Configuration Programming
Various network interface and operation parameters are programmable by the installer, allowing
compatibility with a wide variety of central offices and PABXs. The system is pre-programmed at the
factory; many installations will require few changes to these values. Programming is retained in the CPU's
memory when power is disconnected. When option switch #8 on the 30e CPU is OFF, programming is
retained in the 30e CPU's memory when power is disconnected.
The programmable parameters are described on the following pages in the order listed below. A parameter
or feature may be altered at any time without reprogramming the entire system.
The following features may be set from configuration programming mode by pressing the appropriate line
key. The letters are printed on the console front panel beneath the line keys. Key numbers in parentheses
correspond to line numbers on the punchdown blocks.

DSS/Autodial Number Programming
Each DSS key on the 120 console may be programmed to autodial up to 24 digits or functions, including
0-9,
, #, dial tone detect, ringback detect, busy override, a hookflash (transfer signal), and a pause. The
*
PICK UP key autodials the call pickup code; it must be also programmed with the required digits.
Digits are entered with the dial pad. The VOL keys are used to enter the pause and flash functions – these
functions are printed below the keys on the console front panel.
DIAL TONE delays dialing until steady dial tone is present. If the telephone system does not send
dial tone after receiving a flash, use two PAUSEs in place of DIAL TONE detect.
FLASH is used to transfer calls or access special features of the telephone system.
PAUSE is used if a delay is required during dialing, for example to access a voice mailbox.
Pause, flash, and detect times can be changed from the 30e configuration programming mode.
IMPORTANT – The first entry of a dialing routine for any key to be used for DSS operation must be a
FLASH (F). This entry will determine whether associated features with DSS operation will
apply (Station Recall, Line Release w/Supervision, Station Camp-On, etc.).
Example: FD4710
Dialing routines, where the first entry is not a FLASH, will operate as Autodialing keys.
Example: D9D5551982
Automatic Transfer Options
Two options are available to allow automatic transfer of calls to busy call-forwarded stations. These options
are enabled by adding an O (Busy Override) or R (Ringback Detect) suffix to the DSS dialing string of the
forwarded station.
Add the O suffix for:1) stations programmed for Call Forward-Busy, with a courtesy ring provided by the
central office or PABX
2) the lead number in a hunting group
This option automatically overrides the console's display of "BUSY" or "CMP" when transferring a
call to a busy station via DSS key. It can be invoked on a per-call basis for stations without the O
suffix by using the OVERRIDE key.
Add the R suffix for:1) stations that are not monitored by the 120 CPU, such as off-premise stations
2) stations programmed for Call Forward-All or Call Forward-Busy, with no courtesy
ring provided by the central office or PABX
3) voice mail access line that is not monitored by the 120 CPU
This option adds calling line ringback detection to the Line Release w/Supervision feature.
Press line key 20 for O, and line key 13 for R – the letters are printed beneath the keys.

Troubleshooting
Introduction
The Tone Commander 30e120 is capable of conducting self-testing routines at power-up and recording
various error conditions while it is operating. This built-in testing capability is invaluable in quickly isolating
the sources of intermittent failures, which are often difficult to trace without the use of expensive test
equipment.
Initialization Diagnostics
When power is applied to the 30e120, certain start-up routines are conducted to check operating integrity.
The receipt of three successive beep tones indicates that operating voltages are within prescribed
parameters, and the common audible circuitry is functional.
If these beep tones are not heard:
1. Check the power source.
2. Remove/replace the console and/or CPU.
Operating software and processor integrity are verified with the momentary showing of the following
displays:
[ 30e OK ]– 30e CPU
[ DATALINK LMx OK]– 120 CPU and datalink to 30e CPU
[CONSOLE 30e OK]– 30e Console
[CONSOLE LMx OK]– 120 Console
When the display clears, only the time, which defaults to 12:00, should be showing. Time setting
procedures should conducted at this point.
Line Monitor and Call Transfer Diagnostics
A diagnostic program built into the 30e will display the console number, status of connected 120 CPUs,
and the status of the last Release w/Supervision transfer for troubleshooting purposes.

