October 2003
The Model 6001 Terminal Adapter allows a Tone Commander 6210 or 6220 ISDN telephone to be controlled by a
TAPI-compliant Windows computer application program. Adapter circuitry is housed in a telephone base that
replaces the standard base. An RS-232 serial port on the base connects to the computers com port.
Telephone operating software must be version 01.03.02 or higher to enable the TAPI features. To view the
installed software version, select VERS, then S/W from the Administration Options menu  (Setup → ADMIN→
