General Purpose Adapter

A General Purpose Adapter (GPA) lets you connect a T/R device—such as a single-line telephone or modem—to an analog multiline telephone. The device must be touch-tone, not rotary.

NOTE:

The GPA is intended for answer-only service, unless the telephone has direct access to a line. It does not have touch-tone receivers or pulse dial detectors; therefore, the associated analog multiline telephone must dial calls.

The GPA cannot be used with a MERLIN II System Display Console.

When the system forms indicate a GPA for installation of an adjunct, follow the steps below.

! Plug one end of a 4-pair adjunct D8AC cord into the VT jack on the back of the GPA.

! Plug the other end into the OTHER jack on the underside of the analog multiline telephone.

! Plug the cord from the adjunct into the TEL EQUIP jack on the GPA.
