend to connect to is not properly configured. If the system you intend to connect to is not currently supported, you may request a configuration using the form located in the back of this manual.

To configure the unit for use with a specific country’s telephone system do the following:

NOTE: AZedit must be configured to allow firmware downloads.

1 Connect the TIF-4000 to the intercom system. 2 Run the AZedit software and go to the

keypanel software versions screen. This is located under the Status Menu (Status> Software Versions> Keypanels).

3 Click on the entry for the TIF-4000 you wish to

configure.

4 The configurations are in a self-extracting

archives on the included disk. Extract and copy these files to a known location on the computer connected to the intercom matrix.

5 Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to start the software

download process. A download screen appears.

6 Select the location you copied the files to in

step 4 and select the file corresponding to the country needed.

7 Click OK.

Once the software versions window reappears, the process is complete.

The status reported for the TIF-4000 contains a number corresponding to the country configuration. This is reported as LOCALE=XX where XX is a specific number for each country. The current possible configurations are:

LOCALE # Country or Countries

Operation

Operation From A Keypanel

The TIF-4000 is operated from the intercom keypanels, and from the dial pad on the telephone at the remote end of the line. Any keypanel with a keypad may use a TIF-4000. All that is necessary is to program a key to talk to the TIF-4000, as if it were a keypanel. The alpha numeric display or tally LED for that key then provides information about the phone line. A solid display or non-illuminated LED indicates a line which is not in use. A slow flash indicates a line which is in use (off hook). A rapidly flashing display or LED indicates a line which is ringing. In addition, the alpha numeric display will display digits as they are dialed, and the LED will flash for each digit.

NOTE: Displayed tallies will be different if the “Don’t generate tallies for TIF or trunk use” option has been selected in Options> Intercom Configuration.

PROGRAMMING A KEY TO USE THE TIF-4000 To use the TIF-4000, either to answer a call, or to call out, you first need to program a key to talk to the TIF-

4000. This is accomplished in the same manner as programming a key to talk to a keypanel. To program a key by port number, enter NUM-nnn-PGM-t, where NUM is the number 1 key, nnn is the port number of the TIF-4000 you want to use, and t is any talk key. You will also need to use the listen key, so it should be assigned as either AF (auto-follow), or AL (auto-listen).

NOTE: The TIF-4000 only responds to commands which are sent via a point-to-point key assignment. If you wish to use the TIF-4000 primarily on a PL, you must add a point-to-point assignment as the L2 talk assignment on the talk key for any panels which are going to either answer the line, or dial out on the line.

DIALING A CALL NOTE: The KP-32 can use either of these methods to dial using a TIF-4000.

This will return the keypanel to normal operating mode. If the called party answers, proceed with you conversation.

To dial a call on the TIF-4000 using a KP-96 or KP-32, do the following

1 Turn on the listen key for the line you wish to

dial on. This will allow you to hear dial tone, and your DTMF dialing tones.

2 Enter dial mode by entering PHONE-PGM-T.

PHONE is the 4 button on the keypad. PGM is on the keypad, and T is the talk key which is programmed to talk to the TIF-4000 you are dialing on. Leave the talk key in the latched position as you dial the number.

3 Dial the number. As you enter each digit, it will

appear in the alpha display above the key you are dialing on. If the listen key is latched, you will hear each DTMF tone as it is generated.

4 When you have completed dialing, momen-

tarily turn off the talk key to exit dial mode. The alpha numeric display will revert to normal, and you may use the key and keypad in the normal manner.

NOTE: Digits 0-9 generate the DTMF digits 0-9. PGM generates the #, and CLR generates *(#and * are displayed for these keys).

It is necessary to press CLR twice if you wish to generate an *, as a single CLR is used to trigger the speed dial and redial features.

HANGING UP

The TIF-4000 will detect the call at the far end has hung up under most circumstances. It detects the hang up by either loop interrupt, battery reversal, or the presence of a dial tone or a busy signal. Some telephone systems do not provide any of the above, so it will be necessary to force a hang up. In addition, if the call was placed to an auto answer device, it will be necessary to force a hang up when the call is complete.

