Connecting and Managing Analog Devices
An Analog Terminal Card (ATC) or an Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA)
allows ordinary analog (2500-series compliant) telephones, including
cordless telephones and Group-3 facsimile (fax) devices, to operate with
NBX systems.
Certain limitations apply because of the differences between an analog
device and the custom NBX Telephone:
■A user dials 500, then ** on a telephone connected to an ATA to gain
access to voice mail.
■A telephone can make or answer only one call. The second incoming
call goes to voice mail.
■ATC ports and ATAs support call transfer.
