REN Information: The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be
connected to the same telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to incoming call. In most, but not all areas,
the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices
that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local
telephone company.
Repair Instructions: If you experience trouble because your equipment is
malfunctioning, the FCC requires that you disconnect the equipment from the network
and not use it until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this equipment can only
be made by the manufacturer, its authorized agents, or by others who may be
authorized by the FCC. In the event repairs are needed on this equipment, please

Industry Canada (IC) Notification and Repair Information
The Industry Canada (IC) label identifies certified equipment. This certification means
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational,
and safety requirements. The IC does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the
user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that is permissible to connect it to
the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s
inside wiring for single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the
user to this equipment, or any equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users, for their own protection, should ensure that the electrical ground connections of
the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are
connected. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
!
CAUTION:
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or electrician, as
appropriate.

Renseignements sur la notification du ministère des
Industrie Canada et la réparation
L’étiquette du Ministère des Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette
étiquette certifie que le matériel est conformé à certaines normes de protection,
d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications. Le Ministère n’assure
toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder
aux installations de l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit
également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée. Dans certains cas, les fils
intérieurs de l’enterprise utilisés pour un service individuel à ligne unique peuvent être
prolongés au moyen d’un dispositif homologué de raccordement (cordon prolongateur
téléphonique interne). L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité
aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêchent pas la dégradation du service dans
certaines situations. Actuellement, les entreprises de télécommunication ne permettent
pas que l’on raccorde leur matériel à des jacks d’abonné, sauf dans les cas précis
prévus pas les tarifs particuliers de ces entreprises.
Les réparations du matériel homologué doivent être effectuées par un centre
d’entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de
télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite
de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause d‘un mauvais
fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre
de la source d’énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau
métalliques, s’il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement
importante dans les régions rurales.
!
AVERTISSEMENT:
L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir
recours à un service d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien,
selon le cas.
L’indice de charge (IC) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal, indique, pour éviter toute
surcharge, le pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être raccordée a un circuit
téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif. La terminaison du circuit boucié peut être
constituée de n’importe quelle combinaison de dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des
indices de charge de l’ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.
No d’homolagation: Voir l’étiquette sur le côté de l’unité de contrôle.
No de certification CSA: LR 60486
Indice de charge: 7

Overview
Configurations
The system can have one of three basic configurations, all of which must be
wall-mounted:
■
■
■
Stand-alone PARTNER ACS processor module. This configuration does
not use a carrier.
2-Slot Carrier, which can hold up to two modules. The PARTNER ACS
processor module resides in the leftmost slot.
5-Slot Carrier, which can hold up to five modules. The PARTNER ACS
processor module resides in the center slot. This carrier includes a cover.
In either carrier, one and only one of the modules must be a PARTNER ACS
processor module. The modules slide into the carrier, which channels power to
the system.
System Modules
The following system modules can be installed in your system:
■
PARTNER ACS Processor Module provides the software intelligence that
controls the system’s features. It has jacks for three outside lines, eight
enhanced Tip/Ring extensions, a music-on-hold audio source, a
loudspeaker paging system, a grounding screw, a jack that supports an
adjunct for two Contact Closures, and a call reporting (SMDR) device, such
as a printer. It also has two PC Card slots, a bicolor red and green
light-emitting diode (LED), and two AAA user-replaceable batteries. The
module also provides support for integrated Caller ID information on
system display phones. The system requires one PARTNER ACS
processor module.
■
■
200 Module has two outside line jacks, but no extension jacks. This
module is an inexpensive way to add lines when you do not need more
extensions.
206E Module has jacks to connect a maximum of two outside telephone
lines and six extensions to the system. You can connect telephones and
other telecommunications devices (such as fax machines and modems) to
the extension jacks (either directly or through your building’s modular wall
jacks). Each 206E module has a green power indicator that shows it is
receiving power.

206EC/400EC Modules provide the same capabilities as the 206E and
400E modules, respectively, but add support for Caller ID information on
system display phones. To get Caller ID, first you must subscribe to the
service from your local phone company (if it is available) on a per-line
basis, then connect those lines associated with Caller ID to the line jacks
on the 206EC and/or 400EC modules. Any users with system display
phones who receive calls on Caller ID lines will get Caller ID. For more

extensions. Using combinations of modules, you can have a maximum of
40 extensions with 15 lines (one ACS processor module and four 308EC
modules) or 19 lines with eight extensions (one ACS processor module and
four 400 modules). To get Caller ID, first you must subscribe to the service
from your local phone company (if it is available) on a per-line basis, then
connect those lines associated with Caller ID to the line jacks on the

phones who receive calls on Caller ID lines will get Caller ID. For more
Hereafter, references to 206 modules include 206E, 206EC, and all 206 modules
used with previous releases of the PARTNER product line. Similarly, references to
400 modules include 400E, 400EC, and all 400 modules used with previous
releases of the PARTNER product line. Any 200 modules can also be used.
If you want message-waiting capability on standard phones that are equipped with
LED-compatible message-waiting lights, you must connect those phones to
extension jacks on a PARTNER ACS processor module, a 308EC module, or on
Release 3.0 (R3.0) or later 206 modules.

Overview
System Batteries
The system uses two user-replaceable AAA-size standard alkaline batteries in the
PARTNER ACS processor module to ensure that system programming and
telephone programming settings are not lost in case of a power failure. See
PC Card Slots
The PARTNER ACS processor module has two PCMCIA (Personal Computer
Memory Card International Association) interface slots (hereafter referred to as
PC Card slots). You can buy PC Cards to use in these slots for the following
purposes:
■
Use a Backup and Restore PC Card to backup or restore telephone and
system programming.
■
Upgrade from PARTNER ACS Release 1.0 to Release 1.1 or Release 2.0
or later using a PC Upgrade card. After powering down the system, you
insert the PC Upgrade Card and turn the power back on. While the system
upgrades, the bicolor (red/green) power LED on the processor flashes
green and red alternately. When the upgrade is finished (in about 20
seconds), the power LED becomes steady green. All of your system and
extension programming will be saved and ready to work with the new
release.
NOTE:
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card which
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA
Card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS
to Release 3.0.
!
WARNING:
Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating an upgrade.
■
■
Use a PC Card to store Automatic System Answer and Direct Extension
Dial messages. You can insert the card in either PC Card Slot 1 or PC Card
Slot 2 of the ACS Processor Module Release 2.0 or later.
For PARTNER ACS Release 1.1 or later, use a PARTNER Voice
Messaging PC Card to provide messaging features (store personal
greeting and store and retrieve callers’ messages) for up to four mailboxes.

System Mode
The system supports two modes of operation. The mode of operation determines
how users access outside lines from their phones:
■
Key Mode. Users access individual outside lines to make and receive
calls.
■
Hybrid Mode. For 2.0 or later, users can access individual outside lines as
in Key mode. However, you also can create up to four groups, or pools, of
multiple outside lines. When the user accesses a pool to make a call, the
system selects an available line from the pool. Since multiple lines are
associated with the pool, the user does not know which line within the pool
is being used to make the call.
System mode is determined by the configuration of the processor module. By
default, the system is configured for Key mode. Changing to Hybrid mode requires
modifying the processor module. Only Lucent Technologies Authorized Personnel
can modify the processor module to accommodate Hybrid mode.
The mode for your system must be decided upon before installation, and in the
continental U.S., the mode must be registered with the Federal Communications
1-11

Overview
Key Mode
When the system operates in Key mode, individual outside lines are assigned to
users’ extensions for making and receiving calls. At extensions with system
phones, each individual line (Line 1, Line 2, Line 3, etc.) assigned to the extension
is represented by its own line button. Users can press any of the available line
buttons on their system phones to make outside calls. (Standard phone users
must dial 9 at intercom dial tone to make an outside call since their phones do not
have line buttons.)
Key mode enables users to easily join calls since each line button can be labeled
using a unique line number. For example, if you are requested to join a call on
Line 2, you simply press the line button labeled “Line 2.” Key mode also lets users
monitor call activity using the lights next to the line button—everyone who has a
specific line assigned to their extension can tell when an incoming call is ringing
on that line, when a call on that line is on hold, and when that line is in use.
At installation, the system assigns outside lines to the buttons on all system
phones from left to right, starting with the bottom row of buttons. On an extension
basis, you can change which lines are assigned and which buttons are used to
select the lines, if desired.
All extensions in a system configured for Key mode are referred to as key
extensions.
Hybrid Mode
Hybrid mode offers users flexibility in accessing outside lines from their phones.
As in Key mode, individual lines can be assigned to system extensions.
Additionally, multiple outside lines can be grouped together in pools. The system
can have up to four pools, including a main pool and three auxiliary pools. Each
pool is identified by a pool access code —880, 881, 882, and 883 respectively.
Pools are represented on system phones by pool buttons. Unlike line buttons, pool
buttons give users access to multiple lines from a single button. Each auxiliary
pool is associated with only one pool button. Since the main pool typically
contains most of your company’s outside lines, it is associated with two pool
buttons. This setup allows the user to place a call using one of the main pool
buttons, put that call on hold, and make another call using the second main pool
button. Or, the user can establish a conference call using lines in the main pool.
The main pool and each auxiliary pool can be assigned to an extension, for a
maximum of five pool buttons.
System phone users can press any of the available pool buttons on their phones
or they can enter the pool access code at intercom dial tone to make an outside
call. (Standard phone users must dial 9 or enter the pool access code at intercom
dial tone to access a pool since their phones do not have pool buttons.) After the
user presses a pool button or enters a pool access code, the system selects a free
line from the pool for the user to make the call. A user can access a pool as long
as there is at least one available line in the pool.

