Parallel Connection
Although not recommended by Honeywell, the
Informa may be connected to the same telephone
line as other telephone apparatus.
The Informa can only be connected in parallel with
other apparatus, since a series connection facility is
not provided.
When connected in this way the installer should
check that the combined REN (Ringer Equivalence
Number) of all equipment connected in parallel does
not exceed the maximum REN permitted by your
telephone provider.
PABX Connection
When used on a PABX system the Informa may need
access to an ‘outside line’ before attempting to dial a
telephone number. In this case all telephone numbers
programmed into the host control panel should be
prefixed with the ‘outside line’ code of the PABX.
This is usually 9.
Consult your PABX provider for further details, if
required.
Payphones
The Informa is not suitable for connection as an
extension to a payphone or 1 + 1 carrier system.
