Connection may not be made to pay telephone extensions or shared service (party) lines.
Each telephone requires a minimum line current of 20 mA for proper operation. For operation below
−4º F (−20° C), GAI-Tronics offers a plug-in power supply (120 V ac required), which will allow
operation to −40° C. Please refer to page 18.
The SMART Telephones provide the flexibility to address a diverse range of applications. A wide variety
of functions can be achieved by altering the configuration data stored in the telephone’s non-volatile
memory. These configuration options include:
 Pre-programmed auto-dial telephone numbers
 Call termination method (automatic or manual)
 Maximum call duration
 Answering options
Values for these functions are initially programmed during factory testing. These settings can be changed
remotely from a touch-tone telephone, manually (with an integral or portable keypad), or via TMA.
Telephone Management Application (TMA)
GAI-Tronics’ TMA software is a maintenance data collection and reporting tool that allows users to view
and report the health of the SMART Telephones. SMART Telephones can function with or without the
TMA software application installed. The decision to use TMA can be made at any time and is not needed
for telephone operation. Installation of TMA is not required until system monitoring is desired.
When used with TMA, each telephone will typically be polled to determine the health of the unit and
report the following:
 Stuck push buttons
 Cut handset cord
 Microprocessor health
 Line interrupt (power)
The basic TMA package (Model 12509-037) includes a single line transceiver for polling a single
telephone at a time. With each telephone requiring approximately 90 seconds to relay its health status to
TMA, the ability to poll multiple telephones simultaneously may become very important in larger
systems. A TMA expansion kit (Model 12509-036) is available and is required for each additional
connected telephone line, with a maximum of eight lines allowed. This allows a maximum of eight
telephones to be polled simultaneously. A dedicated PC is strongly recommended for TMA operation.