System Description
Consoles
30e Answering Console
The 30e console houses a 20-character fluorescent display, line status indicators, line and call processing
keys, a common audible transducer, an electronic voice network, and a microcomputer to control their
operation. The factory-provided hearing aid compatible handset utilizes an electret (carbon clone) element.
Tone Commander consoles are designed to provide superior operating capabilities in any working
environment.
The vacuum fluorescent display on the 30e is adjustable, can be seen from almost any angle, and is
·
immune to overhead lighting glare. This allows displayed information to be viewed from greater
distances than with nonfluorescent versions.
Whenever possible, call processing routines are accomplished with single keystrokes.
·
Multiple indicators are used to improve status recognition.
·
Following is a description of the keys, indicators, and connectors on the 30e console:
· Display – 20 character alphanumeric display gives information about calls ringing at the console, and
is used during console programming. A time of day clock is displayed when the console is idle.
· Line Keys – when a line key is pressed, the console network is connected to the selected line. If a
second line key is pressed, the first line is automatically put on hold and the second line is accessed
(Auto Hold). Spare line keys may be used to activate night service or Quick Mode, park calls, override
call transfer to busy stations, or to access paging systems.
· Hold Lamps (H symbol) – indicate hold and hold recall states of the lines.
· Line Lamps (telephone symbol) – indicate busy and ringing states of the lines.
· HOLD Key – when the console is on an active line and the hold key is pressed, a hold bridge is
placed across the selected line and the console network is released from the connection.
·
TRANSFER Key – when the transfer key is pressed, a hookflash (momentary open loop) is
generated on the selected line. This allows the attendant to transfer calls or access special features
of the telephone system.
·
RELEASE Key – when the console is on a line and the release key is pressed, the console network
is released from the connection, the line becomes idle, and its lamp will turn off.
·
CONNECT Key* – allows an attendant to immediately release from a line after a DSS transfer, to
answer another one. System circuitry maintains the line until the called station rings, then
automatically releases.
·
ANSWER Key – automatically seizes a call appearing in the alphanumeric display.
·
RING DELAY Key – used to enter/exit ring delay check mode or ring delay programming mode.
·
PICK UP Key* – used to answer a ringing station not appearing in the alphanumeric display.
·
VOL Keys – adjust the console ringer volume.
·
Dial Pad – generates DTMF signaling on a selected line. Dial pad keys are also used to enter
console programming values.
* These keys are active only when used with the companion 120 console.

Tone Commander 30e120 Installation Instructions
120 Call Processing Console
The 120 console has 60 station keys, used for DSS (Direct Station Select) or optional autodialing of outside
line or special feature access numbers. An additional 60 stations are available via the SHIFT key on the
30e console. Busy lamps are provided for 120 monitored stations.
Attendant Console Cabling
Each 30e console requires (2) three-pair, #24 gauge twisted cables. The two cable runs should not exceed
500 feet each. One pair on the voice/data cable is analog voice. The two remaining pairs transmit
proprietary protocol at 1200 baud using the RS-422 standard. The second cable uses all three pairs to
provide power to the console. Power for consoles at attendant positions #3 and #4 is supplied by an
external PSE-3 power unit.
Central Processing Units (CPUs)
30e Central Processing Unit
The 30e Central Processing Unit (CPU) is a wall mounted device which houses the main circuit board,
optional line and console expansion circuit boards, and power supply.
1. Main Circuit Board – this unit contains the power supply, microprocessor-based control logic, dial tone
detect circuits, data and voice links for two consoles, remote power control circuits for two consoles,
four DTMF dialer circuits, and a Music On Hold input circuit. System memory is retained during power
failure..
2. Line Expansion Circuit Board – this board contains 10 line circuits. Two of these boards are supplied
with the CPU, and one can be added to increase system capacity to 30 lines.
3. Station Expansion Circuit Board – this board allows two additional consoles to be added to the system.
Included are dial tone detect circuits, two console voice link circuits, two console data link circuits, and
four DTMF dialer circuits.
External connections to the 30e CPU are made by using 50-pin Amphenol connectors. Music On Hold may
be optionally connected to an RCA-type audio jack on the CPU. Modular console jacks on the main circuit
board are provided for testing and programming.
120 Central Processing Unit
The 120 Central Processing Unit (CPU) is a wall mounted device which houses the main circuit board,
station monitor circuit boards, and power supply.