System Components
A major benefit of Hybrid mode is that it allows users who have system phones
with fewer buttons to have access to multiple outside lines and various types of
pools. You can make efficient use of outside lines by grouping those of a similar
type or function together. For example, you can create an auxiliary pool of WATS
or international lines and assign the pools to different groups of users.
Additionally, individual lines can be assigned to a manager’s extension so that he
or she always has access to an outside line.
In Hybrid mode, extension 10 always operates like an extension in Key mode. This
means that every outside line in the system is associated with a specific line
button at extension 10.
All other extensions can be set up with access to only lines, only pools, or a
combination of lines and pools:
■
Those extensions that have pool buttons, even if they also have individual
line buttons, are called pooled extensions.
■
Those extensions that have only line buttons (including extension 10) are
called key extensions. Key extensions cannot access pools.
If your system is configured for Hybrid mode, keep in mind:
■
■
■
A line can be assigned to only one pool.
Individual extensions can be restricted access to specific pools.
Individual lines can be assigned to an extension with pool buttons as long
as the lines are not part of any pool.
At installation, the system assigns all outside lines to the main pool and assigns
the main pool to the two leftmost buttons on the bottom row of all system phones,
except extension 10. If desired, you can remove some of the lines from the main
pool and create auxiliary pools. Then, you can assign pools and/or individual lines
on a per extension basis.
FCC Registration
In the continental U.S., your system’s mode of operation must be registered with
the FCC as either KF (Key Function) for Key or MF (Multifunction) for Hybrid. If the
system is registered as KF, no outside lines can be pooled; if the system is
registered as MF, lines can be pooled and individual lines also can be assigned
directly to line buttons.

Telephones
System Telephones
This guide refers to Lucent Technologies telephones specifically designed to work
with the system as system phones. These include the PARTNER-34D,
PARTNER-18D, PARTNER-18, and PARTNER-6 telephones. You can also use
MLS-34D, MLS-18D, MLS-12D, MLS-12, MLS-6, MLC-6, and the TransTalk©
9000-series wireless phones, including MDW 9000, MDW 9010, MDW 9030P and
MDW 9031P. Pocketphone, although they are not discussed in this guide. For
information about an MLS-model, MLC-model, or TransTalk 9000-series phone,
refer to the documentation that came with the phone.
System phones have several buttons in common: volume control buttons and the
f, C, A, h,! and S buttons. In addition, each phone has
programmable buttons that can be used for outside lines, pools, extension
numbers, outside phone numbers, or system features. Outside lines and pools, as
well as some system features, require buttons with status lights. Programmable
buttons without lines or pools assigned to them can be programmed with numbers
or features, so you can use the feature or dial the number with one touch. The
number in each PARTNER-model name indicates the number of programmable
buttons with status lights and two i buttons.
If the PARTNER-model phone has a display, indicated by a “D” in the model name,
users receive messages and prompts when making calls and when programming.
phone is required for system programming.
Valid system extensions depend on which release of PARTNER ACS you have.
Release 1.x extensions are 10 – 41. Release 2.x or later extensions are 10 – 49.
Throughout this guide, all references to “system extensions” are within these
release-dependent ranges.
Valid system lines also depend on which release of PARTNER ACS you are using.
With System 1.x, system line capacities are 01 to 15. With Release 2.0 or later,
system line capacities are 01 to 19. Throughout this guide, all references to
“system lines” are within these release-dependent ranges.

Overview
Intercom Autodialers
PARTNER-model system phones support the PARTNER-CA48 Call Assistant
Intercom Autodialer at extensions 10 and 11. The autodialer provides Auto Dial
buttons for all of the extensions in your system. The status lights next to each
button also indicate calling activity at that extension. Users can program the Auto
Dial buttons for either intercom ringing, voice signaling, or manual signaling. (Note
that each user can have only one Auto Dial button—either on the system phone or
on the autodialer—for another extension in the system.) The Auto Dial buttons
allow the user to dial, signal, or transfer calls to system extensions with one touch.
Standard Telephones
You can also use industry-standard single-line rotary or touch-tone telephones,
including feature phones with built-in feature buttons and lights, with the system.
This guide refers to such telephones as standard phones. Lucent
Technologies-certified standard phones are recommended.
The following Lucent Technologies phones can make use of the system’s
message-waiting capability:

NOTE:
For message waiting capability, you must connect standard phones with
LED-compatible message-waiting lights, to a PARTNER ACS processor
module, 308EC module, or to Release 3.0 (R3.0) or later 206 modules. This
message-waiting capability does not work with standard phones with

single-line devices will work with the system regardless, of the manufacturer.
advice on setting up auxiliary equipment to work effectively with the system.
Requirements
An industry-standard device must meet the following conditions:
■
It must be nonproprietary; that is, it cannot be made specifically for use on
a particular telephone system. (For example, you cannot connect a Lucent
Technologies MERLIN LEGEND® Communication System phone because
it is specifically designed for use on a MERLIN LEGEND Communication
System.)
■
■
Its Ringer Equivalence Number (REN1) cannot be greater than 2.0. (The
REN is shown on a label on the device, usually on the bottom.)
You can connect a standard two-line device to the system, but for best
results it should be installed and used as if it were a single-line device.
Connecting Standard Devices
You can connect a standard device so that it is on an extension by itself, or so that
it shares an extension with another piece of equipment (either another standard
device or a system phone) as long as the REN of the two devices together does
not exceed 2.0. (System phones have 0.0 REN.) For example, you can connect a
standard phone and an answering machine to the same extension. An extension
with two devices connected to it is called a combination extension. You cannot
connect two system phones on one extension. The PARTNER Advanced
Communications System Installation guide provides installation instructions.

REN is a measure of the power it takes to ring a phone. The typical home phone line
supports 4.0–5.0 RENs; each extension jack in your system handles up to 2.0 RENs.

Programming
Overview
After the system hardware is installed, you can customize the system and
individual telephones. This chapter explains how to use programming to
accomplish that.
There are two types of programming:
■
needs of your business. When the system is first installed, it uses factory
settings that reflect the most commonly used options. You can change
system settings as needed.
You can perform System Programming from either extension 10 or 11.
Because an extension cannot be in programming mode and handle calls at
the same time, consider using extension 11 for programming. Doing so
gives you the ability to program without disrupting call handling by the
receptionist at extension 10.
■
individual users’ needs. Individual telephones can be programmed either
from extension 10 or 11 (Centralized Telephone Programming), or from a
user’s extension using a system phone (Extension Programming).
A system display phone is required for System and Centralized Telephone
Programming. If you have any 34-button phones in the system, you must use a
34-button display phone to program since an 18-button phone cannot be used to
program a 34-button phone. Also, if your system has both PARTNER-model and
MLS-model phones, it is recommended that you use a PARTNER-model display
phone at the programming extension.

This chapter provides general information about programming procedures. When
a specific feature name is used, it is printed in bold type. For detailed descriptions
Quick Reference is provided at the end of this book.)
Hardware Considerations
Programming procedures use line and extension numbers. The line number
represents the line jack on a 200, 206, 308EC, or 400 module or an ACS
processor module to which the outside line is connected. Similarly, the extension
number represents the extension jack on a 206 or 308EC module or an ACS
processor module to which the system phone or standard device is connected.
For the 200 module, the system assigns two lines.
For each 206 module, the system assigns two lines and six extensions; for the
308EC or ACS processor module, the system assigns three lines and eight
extensions; for each 400 module, the system assigns four lines. The system
numbers lines and extensions consecutively from left to right in a 2-Slot carrier,
beginning with the ACS processor module in the leftmost slot; in a 5-Slot carrier,
the numbering also begins with the ACS processor module (in the center slot),

Programming
Initial System Setup
After the control unit is installed, you set up the system using a combination of
system and telephone programming procedures. In this guide, System
Programming procedures are identified by a code (# and three digits); Telephone
Programming procedures are identified by the feature name only.
Use the System Planner as a guide when programming. The following sections
provide an overview of the procedures you use for initial system setup. Chapter 5
explains how to use the specific procedures. Other programming procedures are
optional, but are strongly recommended to make the most of your investment.
details.)
Setting the System Clock
After supplying power to the control unit, use the following procedures:
■
■
■
System Day (#102) to set the day of the week.
System Time (#103) to set the hour and minutes.
Assigning Lines
Key Extensions
Use the procedures described in this section to assign individual lines to pooled
extensions or assign lines to key extensions. (In Key mode, all extensions are Key
extensions; in Hybrid mode, extension 10 and any extensions set to Key using
Line Access Mode (#313) are key extensions.)
For initial setup only, use Number of Lines (#104) to specify the number of lines
that will be assigned to all system extensions. Then use the following procedures
as needed:
■
Dial Mode (#201) to identify any rotary lines (the default for all lines is
“touch-tone”).
■
Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines to specific extensions (if the line
was not assigned using the Number of Lines procedure), to remove lines
from some extensions, or to change the button used to pick up a line at a
specific extension.
■
Line Access Restriction (#302) to prevent an extension from receiving
and/or making outside calls on specific lines.

Dial Mode (#201) to identify any rotary lines (the default for all lines is
“touch-tone”).
Pool Line Assignment (#207) to remove lines from the main pool and
assign lines to auxiliary pools.
Line Access Mode (#313) to change a specific extension’s operation from
extensions.

■
Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone Programming) to
specify the order in which the system selects an available line or pool,
when a user at the extension lifts the handset or presses S to make a
call.
For extensions with standard phones, set Automatic Line Selection to
intercom first. This enables standard phones to access equipment features,
including intercom calling. When users lift the handsets on standard
phones, they hear intercom dial tone. To access a pool, they can dial the
pool access code 880, 881, 882, or 883 or dial 9 to access the first
available line or pool in the sequence.
Customizing Extensions
In addition to line or pool assignments, the following procedures can be used to
customize an extension:
■
Line Coverage Extension (#208) to identify an extension as the “owner”
of a specific outside line. A user at the extension can activate Call
Coverage or VMS Cover for the specified line. Use Call Coverage Rings
(#116) or (#320) to specify the number of times a call should ring at the
owner’s extension before it is sent to the covering extension or VMS Cover
Rings (#117) or (#321) to specify the number of times a call should ring at
the owner’s extension before it is sent to the owner’s voice mailbox.
■
Caller ID Call Log Line Association (#318) to select the lines to associate
with extensions for logging unanswered calls. Users can view the Caller ID
information for unanswered calls on the phone’s display panel and autodial
the numbers of the unanswered calls.
■
■
Display Language (#303) to specify the language (English, French, or
Spanish) for messages that appear on a system display phone.
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to prevent other extensions with the
same line from joining a call at the extension. This feature is also useful for
extensions connected to a modem, fax, or any device whose function can
be disrupted by someone trying to join it.
■
Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to prevent the extension from making
an outside call until a required account code is entered. You can also use
Forced Account Code List (#409) to create a list of valid account codes;
this ensures that only authorized users with valid account codes can make
outside calls.
■
■
Call Waiting (#316) to identify standard phone extensions that can receive
the system (not the local telephone company) call-waiting tone for a
second incoming call when active on a call.
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to prevent the extension from making
certain types of outgoing calls (on all system lines).