Enter PHONE-CLR-t, where PHONE is the 4 on the keypad, CLR is the CLR button, and t is the talk key which is programmed to talk to the TIF-4000 which you want to hang up. This will disconnect the line for which you struck the talk key.

NOTE: If talk is in the ON position, you must turn off the key, then momentarily turn it on again to indicate which line you wish to disconnect. If the line is in dialing mode, then you must first exit dialing mode by turning off the key, then use PHON-CLR-t to hang up.

To dial a call on the TIF-4000 using a KP-12, KP-812 or KP-32, do the following:

1 Tap the phone key to begin your call. This will

place the keypanel in dial mode: the CALL indicator will turn on, and the MAN DIAL (manual dial) will display in the call waiting window. You should also hear the dial tone.

NOTE: You can hang up the phone line at this

time by simply tapping the phone key again.

2 Click SELECT to select MAN DIAL The twelve

intercom keys can now be used to dial a telephone number. Each key corresponds to the number printed next to it on the front of the panel. If the keypanel has alphanumeric displays, the key numbers are displayed above each key.

3 Begin dialing the number by tapping the

appropriate keys. After you dial the first digit, END DIAL will appear in the call waiting window. When you have completed the dialing, click SELECT to select END DIAL.

Re-dialing the Last Number

The TIF-4000 remembers the last number which it has dialed.

1 Enter dialing mode by following instructions for

dialing a call.

2 Enter CLR-0-0. The TIF-4000 will automati-

cally redial the last number it dialed.

3 Momentarily release the talk key to exit dialing

mode.

For example, If you have a call to 818.566.6700 and you are disconnected, issuing the redial command will reestablish the call. The redial command may be issued from any keypanel in the intercom, not just the keypanel that originally dialed the call.

DIALING A SPEED DIAL NUMBER The TIF-4000 has 24 internal memories for storing frequently used phone numbers. To dial one of these numbers, do the following:

3 If you have been programmed as a default station,

your panel will “ring” whenever one of the lines rings. If you do not have a key already programmed, the ringing line will appear on your incoming call key (the key farthest to the right on the main panel, also known as the Call Waiting Window or CWW). To answer, press the incoming call key and answer. You should copy the key to a main key position, either just before or just after you answer, so you can turn on the listen key to hear the caller audio.

TIF-4000 System Setup to Receive Calls

To the intercom system, the TIF-4000 is similar to a keypanel. If the phone lines are to be used for outgoing calls only, then no programming in AZedit is necessary. If users are going to phone into the intercom system from the outside, then the TIF-4000 needs to be configured to allow them to use the phone line in much the same way a local user uses the keypanel.

1 Enter Dial mode. 2 Enter CLR-nn, where CLR is the clear button

on the keypad, and nn is two digits, which are the speed dial code.

3 Momentarily release the talk key to exit the

dialing mode.

STORING A SPEED DIAL NUMBER

1 After dialing the number the usual way, but

before exiting dial mode, enter the CLR-PGM- nn before you release the talk key to exit dialing mode.

2 Momentarily release the talk key to exit dialing

mode.

NOTE: To generate a pause during auto dial, enter *99. This is used, for example, if you need to enter a

digit to get an outside line, and your phone system requires a pause before continuing to dial.

Each number may contain up to 25 digits.

A TIF-4000 can have different numbers stored in it. Unlike the TIF-951, the TIF-4000 stores the numbers in non-volatile memory and therefore does not require a UPS to maintain stored speed dial numbers.

Programming information for the phone line is entered into AZedit just as if the TIF-4000 were an ordinary keypanel, by selecting “Keys” from the main menu, then selecting the TIF-4000 from the pick list of keypanels. The TIF-4000 operates much the same way as a keypanel, except the “keys” are really the DTMF buttons on the user’s telephones.

AUTO ANSWER MODE To use the TIF-4000 in auto answer mode, you must first enable auto answer mode on the front card DIP switch bank, switch 1. You may also wish to enable Password Required, switch 3. In addition, you may select the number of rings before the unit answers (internal DIP switch bank #2), and the actual password (internal DIP switch bank #3).

When the caller dials into the TIF-4000, they will hear the line ring, then the unit will answer and beep to request the password (if password required is enabled). The user must enter the password. The unit will beep once to confirm a proper password. If the password is not correct, the unit will beep twice to allow another try. The user is allowed 3 attempts to enter the correct password, after which the TIF-4000 will disconnect.