1. Main Circuit Board – this unit contains the power supply, microprocessor-based control logic, power
outputs for two consoles, RS-232 port, 30 station monitor circuits, and a data link to the 30e CPU.
2. Station Monitor Circuit Boards (3) – these boards contain 30 station monitor circuits each.
External connections to the 120 CPU are made by using 50-pin Amphenol connectors. Modular console
power jacks on the main circuit board are provided for testing and programming.

System Features
Line and Console Expandability
The basic 30e CPU is equipped for 20 lines and two consoles. Line and/or console expansion cards can be
installed to increase system capacity to 30 lines and four consoles.
The 120 CPU can monitor 120 stations. A second 120 CPU, with an additional 120 console at each
position, allows monitoring of 240 stations.
Four Console Capability
The 30e CPU can support two console positions; however, with the insertion of the optional CEC-2 console
expansion card, two additional console positions will be supported. In addition, the appropriate number of
PSE-3 power supply expanders will be required. Line and station appearances are identical at each
console position (square configuration). Holding status is indicated at all console positions. Special line key
options such as paging access, night service, etc., appear at all console positions when programmed.
Certain operating features such as Queue Priority, Ringing Type, Line Privacy, and Answer Use may be
programmed on a per console basis.
Skinny Wire Console Connection
Two three-pair cables are required between each 30e console and the equipment room. One three-pair
cable is required for the 120 console.
The 30e console uses three pairs for data and voice and three pairs for power. Three 6-conductor modular
jacks are located at the rear of the console; one for voice/data, one for data out to the 120 console, and
one for power.
All three pairs from the equipment room to the 120 console are used to supply power. A short modular line
cord provides the data connection from the 120 console to the 30e console, or to the first 120 console in a
240-station system.
Installer/User Programmability
Both installer and user can program the system from the consoles. The installer programs system
configuration options, line programmable features, and special feature key assignments. The user can
program customized features such as ring delays, Direct Station Selection (DSS) dialing, autodialing
numbers, line/station name identification, Hold Recall Time, Queue Priority, etc.
Ringing Queue
Calls to be answered by a console are placed in queue. The nature of the queue (i.e., station calls only,
stations before lines, lines before station, or first in-first out "FIFO") is selectable on a per console basis.
Distinctive Ringing Detection
Used in conjunction with the Distinctive Ringing capability provided by the telco central office or PABX,
unanswered station calls can be displayed alphanumerically or ignored, depending on the type of ringing.
System Traffic Metering
Certain traffic statistics, involving all lines (appearing on the 30e console) and the activity at all console
positions, may be read and reset by a system administrator from any console position.

Tone Commander 30e120 Installation Instructions
Paging Interface
The Tone Commander PA-24 Paging/Chime Module or an equivalent external, battery-feed paging adapter
can be connected to any line key programmed as a Page key. When this is done, the selected line position
will be conditioned to operate with either 48 VDC or 24 VDC battery feed circuits, the latter being typical of
most paging adapters. The PA-24 can be powered directly from the 30e CPU.
Night Service Interface
The system includes switched contacts to activate either an external ringing circuit (night bell) or a control
pair to the central office (night transfer).
The night bell will begin ringing after the shortest ring delay set at either console for the ringing line or
station. In place of a standard bell, the PA-24 Paging/Chime Module can be used to produce a chime tone
over the paging system.
Typical applications of night transfer are Fixed Night Service or Stop Hunt. The night transfer option utilizes
the normally closed relay contacts, causing this feature to be activated in the event of a power failure at the
30e CPU.
Music On Hold Interface
Lines can provide background music while in a holding state. Access is via block terminals or phono jack.
An input gain control is provided to adjust Music On Hold to the desired level.
Console Test Jacks
Six pin modular jacks for voice/data are provided on the 30e CPU for four console positions. Power jacks
for two positions are provided on both the 30e and 120 CPUs. These jacks are intended to provide a quick
means to verify console-to-CPU operating integrity.
Console Features
Distinctive Audible Signaling
The system recognizes normal or distinctive ringing from the serving central office/PABX and responds with
differentiated audible signaling. The 30e console also signals the attendant when held lines are recalling,
calls to stations have gone unanswered for a predetermined period of time, confirming programming
entries/storage, or when errors have been made involving operation or programming. Incoming call audible
signaling is abbreviated whenever the attendant is active on a line.
