Konexx Office Konnector manual Overview, Switch settings

This chapter describes the purpose of the Telephone Level switch and how to set it for optimal operation.

Overview

The front of your KONEXX Office Konnector has a Telephone Level switch (see Figure 3-1). This switch lets you set the signal level from your modem or fax to the telephone.

The Telephone Level switch can be set in any of four settings. The setting you use depends on the signal level used by the telephone to which your KONEXX Office Konnector is connected.

Setting 2 is the highest level. Use this setting if you connect your KONEXX Office Konnector to a telephone that has a carbon microphone. Older residential telephones and some hotel telephones use carbon microphones.

Setting 4 is the lowest level. Setting 3 is the most common position; it is used for electronic telephones.

If you set the Telephone Level switch too high, you will hear feedback such as a buzz or loud squeal through the modem speaker when your modem is off-hook. If you hear feedback, set the Telephone Level switch to the next lower setting - using the sequence 2, 3, 1, 4 - until the feedback disappears.

For example, if the Telephone Level switch is set to 2 and you hear feedback, set it to 3. If you still hear feedback, set it to 1. If feedback continues, set it to 4.

Switch settings

Table 3-1 shows the Telephone Level switch settings to use for various telephone models. If the telephone you want to use does not appear in Table 3-1, set the level as described in the previous section. If feedback occurs for all four levels, please contact Technical Support.

A “Yes” in the “Auto-dial” column indicates that autodialing is supported with that telephone model. The number in the “SEE NOTE” column refers to a note at the end of the table.