Changing the System Clock
You may need to change the system clock for daylight saving time, after a
prolonged power failure, or after a system reset. Use System Date (#101),
System Day (#102), and System Time (#103) to set the current date, day, and
time.
Adding New Lines
Key Extensions
Use this section to add individual lines to pooled extensions or to add new lines to
key extensions (all extensions in Key mode; in Hybrid mode, extension 10 and any
extensions set to Key using Line Access Mode (#301) are key extensions.)
If you add an outside line to your system, you may need to adjust some line
settings. In particular, use Dial Mode (#201) if the new line is a rotary line, Line
Assignment (#301) to assign the line to specific extensions, Line Ringing
(Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when the line will start ringing at
each extension that has the line, and Line Access Restriction (#302) to limit an
extension’s access to the line. Additionally, the system automatically assigns the
new line as the last line in the Automatic Line Selection sequence. If you want to
change the order, use Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone
Programming).
IMPORTANT:
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) if you add lines to the system after initial
setup, because it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction
(#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for existing lines back to
factory settings. To add a new line without affecting other settings, use Line
Assignment (#301).

PBX or Centrex Services
This section applies only if you use PBX or Centrex services with your system. If it
■
PBX services are provided by a private telephone switch.
■
Centrex services are provided by your local telephone company from a
Central Office (CO) outside your premises. These services include the
Centrex lines connected to your control unit modules and some set of
features—such as hold, conference, or transfer—that are available on
those lines. Centrex services may be offered in your area under a different
name. For specific Centrex features to be available to you, your company
must subscribe to those features. For specific information about using
Centrex, see the Centrex documentation provided by your local telephone
company.
Some of the issues you should consider when setting up your system to work
effectively behind a PBX or Centrex system are discussed below. Chapter 5
explains how to use the programming procedures discussed here.
Recall Setting
To set up your equipment to work properly with a PBX or Centrex system, first set
Recall Timer Duration (#107) to match the setting used by your PBX or Centrex
system (usually 800 msec, or “32”). This setting affects the length of a Recall
signal sent by the control unit to access PBX or Centrex services.
Dialing Restrictions
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) is an equipment restriction intended to limit an
extension’s dialing to “inside calls only” (using the i buttons on system
phones) or to “inside and local calls only” (allowing calls within the PBX or Centrex
system and local calls outside the PBX or Centrex system). However, if users in
your system use a dial-out code (9 on most PBX or Centrex systems) before
dialing numbers outside the PBX or Centrex system, the equipment will not be
able to prevent toll calls for extensions restricted to “inside and local calls only”
[unless you use Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) to prevent dialing to
specific classes of numbers].
If your PBX or Centrex system includes dialing restrictions, use those instead of
the equipment restrictions. If you have PBX or Centrex dialing restrictions on a line
and also program equipment restrictions, both the PBX or Centrex system and

Programming
equipment restrictions apply. However, equipment dialing permissions will not
override PBX or Centrex system restrictions.
Speed Dial and Auto Dial Numbers
When you program numbers outside the PBX or Centrex system as Speed Dial
and Auto Dial numbers, include the PBX or Centrex system dial-out code (9 on
most systems), followed by one or more pauses, in the stored number.
System Programming Options
This section discusses programming options that involve multiple procedures
(such as dialing restrictions and auxiliary equipment settings), as well as features
that can be used throughout your system (such as Speed Dialing). You can use a
combination of programming procedures to set up your system to operate most
efficiently, taking into account your company’s telephone service, personnel, and
equipment, as well as the special needs of particular departments. This section
lists the procedures you can use. For details on using a particular procedure, refer
Speed Dialing
You can program up to 100 frequently dialed phone numbers—such as numbers
for suppliers, repair services, customers—so that all users in the system can dial
them by pressing four buttons: f (or # on a standard phone) plus a
three-digit code. These are called System Speed Dial Numbers.
Dialing Restrictions and Permissions
The system has several procedures for restricting telephone use, and several for
overriding those restrictions. You can use any combination of these procedures to
design a system that meets your needs.
When a user makes a call, the system checks the number dialed against all of the
dialing that apply to the extension making the call. When the number dialed
passes a restriction, the system goes to the next restriction, if necessary. If Star
Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, star codes are also checked against the
restrictions. (Star codes, typically dialed before an outgoing call, provide special
services from the local telephone company Central Office (CO); for example, *
6 7 enables a dialer to block the sending of Caller ID information to the called
party.) When a user dials a star code, the system checks it against the dialing
restrictions to determine whether the code is allowed. If the code is allowed, the
system resets its checking procedure and checks the remaining digits that the
user dialed to make sure the call is permitted. When a number violates a
restriction, the call is stopped and the user hears a reorder tone (fast busy signal).

System Programming Options
IMPORTANT:
While procedures that restrict dialing are very effective, absolute protection
against misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones provide more protection
than standard phones. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you install
system phones where restricting phone use is important.
Locking an Extension
The system offers a Station Lock feature that lets users enter a four-digit code on
their telephone dialpad to lock their extensions. This helps prevent other users
from making outside calls at those extensions, or from screening calls.
Restricting Access to Outside Lines or Pools
A user can access a line or pool either by lifting the handset, pressing the line or
pool button on the phone, or dialing the Direct Line Pickup feature code or a pool
access code. If you do not want a user to access a specific outside line or pool,
you can use Line Access Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315)
to control an extension’s access to a certain line or pool (whether the line or pool
can be used to restrict an extension’s access to specific outside lines or pools.
NOTE:
If Forced Account Code Entry (#307) is programmed for an extension, that
extension is required to enter an account code before dialing an outside
number—even those on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406)—on
all of the lines or pools assigned to that extension. If the Forced Account
Code List (#409) contains entries, the system checks the account code
against the list. If the account code is on the list, line or pool access is
allowed; if not, line or pool access is denied.
With Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can dial
numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) without entering
an account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code
extensions without entering the account code as long as 911 has been
entered into the Emergency Phone Number List (#406).

If a line or pool is not assigned to the extension, a user can use Direct Line Pickup to
access the line or dial the pool access code to access a line in the pool. Emergency
numbers, Marked System Speed Dial numbers, Allowed Phone numbers, and numbers
dialed using the System Password, override all dialing restrictions if a user has access to
an outside line or pool to place the call. If Forced Account Code Entry is programmed for an
extension, the user must enter an account code before accessing an outside line or pool. If
there are entries in the Forced Account Code List, the entered account code must match an
entry on that list. With Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can dial
numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List without entering an account code. Users
can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code extensions without entering the account
code as long as 911 has been entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.
Controlling Calls on Outside Lines
When an extension is allowed access to an outside line or pool, you can use the
following procedures to control calling:
■
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) defines the type of calls (inside only,
local only, or inside, local, and long-distance) that users can make from all
lines or pools available at an extension. Outgoing Call Restriction Button
(#114) allows the receptionist at extension 10 to quickly change an
extension’s current Outgoing Call Restriction setting.
■
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) creates up to eight lists of
numbers that cannot be dialed. After creating Disallowed Phone Number
Lists, use Disallowed List Assignments (#405) to assign one or more
lists to a specific extension.

Overriding Dialing Restrictions
The following programming procedures provide ways to override all dialing
restrictions, provided the user has access to an outside line or pool:
■
Emergency Phone Number List (#406) defines a list of up to ten numbers
that can be dialed from any extension. A typical number is 911.
■
Marked System Speed Dial Numbers are specially identified System
Speed Dial numbers, which a user can dial by pressing f (or # on a
standard phone) followed by a three-digit code.
■
System Password (#403) creates a password that can be entered at any
PARTNER-model or MLS-model system phone to override dialing
restrictions for the duration of a call. The system password should be
changed periodically to prevent unauthorized use and toll fraud.
To override all dialing restrictions except Line Access Restriction (#302), Pool
Access Restriction, and Night Service with System Password (#403), use
Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407) to create up to eight lists of outside
numbers that otherwise-restricted extensions can dial. Then use Allowed List
Assignments (#408) to assign one or more of the lists to an extension.
Setting Up Groups of Extensions
You can set up four types of extension groups:
■
Pickup Group Extensions (#501) assigns extensions to one of four
Pickup Groups. A Pickup Group lets any user in the system answer outside
calls for any extension in that group.
■
Calling Group Extensions (#502) assigns extensions to one of four
Calling Groups. A Calling Group lets users ring or page all extensions in
that group simultaneously or transfer calls into the group. (Additionally,
Simultaneous Paging lets users make announcements over the
loudspeaker paging system and the speakers of idle system phones
belonging to Calling Group 1.)
■
■
Night Service Group Extensions (#504) assigns extensions to the Night
Service Group. When Night Service is activated at extension 10, calls ring
immediately at Night Service extensions regardless of how they ring at
other times (only the lines assigned to an extension will ring).
Hunt Group Extensions (#505) assigns extensions to one of eight Hunt
Groups. (Hunt Group 7 is used exclusively for the voice messaging system,
and Hunt Group 8 is used exclusively for fax transfer and fax detection.) A
Hunt Group lets users ring or voice signal the first available (nonbusy)
extension in that group. If a ringing call is not answered, the system tries
each available extension in turn until the call is answered. If a
voice-signaled call is not answered, the call does not keep hunting. Also
use Group Call Distribution (#206) to assign outside lines to a Hunt
Group if you want outside calls to ring directly into a group.

