IMPORTANT!
When we say POTS lines we mean just that – Plain Old (analog loop start) Telephone
Service lines. These ports
must not
be connected to proprietary phone ports off a PBX. If you
are uncertain if it is a POTS line
don’t
connect it to the TWOx12! If it is not POTS it won’t
work, and it could cause damage to your system. You can easily check the type of line by
connecting a standard analog telephone to it and check to see if it works.
A rule of thumb – if it works with an analog modem or fax machine it's safe to connect it!
Most private PBX telephone systems can accommodate “analog ports” for analog “legacy”
equipment such as modems and fax machines. You will need such ports to connect a POTS
TWOx12 to most PBX’s.
