Installing Telephones and Adjuncts

Automatic. This setting is used in one of two ways:

with a device, such as an answering machine or a modem, to answer calls. An Auto Answer+All button is needed so that calls can be answered automatically.

to make and receive calls on the telephone while using a computer or modem that is attached to the GPA. This is called simultaneous voice and data.

Answering Machines

Connect the answering machine to one of the following, as described earlier in this section:

single-line telephone

MLX telephone with an MFM

GPA and analog multiline telephone

If the telephone is not built in to the answering machine, connect a 267A2 bridging adapter to the telephone using any industry-standard device that recognizes a 600-ms disconnect signal.

Answering devices that disconnect automatically, such as voice-reset disconnect timers and fixed recording timers, are also supported.

Cordless Telephones

Connect the cordless telephone to one of the following, as described earlier in this section:

012 module

MLX telephone with an MFM

When connected through an MFM port, the cordless telephone places and receives calls independently of the MLX telephone.

Using a GPA with an analog multiline telephone is not recommended; the cordless telephone cannot dial out through the GPA.