Backup and Restore Features
The PARTNER ACS processor module has two PC Card slots. These slots
function similarly to a floppy drive on a PC, in that information can be added to the
system or copied from the system using a PC Card inserted in one of the slots. To
use the optional Backup and Restore features of the system, you must purchase a
Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies. Only these Lucent
Technologies PC Cards can be used in the PARTNER ACS processor module.
The same PC Card stores both automatic and manual backups separately.
NOTE:
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and

Bed-and-Breakfast and Hotel/Motel industries. With both features, the receptionist
at extension 10 optionally can use the Intercom Autodialer to specify an extension.
■
Outgoing Call Restriction Button (#114) lets you program a button on
the system phone at extension 10 to change an extension’s current
Outgoing Call Restriction setting without entering System Programming
mode. For example, after a guest’s departure, a hotel manager can change
the No Restriction setting of the guest room phone to Inside Only so
outside calls cannot be made from the phone after the guest checks out.
■
Wake Up Service Button (#115) lets you program a button on the system
phone at extension 10 to be used for scheduling wake up (or reminder)
calls for system extensions. When a wake up call is scheduled, the system
makes an intercom call to the target extension at the scheduled time. If the
first call is not answered or the called extension is busy, the system makes
a second attempt five minutes later.
Using System Programming
System Programming changes settings for the system as a whole, or for individual
lines, pools, or extensions. You can also use System Programming to set up
dialing restrictions, define groups, or set up auxiliary equipment. Refer to the
filled-out System Planner when you are changing system settings, and be sure
that any changes in programming are recorded there.

Using System Programming
Programming Overlays
System Programming requires a Programming Overlay placed over the dialpad of
the system display phone at extension 10 or 11. (Overlays are provided with the
system documentation. Replacements can be ordered from the Lucent
Programming Overlays for the PARTNER-34D and PARTNER-18D phones.
During System Programming, the normal functions of several buttons on the
display phone at extension 10 or 11 change. For example, the left i button
becomes s and the right i button becomes c. The
Programming Overlay identifies these buttons.
You use the following special buttons while programming:
■
N and P cycle forward and backward through the
programming procedures. You can use these buttons to select a procedure.
(If a procedure instructs you to press N P, pressing
these buttons one after the other enables you to repeat the current
programming procedure.)
■
■
n and p cycle forward and backward through a procedure’s
parameters. A parameter is typically an outside line, a pool, an extension,
or a telephone list entry.
D and d cycle forward and backward through the valid
entries. These buttons work only for fixed data, such as a line or extension
number. They do not work for variable data such as date, time, password,
telephone numbers, or doorphone assignments.
■
■
r returns the current setting to the factory setting. When using Line
Assignment (#301), removes lines from an extension; when using Pool
Extension Assignment (#314), removes pools from an extension.
e ends an entry of variable length, such as a telephone number in an
Allowed Phone Number List.
■
■
s starts the System Programming process.
c starts the Centralized Telephone Programming process (to
customize individual telephones centrally from extension 10 or 11).
■
■
f when followed by 0 0, enters or exits programming mode.
w enters a “wildcard” (a character that matches any digit dialed) in
telephone numbers in Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407), Disallowed
Phone Number Lists (#404), and the Forced Account Code List (#409).

leftmost position of the second row from the bottom. If your system has a mix of
PARTNER- and MLS-model phones, refer to Appendix E for information about
programming from a PARTNER-model phone to an MLS-model phone or from an
MLS-model phone to a PARTNER-model phone.
Programming Mode
1. Place the Programming Overlay over the dialpad of the system display
information.
2. To enter programming mode, press f 0 0. A display similar to the
following appears:
PROGRAM EXTENSION 10
(If you are programming from extension 11, “11" displays instead of “10.”)
3. Press s. A display similar to the following appears:
10 Enter Extension Name
This display is for the Extension Name Display feature. When you are
entering System Programming mode, skip it by moving on to Step 4.
4. Press s again. A display similar to the following appears:
SYSTEM PROGRAM
5. Specify a programming procedure in one of two ways:
■
Direct Method: Dial the code for that procedure. System
Programming procedures in this guide are identified by a # and a
three-digit code (for example, System Date is #101). This method is
best when you are using only a few procedures during a
programming session and you know the codes.
■
Cycle Method: Cycle through the procedures in numerical order.
Press N and P to cycle forward and backward
through the programming procedures. This method is best when you
are using multiple procedures during a programming session, or if
you do not know the codes.
6. To exit programming mode, you can press f 0 0 or lift the handset
off-hook, then place it back in the cradle.
NOTE:
You can talk on the phone while you program. This is useful if you call for
support while programming. However, you must call before you enter
programming mode, and you must use the handset to talk, not the speaker
and microphone.

Upgrading the PARTNER ACS
Changing Programming Type
When you are in programming mode, you can move between System
Programming and Centralized Telephone Programming. To change to Centralized
Telephone Programming when you are in System Programming, press
c. To move back to System Programming when you are in Centralized
Telephone Programming, press c then s.
Remote Programming
The system permits programming from a remote location using an auxiliary device
called the Remote Administration Unit (RAU). Remote programming requires the
installation of two RAUs—one at your site and one at the location from which the
programming is to be done. Users of Partner ACS Release 3.0 can also perform
Remote Programming using Partner ACS Remote Administration software which
is available separately. For more information about remote programming, see the
PARTNER Communications System Remote Administration Unit Installation and
Use guide.
Upgrading the PARTNER ACS
If you are upgrading to a later release of PARTNER ACS using a PC card, please
refer to the PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation guide for
instructions.
NOTE:
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA
card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS
to Release 3.0.
!
WARNING:
Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating an upgrade.
Telephone Programming Options
System telephones are ready to use when they are installed, but they can be
customized to meet the needs of your business and individual users. This
customization is accomplished through Telephone Programming.

Programming
Automatic Line Selection
When a user lifts the telephone’s handset or presses S, the system chooses an
idle line or pool. Automatic Line Selection determines the order in which the
system looks for an idle line or pool. You can set the system to look for lines or
pools in any desired order. For standard phones or for any phone used mainly to
call other extensions, select an inside (intercom) line first.
Extension Name on Display
With Extension Name Display, users can assign a name (up to 20 characters
long) to their extension. Then, when those users make an intercom call, group
call, or transfer a call, their name and extension number appears on the display
phone receiving the call. Similarly, users receiving a transfer return call see the
name and extension number of the person assigned to the extension that did not
answer the transferred call.
Line Ringing
Line Ringing defines when each outside line or pool rings at a phone. For each
line or pool at an extension, you can specify Immediate Ring, Delayed Ring
(phone rings after a 20-second delay), or No Ring. The factory setting for line
buttons is Immediate ring; the factory setting for pool buttons is No Ring.
Personal Speed Dialing
Personal Speed Dial numbers are outside phone numbers that a user dials by
pressing f (or # on a standard phone) plus a two-digit code. Unlike System
Speed Dial numbers, which are available to all users in the system, Personal
Speed Dial numbers are available only at the extension for which they are
programmed. Users can store up to 20 Personal Speed Dial numbers.
Programming Telephone Buttons
Telephone buttons without lines or pools assigned to them can be programmed for
system features such as Exclusive Hold or Conference Drop or for telephone
numbers, so you can use the feature or dial the phone number with one touch.
Once programmed, these buttons are called Auto Dial buttons, because simply
pressing the button automatically dials the feature code or telephone number.
A user who has a system phone with programmable buttons should consider
programming them with a combination of frequently used features and outside
and intercom telephone numbers.

Programming a Receptionist’s Extension
Call Handling Options
If you set up a centralized telephone answering position at extension 10, use the
following settings to customize it:
■
Call Answering. If the receptionist should answer all calls, use Line
Assignment (#301) to assign all lines to extension 10. Set Line Ringing
for all lines at extension 10 to the desired number of Ring; set the lines
assigned at each user’s extension to Delayed Ring or No Ring.
In Hybrid mode, Immediate Call Answering is the factory setting. (Lines are
assigned as individual line buttons on the phone at extension 10 and all
pool buttons assigned to users’ extensions are set to No Ring.)
■
■
Backup Call Answering. If the receptionist should answer some lines only
when a user does not pick up, set Line Ringing for those lines at extension
10 to Delayed Ring; set the lines or pools assigned at each user’s
extension to Immediate Ring.
No Answering. If some lines should not be picked up by the receptionist at
all, either set Line Ringing for those lines at extension 10 to No Ring or
simply use Line Assignment (#301) to remove those lines from extension
10. In either case, set Line Access Restriction (#302) to No Access for
those lines at extension 10 to prevent the receptionist from using Direct
Line Pickup to access those lines.
Backup Answering Options
To assist the receptionist in handling calls, consider the following features:
■
Automatic System Answer. Useful during peak calling periods to answer
outside calls while the receptionist is busy on other calls. When activated,
this feature answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings and
plays a customized greeting. Then, depending on how Automatic System
Answer Mode (#121) is programmed, the system either:
— places the call on hold at extension 10 (the light next to the line
button winks green at extension 10 and winks red at all other
extensions that have the line); the outside caller hears
Music-on-Hold, if it is available.
— continues to ring all extensions that have access to the line (the
green light next to the line button at those extensions flash); the
outside caller hears Music-on-Hold, if it is available.
— disconnects the call.
The first two options provide audible and/or visual indication of incoming
calls waiting to be answered.

Programming
The third option is not applicable as a backup answering feature; however,
it is useful for making brief announcements such as temporary closings or
hours of business.
■
Direct Extension Dial. Useful for routing outside callers directly to a
specific extension or Hunt Group. When activated, this feature answers
incoming calls after a specified number of rings and plays a customized
message prompting the caller to dial the digits of the designated extension
or hunt group.
■
■
Call Forwarding/Call Follow-Me. Useful when a receptionist leaves the
desk for any period of time. Calls can be forwarded to a backup answering
extension.
Call Coverage. Useful when users are unable to answer their calls and
want them answered by someone else.

