■
Specialty Handsets
are designed for those individuals who need greater
functionality than that provided by the handsets on system phones and
standard phones. For example, an amplified handset is available for al l
PARTNER phones for hard-of-hearing users.
■
In-Range Out-of-Building (IROB) protectors
are required to prevent
electrical surges from damaging your system when phones or other
standard devices (such as a doorphone) are installed in a locat ion other
than the building where the control unit is installed. The system sup ports
the Lucent Technologies IROB protector, which provides coverage for up to
3,000 feet (915 meters) for standard devices and 1,000 feet (305 meters)
for system phones. (IROBs must be installed by a qualified technician.)
■
Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE)
allows you to connect a standard
touch-tone phone beyond 3,000 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 capabi lity.
■
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filters
allow you to block “noise”
generated by a nearby radio station, as well as most electrical devic es.
■
Caller ID devices
allow you to store and process Caller ID information.
Although the system provides functionally integrated, multi-line Call er ID on
system display phones, you can connect other devices provided you
subscribe to the service from your local phone company and connec t the
device
directly to the Caller ID line.
You cannot install a Caller ID device
directly to a PARTNER extension jack or to a combination extension jack.
Refer to “Caller ID Devices” in the
PARTNER Advanced Communications
System Installation
guide for installation details.
■
PCMCIA cards
allow you to administer your system from your PC, either
remotely or locally (Release 3.0 or later).
NOTE:
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA
card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS
to Release 3.0.
