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.
Tone Commander 8000 Series Analog Port TA User Guide 3
Page 8
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).
____________________________

Conferencing Calls
Press the Flash key on the analog phone to place the current call on
hold and originate a new call. Dial the second party. After the second
party answers, flash again to conference all parties together.
If the second party is busy, does not answer, or does not want to join
the conference, hang up. Your phone will ring, and you will be
reconnected to the first party when you answer.
To add another party to the conference, flash again. Dial another party
as above. The number of parties that can be in a conference is
determined by your ISDN line provisioning from your service provider
(typically 3 or 6).
______________________
Transferring Calls
Calls can be transferred by establishing a conference call, then
removing yourself from the conference.
After establishing a call, press the Flash key, and then dial the second
party. Any time after the second party begins to ring, you can flash to
conference all parties together, then hang up to remove yourself from
the conference. You can wait until the second party answers to
announce the call, or flash and hang up immediately for an unscreened
transfer.
The ISDN conference feature provisioned on your line must
support implicit transfer capability. Otherwise, the two remaining
parties will be disconnected when you hang up.
If the second party is busy or you want to abort the transfer, hang up
without flashing. Your phone will ring, and you will be reconnected to
the first party when you answer.

Using an Analog Modem or Fax
An analog modem or fax device may be connected to the POTS port.
For this application:
• If you have a dedicated call appearance (directory number) for
incoming modem or fax calls, set ringing control for the POTS
port to ALWAYS on that call appearance (page 8) for immediate
answer by the fax or modem device. Set all other call
appearances to NEVER.
• Set the ringing control for the ISDN phone to NEVER for the
fax/modem call appearance (

Set the fax/modem call appearance as the primary originating
POTS call appearance (page 11).
• Privacy must be set to ON (page 9).
• Disable POTS port call waiting (page 10).
SETUP → USER
____________
→ RING →
Using a Text Telephone (TTY)
A text telephone can be connected to the POTS port, allowing you to
answer text calls. After answering a call on the ISDN phone, you will
hear a TTY alert tone from the calling party. Go off-hook and dial # on
the text telephone to switch the call from the ISDN phone.
For TTY applications:
• If you have a dedicated call appearance (directory number) for
TTY calls, set ringing control for the POTS port to ALWAYS on
that call appearance (page 8) for immediate answer by text
telephone. Set all other call appearances to NEVER.
• If you do not have a dedicated TTY call appearance, and want
to answer calls on the ISDN phone, set ringing control for the
POTS port to NEVER or WAIT2-7 for all call appearances.
• Privacy must be set to OFF (page 9).
• Disable POTS port call waiting (page 10).
• You may want to create a phone directory entry on the text
telephone to simplify call switching. This entry should contain
only the # character.