Telephone Programming Options
Alternatively, you can install a voice messaging system to provide an automated
backup answering position. Useful when the receptionist is busy on calls, away
from the desk, or at night, the voice messaging system answers incoming calls
after a specified number of rings, plays a customized greeting, requests callers to
enter an extension number, and transfers the caller to the appropriate extension. If
no one answers at the destination extension, the caller can leave a personal
message in that extension’s mailbox.
Button Programming
programmed buttons in addition to some other system features:
■
Extension Numbers. Auto Dial buttons are programmed for extensions 11
through 28. The receptionist can use these buttons to dial or transfer calls
to the extensions with one touch. In addition, the lights of these Auto Dial
buttons show the status of the extension, so the receptionist can tell
whether the phone at the extension is idle (no lights on), busy (red on),
calling the receptionist (green flash), sending coverage calls to or manually
signaling the receptionist (green flutter), or ringing back after the
receptionist transferred a call (green flutter).
■
Manual Signaling. A Manual Signaling button (labeled MS-Bill) is
programmed to signal the target extension. When the button is pressed,
the user at the target extension will hear a tone for as long as the button is
pressed. This feature is typically used by a receptionist to alert the boss to
an important incoming call when the boss is already on a call. The lights of
a Manual Signaling button work like an Auto Dial button to show the status
of the target extension. Additionally, a Manual Signaling button can be used
to place intercom calls. (Manual Signaling applies only to system phones.)
NOTE:
You can have only one button for a target extension per extension. The
button can be programmed as a Manual Signaling button or as an Auto Dial
button for intercom ringing or voice signaling.
■
Fax Management. A button (labeled Fax-30) is programmed as a Fax
Management button for the fax machine connected to extension 30. The
lights next to the button show what is happening at the fax machine (for
example, red broken flutter indicates that the fax machine is not
responding—for example when it is out of paper). (For more information,

using Centralized Telephone Programming. Most features also can be
programmed on a system phone at the user’s extension. Keep in mind the
following exceptions:
■
■
■
Automatic Line Selection, Line Ringing, and Call Screening (F25)

If a user has a standard phone, all features for the extension must be
programmed by using Centralized Telephone Programming.
If a user has a non-display system phone, Extension Name Display for
the extension can be programmed only by using Centralized Telephone
Programming. As a matter of convenience, users may want to program all
features for these phones using Centralized Telephone Programming.

Programming
During Centralized Telephone Programming, the display phone at extension 10 or
11 takes on the characteristics of the telephone being programmed, including any
System Programming settings and lines assigned to the phone. If you have any
34-button phones in the system, you must use a 34-button display phone to
program since an 18-button phone cannot be used to program a 34-button phone.
Also, if your system has both PARTNER-model and MLS-model phones, it is
recommended that you use a PARTNER-model display phone at the programming
extension.
To program a phone from extension 10 or 11, use the following procedure:
1. Place the Programming Overlay over the dialpad of the system display
more information.
2. To start programming:
a. Press f 0 0. A display similar to the following appears:

with telephone numbers, extension numbers, or system features.
4. At this point, program the features that must use Centralized Telephone
Programming.
For all phones, these features must now be programmed:
■
Use Automatic Line Selection to change the order in which the
telephone selects a line or pool when the user picks up the handset.
(If you want to change Automatic Line Selection for an extension,
you must do so immediately after you enter programming mode and
dial the extension number.)

Ringing Patterns
System phones have these ringing patterns:
■
■
An intercom call will ring BEEP... ring BEEP... ring BEEP. If you have a
system display phone, the caller’s extension number (and name if
programmed) will show on the display.
■
A transferred call, or an unanswered transferred or parked call that is
ringing back at your extension, will ring BEEP BEEP... ring BEEP BEEP...
NOTE:
If you use the system with PBX or Centrex lines, the PBX/Centrex distinctive
ringing patterns are not passed to phones. Phones use the ringing patterns
described here instead.
Dial Tones
You will encounter two different dial tones when calling with a system phone:
■
Outside dial tone is generated by your local phone company to indicate
that you are connected with an outside line.
■
Intercom dial tone is generated by the system to indicate that you are
connected with an inside line. You hear this dial tone when you are making
an inside, or intercom, call.
To hear the difference between the two types of dial tones on a system phone,
press a line or pool button. The dial tone you hear is an outside dial tone. To hear
an intercom dial tone, press i.
Using the Handset, Speaker, and Microphone
Every PARTNER-model and MLS-model system phone except the MLS-6 has a
speaker and a microphone, which you can turn on by pressing S. In addition,
you can turn just the microphone on and off by pressing!. When the green
light next to! is on, the microphone is on.
If you prefer to dial and conduct calls without lifting the handset, you can use the
speaker and the microphone instead. Use these techniques to make calls with the
speaker and the microphone:
■
To make a call without lifting the handset, press S to get a dial tone;
then dial the number and you will hear the call ringing. When the other
party answers, you can talk without lifting the handset.

System Telephones
■
If you are already on a call, you can switch from the handset to the speaker
and microphone by pressing S and hanging up the handset. Conversely,
if you are using the speaker and microphone and want to switch to the
handset, lift the handset and the speaker and microphone will turn off.
■
■
To turn off the microphone when you are using the speaker, press!.
This will mute your voice so the other party cannot hear you.
Use the Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) feature to answer
voice-signaled calls without lifting the handset (see below).
Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI)
When you receive a voice-signaled intercom call, your phone beeps once to
indicate that your speaker has been turned on automatically, and you hear the
caller’s voice over your phone’s speaker. If you leave your microphone on all the
time, you can start talking when you hear the caller, without lifting the handset.
This feature is called Hands-Free Answer on Intercom.
Any user in the system can make a voice-signaled call to an idle system phone by
pressing i* then dialing an extension number or pressing an Auto Dial
button programmed for voice signaling. (You can make a voice-signaled call from
either a system phone or a standard phone. However, if you try to make a
voice-signaled call to a standard phone or an MLC-6 or TransTalk 9000-series
phone, it will ring.)
1. The HFAI feature can be turned on or off only when your phone is idle.
Muting your voice while you are on a call only turns off the microphone for
the duration of the call.
2. If HFAI is on and you are already on a call, you will not receive any voice-
signaled calls to your extension—they will ring instead.
3. If you make a voice-signaled intercom call to a busy extension, it may result
in a voice interrupt on busy call to that extension. See ‘‘Voice Interrupt on
Busy Calls’’ for more information.
Voice Interrupt on Busy Calls
A voice interrupt on busy call is a special intercom call that lets you interrupt and
speak to another user who is busy on a call and who has the Voice Interrupt On
Busy(#312) feature activated. When you use Voice Interrupt on Busy, the
interrupted user hears two beeps before hearing your voice. Be aware that the
third party to whom the interrupted user is speaking will probably hear the two
beeps and the faint sound of your voice. Therefore, the message you deliver with
the interruption should be brief and discreet. If the interrupted user wants to
answer you, he or she can press a programmed Talk-Back button—the interrupted
user’s response cannot be heard by the third party in this case.

Speakerphone Performance Tips
The speaker on your system phone has a sensitive sound-activated switch. Room
acoustics and background noise can affect the proper operation of the
speakerphone. To ensure that your speakerphone works effectively, follow these
guidelines:
■
Avoid placing your phone in areas with high background noise caused by
sources such as motor vehicles, manufacturing equipment, loud voices,
radios, printers, copiers, typewriters, other noisy office equipment, and
heater and air conditioning fans.
■
■
Avoid talking before the other person is finished speaking. When you both
talk at the same time, only one person’s voice comes through.
Do not use your speaker to make announcements over a loudspeaker
paging system connected to your phone system.
■
■
When talking, always face your phone and stay within two feet of it.
Place your phone at least six inches (15 cm) away from the edge of your
desk.
■
If you have difficulty hearing the other party, try increasing the speaker
volume. If you have background noise, try turning off the microphone when
the party at the other end is speaking and turning it on when you speak. If
the difficulty persists, lift your handset to continue the conversation.
■
In conference rooms, a separate speakerphone (such as the
SoundStation® from Lucent Technologies) is recommended, since the
built-in speaker on a system phone is designed for individual use.
Standard Telephones
In addition to system phones, you can connect industry-standard touch-tone or
rotary dial phones—and even some feature phones (which have built-in calling
features)—directly to the system. You can also combine standard phones on the
same extension with system phones or other devices, without using expensive
adapters or connectors.
Standard phones can do many of the things that system phones can do, and you
can save money by using them in certain situations when a system telephone is
not needed. Follow these guidelines when using standard phones:
■
Use standard phones as power failure backups; system phones will not
work. If you connect standard phones to the first two extensions on the
PARTNER ACS processor module, users can place and answer outside
calls on the first two lines. If you connect a standard phone to the first
extension on each 206 module, users can place and answer outside calls
on the first line of each 206 module. You can connect standard phones in
combination with system phones at power failure extensions, or you can
simply keep spare standard phones at those extensions to serve as
replacements in case of a power failure.

