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.