ANSWERING A CALL

1 When a line is ringing, the alpha-numeric display

or LED above the talk key which is programmed for that line will flash rapidly.

2 To answer the call, first turn the listen key ON,

then press the talk key and speak into the microphone or headset.

Once the password has been entered, the TIF-4000 will establish communications on key #1 automatically. From AZedit, this will be talk and listen key #1. If for example, the user is a camera operator, it may be desirable to program the camera PL as talk and listen on talk and listen keys #1. If the caller were a reporter,

You might program an IFB on listen key #1, but no talk key #1.

Keys 2 to 7 may also be programmed. To use the other keys from the phone, just press the DTMF button for the key you wish to use. For example, if key #1 was the camera PL, and you have finished with the shot, you may press #1, which will toggle off key 1. If master control were programmed on key #2, you may then press 2 and call master control. Likewise, you might have an IFB programmed on listen 3, with no talk. If you press 3, you will hear the IFB. #4 could have an IFB talk on it, to allow a caller to speak on an IFB circuit.

Each DTMF button acts as if it were a push ON/ push OFF switch. When programming in AZedit, program the same key number as the number the user is going to press on the telephone to speak.

Talk keys 8 to 15 have a special purpose. If you are not using auto answer mode, but have set up the TIF4000 to be manually answered, talk keys 8 to 15 will be programmed for the keypanels which are to receive the ring signal. They may also be toggled ON and OFF from the phone by DTMF 8, so they may be used in auto answer mode as well. You may program only key 8, in which case it will behave the same as keys 1-

7. You may also program additional keypanels, PLs, IFBs, etc. on keys 9-15, and they will be activated simultaneously by the 8 button on the phone.

MANUAL ANSWER MODE In manual answer mode, the line will ring until it is answered from a keypanel. In general, you must designate panels which are to receive the ring, so they can answer the line. When a line is manually answered, the caller does not have to enter a password, even if the password required switch is turned ON. You may mix modes by enabling auto answer, but setting the ring count for 8 rings. If no user has answered the call by 8 rings, the TIF-4000 will then automatically answer the call, and if the password required is enabled, the call will be screened by requiring a password.

To use manual answer mode, you may choose to program keys 1 to 7 as above if you wish. When the phone is manually answered, key 1 will not be automatically activated, but the caller may activate any of the keys if he wishes.

You must also designate the panels which are going to ring when the line rings. Program these panels on keys 8 to 15, using both L1 and L2 if you have more than 8. It is generally not necessary to program the listen keys on these positions. When the line rings, the

TIF-4000 will “call” these panels when the line is ringing. The TIF-4000 generates a ringer noise which is then transmitted to these panels. The panels will display the TIF-4000’s alpha numeric in the incoming call window (CWW), and if a talk key has already been programmed on the panel, its alpha numeric will flash rapidly.

Using the TIF-4000 From the Telephone

The TIF-4000 will behave differently depending on how it is programmed. It is up to the operator who programs the TIF-4000 to convey to the user what to expect. If the user is not familiar with the operation of the TIF-4000, it is best to keep the operation as simple as possible. For this reason, it is suggested that you not use password required unless you have had problems with nuisance calls in the past. If the TIF4000 field user only requires one service, it is best to program that service on key 1, enable auto answer, and disable password requires. The telephone user will then only have to dial the proper phone number to use the interface. As they become more familiar with its operation, you can then begin to offer more options to the users, or begin to require a password.

When calling in, if the unit is in auto answer mode, it will answer the call after the number of rings which have selected. If password required is not enabled, the unit will indicate it is ready with a single beep. If password required is enabled, the TIF-4000 will prompt for a password with 2 beeps. The user will enter the password, and the unit will either beep once if the password was correct, or twice if is wrong. The user is allowed 3 attempts to enter the password, after which the TIF-4000 will disconnect. In the event a user calls the TIF-4000 when the intercom system is either turned OFF or absent, the TIF-4000 will answer and prompt with 3 beeps.

