Telephone Operation

NOTE: KP-12 and DKP-12 Only, Requires optional TIF Interface.

If the intercom system is equipped with an optional TIF telephone interface, one or more intercom keys on the KP-12 keypanel may be assigned for use as phone keys. There are three types of phone key assignments:

All-purpose phone key (usually identified as TEL1, TEL2, etc.): may be used for manual dialing, for last number redial, and for auto-dialing any of ten stored phone numbers.

Redial Key (RDL): redials the last number when activated.

Autodial Key (ADL0-ADL9): dials one of ten previously saved autodial numbers when activated.

The following paragraphs describe how to use each of these three types of phone keys.

All-Purpose Phone Key Operation

The following paragraphs assume that a phone key has already been set up and is ready for use. If a phone key has not been set up, see “Menus, KEY ASGN, PHONE (For KP-12,DKP-12 Only)” on page 33.

Names for general purpose phone keys are assigned, like any other intercom port name, using the intercom system configuration software. Suggested names are TEL1, TEL2, etc. to distinguish phone keys from other types of intercom keys.

Manual Dialing with an All-Purpose Phone Key

1.Tap the phone key to begin your call.

This will place the keypanel in dial mode: the CALL indicator will turn on, and MAN DIAL (manual dial) will display in the call waiting window. You should also hear the dial tone. (Note, you may hang up the phone line at this time by simply tapping the phone key again.)

2.Tap the SELECT control to select MAN DIAL.

The twelve intercom keys can now be used to dial a telephone number. Each key corresponds to the number printed next to it on the front panel. If the KP-12 has alphanumeric displays, the key numbers are displayed above each key.

3.Begin dialing the number by tapping the appropriate keys.

After you dial the first digit, END DIAL will appear in the call waiting window. When you have completed dialing, tap the SELECT control to select END DIAL. This will return the KP-12 to normal operating mode. If the called party answers, proceed with you conversation as for any other intercom call. To end the phone call, hang up as described below.
