CELLULAR INTERCONNECT EQUIPMENT
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
If you are planning to use the Dock-N-Talk™ instead of a conventional telephone land-line with non-cellular commercial equipment (ie: irrigation pivots, pumps, meters, alarm systems, PBX, etc.) please be aware that CDMA systems (older Verizon, Sprint, Altell, Cellular One) do not pass DTMF tones (touch-tones) clearly through their networks. For this reason, it is highly recommended that you use a GSM (AT&T, T-Mobile) or LTE (new G4 Verizon & AT&T) system in order to interface with your commercial equipment as GSM, and LTE transmission technology does not garble DTMF tones.
Lindsay Manufacturing Co., the manufacturer of Zimmatic center pivot and lateral move irrigation systems, upgraded their computer speech boards in 2006 to clear up the distorted DTMF tones sent through a CDMA network. You can use a CDMA carrier with the latest Zimmatic computer speech board from Lindsay. If your speech board is older than 2006, you must upgrade to this new speech board to use a CDMA carrier. Contact your local Zimmatic dealer for more information and pricing.

You may print out these instructions and diagrams for your future reference. Please READ YOUR INSTRUCTION SHEET FIRST and this web site before contacting me as most questions can be handled in one of these two places.
