The ConnecT/R allows you to add telephone
devices to your SPIRIT System in a way that
gives you much more flexibility than before.
Although it has always been possible to connect
answering machines, facsimile machines, modems, or standard telephones via the "line
auxiliary jack" on the controller, that jack restricts their access to a single telephone line
within the SPIRIT System. But since the
ConnecT/R connects to ports designed for
SPIRIT
Telephones themselves (which can
access multiple lines), the telephone devices can
function on as many telephone lines as the port
was customized to handle.
