APPROVAL STATUS
POET terminals are approved as simple telephones to be used only on PBX extensions.

POET Manager and Secretary terminals are linked by a two wire intercom circuit, this may be by a linking cable or via the ICD depending on local circumstances. A 13 Amp Mains socket outlet suitable for use with a plug-top type transformer is required close to each POET terminal phone socket.

INSTALLATION
POET terminals are supplied with a 6 way line cord terminated by a plug for use in phone sockets as shown below. Line Jack terminals 1 and 6 of the 'Manager' terminal must be linked to Line Jack terminals 1 and 6 of the 'Secretary' terminal via an `intercom pair'. This may be provided by running a local cable or using the internal cable distribution as appropriate.

Installation of POET terminals involves:-
a. Installation of batteries and Connection to line and power.
b. Setting the two switches on the rear of the terminal to set the signalling and recall conditions of the host PABX.
c. Identify type of host PABX.
d. Identify extension number of partner terminal.*
e. Set the clock.
f. Set host PABX specific facilities (if used on other than Monarch, DX, Regent, Viceroy or Kinsman PABX).

*NB. POET terminals will appear 'dead' until they have been programmed for this.
