Introduction

The following descriptions define important terms used in this manual.

The SPIRIT® Communications System ConnecT/R provides you with the ability to add telephone devices to your SPIRIT System. It connects to the controller.

The controller is the central processor through which all SPIRIT calls in your company are processed.

The SPIRIT Telephone (with the AT&T SPIRIT logo on it) is specialized to work within the SPIRIT Communications System. You do not need a SPIRIT Telephone at- tached to the ConnecT/R.

The telephone device is a modem, answer- ing machine, standard telephone, etc., you can add to the SPIRIT System via the ConnecT/R. You can add up to two tele- phone devices to a single ConnecT/R, and use them to place and receive calls. Interac- tions with specific SPIRIT System features are described later in this book.

Figure 1. SPIRIT ConnecT/R

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, mo- dems, or standard telephones via the "line auxiliary jack" on the controller, that jack re- stricts 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.