Ring Delay
Each line and station appearing on a console can be individually programmed to ring at the consoles
immediately, after a predetermined number of ringing cycles, or never ring at the consoles. The Ring Delay
feature does not affect ringing at the station.
Alphanumeric Display
Calls to be answered are displayed on the 30e console with a three character prefix which indicates the
nature of the call (i.e., INC, RCL, HLD, CMP, etc.), followed by the line or station number, then the number
of calls in queue. Line or station numbers can be replaced with 14 character names as desired. The display
is also used to view programming options and confirm all entries. A scrolling HELP display is available
while in the configuration programming mode.

Tone Commander 30e120 Installation Instructions
Single-key Answering
Calls to lines or stations that are to be answered by the attendant are alphanumerically displayed according
to the selected ringing queue. Depressing the Answer key seizes the call displayed.
Dial Pad DTMF Dialing
The 30e console is equipped with a standard 12 button dial pad. The various tones will persist as long as
the desired key is pressed if fast dialing speed (10 digits/sec.) has been selected during configuration
programming. If slow speed (6 digits/sec.) has been selected, digits are buffered and sent with a tone on
period of 80 ms, and 80ms between digits to guarantee minimum tone periods for slow central offices.
Console Traffic Metering
Certain traffic statistics involving a particular console position may be read from that position.
Time of Day
The alphanumeric display shows the time of day whenever the console is idle.
Variable Ringer Volume
VOL6and VOL5keys are provided on the face of the 30e console to adjust the level of the audible ringer
in accordance with the operating environment. A bar graph display is provided for referencing.
Handset Jack Connection
A four pin modular jack is located on the left side of the 30e console.
Handset
A K-type, hearing aid compatible handset with electret transmitter is provided with the 30e console.
Direct Line Access
Each line is accessible via a dedicated key for answering, holding, transferring and originating calls.
I-Use Indication
A fluttering line status lamp identifies the particular line to which the handset or headset is connected.
Line Privacy
Individual lines may be programmed to exclude third party access to ongoing calls by the attendant.
Line Hold
Each line can be placed in a "Hard Hold" condition at the console. Music on Hold, if optioned and a source
provided, is connected to the line. A line on "Hard Hold" can be released from the console when bridged by
either a telephone set or another console. A valid loop interruption from the central office will also release
the line.
Line Hold Indication
A flashing Line Hold lamp H indicates a line placed on hold by the attendant. A steady H indication
identifies a line placed on hold at a companion console.
Page 7013-102499 Rev. G
Page 71
Tone Commander 30e120 Installation Instructions
Automatic Line Hold
Active lines may automatically be placed on "Hard Hold" by either depressing another line key or the
Answer key while a call is being displayed.
Hold Recall
A call placed on Hold for longer than a predetermined time period is identified with a unique audible ringing.
The H indication for the affected line is also unique.
Line Transfer
Calls originating or answered at the console can be placed in a "Soft Hold" or Consultation Hold condition
at the serving Centrex Central Office/PABX by "hookflashing" (pressing the transfer key), then dialing the
desired station number.
Manual Call Transfer
Calls transferred to stations using Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys on the 120 console are managed by
the console system until answered by the called party or recalled to the console after a predetermined
period. Depressing the desired DSS key, then the Connect key, allows the attendant to process subsequent
calls, even if previous calls have not yet rung at their stations. There is no need to wait until all transfer
station digits have been dialed and ring back tone received.
Override Key (optional)
This key will override the console's display of "BUSY" or "CMP" when transferring a call to a busy station
via DSS key. The station busy condition can be ignored for call-forwarded stations by using the Override
key on a per-call basis, or via DSS programming options. A spare line key is used to provide this feature.
Park Key (optional)
Calls for a party who is not at their desk can be "parked" by pressing the Park key. A parked call is on hold,
and can be retrieved from any station by dialing the Directed Call Pickup - Barge In access code followed
by the appropriate line number. Unretrieved parked calls will recall the console after a predetermined delay.
A spare line key is used to provide this feature.
The central office must support Disconnect Supervision for barged-in calls – refer to the Telco/PABX
Requirements section. The park feature is available only for stations that have key appearances on the 120
console.
