Configuring your AETA’s PHONE ports

 

The AETA includes two phone ports that can be used for phone and fax communications.  Each phone port can be allocated up to four phone numbers.  Each number is given a distinctive ring tone using Multiple Subscriber Numbers (MSN).  

 

MSN allows you to connect a fax machine and a phone to the same AETA port. The fax machine (which must be compatible with Telstra's Duet® system) will automatically answer incoming calls to its number and leave calls to your phone number for you to answer.  

 

MSN can also be used to itemise call costs.  Individual outgoing calls are charged to the phone number associated with an individual phone (the phone number must be associated with your ISDN line and programmed into the MSN line number being used).   

 

The AETA supports Telstra's Call forward, Call waiting, Call Blocking (stops or allows the transmission of your telephone number on a call by call basis), Calling Number Display and Call Control (outgoing call barring). Guides to these features can also be found on the Telstra web site.  You will need to contact Telstra to arrange for connection of these features on your line.  

 

Additionally the AETA can act as an intercom between any of the (up to six) phones connected to it through its two phone ports, allowing you to call between phones free of charge and to pick up calls on the other phones. See the table below to program and use these features.

Setting the Prime Number

 

ISDN 2 (Onramp) services are allocated two phone numbers.  The first of these numbers is known as the Prime Number (PN) and this is the main incoming telephone number.

To program your Prime Number:

1.      Pick up the handset of a telephone connected to the port you wish to program the main number into and wait for dial tone.

2.      Dial  #1#

3.      Dial your ISDN Main Telephone Number i.e. 0735555555.

4.      Press #. When you hear the confirmation tone, hang up the telephone.

Setting the Fax Number

A fax machine and phone can share the same port but the fax machine can be programmed to answer incoming calls for its number only and leave calls to the phone number for you to answer.

Since this uses Telstra’s Duet®-like functionality, your fax machine must be Duet® compatible.

1.      Pick up the handset of a telephone connected to the port you wish to program the fax number into and wait for dial tone.

2.      Dial *11*3#

3.      You will now get the dial tone again.

4.      Dial #1#

5.      Dial Your ISDN Fax Number

6.      Press #.  You will hear a confirmation tone.  Hang up the telephone.
