Installation Instructions

The Model 6001 Terminal Adapter allows a Tone Commander 6210 or 6220 ISDN telephone to be controlled by a
TAPI-compliant Windows computer application program. Adapter circuitry is housed in a telephone base that
replaces the standard base. An RS-232 serial port on the base connects to the computer's com port.

Telephone operating software must be version 01.03.02 or higher to enable the TAPI features. To view the
installed software version, select VERS, then S/W from the Administration Options menu (Setup → ADMIN→
VERS→ S/W). If your phone's software version is lower than 01.03.02, call Tone Commander at [phone] to
request an update.

Terminal Adapter Installation

Mounting the Base

1. Disconnect the line cord.

Power must be disconnected before installing the 6001TA.
Wait 10 seconds after disconnecting power before proceeding.

2. Remove the retaining screw in the center of the base.

3. Press the top of the tall edge of the base to disengage the snap tabs, then lift the base from the telephone

body. Do not touch the expansion connector.

4. Plug the cable from the terminal adapter base into the expansion connector on the telephone. The
polarization tab on the plug must fit into the opening on the side of the phone connector.

5. Snap the terminal adapter base onto the phone. The base may be rotated for wall mounting.

6. Replace the retaining screw (required for UL compliance).

Telephone – Computer Serial Connection

1. Plug the supplied serial cable (standard straight-through modem cable) into the connector on the telephone
base.