Page Key (optional)
Any line key on the 30e console can be programmed to be a Page key. The selected key position is
automatically assigned line privacy, answer use exclusion, and automatic line hold exclusion.
Pressing the Page key places the currently selected line on hold and connects the attendant to the paging
system.
Night Key (optional)
Any line key on the 30e console can be programmed to be the Night key. The selected key, when
depressed, will activate/deactivate night service operation. Steady illumination of the associated line lamp
indicates that night service mode is active.
13-102499 Rev. GPage 71
Page 72
Tone Commander 30e120 Installation Instructions
Quick Mode Key (optional)
The first unanswered station in call queue is automatically pre-answered after the appropriate ring/recall
delay, placed on hold, then displayed for immediate answer. This feature is activated by any spare line key
that is programmed as a Quick Mode (quick answer mode) key. The Quick Mode feature is available only
for stations that are monitored by the console, and is not recommended for installations with more than one
console.
NOTE – It is highly recommended that lines appearing at the console be configured for disconnect
supervision at the serving central office. When this is done calls that are "pre-answered" will be
automatically released whenever the calling party abandons the call.
Autodialing
Any spare DSS key on the 120 console can be used for autodialing while on an active line.
Busy Lamp Field (BLF)
Each station connected to the 120 CPU has a dedicated lamp that indicates its status (i.e. idle, off-hook, or
ringing).
Direct Station Selection (DSS)
DSS keys on the 120 console provide quick and efficient transfer of all calls. Station positions 61 through
120 (and 181-240 on systems with two 120 consoles per position) must be preceded with the depression of
the Shift key on the 30e console. Each key position must be programmed with the appropriate dialing
instructions - typically a Flash, Dial Tone Detect, then the station digits. The DSS feature is available only
for stations that are monitored by the 1030/1560.
Call Screening
Calls requiring attendant intervention are accommodated by depressing the desired DSS key twice. When
this is done, a SCN prefix followed by the name or number of the station is displayed until the call is
released.
Camp-on
Calls transferred by a DSS key to stations that are busy are automatically placed on hold, then transferred
as soon as the station user hangs up. If the station user does not hang up within a predetermined period,
the call rerings and is displayed for further processing. It is highly recommended that a music source be
provided, and affected lines be optioned for Music On Hold. The Camp-on feature is available only for
stations that are monitored by the console.
Station Recalls
Calls transferred by a DSS key to idle stations which go unanswered for a predetermined period, re-ring
and are displayed at the console.
Station Call Pickup
Unanswered calls that are indicated in the busy lamp field but not in the alphanumeric display can be
answered at any time by depressing the Pickup key, then the desired DSS key.

Page 73
Tone Commander 30e120 Installation Instructions
Telco/PABX Requirements
Certain signaling protocols and features of the telco/PABX host are required for proper operation.
Required System Configuration
The C.O. and station lines must originate from either the same Centrex Common Block or the same PABX
tenant partition.
Required Signaling Protocols
1. -42.5 to -56.5 VDC C.O. battery
2. 40 to 130 Vrms @ 20 or 30 Hz Ring Generator
3. Loop start
4. Disconnect Supervision for Abandoned Calls
The central office opens Tip and Ring (removes the source of DC voltage) for a brief interval whenever
the calling party disconnects prior to the called party. This protocol is required to support automatic hold
release and Quick Mode.
5. Disconnect Supervision for Barged-in Calls
The central office opens Tip and Ring for a brief interval whenever a call is barged in. This protocol is
required if the call park feature is used.
Required Attendant Line Features
1. Touch Tone Dialing – all manual or auto dialing from the 30e120 consoles is DTMF.
2. Station Call Transfer – to use the Transfer key or the programmable FLASH command while
autodialing to transfer incoming calls. Typically, inbound calls are transferred by "hookflashing",
receiving new dial tone, then dialing the desired station. In most instances call transferring is limited to
stations within the same PABX or Centrex Common Block.
CAUTION – In some host systems, hookflashing automatically transfers inbound calls to a proprietary
attendant position. This feature is often referred to as Call Transfer-Attendant and is not
compatible with Tone Commander console operation.
