Account Codes  
Account Codes  
Description  
Use Account codes to categorize and/or restrict outside calls.  
Account Codes are user-dialed codes that help categorize and/or restrict outside calls. Account Codes are  
from 2-10 digits long, using any combination of the digits 0-9. There are three types of Account Codes:  
Optional (Unforced Account Codes)  
Forced Account Codes  
Veried Account Codes  
Optional (Unforced) Account Codes  
Optional Account Codes allow a keyset extension user to enter an Account Code while placing an outside  
call or any time while on a call. This type of Account Code is optional: the system does not require the user  
to enter it. If the keyset user is already talking on an outside call, their conversation continues uninterrupted  
while they enter an Account Code.  
Single line telephone users can only enter an Account Code while placing their outside call.  
Forced Account Codes  
Forced Account Codes require an extension user to enter an Account Code every time they place an outside  
call. If the user doesn’t enter the code, the system prevents the call. The system can require Forced Account  
Codes for all outside calls, or just for toll calls (as determined by Toll Restriction programming). Note that  
Forced Account Codes do not pertain to incoming calls.  
Veried Account Codes  
With Veried Account Codes, the system compares the Account Code the user dials with a list of codes pro-  
grammed into the Veried Account Code Table. If the Account Code is in the table, the call goes through  
(provided it is not prevented by an extension’s Toll Restriction programming). If the code is not in the table,  
the system prevents the call. Veried Account Codes, if enabled, apply only to Forced Account Codes.  
Using Account Codes and Speed Dial  
To simplify Account Code operation, Personal and System Speed Dial bins can contain Account Codes.  
Keep the following in mind when using Speed Dial and Account Codes:  
The Account Code can be either the rst or last entry in the bin, and must be preceded and followed by  
the # character. For example, the Account Code 1234 must be entered as #1234#.  
The Speed Dial bin can contain an Account Code followed by an outside number, or just the Account  
Code. The Account Code must be preceded and followed by a # entry. If the bin contains just the  
Account Code, the user must be sure to press the bin key before dialing the outside number.  
If the system has Veried Account Codes enabled, the Account Code entered in the Speed Dial bin must  
match an entry in the Veried Account Code Table.  
If the Speed Dial bin does not contain an Account Code, the user must enter the Account Code manually.  
If Forced Account Codes are enabled, the system requires the user to enter the Account Code before it  
outdials the stored Speed Dial number.  
An extension user can preselect a line for a Speed Dial call.  
Using Account Codes with Last Number Redial and Save  
Last Number Redial and Save do not store Account Codes. This means that the user must manually enter an  
Account Code to have it included with a call dialed using Last Number Redial and Save. If Forced Account  
Codes are enabled, the system requires the user to enter the Account Code before it outdials the stored num-  
ber saved by Last Number Redial or Save.  
An extension user can preselect a line for a Last Number Redial or Save call.

Alphanumeric Display  
Alphanumeric Display  
Description  
The Alphanumeric Display messages help the display telephone user process calls, identify  
callers and customize features.  
The 22- and 34-Button Display Telephones have a three-line, 24-character per line alphanumeric display.  
The rst line displays the date and time (while idle) and feature status messages. The second line is used  
extensively by IntraMail. The third line displays the Soft Key denitions.  
The 34-Button Super Display Telephone has a nine-line, 24-character per line alphanumeric display. The  
rst line displays the date and time (while idle) and feature status messages, just like the 22- and 34-Button  
Display Telephones. The second line is used extensively by IntraMail. Lines 4-9 are the comprehensive  
Super Display Telephone soft key denitions.

Attendant Call Queuing  
Attendant Call Queuing  
Description  
Attendant Call Queuing helps minimize call congestion in systems that use the attendant as  
the overow destination for unanswered calls.  
An unlimited number of callers can queue for the attendant. The callers hear ringback while they wait for the  
attendant to answer — not busy tone. If you have the attendant as the overow destination for Direct Inward  
Lines, for example, unanswered DILs will “stack up” at the attendant until they are answered.  
Operator Call Key  
The last Feature Key on an attendant telephone is permanently assigned as an Operator Call key. When the  
operator has Intercom calls waiting to be answered, the calls queue under this key. The key winks (on) when  
calls are queued.  
The Operator Call key is a permanent assignment for all extensions assigned as operators. You cannot  
change this assignment. Attendant Call Queuing is a permanent, non-programmable feature.

Attendant Position  
Attendant Position  
Description  
The attendant is the system’s call processing focal point.  
The attendant is the focal point for call processing within the system. The system can have up to four atten-  
dants. In addition to the features of a standard keyset, the attendant also has the following unique capabilities  
(refer to the respective feature for details):  
Incoming Intercom calls from co-workers queue for the attendant. The callers never hear busy tone.  
The attendant can break into another extension user’s established call. This option is enabled in the atten-  
dant’s Class of Service (COS 1).  
Direct Line Access lets the attendant user dial a code to access an individual line. This option is enabled  
in the attendant’s Class of Service (COS 1).  
In an emergency, the attendant can release (disconnect) another user’s active outside call. This option is  
enabled in the attendant’s Class of Service (COS 1).  
The attendant can Camp-On (queue) for a busy line. This option is enabled in the attendant’s Class of  
Service (COS 1).  
An attendant with a System Night key can put the system in the night mode. This option is enabled in the  
attendant’s Class of Service (COS 1).  
The attendant can remove problem lines from service —then return them to service once the problem is  
corrected. This option is enabled because the attendant has Direct Line Access enabled in their Class of  
Service (COS 1).  
The attendant should use a 34-Button Display or 34-Button Super Display Telephone. In addition, most  
attendants should nd a DSS Console helpful when processing calls.

Call Coverage Keys  
Call Coverage Keys  
Description  
Call Coverage keys allow an extension user to cover a co-worker’s calls from their own telephone.  
A keyset can have Call Coverage Keys for a co-worker’s extensions, Ring Group master numbers and UCD  
Group master numbers. The Call Coverage Key lights when the co-worker’s extension is busy, ashes slowly  
when the co-worker has an incoming call, and ashes fast when the co-worker is in Do Not Disturb. The Call  
Coverage Key can ring immediately when a call comes into the covered extension, ring after a delay or not  
ring at all. In addition, the keyset user can press the Call Coverage Key to intercept their co-worker’s incom-  
ing call. They can also go off hook and press the Call Coverage key to call the covered extension. An exten-  
sion can have as many Call Coverage Keys as they have available Feature Keys on their telephone.

Call Forwarding  
Call Forwarding  
Description  
Call Forwarding ensures that the user’s calls are covered when they are away from their work area.  
Call Forwarding permits an extension user to redirect their call to another extension. The types of Call For-  
warding are:  
Call Forwarding when Not Answered  
Calls ringing the extension forward when not answered.  
Call Forwarding when Busy or Not Answered  
Calls ringing the extension forward when not answered, and all calls forward while the extension is busy.  
Call Forwarding Immediate  
All calls to the extension forward immediately.  
You can set up Call Forwarding to reroute all calls or just outside calls. If an extension with forwarding set  
for outside calls only receives a screened Transfer, the initial voice-announcement broadcasts at the exten-  
sion. When the caller hangs up to complete the transfer, the outside call forwards as programmed.  
Call Forwarding Chaining  
Extension user’s can chain Call Forwards. For example, extension 301 can forward all calls immediately to  
304, which in turn can forward all calls immediately to extension 302. Any co-worker calling 301 or 304  
goes to 302 instead. If extension 302 is Call Forwarded to voice mail, callers to 301 or 304 go directly to  
302’s mailbox.  
Call Forwarding Cancel  
Call Forwarding cancel allows a keyset user to dial a code to simultaneously cancel all Call Forwarding sys-  
tem-wide. The extension must have access level 4 or 5.  
Call Forwarding Key  
A keyset user can have a key on their telephone or DSS Console assigned as a Call Forwarding key.  
While the extension is idle, pressing the key puts the extension in the Call Forwarding programming  
mode - the same as pressing INTERCOM and dialing *3.  
- If the extension has Call Forwarding enabled, and the user presses the key and waits (for at least 6  
seconds), Call Forwarding is automatically cancelled.  
- If the extension has Call Forwarding disabled, and the user presses the key and waits (for at least 6  
seconds), the prior Call Forwarding mode is automatically enabled (if any).  
While the extension is busy, pressing the key switches Call Forwarding on and off.

sonal Speed Dial bin for similar operation (without the BLF). To do this:  
While on hook, dial #77.  
Press the key for the Personal Speed Dial bin you want to program + HOLD.  
For LINE/GRP/ICM, press INTERCOM + HOLD.  
For NUM, dial *3 + HOLD.

Press SPEAKER to exit.  
While the extension is idle, pressing the bin key puts the extension in the Call Forwarding programming  
mode - the same as pressing INTERCOM and dialing *3.  
If the extension has Call Forwarding enabled, and the user presses the bin key and waits (for at least 6  
seconds), Call Forwarding is automatically cancelled.  
If the extension has Call Forwarding disabled, and the user presses the bin key and waits (for at least 6  
seconds), the prior Call Forwarding mode is automatically enabled (if any).  
Call Forwarding Conrmation Tone  
Keyset users will hear a single conrmation beep after enabling or cancelling Call Forwarding. Single line  
telephone users will hear Intercom dial tone after enabling or cancelling Call Forwarding.

