Analog Adapter

44-Series phones only

CPC-AII/B Version 8.0, CPC-S/M Version 2.0, or CPC-EX Version 1.0 only

Description The Analog Adapter (VB-44100) consists of a base adapter and PC board which is installed on the underside of the phone. It is used to connect the 44-Series large-display phone to an analog device such as an SLT telephone, cordless phone, FAX machine, or modem. This allows the same phone line to be used to alternate between normal phone calls and analog communications. (To install, see the instructions supplied with VB-44100).

Operation

Notes

The first device to go off-hook will seize the line (off-hook is either lifting the handset or pressing the ON/OFF key). If the analog device goes off- hook first, the large-display phone will be unable to dial or go off-hook.

You can choose which device will ring by going off-hook at either the digital key telephone or the analog device and dialing *71. The digital key telephone display will reflect “Analog port RING” or “Key Tel RING”, depending on which device is selected - the default is “Key Tel RING”.

You can still answer an incoming call from either device, regardless of which device is ringing. For example, if the analog device is ringing, you can pick up the call on the digital key telephone by going off-hook before the analog device does. Similarly, if the digital key telephone is ringing or has not answered a voice call, the analog device can pick up the call by going off-hook first.

You can program the *71 ring select command into an FF key. Pressing the key toggles between “Analog Port RING” and “Key Tel RING”. When the analog port is set to ring, the FF key LED lights red. When the key telephone is set to ring, the LED is off.
