Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the TimeOut-2400 come with cables?

A: No. You can purchase these locally for far less that it would cost for us to supply them. You will need an additional power cable for your PC, a straight – through DB9F – DB9M serial cable, and an RJ-11 telephone cable (only if you are using the ring counter feature).   

If you are using only the VoIP feature, all you need is the RJ-11 cable and power cables.

Q: I don’t have any available serial ports on my PC.  Can I use a USB converter with the TimeOut- 2400?

A: The TimeOut-2400 works fine with a most USB-Serial Port Converters.  We will supply a USB-Serial converter cable upon request for $7.50.

Q: My PC won’t reboot after power is interrupted. (ATX power supply)

A: You need to find the BIOS settings for “on resumption of AC power,” and change setting to “ALWAYS REBOOT” (not “NEVER REBOOT” or “RETURN TO PREVIOUS STATE”). If you do not have these settings available in your BIOS, you must change your motherboard to one that does.

Q: Do you have a volume discount structure?

A: Our discounts are based on the quantity purchased, and are quoted at the time of the order. One example is a unit price of $55 for a purchase order of 100 or more units to be delivered in lots of 20 within a six-month period. Give us a call for other quotes.
