AT&T 4.1 Limitations for Standard Devices

-External Hotline Phone. A standard phone, rather than a system

phone, should be used as an external hotline phone. Do not

connect an external hotline phone to extension 10 or 16 to keep

them available for power failure use. You can connect an external

hotline phone to extension 15 provided Music On Hold is not

activated.

-Auxiliary Equipment. There are a variety of ways to set up fax

machines, modems, answering machines, and credit card scanners to

work with the system. See Chapter 4 for advice on setting up this

equipment. To connect a telephone and a standard device on the

same extension, see “Combination Extensions” later in this appendix.

■In-Range Out-of-Building (IROB) Protectors. Required to prevent

electrical surges from damaging your system when phones or other

standard devices (such as a doorphone) are installed in a location other

than the building where the system modules are installed. The system

supports the AT&T IROB protector, which provides coverage for up to

1,000 feet (305 meters) for system phones and 3,000 feet (915 meters) for

standard devices. (IROBS must be installed by a qualified technician.)

■Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE) allows you to connect a standard

touch-tone phone beyond 3000 feet (915 meters) in another building on

the same continuous property. It also allows you to use a special circuit

from your local phone company to provide off-premises station capability.

Limitations for Standard Devices

You can connect a standard device to your system, regardless of the

manufacturer. However, the following limitations apply:

It must be industry standard and non-proprietary. That is, it cannot be

■

made specifically for use on a particular telephone system. (For

example, you cannot connect an AT&T MERLIN® phone because it is

designed for use on a MERLIN system.)

■Its Ringer Equivalence Number (REN*) cannot be greater than 2.0. (The

REN is shown on a label on the device, usually on the bottom.)

In addition to industry-standard equipment, you can connect a variety of other

devices—see Chapter 1. Follow the instructions provided with the equipment

for installation and use.