Call Forwarding Off Premises  
Call Forwarding Off Premises  
Description  
When a user is out of the ofce, they can send their calls to their home ofce or cell phone.  
Off Premises Call Forwarding allows a keyset user to forward their calls to an off-site location (such as a cell  
phone or remote ofce) if allowed by their Class of Service. Keyset users can stay in touch by having Off  
Premises Call Forwarding automatically forward their calls while they are away from the ofce. To set up  
Off Premises Call Forwarding, the user selects the line or Line Group over which the call should route, as  
well as the number the system should dial. The number dialed can be from an extension’s Personal Speed  
Dial bin containing an outside number, or the user can enter an outside number directly into their Personal  
Speed Dial bin 720. When a call rings the forwarded extension, the system selects the specied line or group  
and then outdials the stored number.  
Off Premises Call Forwarding reroutes:  
Intercom calls  
Transferred calls  
Direct Inward Lines  
UTRF (unscreened transfer) calls routed from the voice mail Automated Attendant  
Circular and Terminal Extension Hunting calls  
Off Premises Call Forwarding does not reroute:  
Key Ring calls  
Calls to a UCD Group master number.  
Group Ring calls (i.e., calls to a Ring Group master number)  
UCD Group Calls (i.e., calls to a UCD Group master number)  
Ringing Call Coverage key calls  
You can set up Off Premises Call Forwarding to reroute all calls or just outside calls. If an extension with  
forwarding set for outside calls only receives a screened Transfer, the initial voice-announcement broadcasts  
at the extension. When the caller hangs up to complete the transfer, the outside call forwards as programmed.

Call Timer  
Call Timer  
Description  
Call Timer helps users that must keep track of their time on the phone.  
Call Timer lets a keyset user with a Call Timer key time their outside calls on the telephone display. There  
are two types of Call Timer keys:  
Manual Call Timer  
Any time while placing a call or while on a call, a display keyset user can press their Manual Call Timer  
key to start the Call Timer. The Call Timer will continue until the user hangs up or presses their Manual  
Call Timer key again.  
Automatic Call Timer  
In addition to the features of the Manual Call Timer key, the Automatic Call Timer key provides automatic  
timing for outside calls. When a display keyset with an Automatic Call Timer key places or answers an out-  
side call, the Call Timer automatically starts when that outside call connects. The Automatic Call Timer  
does not automatically start for Intercom calls. The Automatic Call Timer can also work like a Manual Call  
Timer key. There is no need to have a Manual and Automatic Call Timer key on the same phone.  
The Call Timer feature also provides:  
Review of Previously Timed Call  
Any time after hanging up from a timed call, a display keyset user can press their Manual or Automatic  
Call Timer key to review the duration of that call.  
Timer Reset for Current Call  
While the display keyset user is timing their call, they can press CLEAR at any time to reset the Call  
Timer to 00:00:00.  
Automatic Timer Stop  
The system assigns the Call Timer to the active call. When the user terminates the active call, the Call  
Timer automatically shuts down.  
Wrap-up Timer Display  
After hanging up a timed call, a display keyset will show the Call Timer data for 6 seconds before returning  
the display to idle. This gives the extension user adequate time to make a record of the timed call, if desired.

Call Waiting / Camp-On  
Call Waiting / Camp-On  
Description  
Call Waiting helps busy extension users know when they have additional waiting calls. It also  
lets callers wait in line for a busy extension without being forgotten.  
With Call Waiting, an extension user may call a busy extension and wait in line (Camp-On) without hanging  
up. When the user Camps-On (by dialing 2), the system signals the busy extension with two beeps indicating  
the rst waiting call. (The busy extension can be on a handset or Handsfree call.) The call goes through when  
the extension becomes free.  
If an extension has more than one caller waiting, they queue on a rst-in/rst-out basis (FIFO). The exten-  
sion will not hear Camp-On beeps for additional waiting calls.  
Off-Hook Signaling also alerts the user when unanswered calls are waiting to get through. Turn to Off-Hook  
The following chart shows when the two types of Off-Hook Signaling occur. Note that Camp-On tones occur  
for an extension when they are the exclusive recipient of the call (such as a DIL).

Callback  
Callback  
Description  
With Callback, a user does not have to repeatedly call a busy extension back, hoping to nd it idle.  
When an extension user calls a busy co-worker, they can leave a Callback request for a return call. The sys-  
tem services Callback requests as follows:  
Caller at extension A leaves a Callback at extension B.  
- Caller can place or answer additional calls in the mean time.  
When extension B becomes idle, the system rings extension A. This is the Callback ring.  
Once caller A answers the Callback ring, the system rings (formerly busy) extension B.  
- If caller A doesn’t answer the Callback ring, the system cancels the Callback.  
As soon as caller B answers, the system sets up an Intercom call between A and B.  
An extension user can leave a Callback at many extensions simultaneously. The system processes the Call-  
backs as the extensions become free. In addition, many extensions can leave a Callback at the same exten-  
sion. The system processes these Callbacks on a rst-in/rst-out (FIFO) basis.  
If an extension user leaves a Callback request and then fails to answer within four rings, the system cancels  
the Callback.  
Operation

Caller ID  
Caller ID  
Description  
Caller ID automatically displays the phone number and optional name for incoming outside calls.  
Caller ID allows a display keyset to show an incoming caller’s telephone number (called Directory Number  
or DN) and optional name as the call is ringing. Caller ID supports the telco’s Called Number Identication  
(CNI) and Called Number Delivery (CND) service, when available. These services provide the Caller ID  
information (i.e., messages) between the rst and second ring burst of an incoming call.  
Caller ID provides the following features:  
Single and Multiple Message Format Compatibility  
There are two types of Caller ID message formats currently available: Single Data Message Format (SDMF)  
and Multiple Data Message Format (MDMF). With Single Message Data Format, the telco sends only the  
caller’s phone number (DN). The DN can be up to 10 digits long. In Multiple Data Message Format, the  
telco sends the DN and the caller’s name. The DN for this format can be up to 15 digits long, and the name  
provided can consist of up to 15 ASCII characters.  
If no DN is received, no number or error message displays.

Caller ID Logging  
Caller ID Logging  
Description  
An extension can store the caller’s name and phone number for easy review and redialing.  
When caller ID is enabled, Caller ID Logging stores a record of the caller’s number and name (if provided  
by the telco) for each outside call that rings an extension. This allows an extension user to easily review and  
redial their calls. The system can log records directly to an extension or to one of 8 Caller ID Logging  
Groups. All the extensions in the same Logging Group share the same Caller ID records. Each extension or  
Logging Group can store up to 99 Caller ID records. The system stores up to 1000 Caller ID records, allo-  
cated among all extensions and Caller ID Logging Groups. All Caller ID records are retained when the sys-  
tem is powered down or reset. If a line rings more than one extension simultaneously, the system logs the  
call at all ringing extensions.

Central Office Calls, Placing  
Central Ofce Calls, Placing  
Description  
Customize the call placing options to meet the site requirements and each individual’s needs.  
The system provides exibility in the way each extension user can place outgoing calls. A user can place a  
call by:  
Pressing a Line Key  
Any keyset can have line keys for one-touch access to specic lines.  
Pressing a Loop Key  
Loop Keys provide a user with one-touch access to the assigned Loop Group. Loop Groups can consist  
of one or more Line Groups.  
Using Line Dial-Up  
With Line Dial-Up, a user can select a specic line by pressing INTERCOM and dialing the Line  
Dial-Up code (#9) followed by the line number (1-64).  
Using Direct Line Access  
Direct Line Access allows a user to access a line by pressing INTERCOM and dialing the line’s exten-  
sion number (e.g., 101 for line 1, 102 for line 2. etc.).  
Dialing a Line Group Access Code  
User’s can also place outside calls by pressing INTERCOM and dialing a Line Group Access Code (90-98).  
Line Group Routing  
If the system has Line Group Routing enabled, user’s get the rst available line when they press INTER-  
COM and dial 9.  
Store and Forward  
Store and Forward is an alternate method of placing outside calls in which the system stores (“collects”) the  
digits a user dials, waits for the user to nish dialing, and then redials the digits on the selected line. Store  
and forward provides Intercom dial tone to the caller as soon as they dial a line access code or press a loop  
key, similar to conventional ARS operation. When the user has completed dialing, the system will dial out  
the call over the connected line after 6 seconds or when the user dials #. Store and Forward can also be an  
advantage when connected to a T1 service that does not provide line dial tone.  
Post dialing for Store and Forward calls is also available. After a user dials using Store and Forward, they  
can manually dial additional digits. The normal post dialing soft keys (such as AUTO REDIAL [ALND] for  
Auto Redial) are also enabled.  
Store and Forward does not apply to line keys, Direct Line Access, or line dial up (i.e., #9 plus the line  
number).  
You can use Account Codes with Store and Forward enabled (see Operation below).

Direct Inward Line  
Direct Inward Line  
Description  
A DIL lets an employee know which calls are just for them.  
A Direct Inward Line (DIL) is a line that rings an extension directly. Since DILs only ring one extension,  
employees always know which calls are for them. For example, a company operator can have a Direct  
Inward Line for International Sales Information. When outside callers dial the DIL’s phone number, the call  
rings the operator on the International Sales line key. The DIL does not ring other extensions.  
Assigning a DIL to an extension automatically provides immediate ringing and incoming access for the line,  
with no additional programming required.  
A DIL can ring:  
Extension numbers (including the attendant’s extension)  
Ring Group master numbers  
UCD Group master numbers (including the voice mail master number)  
Night Mode Control  
The extension to which the line is terminated controls the night mode of the line. For example, if extension  
301 has line 1 assigned as a DIL, the user can press DND to switch line 1 to its night routing destination.  
Switching line 1 to night mode at extension 301 has no affect on the night mode of the system. This exibil-  
ity could allow a service dispatcher with several DILs to independently send lines to their night destinations  
without affecting the night mode of the entire system.

