Has anyone worked with a Rauland Telecenter 4 system? From my brief research it looks pretty proprietary. I may need to add two pots lines to it and get them programmed. Any ideas?

Looks like no one knows what it is. I for one have never heard of it and I've been in the industry since 1970. good luck on that one

The last time I saw a Rauland system it was in a school. It controlled the schools intercom/speaker system. Dont know much about it but I think your right, its "pretty proprietary".

The Rauland Telecenter 4 is a loudspeaker/intercom system used in schools. It isn't a phone system if that's what you were thinking. It's soul porpose is voice announcements or 2 way conversations with classrooms.

I thought it was the phone system. I haven't seen the system in person, someone on site told me that was the phone system. Hopefully they have a more standard phone system. Thanks for the help. dave

Sorry. I misread. It IS a phone system. However, it does appear that classroom intercom calling is its primary use.

I have a piece of administration software that may be of use to you (no guarantees!). E-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send it to you.

It is a phone system and an Intercom system it was replaced by the Telecenter-V about 7 years ago. It is expandable to 500 phone speaker combination ports, and its very easy to program if you have the proper software. It is in fact very proprietary. Rauland sells equipment through a distributor network, if you go to www.rauland.com you can look up who the distributor in your area is. More than likely you have plenty of room to add ports and or CO lines to the system you will need to add a CO line adapter card model number TC4171 and a UM1000 line amp to get it to work. If it has line tied to it already you will find a chassis or chassis's in the system each chassis will hold 5 TC4171 if yours is full you will need a chassis model TC4170 wiring it up is another matter altogether… IE it's hard and you will need manuals. Tech support is available only to certified technicians, but if you are an end user and own the system they might help you out. The local distributor may also offer tech support, but may charge a fee. I can help as much as possible, but you best bet is to contact the distributor for your area. If there is no distributor in your area (But I doubt it) I can help you out. Good luck Ed

I went and looked at the system today. It was a bit different, more of an intercom system that you could hook phones to also. I opened the rack and the installer had left all of the manuals on the bottom. That helped a bit. They have two TC4180 cages, one with 5 line cards and one with no line cards. I should be okay with the number of lines already. There was a floppy disk with the software but I haven't tried it out yet. It looked like quite a piece of equipment. I'm glad it was already wired, I'm afraid that I don't know how to wire wrap :-) Thanks for the info Ed, I'm glad there was some knowledge of the system here.

Okay a bit better if you have 4180's its not that old, if the chassis is there and wired you should be able to install cards and program. Rauland will wire up a chassis even if its shipped empty to set it up for future use.
If this is the case all you need is the cards and some programming and you should be good to go.

Are there any codes that can be used to get an outside line besides 8 and 9? Also, it's currently programmed to only allow a few administrative stations to dial 8 for an FX line. I will be replacing the FX line with two channels of voice over IP so I want everyone to have access to it. Thanks for the help
