6 6 Chapter 1 General Congratulations on your purchase of AA9604, the new generation automated attendant based on the advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology. You have acquired a very powerful tool that provides automatic answering of incoming calls, choices of commercial information to the caller, and connection to extensions based on the caller s choices. AA9604 transfers calls even when no receptionist is on duty. It will not only help you to avoid human mistakes, but also takes of all incoming calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a weeks. AA9604 provides different greetings for different times of the day, such as Day, Night, Noon Break and Holidays greetings. You could also customize your own greetings for employees or customers. The user-friendly setting will also transfer calls right to the person to be reached quickly without the need of the operator. When busy or ring no answer, the system can also provide helpful assistance to the callers. AA9604 is your best operators to greet customers. This manual contains detailed information about hardware installation, system setup and message recording. It will guide you through all the functions step by step. Attached is a list of quick reference for all functions of the system. We plan this on the point of your view to make the setup more efficient.

8 8 Chapter 2 Installation 2-1 Installation Procedures This chapter tells you how to install AA9604 Auto Attendant. To make the install process easier and more efficient, we recommend reading the entire chapter from start to end, following all the steps. 1. Plug the factory-supplied 110V~220V/12V power adapter into power jack on the rear panel of the system, and the 2-prong of the adapter into a power outlet. (As shown in Figure 2-1) The power indicator on the front panel will be lit. 2. Plug one ends of the two factory-supplied telephone lines to the RJ-11 jack labeled LINE1, LINE2, LINE3 and LINE4 on the rear panel, and the other ends of the telephone lines to the appointed extensions of the PBX. (As shown in Figure 2-1) 3. (Optional) The system provides an external DC 12V battery connector. As shown in Figure 2-1, connect one end of battery DC 12 volts wires to the DC12V socket, and the other end to a battery. Please beware of the current polarity (positive inside, negative outside) when connecting the battery. When power failure occurs, the battery should supply the power automatically, to maintain the operation of the system. 4. Make sure the SECURITY/NORMAL switch on the front panel is in upper position (NORMAL mode) before program the system. You will not be able to enter the programming mode if the switch is in SECURITY mode. Figure 1: The System Installation Layout 2-2 Precaution AA9604 is capable of linking to all kinds of PBX. Please read the following before you start.
9 Chapter 2 Installation 9 The PBX should be able to transfer the ringing tones from the central office line to appointed extensions. As shown in Figure 2-1, LINE1, LINE2, LINE3 and LINE4 should be the appointed extensions of your PBX. The PBX should support standard 2-wired analog telephone lines, which transmit DTMF signals. The appointed extension connected to the system should be able to handle either hunt group or spread ringing. If all ports are busy, the PBX should transfer the call to the operator or a human attendant. The system should not be exposed to direct sunlight, nor placed in a high tempered area. 2-3 Front Panel Figure 2: Front Panel (1) POWER (red): Power indicator. The indicator is on when the adapter is plugged into the DC 12V power socket on the rear panel of the system. (2) DAY / NIGHT (green): Day/night mode indicator. When the light is on, it indicates the system is currently in day mode (business hours), and the Day Greeting will be played for all incoming calls. When the light is off, it indicates the system is currently in night mode (non-business hours), and the Night Greeting will be played for all incoming calls. (3) NOON (green): Noon mode indicator. When the light is on, it indicates the system is currently in noon mode, and the Noon Greeting will be played for all incoming calls. (4) LINE1, LINE2, LINE3, LINE4 (red): Line engaged indicator. When the light is on, it indicates the line is currently engaged, and the system is answering the incoming call. (5) MODES: DAY/ NIGHT/ NOON mode switch. Each press on this switch will rotate to the next mode, in a DAY-NIGHT-NOON order. (6) MANUAL / AUTO: This switch selects manual or automatic switching for DAY/ NIGHT/ NOON modes. Upper position represents AUTO, and the
10 10 Chapter 2 Installation system switches among the DAY/ NIGHT/ NOON modes automatically according to the time schedule. Lower position represents MANUAL, and the DAY/ NIGHT/ NOON modes can be selected manually with the MODES switch as describe above. (7) SECURITY / NORMAL: System security switch. Upper position represents NORMAL, and the system allows one to enter the programming mode with a password. Lower position represents SECURITY, and the system does not allowed any one to enter the programming mode even if the person has the password. This is often used to prevent the caller from entering programming mode. (8) ON/DISABLE: The upper position represents ON, which means the system is running normally. The lower position represents DISABLE, which disables the system, and puts all LINE1, LINE2, LINE3 and LINE4 in off-hook status. 2-4 Rear Panel Figure 3: Rear Panel (1) BATTERY DC 12V (optional accessory): Battery Connector for connection to an external DC12V battery. When a power failure occurs, the battery should supply the power automatically, to maintain the operation of the system. (2) POWER DC 12V: Power Socket for connection with external power source. Plug the factory-supplied 110V~220V/12V transformer extension wire in to this socket. If the external power source is in good condition, the power indicator on the front panel should turn red. (3) SERIAL PORT JACK: The serial port is used for the setting up the system when more than one unit of AA9604 are connected to the PBX. (4) LINE1, LINE2, LINE3, LINE4: Phone line jack for connection to a PBX. The telephone lines should be standard 2-wired analogue telephone lines, which transmit DTMF signals.