To use a system feature, press # (in place of f used on system
phones) followed by its two-digit code when you hear intercom dial tone.
For features that use i on system phones, dial only the two-digit

If the standard phone has a message light, use it to notify users of
system, the light is used to indicate that a message has been left in your
mailbox. On a standard phone, the message light flashes when the phone
is idle to indicate that the extension has received a message.
Ringing Patterns
Standard phones have these ringing patterns:
■
■
■
An outside call will ring... ring... ring.
An intercom call will ring-ring... ring-ring... ring-ring.
A transferred call, or an unanswered transferred or parked call that is
ringing back, will ring-ring-ring... ring-ring-ring... ring-ring-ring.
NOTE:
If you use the system with PBX or Centrex lines, the PBX/Centrex distinctive
ringing patterns are not passed to phones. Telephones use the ringing
patterns described here instead.
Dial Tones
Standard phones have two different dial tones:
■
Outside dial tone is generated by your local telephone company to
indicate that you are connected with an outside line.
3-9

Learning About Telephones
■
Intercom dial tone is generated by the system to indicate that you are
connected with an inside line. You hear this dial tone when you are making
an inside, or intercom, call.
To hear the difference between the two dial tones, lift the handset. The dial tone
you hear (assuming the phone is set to select intercom first, as recommended in
this guide) is an intercom dial tone. To hear an outside dial tone, press 9.
Using the Switchhook
Some of the call-handling instructions in this guide direct you to “rapidly press and
release the switchhook.” Pressing the switchhook for 1/2 to 1 second sends a
signal over the line called a switchhook flash. However, do not press the
switchhook too quickly. If you press the switchhook and nothing happens, try
again and press it a little longer.
NOTE:
If your feature phone has a button labeled “Recall” or “Flash,” use the button
instead of pressing the switchhook. If you use the system with PBX or
Centrex lines, your PBX or Centrex documentation may tell you to press the
switchhook to access PBX or Centrex features. Use the Recall feature
Limitations
Each standard device requires one touch-tone receiver to be available in order to
dial a call (intercom or outside) or to activate a feature using a code. Each
PARTNER ACS processor module has two touch-tone receivers; each 206
module has one touch-tone receiver; each 400 module has two touch-tone
receivers. The combination of modules in your system determines the number of
standard devices that can dial simultaneously. For example, if you have one
PARTNER ACS processor module, two 206 modules, and two 400 modules, eight
standard devices can dial out at the same time. If nine standard devices try to dial
out simultaneously, the ninth device will not get dial tone until one of the other
eight finishes dialing. (PARTNER MAIL VS contains its own touch-tone receivers
and does not require any from the system.)
Also, because standard phones do not have system line or pool buttons, feature
buttons, or dedicated function buttons, basic call-handling procedures are
sometimes different from those for system telephones. In addition, the following
actions cannot be performed at a standard telephone:
■
You cannot enter programming mode.
3-10

Standard Telephones
■
Because there are no line buttons on standard phones, users must use
Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line to select a specific line; otherwise, the
system selects an idle line automatically when the user dials a 9 at
intercom dial tone. (For information about Automatic Line Selection, see
phones, users must dial pool access codes at the intercom dial tone to
on using pool access codes). Otherwise, the system selects an idle line
from a pool automatically when the user dials a 9 at intercom dial tone.
■
Unless Call Waiting (#316) is assigned to specific standard phone
extensions, there is no indication of a second call and an inside caller will
hear a busy tone if a standard phone is in use. If Call Waiting is assigned,
the user hears a call-waiting tone (two beeps) when a second call comes in
for the extension. (The call-waiting tone is not repeated.) The user can use
the switchhook to put the first call on hold and speak to the party on the
second call and to switch back and forth between the two parties.
■
Users can make a voice-signaled call from a standard phone, but if users
try to make a voice-signaled call to a standard phone, it will ring because
the standard phone does not have a system speaker.
■
■
Users cannot use the System Password.
Users cannot access the following system features: Account Code Entry,
Background Music, Caller ID Name Display, Caller ID Inspect, Do Not
Disturb, Caller ID Logging and Dialing Feature, Exclusive Hold,
Manual Signaling, Privacy, Save Number Redial, VMS Cover, Voice
Interrupt on Busy, Voice Interrupt on Busy Talk-Back, or Voice Mailbox
Transfer.
Users can, however, use Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) and
Automatic VMS Cover (#310), which are similar to the Privacy and VMS
Cover features.
■
■
■
Do not use Forced Account Code Entry with a standard phone, because
the phone will not be able to get dial tone and make calls.
A display on a standard phone will not show Caller ID information, system
messages, or Caller ID Call Logging information.
A speaker on a standard phone is not a system integrated speaker;
therefore, it cannot receive “voice” type calls, such as a group page.
Feature Phones
A feature phone is a standard telephone that has feature buttons in addition to the
regular 12-key dial pad. For example, there are feature phones that have
programmable auto dial buttons, last number redial buttons, hold buttons, and
built-in speakers. You can use most of the system’s dial-code features from a
feature phone, and program them onto a feature phone button. However, there are
some limitations to what these phones can do.
3-11

Learning About Telephones
The capabilities of a feature phone are in the phone itself. For example, if you
store a number on a feature phone’s auto dial button, that number is stored in the
feature phone. (This is different from storing a number on a system phone’s Auto
Dial button. When you program a button on a system phone, the number is
actually stored in the control unit.) Similarly, when you press a hold button on a
feature phone, the call is held at the phone itself. (Callers will not hear the
system’s Music-on-Hold. Other phones in the system cannot see that the call is on
hold; it appears as a busy line.)
If you want to program an outside number on a feature phone’s auto dial button,
you must add a 9 and one or more pauses (if available) before each outside
number. (The 9 gets an outside line, and each pause allows a few seconds to get
an outside dial tone.)
Note that the feature phone’s last number redial button may not work for an
outside call. To redial the last number, use the system’s Last Number Redial
feature by pressing # 0 5.
Combination Extensions
A combination extension is an extension with two devices connected to it—either
two standard devices, or a system phone and a standard device (but not two
system phones). (For instructions on how to install a combination extension, see
the PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation guide.)
The following are examples of useful combination extensions:
■
System phone plus standard telephone, for power failure backup on
extensions 10, 11, and the first extensions of any 206 or 308EC Module
■
■
■
■
System phone plus answering machine
System phone plus fax machine
System phone plus headset
System phone plus an external alert (such as a bell or chime).
The telephones in a combination extension share a single extension in the same
way several home telephones share a single line. A system telephone works as it
always does and a standard telephone works as it always does when connected
to the system. Only one phone or device can be used at a time, unless you want
to join the two on a single call (the same way two people can pick up the same call
on different telephones at home). For example:
■
Both phones share the same extension number.
■
Both phones share the same voice path; that is, when either phone is busy,
the extension is busy.
■
Calls ring at both phones.

Using Telephones
■
A second call can ring at the system phone while the standard phone is
busy, but do not use the system phone to answer the second call until the
standard phone is idle or the first call will be disconnected.
■
■
■
If you make a voice-signaled intercom call to a combination extension with
a system phone, only the system phone signals.
Call Waiting (#316) does not work on a standard phone in combination
with a system phone.
The lights on the system phone show what the standard telephone is doing
as well as what the system phone is doing. For an explanation of light
■
If Privacy is active at a combination extension, no other extension can join
a call in progress at either a system phone or a standard device. (However,
a phone can interrupt a call on a standard device at the same extension.
For example, if a system phone and modem are combined at an extension,
picking up the handset of the system phone could interrupt a modem
transmission, even if Privacy is active.)
■
While on a call on a standard phone, you can use the system phone’s
dialpad and fixed-feature buttons to handle calls. For example, you can use
the system phone to select a specific outside line or pool, and conduct the
call on the standard phone. Or, if someone is on a call using the standard
phone, someone else can put that call on hold by pressing h on the
system phone. To do this, it is not necessary to lift the handset of the
system phone. Held calls do not ring back at a standard phone in a
combination extension. To retrieve a held call from the standard phone, use
Direct Line Pickup—Active Line.
■
■
■
A standard phone’s message light will not light when Background Music is
playing through the system phone’s speaker.
If you have Caller ID, only system display phones show the Caller ID
information.
The ringer equivalence number (REN) of a standard device or the
combined REN of two devices cannot be greater than 2.0. (The REN of a
system phone is 0.0.)

Using Auxiliary Equipment
Overview
There are many ways to set up auxiliary equipment—the setup you choose
depends upon your needs and the number of devices you have. This chapter
presents some common setups. (It does not cover how to physically connect the
equipment, or how to program the features. See the PARTNER Advanced
for programming instructions, and the equipment manufacturer’s documentation
for complete details on the device you connect.)
This chapter shows various applications for the following types of equipment:
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
In addition, you can connect the following devices to your system:
■
Doorphones allow visitors to signal extensions by pressing a button on the
doorphone; the person who answers a doorphone call can then speak with
the visitor at the doorphone. A doorphone is especially useful for providing
access to offices or departments after hours. For example, you can install a
doorphone outside your building entrance to allow visitors to ring
telephones inside the building when the receptionist is not there and the
front door is locked.
The system supports up to two Lucent Technologies PARTNER
Doorphones or any number of Lucent Technologies Universal Doorphones.
Universal Doorphones offer a door unlock feature and can be installed in
addition to PARTNER Doorphones.

Loudspeaker paging systems allow you to broadcast a message over a
large area, by connecting the paging system directly to the PAGE jack on
the processor module. The system supports all Lucent Technologies
paging systems including the entire PagePac line. The system also
supports most paging systems from other manufacturers when the paging
systems are connected using a paging interface device. For information
about how to use a loudspeaker paging system with the system, see
■
PARTNER PassageWay®Solution allows you to combine your Personal
Computer (PC) running Microsoft® WindowsTM 3.1 or later, Microsoft
Windows for Workgroups Version 3.11 or later, or Windows 95 with your
phone. You can then use your PC for tasks such as dialing out from an
electronic phone list and logging phone calls.
■
Music-on-Hold systems allow you to play recorded music or messages to
callers while they are on hold, by connecting the audio source to the
processor module. The system supports the Lucent Technologies Magic on
Hold system and most models from other manufacturers. (The
performance of music over telephone lines is a public performance under
United States Copyright law. Accordingly, in order for the performance of
that music to be lawful, it must be licensed annually to the user by the
copyright owners or their representatives. The Magic on Hold system
includes the required license for the first year. This license must be
renewed annually.)
■
■
Remote Administration Units (RAUs) allow you to perform System and
Centralized Telephone Programming from a remote location. Users of
Partner ACS Release 3.0 can also perform Remote Programming using
Partner ACS Remote Administration software which is available separately.
Extra alerts help make users aware of incoming calls. For example, you
can use an audible alert (chime, horn, or bell) to replace a phone ring in a
noisy area, such as a factory. Similarly, you can use a visual alert (strobe or
light) to replace a phone ring in a quiet area, such as a library. Lucent
Technologies offers several compatible alerts.
■
Speakerphones provide hands-free two-way operation of a phone without
lifting the handset. Combining a speakerphone with a system phone or a
standard phone in a conference room or office is an inexpensive way for
several people at a meeting to conference in other parties. (In conference
rooms, a separate speakerphone—such as the SoundStation from Lucent
Technologies—is recommended, since the built-in speaker on a system
phone is designed for individual use.)
■
Headsets allow users to hold hands-free conversations. A headset is a
combination earphone and microphone worn on the head, useful for
receptionists, salespeople, or others who need to have their hands free
while talking on the phone. Lucent Technologies offers several compatible
headsets.