Direct Line Access  
Direct Line Access  
Description  
Priority users can access lines directly. Direct Line Access also lets maintenance personnel  
access and test individual lines.  
Direct Line Access lets an extension user access (seize) an individual line. After seizing the line, the user can  
dial any outside telephone number without restriction. An extension’s Class of Service allows or denies  
Direct Line Access. Direct Line Access is normally only provided for attendants, priority users and mainte-  
nance personnel.

Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console  
Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console  
Description  
DSS Consoles provide one-touch access to extensions, lines, and system features.  
The DSS Console (P/N 1090024 for black and P/N 090029  
for white) gives a keyset user one-button access to exten-  
sions, lines, and selected features. This saves time for users  
that do a lot of call processing such as operators or dis-  
patchers).  
The system allows you to install 4 DSS Consoles maxi-  
mum per system. DSS Consoles use their own digital sta-  
tion port and do not require a separate power supply. In  
programming, you assign each installed console to an  
“owner” keyset. Each console can only have one owner.  
You can assign the following types of Feature Keys to a DSS Console.:

Distinctive Ringing  
Distinctive Ringing  
Description  
Allows users to customize their telephone’s ringing so they’ll know when calls are just for them.  
Distinctive Ringing allows the installer or keyset extension user to customize keyset ringing. This permits  
the user to determine the type of call just by listening to their keyset ring. Distinctive Ringing provides:  
Distinctive Ring Conguration at Each Keyset  
A keyset user can follow intuitive soft key menus to set up distinctive ringing for their phone. Their  
phone will even play back the new ring tones as the distinctive rings are being set up.  
Line Override (Distinctive Ringing by Line and Ringing Mode)  
Each line can have its own distinctive ringing for each ring mode (day, night, or delay). This allows a  
keyset user, for example, to easily differentiate between new ringing calls and calls that are ringing their  
phone after a delay.  
Extension Ring Override  
Each keyset extension can additionally override a line’s distinctive ringing with the extension’s own  
unique settings. Extension Ring Override helps identify ringing phones in large, open work areas.  
Key Ring Override  
A keyset extension can set up unique ringing for each of its Call Coverage, Group Call Pickup, and line  
keys. If a user needs to know what type of call is ringing their phone, Key Ring Override will help.  
Unique Ringing for UCD Groups and Ring Groups  
UCD Groups and Ring Groups can have their own distinctive rings. This allows a user to tell the differ-  
ence between Intercom calls ringing their phone and UCD or Ring Group Calls.  
The Distinctive Ringing Hierarchy  
An extension’s Distinctive Ringing uses the following hierarchy:  
1. Key Ring Override  
2. Extension Ring Override  
3. Line Override  
4. Default ringing assigned by the system  
This means that Line Override will replace the default ringing assigned by the system. Extension Ring Over-  
ride will in turn replace ringing set by Line Override. Finally, Key Ring Override will replace ringing set by  
Extension Override or ringing set by Line Override.

The Ring Types determine how different types of calls rings extensions. Each Ring Type sounds unique  
because it uses one of the 10 available ring tones. The rst four Ring Types are assigned by default (see the

Extension Override and Key Ring Override.

Type C ringing  
Not used (unassigned) by default. (You can reassign types A, B, and C ringing in  
Extension Override and Key Ring Override below.)  
When Multiple Calls Ring an Extension  
When multiple calls with different priorities are ringing an extension, the system prioritizes ringing accord-  
ing to the list below. All LEDs will ash as appropriate for the type of call, but the telephone will ring only  
for the highest priority call.  
1. INTERCOM Key  
2. Line Key (from lowest to highest)

Door Box  
Door Box  
Description  
Use a Door Box to remotely monitor an entrance door.  
The Door Box (P/N 922450) is a self-contained analog Intercom unit typically used to monitor an entrance  
door. A visitor at the door can press the Door Box call button (like a door bell). The Door Box then sends  
chime tones or ringing to all extensions programmed to receive chimes. To answer the chime or ringing, the  
called extension user just lifts the handset. This lets the extension user talk to the visitor at the Door Box.  
The Door Box is convenient to have at a delivery entrance, for example. It is not necessary to have company  
personnel monitor the delivery entrance; they just answer the Door Box instead.  
Door Box Relays  
Any keyset extension that receives Door Box chimes or ringing can control a control relay, which in turn  
typically enables an electric strike on an entrance door next to the Door Box.  
Door Box Alerts  
The system uses Ring Groups to control Door Box alerts. When a visitor at the door presses the Door Box  
call button, the Door Box will alert (chime or ring) all the extensions in the Ring Group to which the Door  
Box belongs. For example, if Door Box 309 and extensions 301 and 302 are in Ring Group 1, pressing the  
call button alerts 301 and 302.

Extension Hunting  
Extension Hunting  
Description  
Automatically route calls to co-workers that work closely together.  
Extension Hunting routes calls to a predened group of hunt group member extensions. A call rings in  
sequence through the hunt group until answered at a member extension. Extension Hunting is helpful, for  
example, for a group of co-workers that share responsibility for answering calls. Each call cycles through the  
group until an available member picks it up.  
There are three types of Extension Hunting:  
Circular Hunting  
Terminal Hunting  
Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) Hunting  
Circular Hunting  
A Circular Hunting group consists of a group of extensions programmed into a Circular Hunting list. A call  
unanswered at a member extension rings the next extension in the programmed list. If unanswered, the call  
will continue to cycle through the hunt group. Depending on the hunt type (see below), Circular Hunting  
will occur for transferred outside calls, DILs to a hunt group member, and ringing Intercom calls. Hunting  
does not occur for Key Ring and Ring Group calls.  
Terminal Hunting  
A Terminal Hunting group consists of a group of extensions programmed into a Terminal Hunting list. A call  
unanswered at a member extension rings the next extension in the programmed list. The call will cycle  
through the group once, until it reaches the last extension in the list. Unlike Circular Hunting, the call will  
not cycle back to the top of the hunt list. Depending on the hunt type (see below), Terminal Hunting will  
occur for transferred outside calls, DILs to a hunt group member, and ringing Intercom calls. Hunting does  
not occur for Key Ring and Ring Group calls.  
Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) Hunting  
Like Circular and Terminal Hunting, a UCD Hunting also consists of a group of extensions programmed into  
a hunt list. The system routes calls into a UCD Group according to the frequency of use of the member  
extensions. The rst extension rung is the member that has been idle the longest. The last extension rung is  
the member that has been idle the shortest.  
Each member of the group is additionally associated with a UCD Master Extension Number. To activate  
UCD Hunting, an incoming call must route to the UCD Group master number. This is done by placing an  
Intercom call to the master number, transferring a call to the master number or setting up a DIL to the master  
number. When all members of the UCD Group are busy, the call can route to the programmed UCD Over-  
ow destination.

Extension Locking  
Extension Locking  
Description  
When they leave the ofce, a keyset user can secure their phone to prevent unauthorized use.  
Extension Locking allows a keyset extension user to secure their phone when they leave the ofce. The user  
may want to do this if their phone has Toll Restriction and Class of Service options enabled that could be  
easily abused. While locked, the restrictions set up in Class of Service 15 and Toll Level 7 are in force at  
the extension. When the user returns, they just unlock their extension to return it to normal operation.  
You’ll need to program the restrictions in Class of Service 15 and Toll Level 7 separately.  
Walking Class of Service and Extension Locking  
Walking Class of Service overrides Extension Locking. For example:  
Extension 301 is permitted by their Class of Service and Toll Restriction to use Paging and place long  
distance calls.  
Extension 306 locks their extension. While locked, Class of Service 15 prevents Paging and Toll Level 7  
prevents long distance calls. These features are no longer available at extension 306.  
The extension 301 user goes to extension 306 and implements Walking Class of Service.  
The extension 301 user can then use 306 to make long distance calls and Page (even though 306 was  
locked to prevent those features).

Group Call Pickup  
Group Call Pickup  
Description  
Easily answer a call ringing your Pickup Group, even if you don’t know which extension is ringing.  
Group Call Pickup allows an extension user to answer a call ringing an extension in their assigned Pickup  
Group. This permits co-workers in the same Pickup Group to easily answer each other’s ringing calls. The  
user can intercept the ringing call by dialing a code or pressing a programmed Group Call Pickup key. The  
system has a maximum of eight Pickup Groups, with an unlimited number of extensions in each group.  
However, an extension can be a member of only one pickup group.  
Group Call Pickup can answer the following types of calls:  
Ringing Intercom calls  
Transferred calls  
Direct Inward Lines  
Calls on lines assigned to the Pickup Group  
To simplify picking up calls, an extension can have Feature Keys assigned as Group Call Pickup keys. There  
are three types of Group Call Pickup keys: immediate ring, no ring (lamp only), or delayed ring.

Group Listen  
Group Listen  
Description  
Use Group Listen to talk to an important client or customer and have your co-workers listen in  
on the meeting.  
Group Listen permits a keyset user to talk on the handset and have their caller’s voice broadcast over the  
telephone speaker. This lets the keyset user’s co-workers listen to the conversation. Group Listen turns off  
the keyset’s Handsfree microphone so the caller does not hear the co-worker’s voices during a Group Listen.  
When a keyset user sets up Group Listen, they hear their caller’s voice over the telephone speaker as well as  
their handset.

Group Ring  
Group Ring  
Description  
Use Group Ring to call a group of co-worker’s simultaneously.  
Group Ring allows you to arrange extensions into Ring Groups for answering calls. When a call comes into  
the Ring Group master number, all extensions in the group ring simultaneously. Any user in the Ring Group  
can answer the call just by lifting the handset. The ringing call can be:  
A Direct Inward Line to the Ring Group (i.e., terminated to the Ring Group master number).  
An outside call transferred to the Ring Group master number.  
An intercom call to the Ring Group master number.  
The system provides up to 8 Ring Groups (1-8). The Ring Group master numbers are predened as 600-607,  
but can be any valid extension number not already in use.  
An unanswered DIL to the Ring Group master number can be picked up by the Ring Group Mailbox.

