Introduction

The 8000 Series Analog Port Terminal Adapters add one POTS (Plain
Old Telephone Service) port to a Tone Commander 8610, 8620, or
8810 ISDN telephone, for standard telephones, fax machines, or

analog modems. Adapter circuitry is housed in a module that replaces

the expansion cover on the bottom of the telephone.

POTS port features include independent ring delay settings, call waiting
tone and caller ID display support, a privacy option to prevent line
access from the ISDN telephone when busy, call transfer and
conference, and originating call appearance selection.

Three models are available. The 8002TA is a basic analog port model.
In addition to the analog port, a TAPI port is provided on the 8003TA
(RS-232) and 8005TA (USB) that allows the ISDN telephone to be
controlled by a TAPI-compliant Windows computer application
program. To use the TAPI features, the Tone Commander Windows
TSPI driver, and a USB driver (8005TA only) must be installed on the
PC. You will also need a TAPI-compliant Windows application program.

The Windows TSPI driver, USB driver, and several TAPI utility
programs can be downloaded from www.tonecommander.com.

Typical Applications

Cordless handset or headset – calls can be originated or answered

from a cordless phone or cordless headset phone. Call transfer and
conference features are provided. On-hook and off-hook (call waiting)
caller ID displays are supported, as well as call waiting tones.

_____________________

Conference Room Speakerphone – use high-performance analog

conference room equipment, such as a Polycom SoundStation
your ISDN line. Calls can be dialed or answered on either the ISDN
phone or the conference room speakerphone and easily switched
between devices.

Analog Modem – data rates up to 56Kbps for outgoing calls may be
supported, depending on your modem and the connecting party. Call
waiting tones may be disabled to ensure data integrity.

Fax – your fax machine can answer and originate calls on your primary
directory number, or any other number provisioned on your ISDN line.
Privacy options are provided to ensure reliable fax transmission.

Answering Machine – your answering machine can answer calls to
any number provisioned on your ISDN line. Separate ring delays may
be programmed on the analog port to allow calls to be answered on the
ISDN phone before the answering machine picks up.

TTY – the analog port provides a standard non-acoustical connection
point for TTY (teletypewriter) devices that meets the accessibility
requirements of Section 508 for communication disabled users.

You cannot place a modem or fax call and a voice call at the same
time (only one active call is allowed).

Operation

Placing a Call

Go off-hook on the analog phone, wait for dial tone, and then dial the
called number. The originating call appearance indicator on the ISDN
phone will light amber while that line is in use by the POTS port.

The call appearance selected for originating POTS calls (see page 11)
is used if idle. If this call appearance is in use, another primary
originating call appearance will be used if available.

Only one call can be active at a time. Additional calls cannot be placed
on the POTS port if the ISDN phone is on an active call. When the
POTS port is busy, no additional calls can be placed from the ISDN
phone; the display will show “ANALOG PORT IN USE” if you attempt to
place a call from the ISDN phone (Privacy=ON) or switch to another
voice path (Privacy=OFF).

Answering a Call

Call appearances will ring at the POTS port after the selected ring
delay (see page 8), unless the ring delay is set to NEVER. Go off-hook
on the analog phone to answer the call. The originating call
appearance indicator on the ISDN phone will light amber, and no calls
can be placed from the ISDN phone while the POTS port remains in
use.

___________________________

________________________

The ISDN phone has ring delay settings independent from the POTS
port. Calls may ring at the ISDN phone before ringing at the POTS port
if the POTS port has a longer ring delay.

If multiple calls are ringing, the first call appearance to ring at the POTS
port is answered when going off-hook on the analog phone.

Switching a Call Between the POTS Port and
Speakerphone or Handset

Use the ISDN phone SPKR key, HEADSET key (8810 only), or
hookswitch to switch a call from the analog phone to the ISDN
speakerphone or handset. The call will be disconnected from the POTS
port.

To switch the call back to the analog phone, press the # key on the
analog phone. You will not hear dial tone, and the # tone will not be
sent out over the ISDN line. You can continue to switch the call
between the phones regardless of where the call was answered.

This feature is disabled if Privacy is set to ON (see page 9).

________________

Call Waiting

Most telephones have a Flash key that sends a timed hookflash.
This key is used during call swapping, conferencing, and
transferring. If your analog phone does not have a Flash key, you
can send a flash by quickly pressing and releasing the hookswitch.

When the POTS port is in use and another call rings, a call waiting tone
and/or a caller ID display may be sent to the analog phone. Press the
Flash key on the analog phone to place the current call on hold and
answer the incoming call. Swap between the calls by flashing.

Call waiting may be set for caller ID, call waiting tone only, or disabled
(see page 10).
