PhoneLink 500 System Intercom
Operation:
A visitor desiring access will push the call button on the outside control station,
causing a special ring signal to be sent to the inside phone. Picking up the
phone before 10 rings are completed will establish
intercom
mode between the
house and the control station. The control station will respond with a
GOOD
BEEP
. At this point pressing ** or *1 on the phone will activate RELAY A to open
the gate. Hanging up the phone terminates intercom mode. If the house phone is
already ringing because of a call from the Phone Company when the call button
is pressed a busy signal is sent to the control station speaker.
Note: To program the PhoneLink from your telephone keypad see “Calling
a Gate” below.
Call Waiting:
If the phone is already in use when the call button is pressed, a tone (similar to
the Phone Company “call waiting tone”) will be heard, indicating the control
station is calling. To place the Phone Company line on hold press the “
#
” key
within 15 seconds of the first tone. The control station will respond with a
GOOD
BEEP
and establish intercom mode between the house and the control station.
The “
#
” key can be used to switch back and forth between the Phone Company
and intercom mode. However, the control station will only stay on hold for 15
seconds before it resets to idle mode.
If the Phone Company tries to ring the house while the system is in intercom
mode, the same call waiting tone will be heard. To switch to the incoming call
press the “
#
” key.
Calling an Outside Station:
A PhoneLink outside call station can be accessed from a house phone by lifting
its receiver and pressing # 9. The unit will respond with 3 beeps when connected.
(NOTE: after fifteen seconds with no key presses the outside station will not
respond and the call must be re-initiated).After the beeps, gate commands can
be issued and keypad programming functions can be implemented from the
telephone's keypad.