Handsfree and Handsfree Answerback  
Handsfree and Handsfree Answerback  
Description  
- Talk over the phone Handsfree, using the built-in speaker and microphone.  
- With Handsfree Answerback, answer an Intercom call by just speaking toward your phone.  
Handsfree  
Handsfree allows a keyset user to process calls using the speaker and microphone in the telephone (instead  
of the handset). Handsfree is a convenience for workers who don’t have a free hand to pick up the handset.  
For example, a terminal operator could continue to enter data with both hands while talking on the phone.  
Handsfree Answerback and Forced Intercom Ringing  
Handsfree Answerback permits an extension user to respond to a voice-announced Intercom call by speak-  
ing toward the phone, without lifting the handset. Like Handsfree, this is a convenience for workers who  
don’t have a free hand to pick up the handset. Incoming Intercom calls alert with two beeps if the extension  
has Handsfree Answerback — a single beep if it does not.  
Forced Intercom Ringing causes an Intercom call to ring the destination extension. You can enable Forced  
Intercom Ringing system-wide (for all extensions), or a user can dial a code to have their Intercom call ring  
the destination.

Headset Compatibility  
Headset Compatibility  
Description  
Have the privacy of a handset call without having to hold the handset.  
A keyset user can utilize a customer-provided headset in place of the handset. Like using Handsfree, using  
the headset frees up the user’s hands for other work. However, the headset provides privacy not available  
from Handsfree.  
Headset Compatibility also provides the following features. (Note that while an extension is in the Headset  
mode, the system ignores all hookswitch depressions.)  
Background Music  
If programmed and connected, Background Music will broadcast over the telephone speaker while the  
extension is in the Headset mode.  
Central Ofce Calls, Answering  
An extension user in the Headset mode can press Volume Up and Volume Down to control the volume  
of any call ringing their phone.  
Handsfree and Handsfree Answerback  
An extension in the Headset mode can receive normal voice-announced Intercom calls, depending on sys-  
tem programming. The extension user can respond to the voice-announced call by speaking toward the  
phone (just like non-headset extensions). To answer the voice-announced call in the headset, the user just  
presses SPEAKER after hearing the voice-announcement.  
Microphone Mute  
While on a headset call, the extension user can press MUTE to mute (i.e., turn off) the headset micro-  
phone. While responding to an Intercom call using Handsfree Answerback, pressing MUTE mutes the  
Handsfree microphone.  
Off-Hook Signaling  
Outside Calls  
Depending on system programming, an extension in the headset mode can receive either Camp-On  
beeps or Off-Hook Ringing for incoming outside calls (just like non-headset extensions).  
Intercom Calls  
Depending on system programming, an extension in the headset mode can receive either Camp-On  
beeps or Voice Over announcements from a co-worker (just like non-headset extensions).  
Hotline Calls  
Depending on system programming, an extension in the headset mode can receive either Camp-On  
beeps or Voice Over announcements from their Hotline partner.  
Paging  
Internal Paging announcements broadcast over the telephone speaker while the extension is in the Head-  
set mode.  
Transfer  
Screened and unscreened transfers work just like non-headset extensions. For example, if a headset  
extension user presses SPEAKER to answer a screened transfer, the call will connect to their headset  
when the transferring party hangs up. Note that Handsfree Transfers always connect to the headset exten-  
sion’s headset, not speakerphone.  
Volume Control  
While on a headset call, the extension user can press Volume Up and Volume Down to adjust the  
receive volume in the headset.  
Headset Key  
A keyset user can have a Feature Key on their telephone or DSS Console assigned as a Headset key. The  
user presses the key to enable or disable the headset mode, as an alternative to using the #HL User Pro-

grammable Feature. The key lights while the extension is in the Headset mode, and is off while the Headset  
mode is disabled. If an extension user is on a call, pressing the Headset key automatically switches the  
active call to the headset. Pressing the Headset key again switches the call back to Handsfree.  
Off-Hook Signaling and Headsets  
Outside Calls (transfers and DILs)  
If the extension is set up to receive Camp-On tones for waiting (transferred) outside calls, the user will hear  
the Camp-On tones in their headset. They will also hear Camp-On tones in their headset for a waiting Direct  
Inward Line (DIL). The extension will not, however, receive Camp-On tones for Key Ring calls ringing the  
phone while it is in the headset mode.  
An extension in the headset mode will not hear Off-Hook Ringing.  
Intercom Calls  
If the extension is set up to receive Camp-On tones for waiting Intercom calls, the user will hear tones in  
their headset when a co-worker dials 2 to wait in line.

Hold  
Hold  
Description  
Have a call wait on Hold, then pick it up to continue the conversation.  
Hold lets an extension user put a call in a temporary waiting state. The caller on Hold hears silence or Music  
on Hold, not conversation in the extension user’s work area. While the call waits on Hold, the extension user  
may process calls or use a system feature. Outside calls left on Hold too long recall the extension that placed  
them on Hold. If the recall is unanswered, the call diverts to Key Ring.  
There are four types of Hold:  
System (Regular) Hold  
With System Hold, an outside call a user places on Hold ashes the line key (if programmed) at all other  
keysets. Any keyset user with the ashing line key can pick up the call.  
Exclusive Hold  
When a user places a call on Exclusive Hold, only that user can pick up the call from Hold. The line appears  
busy to all other keysets that have a key for the line. Exclusive Hold is important if the user doesn’t want a  
co-worker picking up their call on Hold.  
Automatic Hold  
Automatic Hold allows a user to be on an outside call, activate a feature, and automatically place the call on  
Hold without rst pressing the HOLD key. The system places a call on Hold automatically when the user  
presses CONF, INTERCOM, or a Hotline key. Automatic Hold optionally allows a user, busy on an outside  
call, to press another line key or a Call Coverage Key to automatically put their initial call on Hold.  
Intercom Hold  
A user can place an Intercom call on Hold. The Intercom call on Hold does not indicate at any other exten-  
sion. There is no Hold Recall for Intercom calls.  
Distinctive Flash Rate on Recall  
System Hold and Exclusive Hold recall feature a distinctive ash rate for line keys (see the chart below).  
This allows the keyset extension user to easily differentiate new calls that are ringing from held calls that  
are recalling.  
Distinctive Flash Rate on Recall  
You see this ash rate:

Use advanced features just by pressing a soft key, without remembering feature codes.  
Interactive Soft Keys provide intuitive feature access. It is no longer necessary to remember feature codes to  
access the telephone’s advanced features because the function of the soft keys change as the user process calls.  
For example, while on an outside call a display keyset user can press the PARK soft key to Park their call in orbit.

Intercom  
Intercom  
Description  
Use Intercom to call any co-worker.  
Intercom gives extension users access to other extensions. This provides the system with complete internal  
calling capability.  
Handsfree Answerback and Forced Intercom Ringing  
Handsfree Answerback permits an extension user to respond to a voice-announced Intercom call by speak-  
ing toward the phone, without lifting the handset. Like Handsfree, this is a convenience for workers who  
don’t have a free hand to pick up the handset. Incoming Intercom calls alert with two beeps if the extension  
has Handsfree Answerback — a single beep if it does not.  
Forced Intercom Ringing causes an Intercom call to ring the destination extension. You can enable Forced  
Intercom Ringing system-wide (for all extensions), or a user can dial a code to have their Intercom call ring  
the destination.  
For more on setting up Handsfree Answerback and Forced Intercom Ringing, see Handsfree and Handsfree

Key Ring  
Key Ring  
Description  
So they are not forgotten, unanswered calls automatically ring co-worker’s extensions.  
A Key Ring line rings an extension according to the settings in system programming. Multiple extensions  
can be enabled to ring immediately or after a programmed delay for each incoming line call. In addition,  
under certain conditions other types of outside calls divert to Key Ring if unanswered. The following condi-  
tions also initiate Key Ring:  
Direct Inward Line  
An unanswered DIL diverts to Key Ring if unanswered at the extension to which it is terminated. See  
Hold  
Calls left on Hold too long recall the extensions that initially placed them on Hold. If still unanswered,  
they divert to Key Ring.  
Park  
Calls parked in orbit recall the extension that initially parked them. If unanswered, the call diverts to  
Key Ring.  
Transfer  
An unanswered Transfer recalls the extension that initially transferred it. If still unanswered, the line  
diverts to Key Ring.  
Operation  
Key Ring is automatic for those extensions programmed to receive it.

Last Number Redial  
Last Number Redial  
Description  
Quickly redial the last number dialed.  
Last Number Redial allows an extension user to quickly redial the last outside number dialed. For example,  
a user may quickly recall a busy or unanswered number without manually dialing the digits. Last Number  
Redial saves in system memory the last 20 digits a user dials. The number can be any combination of digits  
0-9, # and *. The system remembers the digits regardless of whether the call was answered, unanswered or  
busy. The system normally uses the same line as for the initial call. However, if that line is busy and is part of  
a Line Group, Last Number Redial will automatically select the next line in the group. The user can also pre-  
select a specic line if desired.  
Enhanced Last Number Redial  
If enabled, Enhanced Last Number Redial allows the extension user to select from the last 5 outside numbers  
dialed. When the user places an outside call, the number dialed is stored in the Enhanced Last Number  
Redial buffer. This buffer saves the 5 most recent numbers (including Speed Dial calls), with the most recent  
call at the top of the buffer and the oldest number at the bottom of the buffer. Old calls get pushed off the bot-  
tom of the buffer to make room for new calls at the top. If a user dials a number that is already stored in the  
buffer, the system inserts the number at the top of the buffer and deletes the duplicate entry.  
The numbers stored in the Enhanced Last Number Redial buffer are retained if the system resets or is pow-  
ered down.

