ATX-250 Operations
Your ATX-250 will route incoming calls to the proper equipment and prevent other devices from interfering with the ongoing communication.

Outbound Calls: Your ATX-250 will only allow one device port to access the telephone line at a time. For example, if you are sending or receiving a FAX, your telephones and extensions will be unable to interrupt the communication. If you pick up your phone or FAX and hear a busy signal, then another device is already using the line.

Incoming Calls: Incoming calls can be routed to your communications equipment in several ways:

Calls may be automatically transferred to your FAX machine if the caller is a FAX that produces a FAX identification tone.
Calls may be manually transferred by dialing touch tones from either end of the line or with pulse-dialing telephone equipment attached directly to your versa- Link ATX-250. Tones may be entered by the calling party any time after the first ring.
Calls can be transferred to your MODEM if the caller is an auto-dial MODEM that dials the proper device selection code.
All calls may be automatically transferred to DEVICE 2 after hours if CALL OPTI-MIZER is activated.
