Installing Adjuncts
!Slide the switch on the back of the GPA to the setting that provides
the required service.
■ Basic. This setting is used to dial and answer calls from an analog
multiline telephone or to attach a T/R adjunct such as a single-line
telephone or answering machine. Incoming calls ring only on the analog
multiline telephone. This setting also allows the user to originate and
receive calls on the telephone while using a computer with a modem
attached to the GPA. However, if this setting is used, data calls cannot be
answered automatically.
■ Join. This setting is used to add a recording device or a single-line
telephone to a call that is in progress on the telephone. You cannot
originate or answer calls on this setting.
■ Automatic. Use this setting when a GPA connects a modem to an
analog multiline telephone for answering calls or answering machine.
Dial Dictation Devices
You can connect a dial dictation device to one of the following, as
described earlier in this chapter:
■ 012 module
■ 016 (T/R) module
■ MLX telephone with an MFM
■ GPA and analog multiline telephone
You can also connect a dial dictation device through a commercially
available trunk adapter or a Universal Paging Access Module (UPAM)
on a loop-start line/trunk jack with an external power supply unit.
NOTE:
Using any of the devices listed above, you cannot connect dial dictation
devices that require contact closure. You
can,
however
,
connect such
equipment through a UPAM, since it provides contact closure for the
device.