Line Group Routing  
Description  
Dial a single code to place a call over the rst available line in a Line Group.  
With Line Group Routing enabled, an extension user can just press INTERCOM and dial 9 to place an out-  
side call. Line Group Routing automatically selects the rst available line in the extension’s programmed  
“dial 9” Line Group. This simplies placing calls in systems that have a lot of lines for outgoing calls.

Line Groups  
Line Groups  
Description  
Dial codes to access Line Groups for outgoing calls.  
Extension users can optionally dial Line Group access codes 90-98 to select an available line in the group for  
outgoing calls. This is helpful in applications that have different services arranged into Line Groups. For  
example, dialing 90 could access a group of DDD lines for local calls, and dialing 91 could access a group of  
WATS lines for long distance calls. Note that systems with Line Group Routing (page 98) enabled cannot  
also dial Line Group access codes 90-98.  
When a user dials a Line Group access code (90-98), the system selects the lowest number in the group that is  
available. If that line is busy, it automatically selects the next highest line. If all lines in the group are busy, the  
user can optionally queue for a line to become free. See Line Queuing / Line Callback (page 102) for more.

Line Queuing / Line Callback  
Line Queuing / Line Callback  
Description  
- When all lines are busy, Line Queuing lets a user wait in line for a line to become free.  
- Line Callback will automatically call the user back when a line is available.  
Line Queuing  
Line Queueing permits an extension user to queue (wait in line) on hook for a busy line or Line Group to  
become free. The system connects the queued extension as soon as the line is available. The user does not  
have to manually retry the line later.  
Line Callback  
After queuing for a line, the extension user just hangs up to convert the Line Queue into a Line Callback.  
When the line becomes free, the system automatically recalls the extension. As soon as the extension user  
answers the callback ring, the system connects the extension to the line.  
An extension user can leave a Line Callback for many lines. The system processes the callbacks as the lines  
become free. In addition, many extensions can leave a Line Callback for the same line. The system processes  
the Callbacks on a rst-in/rst-out (FIFO) basis.  
If an extension user leaves a Line Callback request and then fails to answer the callback ring, the system can-  
cels the Callback.  
Line Queuing Priority  
Selected extensions can have Line Queuing Priority enabled in their Class of Service. If more than one  
extension queues or leaves a Callback for a busy line, the system services the extension with Line Queuing  
Priority rst. If more than one extension with priority is queued for the same busy line, the system services  
the priority extensions on a rst-in/rst-out (FIFO) basis.  
- This option does not restrict Line Callback.

Loop Keys  
Loop Keys  
Description  
Loop keys simplify answering and placing calls.  
Loop keys are Feature Keys that simplify the way extension users place and answer outside calls. There are  
two types of loop keys: Switched Loop keys and Fixed Loop keys.  
Switched Loop Keys  
For incoming calls, Switched Loop keys provide an appearance for any line not assigned to a line key for  
which the extension has access and ringing. Switched Loop keys insure that there is a visual appearance for  
lines that do not ring an extension’s line keys.  
For outgoing calls, Switched Loop keys provide convenient access to Line Groups. For example, instead of  
pressing INTERCOM and dialing 90 for Line Group 90, the user can just press the Switched Loop key and  
dial 0 instead.  
Fixed Loop Keys  
For outgoing calls, a Fixed Loop key is a loop key assigned to a specic Line Group. When the extension  
user presses the Fixed Loop key for an outgoing call, they get the rst line in the group assigned to the key.  
For incoming calls, the Fixed Loop key works just like a Switched Loop key. It provides an appearance for  
any line not assigned to a line key for which the extension has access and ringing.  
Answering Priority  
When multiple calls ring an extension simultaneously, the system services the ringing calls in the follow-  
ing order:  
1. Ringing Intercom call  
2. Line or loop key (from lowest to highest)

Meet-Me Conference  
Meet-Me Conference  
Description  
Set up a multiple-party telephone conversation with your co-workers.  
With Meet-Me Conference, an extension user can set up a telephone meeting with their co-workers. Each  
party joins the Conference by dialing a Meet Me Conference code. Meet Me Conference lets extension users  
have a telephone meeting — without leaving the ofce. Users must join the meeting within the Meet-Me  
Conference interval.  
The system has two Meet-Me Conference codes (#11 and #12). After a Meet-Me Conference is set up and  
the Meet-Me Conference interval expires, the code used becomes available for a new meeting. Since Meet-  
Me Conference is a type of Conference, the system’s Conference capacity determines:  
The number of users that can join a Meet-Me Conference, and  
The number of simultaneous conferences.  
The following table shows the Conference capacities:

Message Waiting  
Message Waiting  
Description  
For systems without voice mail, leave a Message Waiting request for a return call.  
An extension user can leave a Message Waiting indication at a busy or unanswered extension requesting a  
return call. The indication is a ashing V-MAIL key and Ring/Message lamp at the called extension. Answer-  
ing the Message Waiting automatically calls the extension which left the indication. Message Waiting  
ensures that a user will not have to recall an unanswered extension. It also ensures that a user will not miss  
calls when their extension is busy or unattended.  
An extension user can leave Messages Waiting at any number of extensions. Also, any number of extensions  
can leave a Message Waiting at the same extension. If an extension has multiple messages waiting, the user  
can scroll through their Messages Waiting and select a co-worker to call back.

Monitor / Silent Monitor  
Monitor / Silent Monitor  
Description  
Monitor a co-worker’s phone conversation without them knowing you are on the phone.  
Monitor lets an extension user listen to the conversation at a busy extension. To implement Monitor, an  
extension user just calls a busy extension and dials the Monitor code. The busy extension and their caller  
have no indication of the intrusion. There are no tones heard and there is no visual indication that monitoring  
is occurring. For example, Monitor could help the supervisor of a service department. The department super-

Music on Hold  
Music on Hold  
Description  
Callers can listen to music while waiting for their call to go through.  
Music on Hold (MOH) plays music to calls on Hold, parked calls, and transferred calls. The music lets the  
caller know that their call is waiting, not forgotten. Without Music on Hold, the system provides silence to  
these types of calls. Music on Hold is available from one of four sources: two internal beep tones and two  
audio input minijacks (which in turn connect to a customer-provided external music source.  
With Music on Hold enabled, transferred callers can optionally listen to ringback or MOH while their call  
waits at the transfer destination.  
Operation  
Music on Hold is automatic once enabled.

Names for Extensions and Lines  
Names for Extensions and Lines  
Description  
Names help identify lines and extensions.  
Extensions and lines can have names instead of just circuit numbers. These names show on a keyset’s dis-  
play when the user places or answers calls. Extension and line names make it easier to identify callers. The  
user does not have to refer to a directory when processing calls. Extension and line names can consist of  
upper and lower case letters, spaces and punctuation, and can be up to 18 characters long.  
Extension names display when placing or answering Intercom calls. Line names display when using the fol-  
lowing features:

Night Service / Night Ring  
Night Service / Night Ring  
Description  
Use Night Service to reroute calls after hours.  
Night Service redirects outside calls to their night mode destination. Typically, the attendant or supervisor  
activates Night Service after normal working hours, when most employees are unavailable to answer calls.  
Lines can ring extensions directly at Night, providing specic answering points for Night Service calls. (For  
example, you can program lines to ring the security station at night.)  
To have outside lines ring the External Paging system (which users can answer by dialing a code), see Out-  
side Call Ringing Over External Page (page 116). To have the ringing call also activate the system relay, see  
Night Service Keys  
The night mode status of the system is controlled by the following 3 types of keys:  
Night Key Assigned as a System Night Key  
This type of key controls the night mode status of all Key Ring lines as well as all lines that are Direct  
Inward Lines (DILs) to Ring Group master numbers. The entry is 18 + CLEAR. Also see Direct Inward  
Night Key Assigned as a UCD Night Key  
This type of key controls the night mode status of all lines terminated to UCD Group master numbers. It  
has no affect on Key Ring lines or lines terminated to Ring Group master numbers. The entry is 18 +  
UCD Group master number.  
1
An Extension’s DND Key  
The DND key controls the night mode status of all lines that are DILs to the extension. In the day, the  
line rings the extension. When the user presses DND, the DILs ring their programmed night mode desti-  
nations. Also see Direct Inward Line (page 42).  
1. Do not use this option if you want lines to overow to voice mail. See Key Ring (page 94) instead.

Off-Hook Signaling  
Off-Hook Signaling  
Description  
Off-Hook Signaling helps important callers get through.  
When a user is busy on a call, Off-Hook Signaling indicates that another caller is trying to get through.  
Off-Hook Signaling helps important callers get through, without waiting in line for the called extension to  
become free. After the user hears the off-hook signal, they can use other system features (such as Hold or  
Park) to process their active call and then answer the waiting call.  
Off-Hook Signaling for Outside Calls  
While a keyset user is on a call, Off-Hook Signaling for outside calls can be:  
While on a handset call,  
- A ashing green Ring/Message lamp  
- A ashing red or green line/loop key  
- Muted off-hook ringing  
(While Off-Hook Signaling ringing is occurring, use Volume Up and Volume Down to adjust the vol-  
ume of ringing.)  
While on a handset or Handsfree call,  
- A ashing green line/loop key  
- Camp-On tones  
The following chart shows when the two types of Off-Hook Signaling occur. Note that Camp-On tones occur  
for an extension when they are the exclusive recipient of the call (such as a DIL).

that called them and dialed 2 to Camp-On. Turn to Call Waiting / Camp-On (page 28) for more on how to set  
this up. Off-hook ringing for Intercom calls is not available.  
Off-Hook Signaling for Hotline Calls  
While an extension is busy on a handset call, the system provides unique handling of Off-Hook Signaling for  
calls from their Hotline partner. This unique handling occurs when the Hotline partner calls the extension by  
rst pressing their Hotline key. The Off-Hook Signaling can be Camp-On tones or Voice Over. The default is  
Camp-On tones.