■
Specialty Handsets are designed for those individuals who need greater
functionality than that provided by the handsets on system phones and
standard phones. For example, an amplified handset is available for all
PARTNER phones for hard-of-hearing users.
In-Range Out-of-Building (IROB) protectors are required to prevent
electrical surges from damaging your system when phones or other
standard devices (such as a doorphone) are installed in a location other
than the building where the control unit is installed. The system supports
the Lucent Technologies IROB protector, which provides coverage for up to
3,000 feet (915 meters) for standard devices and 1,000 feet (305 meters)
for system phones. (IROBs must be installed by a qualified technician.)
■
Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE) allows you to connect a standard
touch-tone phone beyond 3,000 feet (915 meters) in another building on
the same continuous property. It also allows you to use a special circuit
from your local phone company to provide off-premises station capability.
■
■
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filters allow you to block “noise”
generated by a nearby radio station, as well as most electrical devices.
Caller ID devices allow you to store and process Caller ID information.
Although the system provides functionally integrated, multi-line Caller ID on
system display phones, you can connect other devices provided you
subscribe to the service from your local phone company and connect the
device directly to the Caller ID line. You cannot install a Caller ID device
directly to a PARTNER extension jack or to a combination extension jack.
Refer to “Caller ID Devices” in the PARTNER Advanced Communications
System Installation guide for installation details.
■
PCMCIA cards allow you to administer your system from your PC, either
remotely or locally (Release 3.0 or later).
NOTE:
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA
card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS
to Release 3.0.

Using Auxiliary Equipment
If a Device Has Trouble
Two System Programming procedures can be used to adjust the system settings
for auxiliary equipment installed at an extension, if a device has trouble answering
calls or dialing out. If a device (such as an answering machine) does not pick up
transferred or intercom calls, you can use Distinctive Ring (#308) to change the
ringing, so that all calls ring like outside calls at that extension. If an autodialing
device (such as a modem) has trouble autodialing, use Intercom Dial Tone
(#309) to change the intercom dial tone for the extension to Machine (outside line)
dial tone.
Answering Machines
You can use an answering machine to answer calls at night when no one is
around, or during business hours when no one can get to the phone. If you have a
Lucent Technologies answering machine with the Call Intercept feature, you can
pick up a call that has been answered by the answering machine by joining the
call from any system phone. When you do so, the system sends the answering
machine a signal that makes it hang up.
You can connect answering machines to your system in the following ways:
■
■
■
Single answering machine. This basic setup can cover all the lines in the
system. Anyone on the system can call the machine to retrieve messages.
Multiple answering machines. If you get too many calls for one machine
to cover, connect two or more machines to cover all calls.
Personal answering machine. An answering machine can share an
extension with a phone in order to answer calls to that extension.
NOTE:
If you have an answering machine and a system phone on the same
extension, the answering machine will be able to answer calls only when the
phone is idle.
Single Answering Machine
answering machine is connected to its own extension, and can cover all the lines
in the system, or as many lines as you assign to it. You can install the answering
machine on an extension by itself, or combine it with a system phone or a
standard phone on the same extension (see “Combination Extensions” in the
PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation guide).

To Use
■
Go to the machine to manually play back messages.
■
From any system extension, make an intercom call to the answering
machine extension. When the machine answers, dial its message retrieval
code.
■
From outside the system, call in on any line assigned to the machine.
When the machine answers, dial its message retrieval code.
To Program
1. If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign
all the lines to extension X that you want the answering machine to cover.
If extension X is a pooled extension, use Line Extension Assignment
(#314) to assign all the pools to extension X that you want the answering
machine to cover. Also, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign any
individual lines to extension X that you want the answering machine to
cover.
2. Set Line Ringing for all lines and pools assigned to extension X to
Immediate Ring.
3. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension,
Pickup Group Extension (#501), Calling Group Extension (#502), Night
Service Group Extension (#504), or Hunt Group Extension (#505).
4. Adjust the answering machine to answer according to your needs. For
example, set the machine to answer on the fourth ring during the day so

Multiple Answering Machines
If a single answering machine cannot handle all your calls, you can set up two or
more machines at different extensions (Figure 4-2) so that a call does not go
unanswered. If one answering machine is busy, a second call will be answered by
the second machine. A setup such as this might be used by a movie theater to
announce movie times to people calling for information.

To Use
■
Go to the machines to manually play back messages.
■
From any system extension, make an intercom call to an answering
machine extension. When the machine answers, dial its message retrieval
code.
■
From outside the system, call in on any line assigned to the machine.
When the machine answers, dial its message retrieval code. Note,
however, when calling from outside, you can retrieve messages only from
the first machine that answers.
To Program
1. If your system is configured for Hybrid mode, use Line Access Mode
(#313) to change extensions X and Y from Pooled to Key.
2. Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign all the lines to extensions X and Y
that you want the machines to cover.
3. For extensions X and Y, set Line Ringing for all lines to Immediate Ring.
4. Make sure extensions X and Y are not assigned as Call Waiting (#316)
extensions, Pickup Group Extensions (#501), Calling Group
Extensions (#502), Night Service Group Extensions (#504), or Hunt
Group Extensions (#505).

Answering Machines
5. Adjust both answering machines to answer on a different number of rings
(so they do not both try to pick up the same call). For example, set
answering machine 1 to 4 rings and answering machine 2 to 6 rings. (If you
cannot adjust the two answering machines to answer on a different number
of rings, assign some lines to Immediate Ring at extension X and other
lines to Immediate Ring at extension Y.)
Personal Answering Machine
A personal answering machine is used to answer all the calls that ring at a certain
extension (Figure 4-3). It is useful for the following situations:
■
■
■
When you do not want to dedicate an extension to an answering machine
When the extension receives a lot of intercom calls
When outside calls come through a receptionist and are transferred to the
extension
■
When an extension has a private line

Using Auxiliary Equipment
2. If the lines assigned to extension X are also assigned to other extensions,
adjust the answering machine to answer on the third or fourth ring so that it
does not answer calls before someone else can. (If the answering machine
is to cover transferred or coverage calls, make sure the number of rings is
less than the amount of transfer return rings set for the extension. This
assures that the answering machine will pick up transferred or coverage
calls before they return to the transfer return extension or are sent to the
covering extension.)
If you intercept a call from the answering machine, you will hear a click to
notify you that the answering machine has turned off.
Auto Attendant
An auto attendant answers calls and directs them to a specified extension, Calling
Group, or Hunt Group (based on the digits a caller dials after listening to a list of
choices in a recorded greeting). For example, the auto attendant could answer
calls and tell callers to press 1 for Sales, 2 for Parts, 3 for Service, and so on. An
auto attendant can be set up for immediate call handling or delayed call handling.
Backup for Receptionist
A common use of an auto attendant is as a backup for the receptionist. If the
receptionist cannot pick up a call within a specified number of rings, the auto
attendant handles it. This prevents calls from going unanswered. Figure 4-4 shows
how the auto attendant would be connected to your system.

Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)
To Use
Follow the instructions packaged with the auto attendant. Make sure that the
unit is in backup call-answering mode.
When callers call the main number for your company, the receptionist normally
picks up the call. If the receptionist is busy, the auto attendant answers and
plays a recorded message, such as: “Please hold for the receptionist or dial an
extension number now.”
To Program
1. Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign all the lines to extension X that you
want the auto attendant to cover.
2. Set Line Ringing for all lines assigned to extension X to Delayed Ring.
3. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension.
4. Use AA Extensions (#607) to identify extension X as the auto attendant.
5. Set Transfer Return Extension (#306) for extension X to extension 10.
6. Set the auto attendant to pick up within a specific number of rings, so if the
receptionist does not pick up a call, the auto attendant will.
Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)
SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording) is a call reporting feature that provides
records of call activity. Call reporting information provides you with the ability to:
■
■
■
■
Detect any unauthorized calls
Bill clients or projects
Bill back by department
Reduce telephone costs by identifying the need to change
telecommunications services (like adding a WATS line for calls to a
particular area code)
■
Print Caller ID information
Call reporting information is recorded after each call is completed. For outgoing
calls, the system records information for each call that lasts more than 10
seconds. The timing begins when you lift the handset or press S to access an
outside line. For incoming calls, the timing begins when the call is answered.
Timing stops when the call is disconnected.
The system sends the information through a 1200-baud serial interface to either a
serial printer or a call accounting device. The device connects directly to the
SMDR jack on the processor module.

Using Auxiliary Equipment
Programming
Use the following programming procedures for call reporting:
■
■
■
SMDR Record Type (#608) to specify the type of calls that you want to
record for call reporting—either all calls or outgoing calls only.
SMDR Top of Page (#609) to notify the system that the printer has been
aligned to the top of a new page.
SMDR Output Format (#610) to identify whether a maximum of 15 digits
or 24 digits is printed for dialed numbers on the call report.
Before changing the output format to 24 digits, check the documentation for
your call accounting device to verify that this operation is supported.
■
■
■
■
SMDR Talk Time (#611) to include the Talk field on the call reports. This
field shows the call duration minus the time the greeting was played and
the caller waited for someone to answer the call.
Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to identify extensions that are
required to enter an account code prior to making outside calls and Forced
Account Code List (#409) to create a list of valid account codes.
Display Language (#303) to specify the language to be used for display
messages. The call report header is printed in the same language as is
specified for extension 10.
The System Date (#101) and System Time (#103) must be set correctly to
ensure accurate call reports.
Call Reports
A call report is a page of information that begins with a header. The header
includes field names that describe the information in each call record. The call
record is a line of information that includes the fields shown in Figure 4-5.