Once the password is entered, the TIF-4000 will enable talk and listen on key 1. This should be programmed ahead of time to whatever communications the caller generally needs first. If it is not desirable for the caller to be able to talk at this point, then only the listen key for key 1 should be programmed.

The caller may then either continue to use key 1 or select other keys with their DTMF pad. They may turn off key 1 by pressing DTMF 1, or may continue to add other keys. At any time, the caller may turn off all keys without hanging up by pressing 0. When the call is complete, the caller should enter*#, which will cause the TIF-4000 to disconnect. This is more reliable than waiting for the phone system to pass the disconnect information to the TIF-4000.

DTMF CODES Once programmed, the TIF-4000 may be operated via the DTMF keypad on the telephone. The DTMF keys have the following functions:

Normal Mode

: 1 thru 7 Toggle ON and OFF talk and listen #1 to #7.

NOTE: Initially, #1 will be enabled if the unit auto answered the line.

1 nnn # K Program a talk key to a point-to-point.

2 nn #K Program a talk key to a PL.

01 nn # K Program a talk key to a special list.

02 nn # K Program a talk key to an IFB.

03 nn # K Program a talk ISO.

04 nn # K Program a talk key relay.

8 Toggle ON and OFF talk and listen to the

panels which ring when the line is ringing. This allows the caller to “recall” the panels without having to hang up and redial. Toggling this ON will allow the callers voice to be heard from all the panels which normally ring.

9 Enters programming mode, to reassign keys.

0 Turn OFF all talk and listen keys. Since 1-8

are toggles, it is possible to forget which keys are ON and which are OFF. In this case, just press 0 to turn them all OFF, and start over.

*1 thru *7 Toggle ON and OFF listen 1-7. By pressing *

before the key, you only effect the listen. This allows you to listen to a circuit without talking to it, or to talk to a circuit without listening to it.

NOTE: You will automatically listen and talk to #1 if the TIF-4000 auto answered the line.

*8 Toggle ON and OFF listen for 8-15.

3 5 # K Program a talk key to all call (turn on the

lower numbered talk keys).

1 nnn # *K Program a listen key to point-to-point.

2 nn # *K Program a listen key to PL.

3 2 # *K Program a listen key to auto follow.

3 3 # *K Program a listen key to auto mute.

01 nn # *K Program a listen key to a special list.

02 nn # *K Program a listen key to an IFB.

03 nn # *K Program a listen ISO.

04 nn # *K Program a listen key to a relay.

*9 Exit programming mode.

*0 Exit programming mode and turn OFF all

talk and listen.

*# Disconnect.

*# Disconnect. This will cause the TIF-4000 to

hang up. It is a good idea to do this before you hang up, as many phone systems take a long time to signal that the far end has hung up.

Programming Mode

: You may reprogram the talk and listen assignments on 1-7, just as you can on a keypanel (if they are not restricted via AZedit). Note, the sequences are the same as the sequence you would use from a keypanel, except that you must first enter programming mode by pressing 9.

NOTE: The use of programming mode is discouraged due to a lack of feedback to the user to verify a programming sequence.

NOTES

1 0-9 are the number keys, * and # are the star and

pound keys. 2 nnn is three digit for the panel number 3 nn is two digit for an IFB, PL, Relay, Special List,

or ISO. 4 K is a key which you are programming, just press

the digit (1-7). This is used to represent the listen

key.

TELEPHONE INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS FORM October 2004

The Telex TIF 4000 Digital Hybrid Telephone Line Interface has been designed to respond to ringing for autoanswer and to respond to a number of conditions to detect hang-up. These conditions are (in the standard product) based upon the telephone systems of the US and other select countries. PBX (private branch exchange) systems in the US and other countries may have ringing and hang-up characteristics which differ from the design parameters used in the TIF 4000. Public telephone systems in countries other than those currently supported by Telex may have ringing and hang-up characteristics which differ from the design parameters used in the TIF 4000. Additionally, some countries require governmental approval for connection of the TIF 4000 to the public telephone system. Telex handles these requirements on a case by case basis and may require a onetime engineering fee to adapt the TIF 4000 for a specific telephone system or to obtain governmental approval. Additionally, Telex may require the customer to initiate the government approval process of the TIF 4000 for their particular telephone system.

Here is a form which can be used to obtain the required specific technical information.