Paging  
Paging  
Description  
Use Paging to broadcast announcements or quickly locate co-workers.  
Paging lets extension users broadcast announcements to other keyset users and to external Paging speakers.  
Paging allows a user to locate a co-worker or make an announcement without calling each extension individ-  
ually. There are two types of Paging: Internal Paging and External Paging.  
Internal Paging  
Internal Paging allows extension users to broadcast announcements into 7 internal Paging Zones and All Call  
(all zone). When a user makes a zone page, the announcement broadcasts to all extensions assigned to the  
specied zone. If the user makes an All Call announcement, the announcement simultaneously broadcasts to  
extensions in all zones. All Call Paging automatically overrides any zone pages already in progress. A sys-  
tem timer can optionally limit the duration of Paging announcements.  
To simplify Paging access, a keyset can have Feature Keys assigned as Page keys.  
Paging Key Busy Lamp Indications  
When the key is:  
The zone is:  
Off  
Idle  
On (red)  
A co-worker is Paging into the assigned  
zone  
On (green)  
The extension user is Paging into the  
assigned zone.  
External Paging  
When a user pages into Internal All Call Page or Internal page Zone 1, the system simultaneously broadcasts  
the announcement into the External Paging Zone. Refer to the system’s Hardware Manual for installation  
details.  
Page Relay Control  
Page Relay Control allows an announcement broadcast into a Paging zone to activate a system relay. This relay  
is typically used to activate a customer-provided Paging amplier. You can assign these relays for Door Box  
strike control or Page Relay Control, but not both. If the system relay is programmed for Page Relay Control,  
and an extension or line is set up to ring over External Paging, the relay will activate when the extension or  
line rings.  
Outside Call Ringing Over External Page  
Line ringing can optionally broadcast over External Paging speakers. For each line, the Paging speakers can  
broadcast ringing for all calls ringing the line, for calls ringing only at night, or for delay ring calls. While a  
line rings External Paging, any extension user can dial a code (INTERCOM + *0) to pick up the call. If the  
system relay is programmed for Page Relay Control, and the line is set up to ring over External Paging,  
the relay will activate when the line rings.  
If Door Box chimes, ringing, and Background Music are all programmed to output over External Paging, the  
system uses the following broadcast priority:  
Paging  
Door Box chimes  
Ringing  
Background Music

Paging  
Note that External Paging can broadcast either extension ringing or line ringing, not both. In addition, Exter-  
nal Paging requires additional customer-provided equipment. Refer to the Hardware Manual that came with  
your system for more.  
Intercom Ring Over External Page  
An extension’s ringing can optionally broadcast over External Paging. If enabled, any type of call that rings  
the extension will broadcast over the Paging speakers. While an Intercom call rings External Paging, any  
extension user can dial a code (INTERCOM + *0) to pick up the call. If the system relay is programmed for  
Page Relay Control, and an extension is set up to ring over External Paging, the relay will activate when  
the extension rings.  
Door Chime Over External Page  
Door Box chimes can optionally broadcast over External Paging. While Door Box chimes broadcast over  
External Paging, any extension user can dial a code (INTERCOM + *0) to answer the Door Box. After  
answering, a keyset user can press a soft key or FLASH to control the Door Box relay.  
Background Music Over External Page  
Background Music (BGM) can optionally play over the External Paging speakers while Paging is idle. BGM  
will automatically turn off while Paging, ringing or Door Box chimes broadcast from the external zone, and  
restart when the external zone again becomes idle.  
Ring Over Page Volume Adjustment  
You can adjust the volume of ringing over the External Paging system. There are three volume adjustments: low  
(5), medium (6), and high (4). This adjustment does not affect the volume of Background Music or Door Chimes.

Park  
Park  
Description  
Park a call in orbit so a co-worker can pick it up. With Park, it is not necessary to locate a  
person to handle their calls.  
Park places an outside call in a waiting state (called a Park Orbit) so that an extension user may pick it up.  
There are two types of Park: System and Personal. Use System Park when you want to have the call wait in  
one of 10 system orbits (60-69). Personal Park allows you to Park a call at an extension so a co-worker can  
pick it up. After parking a call, a user can Page the person receiving the call and hang up. The paged party  
dials a code or presses a programmed System Park key to pick up the call. Many calls can be parked at the  
same extension, and are retrieved in LIFO (last-in, rst-out) order.  
A call parked in System Park Orbit for too long will recall the extension that initially parked it. The recall for  
System Park Orbits 68 and 69 is permanently xed at 5 minutes. If the recall remains unanswered, the call  
diverts to Key Ring.  
A call parked in Personal Park Orbit for too long will initially recall to the extension at which it is parked. If  
unanswered there, it recalls to the extension that parked the call. If still unanswered, it diverts to Key Ring.  
When an extension has System Park keys, the keys provide a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) for the orbit assigned  
to the key.  
Park Key Busy Lamp Indications  
When the key is:  
The Park orbit is:  
Off  
Idle  
On (red)  
A co-worker has parked a call in the orbit  
assigned to the key.  
Single wink on (green)  
The extension user has parked a call in the  
orbit assigned to the key.  
Distinctive Flash Rate on Recall  
Park recall features a distinctive ash rate for line keys (see the chart below). This allows the keyset exten-  
sion user to easily differentiate new calls that are ringing from Parked calls that are recalling.  
Distinctive Flash Rate on Park Recall

PBX / Centrex Compatibility  
PBX / Centrex Compatibility  
Description  
The DSX provides unique features when connected to a PBX or Centrex.  
PBX/Centrex Access Codes  
PBX Access Codes are the digits PBX extension users must dial to obtain outside lines. When the DSX is  
installed behind a PBX, users must dial these codes before the digits for their outside call. For example, if  
the PBX access code is 98, and the DSX user wants to reach 203-926-5400, they must dial 98-1-203-926-  
5400. Normally, DSX Toll Restriction and Forced Account Codes are applied to the digits dialed after the  
PBX Access Code. This is because any call dialed without the PBX access code is an internal PBX call, and  
usually won’t require the restrictions imposed by Forced Account Codes and Toll Restriction.  
Operation  
Operation is automatic when the feature is enabled in programming.

Prime Line Preference  
Prime Line Preference  
Description  
Get dial tone for a new outside or Intercom call just by lifting the handset.  
Prime Line Preference allows an extension user to place or answer a call by just lifting the handset. The user  
does not have to press a line key, loop key, or the INTERCOM key rst. This simplies handling calls. In  
programming, you designate a line key, loop key, the INTERCOM key, a line, or a Line Group as the exten-  
sion’s Prime Line. With a line key, loop key, line, or Line Group, the associated line (or lines) becomes your  
Prime Line. With the INTERCOM key, you get Intercom dial tone when you lift the handset. Any number of  
extensions can have the same Prime Line assignment.  
There are two types of Prime Line Preference: Idle Prime Line and Intercom Prime Line.  
Idle Prime Line  
Idle Prime Line lets a user place or answer a Prime Line call by just lifting the handset. An extension’s Idle  
Prime Line can be any line or Line Group, regardless of whether the extension has a line or loop key for the  
line or group.  
Idle Prime Line to any line or Line Group is also available at single line telephones.  
Intercom Prime Line  
With Intercom Prime Line, an idle extension user hears Intercom dial tone whenever they lift the handset or  
press SPEAKER. Intercom Prime Line may help the extension user that most often uses Intercom functions  
or calls co-workers. If an extension’s Busy Lamp Field is disabled (which is the default), the Feature Keys  
do not go into the DSS mode when the user lifts the handset.  
Prime Line vs. Ringing Line Preference  
Ringing Line Preference has priority over Prime Line. For example, an extension with Ringing Line Prefer-  
ence will answer a ringing line, not get dial tone on their Prime Line. In addition, a Ringing Prime Line will  
have priority over any other ringing line. The seize priority is as follows:  
• Ringing Prime Line  
• Ringing non-Prime Line  
• Prime Line

Privacy Release Groups  
Privacy Release Groups  
Description  
Quickly join in a co-worker’s outside call.  
You can program extensions into Privacy Release Groups to simplify sharing outside calls. Co-workers in  
the same Privacy Release Group can easily join another group member’s outside call just by pressing the  
busy line -key. The co-worker immediately joins in unannounced and uninvited. Privacy Release Groups are  
a quick alternative to Conference where control over the Conference is not required. In a Customer Service  
group, for example, a supervisor could just press a busy line key to monitor any agent’s call.  
If desired, an extension user can prevent other members of their Privacy Release Group from interrupting  
their active call. This ensures that group members will not interrupt condential calls.  
Any number of extensions can be in the same Privacy Release Group. However, an extension can only be in  
a single group. Members of the Group must have line keys and access to the lines they want to share.  
Privacy Release Groups utilizes a Conference circuit. The following table shows the Conference capacities:

Private Line  
Private Line  
Description  
You can have a line reserved exclusively for your own use.  
A Private Line is a line reserved for a keyset for placing and answering calls. A user with a Private Line  
knows when important calls are for them. Additionally, the user has their own line for placing calls that is  
not available to others in the system.  
There are three types of Private Lines:  
Incoming Only  
The keyset has a Private Line only for incoming calls. The user cannot place a call on the Private Line. A  
customer service representative may want an incoming only Private Line to be sure customers can  
always get through.  
Outgoing Only  
The keyset has a Private Line only for outgoing calls. The Private Line does not ring for incoming calls.  
A service dispatcher may want an outgoing only Private Line so they can always get in touch with eld  
technicians.  
Both Ways  
The keyset has a Private Line for both incoming and outgoing calls. An executive may want a both ways  
Private Line that is available only to them for placing and answering calls.  
You can optionally set up shared Private Lines between a group of co-workers that work closely together.

