Terms Description and Uses
Talk Mode In this mode, the 0E-TELBSET goes “off hook” and
produces a dial tone when connected to a POTS line. While
off-hook the 0E-TELBSET can dial phone numbers from its
keypad or via internal memory slots.
Bell Mode This is the “on hook” or “off” mode. In this mode, caller ID and
the Ringer are activated when a call is being received.
Monitor Mode Monitor mode allows listening to a line without loading it.
It displays line voltage, on-hook Caller ID and any detected
DTMF digits on the line.
POTS line “Plain Old Telephone Service” the basic form of wired
residential and small business service connection.
Hook flash Rapid depression and release of the switch hook which is
used for placing a call on hold, notifying an operator of the
completion of a call, or signaling a PBX.
DTMF Dual Tone Multi-Frequency is the signaling between the sub-
scriber and switching equipment from push button telephones.
Tone Tone dialing mode uses the DTMF method to signal the
switching equipment for each numbered button press.
Pulse Pulse dialing mode signals the central office or switch by
opening and closing the telephone loop a specific amount of
times depending on the number dialed.
CID and
CWCID Caller ID is 1200 BAUD modem data sent between the first
and second ring with information about the incoming call for
display on a phone that recognizes CID. Call Waiting Caller
ID is the same information sent to the phone while a call is in
progress preceded by a call waiting tone.
Tip and Ring Tip and Ring are the historical names for the two leads of a
POTS line. Tip is the black lead and Ring the red lead of the
cord set. Contrary to modern standards, the black lead is a
positive voltage with respect to the red lead.
