Introduction
The following descriptions define important
terms used in this manual.
The SPIRIT
® 
Communications System
ConnecT/R  provides you with the ability to
add telephone devices to your  SPIRIT
System. It connects to the controller.
The controller  is the central processor
through which all  SPIRIT calls in your
company are processed.
The SPIRIT Telephone  (with the AT&T
SPIRIT  
logo on it) is specialized to work
within the  SPIRIT Communications System.
You do not need a SPIRIT Telephone at-
tached to the ConnecT/R.
The telephone device is a modem, answer-
ing machine, standard telephone, etc., you
can add to the SPIRIT System via the
ConnecT/R. You can add up to two tele-
phone devices to a single ConnecT/R, and
use them to place and receive calls. Interac-
tions with specific  SPIRIT System features
are described later in this book.

Figure 1. SPIRIT ConnecT/R
The ConnecT/R allows you to add telephone
devices to your SPIRIT System in a way that
gives you much more flexibility than before.
Although it has always been possible to connect
answering machines, facsimile machines, mo-
dems, or standard telephones via the "line
auxiliary jack" on the controller, that jack re-
stricts their access to a single telephone line
within the SPIRIT System. But since the
ConnecT/R connects to ports designed for
SPIRIT  Telephones themselves (which can
access multiple lines), the telephone devices can
function on as many telephone lines as the port
was customized to handle.