Pulse to Tone Conversion  
Pulse to Tone Conversion  
Description  
Use special services (such as telephone banking) over dial pulse lines.  
An extension can use Pulse to Tone Conversion while placing an outside call to change the dialing mode  
from dial pulse to DTMF. For a system in a dial pulse area, this permits users to access DTMF services (such  
as telephone banking) from their DP area. Pulse to tone conversion also helps dial pulse callers use another  
company’s automated attendant dialing options. The user can, for example:  
Place a call to their bank over a DP line.  
After the banking service answers, wait 6 seconds. (The system automatically converts dialing to DTMF.)  
Dial additional banking options.

Reverse Voice Over  
Reverse Voice Over  
Description  
Privately call a co-worker while you’re busy on your handset.  
While on a handset call, Reverse Voice Over lets a busy keyset user make a private Intercom call to an idle  
co-worker. The busy user just presses and holds down a programmed Reverse Voice Over key to make a pri-  
vate call to the assigned co-worker. The initial caller cannot hear the Reverse Voice Over conversation. The  
private Intercom call continues until the Reverse Voice Over caller releases the key again. The initial handset  
call can be an outside call or an Intercom call. An extension can have Reverse Voice Over keys for more than  
one co-worker.  
Reverse Voice Over could help a salesperson, for example, when placing a call to an important client. The  
salesperson can talk with the client and give special instructions to an assistant — without interrupting the  
initial call.  
When the keyset is idle, the Reverse Voice Over key functions the same as a Hotline key. The key also shows  
at a glance the status of the associated extension:

1Ringing Line Preference will not answer a call ringing the Operator Call Key.  
When multiple calls ring an extension simultaneously, the system services the ringing calls in the follow-  
ing order:  
1. INTERCOM Key  
2. Line Key (from lowest to highest)  
3. Loop Key (from lowest to highest)  
In addition, if two extensions with Ringing Line Preference answer the same outside call simultaneously, the  
system connects the call to the lowest numbered extension.  
Prime Line vs. Ringing Line Preference  
Ringing Line Preference has priority over Prime Line. For example, an extension with Ringing Line Prefer-  
ence will answer a ringing line, not get dial tone on their Prime Line. In addition, a ringing Prime Line will  
have priority over any other ringing line. The seize priority is as follows:  
Ringing Prime Line  
Ringing non-Prime Line

Save Number Dialed  
Save Number Dialed  
Description  
Save the number you just dialed for quick redialing.  
Save Number Dialed permits an extension user to save their last outside number and easily redial it later on.  
For example, an extension user can recall a busy or unanswered number without manually dialing the digits.  
The system retains the saved number until the user stores a new one in its place.  
Save Number Dialed saves in system memory a dialed number up to 20 digits. The system remembers the  
digits regardless of whether the call was answered, unanswered or busy. The system normally uses the same  
line as for the initial call. However, if that line is busy and is part of a Line Group, Save Number Dialed will  
automatically select the next line in the group.  
Save Number Dialed requires a uniquely programmed Feature Key on the extension or DSS Console.  
Operation  
In these instructions:  
[Super Display Soft Key]  
[Keyset Soft Key]  
Using Save Number Dialed  
To save the outside number you just dialed (up to 32 digits):

Selectable Display Messaging  
Selectable Display Messaging  
Description  
While you’re away from the phone, callers can receive personalized text messages you set up.  
An extension user can select a pre programmed Selectable Display Message for their extension. Keyset call-  
ers see the selected message when they call the user’s extension. Selectable Display Messaging provides per-  
sonalized text messaging. For example, an extension user could select the message “GONE FOR THE  
DAY.” Any keyset user calling the extension would see the message. Other than displaying the message, the  
system puts the call though normally.  
The are 16 Selectable Display Messages (01-16) set up in system programming. Messages 01-09 are preset  
by default, but can be changed to meet the site requirements. Messages 10-16 are initially undened. Any  
message can be appended by the extension user. For example, a user could select message 09 (OUT UNTIL)  
and append the time they are expected back (e.g., 5:00). The total length of the message plus any user  
appended entries cannot exceed 18. Selectable Display Messages cannot begin with numbers.

Speed Dial  
Speed Dial  
Description  
Instead of dialing a long telephone number to reach a client or customer, use Speed Dial  
instead. Also, store Intercom digits for quick access to commonly used features.  
Speed Dial gives an extension user quick access to frequently called numbers. There are two types of Speed  
Dial: System and Personal. Speed Dial numbers can be up to 32 digits long, using 0-9, # and *. Every Speed  
Dial can have a programmed name up to 18 characters long. The name shows in the telephone display as the  
Speed Dial number dials out.  
Speed Dial can store outside numbers and Intercom digits. The capability to store Intercom digits provides  
the user with “one-touch” access to features they use most often. For example, a user can have a Speed Dial  
bin that simplies forwarding calls to voice mail or a co-worker.  
System Speed Dial  
System Speed Dial gives every extension access to the same set of stored numbers. The system provides 999  
System Speed Dial numbers. Users can access these numbers by pressing a uniquely programmed System  
Speed Dial Feature Key or by dialing the Speed Dial bin number. Depending on the system option selected  
(see Programming below), users have dial access to either 9, 99 or 999 System Speed Dial bins.  
Personal Speed Dial  
Personal Speed Dial provides extensions with 20 numbers stored privately for their own use. The Personal  
Speed Dial keys on a DSS Console access the same bins as the extension to which it is attached.  
Unique Speed Dial Entries  
In addition to the digits 0-9, # and *, you can enter the following for additional dialing options:  
From system programming,  
press this key:  
From user programming,  
press this key:  
For this option:  
FLASH  
DND  
Flash  
Wait (not used)  
Pause  
Feature Key 1  
Feature Key 2  
Feature Key 3  
MUTE  
Storing Line Routing in a Speed Dial Bin  
When you program a Speed Dial bin, you can select either a line or a Line Group over which the call should  
route. For example, you can enter 1 for line 1 or 90 for Line Group 90.  
If you enter a Line Group number, the system will follow the Line Group programming and select an  
available line in the group for the call.  
If you enter a line number and the line is busy when the Speed Dial bin tries to dials out, the user hears  
busy tone. If their extension has Line Queuing, they can dial 2 to queue for a line to become free. If they  
hang up, the system converts the queue to a Line Callback.  
The capability to dial 90-98 to select a Line Group for a Speed Dial call is a permanent feature and not  
affected by programming.  
Centrex Compatibility  
Speed Dial offers unique compatibility with connected Centrex services. A Speed Dial number can accom-  
modate both placing a new call and outdialing the stored Speed Dial number on an active Centrex line. This  
enables features such as Centrex Transfer and Conference. Speed Dial adheres to the following rules.  
1. When a user active on an outside call presses TRANSFER and selects a Speed Dial number (using any  
method), the system examines the contents of the stored Speed Dial bin.  
2. If the rst entry in the bin is an F (Flash command), the system ashes the connected line and outdials  
the contents of the bin (ignoring the line selection associated with the bin).

Speed Dial  
Note that this unique Centrex integration also pertains to voice mail ports accessing stored Speed Dial numbers.  
Chaining Bins for Dialing Long Numbers  
A Speed Dial number can be up to 32 digits long. The system allows this by automatically using the next  
adjacent bin for entries longer than 16 digits. For example, assume you want to store a Personal Speed Dial  
number for a banking service (203-926 5400) followed by a pause and your 10 digit customer code  
(9876543210). If you store the entries in bin 701, the following occurs:  
The system stores the rst 16 digits (203 926 5400 Pause 98765) in bin 701.  
The system stores the remaining digits (43210) in bin 702.  
Chaining Notes:  
In the above example, bin 702 is inaccessible for viewing, programming, or dialing. It only becomes  
available if you reprogram bin 701 to be 16 digits or less.  
Since bin 720 is the last Personal Speed Dial bin, it can contain only 16 digits.

Transfer  
Transfer  
Description  
Send the outside call you are on to a co-worker.  
Transfer permits an extension user to send (i.e., extend) an active call to any other extension in the system,  
a Ring Group, UCD Group or voice mail. With Transfer, any extension user can quickly send a call to the  
desired co-worker. A call a user transfers automatically recalls if not picked up at the destination exten-  
sion. If a transferred outside call is still unanswered, the call diverts to Key Ring. This assures that users do  
not lose or inadvertently abandon their transfers. An extension user can Transfer both outside calls and  
Intercom calls.  
The system allows the following types of transfers:  
Screened Transfer  
The transferring user announces the call to the destination before hanging up.  
Unscreened Transfer  
The transferring party extends the call without an announcement.  
Distinctive Flash Rate on Recall  
Transfer recall features a distinctive ash rate for line keys (see the chart below). This allows the keyset  
extension user to easily differentiate new calls that are ringing from transferred calls that are recalling.  
Distinctive Flash Rate onTransfer Recall  
For this type of call:  
You see this ash rate:  
Call that you transferred  
Slow Flash (red)  
Call that you initially transferred  
recalling your phone  
Double Wink On (green)  
Transfer Recall Display  
The Transfer recall display occurs as the call is ringing the extension that initially transferred it as well as  
after the call diverts to Key Ring. It identies:  
The type of call recalling the extension.  
The extension to which the call was initially transferred.  
Handsfree Transfer  
Handsfree Transfer allows an extension user to Transfer an outside call directly to a co-worker’s speakerphone.  
Hotline Automatic Transfer  
With Hotline Automatic Transfer, the extension can Transfer their call to a co-worker just by pressing their  
Hotline key and hanging up. Without Hotline Automatic Transfer, the user must pressTRANSFER before  
pressing the Hotline key. If the user frequently uses their Hotline key for one-button Transfer to co-workers,  
Hotline Automatic Transfer is recommended. If the user prefers to consult with their Hotline partner rather  
than Transfer, disabling Hotline Automatic Transfer would be helpful.  
• Pressing TRANSFER + Call Coverage Key can Transfer a call to an uninstalled extension’s mailbox  
(if the mailbox is enabled).  
• Pressing a Hotline key can also Transfer a call to an uninstalled extension’s mailbox (if the mailbox is  
enabled).

