The GAI-Tronics S.M.A.R.T. telephone product line offers a wide variety of configurable options making
the phones suitable for a diverse range of applications. Most configurable options can be changed from
another telephone. However, access to all configurable options is only available through TMA. The
following are examples of configurable options:
• Pre-programmed auto-dial telephone numbers
• Call termination method (automatic or manual)
• Maximum call duration
• Answering options
• Auxiliary input configuration
These functions are initially programmed during manufacturing and testing. After installation, they can
be programmed remotely via DTMF data calls, either manually or through TMA. Set the emergency
auto-dial phone numbers in accordance with your security plan. For most applications, the other function
settings will not need to be changed from their factory defaults. For details regarding configurable
options and the factory defaults, please refer to the programming section of this manual and the on-line
help available with TMA.
The emergency push button can be programmed to call three unique telephone numbers. The unique
telephone numbers include a primary telephone number and two backup, or roll over, numbers. In the
event an emergency call cannot connect to the primary telephone number (i.e., a busy signal or no
answer), the emergency phone will automatically dial the first backup, or roll over, number. Again, in the
event an emergency call cannot connect to first backup telephone number, the emergency phone will
automatically dial the second backup, or roll over, number. This sequence will continue either until the
emergency call is answered or the programmed number of retries is reached.
All of the above S.M.A.R.T. telephones are line-powered telephones and can be connected to any of the
following:
• Central Office (CO) line to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
• 24 V dc or 48 V dc analog station port of Private Branch Exchange (PBX), Private Automatic
Branch Exchange (PABX) or KSU.
Connection may not be made to pay phone extensions or shared service (party) lines.
The phones require a minimum line current of 24 mA to operate. However, when available line current is
below 35 mA, depending on the stability of the telephone line, the telephone’s operation can be affected.
To minimize the effects of lower line current, GAI-Tronics offers a plug-in power supply, Model 40404-
045. Please refer to General Installation Guidelines.
