When the ESTeem establishes a CONNECT or link with another ESTeem (T/E Light on solid), pin 22 at the ESTeem RS-232C will
change from a -15 vdc voltage state to a +15 vdc voltage state. The RING software command allows the user to change the
output from a latched state to a pulsed state. To change the state of this line program the following from the COMMAND
mode. Factory default = LATCH.
RING = Latch. Pin 22 is high when the ESTeem T/E light is on solid.
RING = Pulse. Pin 22 is pulsed (positive 250 ms.) when the ESTeem T/E light is on solid.