Voice Mail  
Voice Mail  
Description  
Voice mail ends the frustration and cost of missed calls, inaccurate written messages and  
telephone tag, freeing up the company’s receptionists and secretaries for more production work.  
The system is fully compatible with IntraMail, UltraMail, and NVM-Series Voice Mail with Automated  
Attendant Systems. These systems provide telephone users with comprehensive voice mail and Automated  
Attendant features. Automated Attendant automatically answers the system’s incoming calls. After listening  
to a customized message, an outside caller can dial a system extension or use voice mail. When installing  
voice mail, refer to the documentation provided with your voice mail system for the specics.  
Integrated voice mail enhances the telephone system with the following features:  
Call Forwarding to Voice Mail  
An extension user can forward their calls to voice mail. Once forwarded, calls to the extension connect to  
that extension’s mailbox. The caller can leave a message in the mailbox instead of calling back later. For-  
warding can occur for all calls immediately, for unanswered calls or when the extension is busy, or just for  
unanswered calls.  
Leaving a Message  
Voice mail lets a keyset extension user easily leave a message at an extension that is unanswered, busy, or in  
Do Not Disturb. The caller just presses V-MAIL to leave a message in the called extension’s mailbox. There  
is no need to call back later.  
Transferring to Voice Mail  
By using Transfer to Voice Mail, an extension user can Transfer a call to the user’s own or a co-worker’s  
mailbox. After the Transfer goes through, the caller can leave a message in the mailbox. The caller will hear  
the entire mailbox greeting after the Transfer goes through.  
Conversation Record  
While on a call, an extension user can have voice mail record the conversation. The keyset user just presses  
their Record key. Once recorded, the voice mail stores the conversation as a new message in the user’s mail-  
box. After calling their mailbox, a user can save, edit or delete the recorded conversation. The ability to use  
Conversation Record is controlled by an extension’s Class of Service.  
Caution  
The use of monitoring, recording, or listening devices to eavesdrop, monitor, retrieve, or record telephone  
conversations or other sound activities, whether or not contemporaneous with transmission, may be ille-  
gal in certain circumstances under federal or state laws. Legal advice should be sought prior to imple-  
menting any practice that monitors or records any telephone conversation. Some federal and state laws  
require some form of notication to all parties to a telephone conversation, such as using a beep tone or  
other notication methods or requiring the consent of all parties to the telephone conversation, prior to  
monitoring or recording the telephone conversation.Some of these laws incorporate strict penalties.  
Conversation Record Key for a Co-worker’s Mailbox  
An extension user can have a Record key for a co-worker’s mailbox. While on a call, the user can press the  
key to record their conversation directly into the co-worker’s mailbox. The user can set up the Record key to  
record into any valid Subscriber Mailbox (including IntraMail Group Mailboxes and Master Mailboxes pro-  
grammed as Subscriber Mailboxes). This could help a dispatcher, for example, that wants to record a conver-  
sation with a client right into the responsible technician’s mailbox.  
An extension can have multiple Record keys, each associated with a different mailbox. In addition, setting  
up a Record key for a co-worker’s mailbox is also available on DSS Consoles.

Voice Mail  
Personal Answering Machine Emulation  
Refer to Call Screening (page 453). You may nd that Call Screening better meets your requirements.  
A keyset user can have their idle extension emulate a personal answering machine. This lets voice mail  
screen their calls, just like their answering machine at home. If activated, the extension’s incoming calls  
route to the user’s Subscriber Mailbox. Once the mailbox answers, the user hears the caller’s incoming mes-  
sage. The keyset user can then:  
Let the call go through to their mailbox.  
Intercept the call before it goes to their mailbox.  
Personal Answering Machine Emulation will intercept the following types of calls:  
Intercom calls  
Direct Inward Lines to the extension  
Automated Attendant Unscreened Transfers  
Automated Attendant Screened Transfers  
Personal Answering Machine Emulation will not intercept a call manually transferred to an extension.  
Voice Mail Overow  
Voice mail can be the overow destination for the following types of calls (refer to the individual features for  
the specics):  
A line that directly rings an extension can overow to voice mail.  
A line that rings an Extension Hunting group can overow to voice mail.  
A line that rings a group of extensions can overow to voice mail.  
A line ringing an extension’s line keys can overow to voice mail.  
Message Center Mailbox  
A Message Center Mailbox is a mailbox shared by more than one extension. Any keyset that has a Message  
Center Key for the shared mailbox can:  
Listen to the messages stored in the mailbox.  
Transfer calls to the shared mailbox.  
Use many other voice mail features previously available only at an extension’s individual mailbox.  
A Message Center Mailbox helps co-workers that work together closely - such as members of the same  
Pickup Group. For example, the group supervisor can send important messages to the shared Message Cen-  
ter Mailbox, to which any group member can respond when time allows. Each group member’s Message  
Center Key ashes (green) when messages are waiting.  
Interactive Soft Key Shows New Messages  
The Display and Super Display Telephone interactive soft keys show the number of new messages in the  
user’s mailbox. For example, if a Display Telephone user has 2 new messages in their mailbox, their voice  
mail soft key shows: VM02. If a Super Display Telephone user has 2 new messages in their mailbox, their  
voice mail soft key shows V-Mail 02. The new message count resets to 00 as soon as the user calls their mail-  
box (regardless of whether the new messages were listened to). The message count returns when the system  
updates the Ring/Message lamp on the phone.  
• Pressing TRANSFER + Call Coverage Key can Transfer a call to an uninstalled extension’s mailbox  
(if the mailbox is enabled).  
• Pressing a Hotline key can also Transfer a call to an uninstalled extension’s mailbox (if the mailbox is  
enabled).

Voice Over  
Voice Over  
Description  
Get through to a co-worker busy on a handset call — without interrupting their call.  
Voice Over lets a user get through to a keyset extension user busy on a handset call. With Voice Over, the  
busy keyset extension user hears an alert tone followed by the voice of the interrupting party. The keyset  
extension user can respond to the interrupting party without being heard by the original caller. If desired, the  
keyset extension user can easily switch between their original caller and the interrupting co-worker. The  
original caller and the interrupting party can never hear each other’s conversation.  
Voice Over could help a lawyer, for example, waiting for an urgent call. While on a call with another client, the  
lawyer’s paralegal could announce the urgent call as soon as it comes in. The lawyer could then give the para-  
legal instructions on how to handle the situation — all without the original client hearing the conversation.  
Either a keyset or SLT can initiate a Voice Over, but only a keyset can receive a Voice Over.  
Voice Over uses a system Conference circuit. The following table shows the system’s Conference capacities:

Volume, Brightness, and Contrast Controls  
Volume, Brightness, and Contrast Controls  
Description  
Easily adjust the volume of ringing, Paging, and other features.  
A keyset user can press Volume Up and Volume Down to interactively adjust the volume of the following  
features while they are active:  
Intercom handset calls  
Intercom Handsfree calls  
Outside handset calls  
Outside Handsfree calls  
Paging receive volume  
Background Music  
Ringing  
Off-Hook Ringing  
There are nine steps in the Volume Control adjustment range. This makes it easier for the keyset user to set  
up just the right volume levels. The settings a user makes are retained after a system reset or power-down.  
Volume Control Presets  
The volume control presets allow the keyset user to preset the default volume for Ringing, Off-Hook Ring-  
ing, and incoming Page announcements while their telephone is idle. Presets for the remaining volume con-  
trols are not required since the user can easily adjust those volumes while idle. For example, to adjust the  
volume of Background Music, just press HOLD to active BGM and then adjust the volume.  
Display Brightness and Contrast Control  
While a keyset is idle, pressing Volume Up or Volume Down adjusts the contrast of the display. There are  
eight user-selectable contrast control values. The value a user sets is “remembered” by the system and auto-  
matically restored in the event of a power down or system reset.  
The brightness and contrast control presets let the keyset user preset the default active brightness, idle  
brightness, and contrast for their keyset display. The brightness presets are not available to a 24-button key-  
set since it doesn’t offer a backlit display.

Walking Class of Service  
Walking Class of Service  
Description  
An extension user can temporarily use their Toll Restriction and Class of Service options at a  
co-worker’s phone.  
Walking Class of Service allows an extension user to temporarily implement their Toll Restriction and Class  
of Service settings at a co-worker’s keyset. This is normally used to override dialing restrictions at a tele-  
phone. For example, an executive with an unrestricted phone can walk to any keyset in the building, imple-  
ment Walking Class of Service, and dial without restriction. After the keyset goes idle, Walking Class of  
Service remains in effect for 10 seconds. This permits the user to make multiple calls before the keyset  
returns to its normal restrictions.  
Walking Class of Service and Extension Locking  
Walking Class of Service overrides Extension Locking. For example:  
Extension 301 is permitted by their Class of Service and Toll Restriction to use Paging and place long  
distance calls.  
Extension 306 locks their extension. While locked, Class of Service 15 prevents Paging and Toll Level 7  
prevents long distance calls. These features are no longer available at extension 306.  
The extension 301 user goes to extension 306 and implements Walking Class of Service.  
The extension 301 user can then use 306 to make long distance calls and Page (even though 306 was  
locked to prevent those features).