3. Directed Call Pickup, NonBarge-In – to retrieve unanswered station calls showing in the alphanumeric
display.
Optional Line Features
1. Dedicated nonhunting attendant lines – used to retrieve unanswered station calls. It is recommended
that (1) nonhunting line per 10 attendant lines per console be provided for this purpose. This will allow
dedicated access, unaffected by inbound traffic, and prevent call collisions (glare). Refer to the Answer
Use line feature described on page 54.
2. Directed Call Pickup-NonBarge-In – to retrieve unanswered station calls showing in the alphanumeric
display.
13-102499 Rev. GPage 73
Page 74
Tone Commander 30e120 Installation Instructions
Required Station Feature
Call Pickup – all station lines monitored by the 30e120 must be assigned to a Call Pickup Group.
IMPORTANT – Call Forward - No Answer is not recommended because it conflicts with, and may defeat,
the operation of the 30e120 Ring Delay and Name Display features.
Optional Station/Line Features
Additional features may be optioned as required.
IMPORTANT – Whenever the Call Waiting feature is invoked on a busy station, such a call will not recall to
the 30e console. Ring Delay and Recall Ring parameters do not apply because the station
in question is in a busy rather than a ringing state.
Compatibility with Other Products
Music On Hold
The Music On Hold input on the 30e CPU is compatible with telco feed, low impedance, balanced
subscriber background music services such as Muzak. Always terminate such a line with a resistor equal to
the characteristic impedance of the line, usually 600 ohms. AM/FM tuner and tape player outputs are
typically unbalanced high impedance music sources which require shielded cable. Characteristic
impedances vary from 600 to 50K ohms.
Night Service
The Night Service contacts are compatible with most source voltages and annunciator loads. Please refer
to the Specifications
options.
Tone Commander's PA-24 Paging/Chime Module can announce night ringing over a paging system, in
addition to providing voice paging access from the 30e console.
section for contact ratings. Consult the System Features section for programmed
Paging Access
The 30e120 is compatible with any paging system that provides a Tip/Ring talk battery feed circuit. Such
circuits can be cross connected to any spare line position on the console.
Tone Commander's PA-24 Paging/Chime Module interfaces any paging amplifier to the 30e, and derives
power from the 30e CPU.
Voice Mail
Most on-premise voice mail systems are compatible with the 30e120 system. Voice mail is usually
accessed from a spare DSS key on the 120 console.

Maintenance
After initial installation, the 30e and 120 require little or no maintenance, as long as adherence to the
criteria discussed in the Site Preparation
suggested:
DON'T allow stored items to accumulate around the CPU, and therefore cut off adequate ventilation.
DON'T store toxic or fume producing janitorial supplies or chemicals in the near vicinity of the CPU.
DON'T plug any other electrical products into the same circuit as the CPU, even temporarily.
DON'T allow storage items or tools to come in contact with the CPU or punchdown blocks. In case of the
latter, plastic block covers are highly recommended.
DON'T spray cleaners or solvents directly on to the 30e or 120 console. Use only a very dilute soap/water
solution applied to damp rag.
DON'T use adhesive-backed labels on the face of the console. Such labels may impede button travel.
Migrating adhesives could also cause permanent damage.
DOuse the provided nonadhesive key designations.
section is maintained. In this effort the following guidelines are
DOconduct periodic inspections to check the above mentioned items.
DOprovide for ready access.
Operational Checkout
It is a suggested operating practice for an attendant to periodically check all active lines on the 30e for the
ability to receive and "break" dial tone.
Recommended Spare Parts
On those occasions where components need to be replaced either due to troubleshooting procedure or
obvious failure (i.e., smoke, inactivity, etc.), the stocking of spare parts is highly recommended.
In most cases one (1) 30e console, (1) 120 console, one (1) 30e CPU, one (1) 120 CPU, and one (1)
LEC-10 line card will provide adequate backup.
In those cases where a customer demands full backup capability or has to maintain many systems, two (2)
30e consoles, two (2) 120 consoles, two (2) 30e CPUs, two (2) 120 CPUs, one (1) LEC-10 line card, one
(1) CEC-2 console card*, and one (1) PSE-3 power supply* are recommended. In this case, full coverage is
maintained even when spares are in for repair.
* Only required if supporting systems with more than three consoles.
