the features and functions of a more advanced
telephone system into an intelligent, migratable

Effortless Installation
Just one more of the elite advantages the Electra Elite delivers.
Thanks to a reduced number of hardware components, and
single-pair wiring, installation of the Electra Elite is very easy and as
such, is more reliable. The system provides menu-driven PC-based
programming to simplify and speed implementation. To make set-up
and modifications even easier, end-user programming is provided
for approximately 60 different features. Users have the power to
customize functionality -- any time -- right at the tips of their fingers.