■
Date. The date of the call is shown in mm/dd/yy format, where mm is the
month, dd is the day, and yy is the year. The system uses the date set with
System Date (#101).
Time. The time of the connection is shown in hh:mm format, where hh is
the hour and mm is the minute. The system uses the time set with System
Time (#103) and is shown in 24-hour (military) time.
Number. For an outgoing call, this is the dialed number or the speed dial
code of a Marked System Speed Dial Number (preceded by an “F”). This
field holds a maximum of either 15 or 24 digits, depending on the setting of
hold 24 digits.)
A “]” character prints as the last digit of a dialed number if the called party
hangs up before the system user; a “?” prints if the number of digits dialed
exceeds the 15 or 24 digits that this field can hold. If both of these
conditions occur, the “]” takes precedence.
For an incoming call, “IN” appears, unless the system is set up to receive
Caller ID information. In that case, telephone numbers of incoming calls on
more information.)
■
Duration. The duration of the call is shown in hh:mm:ss format, where hh
is the hour, mm is the minutes, and ss is the seconds. This is the total time
of the call, including any time the call is on hold or being handled by the
Automatic System Hold or Direct Extension Dial feature. If an incoming
call lasts less than one second, this field contains all zeroes.
■
■
Line Number. This is the outside line used to make or receive the call. If
the system is set for Hybrid Mode and the call is on a line in a pool, the
number of the line in the pool prints here, not the pooled number.
Station (Extension). This usually is the extension that answered or placed
the call. For redirected incoming calls, the last extension on the call is
shown on the report, as follows:
— For transferred incoming calls: the destination extension.
— For transferred outgoing calls: the originator extension.
— For pickup calls: the extension picking up the call.
— For forwarded calls: the extension answering the forwarded call.
— For coverage calls: the extension answering the coverage call.
■
■
If the calling party hangs up on an Automatic System Answer or Direct
Extension Dial call before someone at an extension answers, this field
shows 00.
Account Code. This is the account code (up to 16 digits) assigned to the
call. This code typically is used for charging calls to a specific client, project
or department.

Using Auxiliary Equipment
■
Talk. This is the time a user spends on an incoming outside call—from the
time the user answers the call to the time the call is disconnected from the
system. The talk time is shown in hh:mm:ss format, where hh is the hour,
mm is the minutes, and ss is the seconds.
If the call is answered by the Automatic System Answer or Direct
Extension Dial feature, this field does not include the time the caller listens
to the greeting or waits for someone to answer the call. For all other calls,
the time in this field is the same as the time in the Duration field.
This field is included on the call report only if SMDR Talk Time (#611) is
set to Active.
Considerations
■
If a report cannot print because the printer is jammed or out of paper, the
system will store up to 45 records in its memory until they can be printed.
Additional calls will not be recorded.
■
■
Before including the Talk field on call reports or changing the output format
to 24 digits, check the documentation shipped with the call accounting
device to verify that these options are supported.
If SMDR Talk Time (#611) is set to Active and SMDR Output Format
(#610) is set to 24 digits, the combined length of the fields for a call record
will be greater than the 80 characters supported by most printers. If call
records wrap around to the next line, reduce the font size or increase the
characters-per-inch setting for the printer. If necessary, change the SMDR
Output Format back to 15 digits.
■
■
■
In the event of a power failure, records of any calls in progress are lost.
Inside (intercom) calls are not recorded.
If you place a call on hold and the caller hangs up, the call is considered
complete and the record is sent to the call reporting device.
■
Conference calls appear as two outside calls. (This means two records are
generated on the report.)
Output Format
The following RS-232 serial transmission protocol is used for SMDR records:
■
■
■
■
1200 baud
No parity
8 data bits
2 stop bits
The call reporting feature also supports XON/XOFF protocol, carriage returns,
and line feeds.

Contact Closure Devices
Serial Printers
Use a 355A adapter, which converts a modular jack interface to an RS-232 25-pin
connector, to connect a serial printer to the PARTNER ACS processor module. If
you connect a printer, make sure the printer can receive SMDR data in the format
described above (refer to the printer’s instructions or contact the printer’s
manufacturer if you need help).
If SMDR Talk Time (#611) is set to Active and SMDR Output Format (#610) is
set to 24 digits, the combined length of the fields for a call record will be greater
than the 80 characters supported by most printers. If call records wrap around to
the next line, reduce the font size or increase the characters-per-inch setting for
the printer. If necessary, change the SMDR Output Format back to 15 digits.
Call Accounting Devices
You can send call information to a call accounting device (such as Lucent
Technologies’ Call Accounting Terminal—Basic or Plus) if you want to further
analyze call activity. The device stores rate table information and processes the
information it receives into meaningful reports that can help you optimize your
communications system. The primary application for call accounting devices is
“accounting,” or pricing of the calls.
The call accounting device connects directly to the SMDR jack on the PARTNER
ACS processor module and can also print out reports that include summaries by
hour, line, and extension. Refer to the manual provided with the call accounting
device for instructions on connecting it to your system.
Contact Closure Devices
The Contact Closure Adjunct plugs into a jack on the PARTNER ACS processor
module and has two Contact Closures that can be used to control devices such as

you must program how the contacts will respond when activated. Then users at
eligible extensions can program a button on their phones or they can simply use
f 4 1 (to activate Contact Closure 1) or f 4 2 (to activate Contact
Closure 2).
For example, suppose Contact Closure 1 can release the door lock on the
Deliveries door. You program extension Y as an eligible extension for Contact
Closure 1 using Contact Closure Group (#612), and set the Contact Closure
Operation Type (#613) to 5-Seconds On. When a delivery person uses the
doorphone (extension X) to announce a package delivery, the user at extension Y
can use f41 to activate Contact Closure 1. The lock on the Deliveries
door will be released for five seconds, enabling the delivery person to enter.
Programming Contact Closure Devices
1. Use Doorphone Extension (#604) to assign Doorphone 1 to extension X.
2. Use Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606) to identify extension Y as an
alert extension for Doorphone 1.
3. Use Contact Closure Group (#612) to assign extension Y to Contact
Closure Group 1. This extension can activate Contact Closure 1.

Credit Card Scanners
Many retail businesses and restaurants use credit card scanners to get instant
approval of credit card purchases. The system allows your credit card scanners to
share the lines in your system (as shown in Figure 4-7). You can install the credit

Fax Machines
This section suggests several ways you can set up fax machines to work with your
system. It includes instructions for programming and using a Fax Management
button on a system phone (in order to monitor the status of a fax machine and
transfer calls to it with a single touch), and for transferring calls to the fax machine
extension.
Preventing Inappropriate Fax Answering
When lines appear on a fax extension, you will want to make sure that the fax
machine does not automatically answer outside calls on these lines. There are
three ways you can do this:
■
Set the fax machine for delayed pickup.
■
Use Line Ringing to change the ring options on the fax extension to either
delayed ring or no ring.
■
(Recommended) Use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines
from the fax extension.
Using the Fax Management Feature
On any system phone, you can program a button with lights to serve as a Fax
Management button. The lights next to this button tell you when the fax machine is
in use, available, or not answering (for example, when it is out of paper). You can
also use the button to transfer calls from your extension to the fax machine with a
single touch.
Programming for Fax Management
To program a Fax Management button, first assign the fax machine extension
the fax machine extension number on an Auto Dial button. For more information,

When an incoming call is answered by PVM, PMVS, PARTNER MAIL or
ASA/DXD, PARTNER ACS determines if the incoming call is a fax. If the system is
set up to automatically route incoming fax calls to the fax machine, ACS will
automatically transfer the call to a fax hunt group. Incoming fax detection is
activated automatically by assigning extensions to Hunt Group 8. For more

Using Auxiliary Equipment
Manual Transfer of Calls to Fax Machines—
Release 2.0 or Later
There are two situations in which you would want to transfer a call to your fax
machine:
■
You answer an outside call and hear a fax machine signaling. (A fax signal
is a single beep sequence—beep.... beep.... beep). If you hear this, you
should transfer the call immediately to the fax machine extension.
■
You are on a call with a person who wants to send you a fax using the fax
machine that is connected to his or her phone. You can receive the fax by
transferring the call to your fax extension. Tell the other party to wait until he
or she hears the fax signal before pressing the Start button on the sending
fax machine.
In addition, if you have a PARTNER MAIL system and a fax call comes in on a line
covered by the PARTNER MAIL system, its Automated Attendant Service can be
programmed to automatically transfer the call to a fax extension or (if you have
multiple fax machines) to the extension Hunt Group for the fax machines.
There are four ways to transfer the call to the fax extension:
■
■
■
■
If you have a Fax Management button, simply press the button. When the
fax machine answers, hang up.
If you do not have a Fax Management button, press & plus the fax
machine’s extension number. When the fax machine answers, hang up.
On a standard phone, rapidly press and release the switchhook to place
the call on hold, then dial the fax extension number and hang up.
If you have multiple fax machines in an extension Hunt Group, press
&, then i 7 7 plus the fax extension Hunt Group number.
When a fax machine answers, hang up.
Setting Up Fax Machines
There are many ways to set up fax machines. The following configurations are
basic and easy to use:
■
■
■
Single fax machine. Good for light or moderate fax traffic. This basic setup
uses a published fax number.
Fax machine line saver. Good for light fax traffic, with no need for a
published fax number.
Send and receive fax machines. Good for high-volume fax traffic. One
machine sends, the other receives.
You can install both a telephone and a fax machine on the same extension—see
“Combination Extensions” in the PARTNER Advanced Communications System
Installation guide. This lets you receive both voice and fax calls on the same line
(but not at the same time). If you pick up the phone and hear a fax signal, push the
Start button on your fax machine and then hang up.

Fax Machines
If you are using the PARTNER MAIL system’s Automated Attendant Service, you
can program PARTNER MAIL to transfer fax calls to the fax extension or a group
of fax extensions automatically. Use Fax Machine Extensions (#601) to identify
fax extensions. If you have multiple fax machines, put all of the fax extensions into
a single Hunt Group (any group 1–6) using Hunt Group Extensions (#505).
Restricting Dialing from a Fax Machine
You can use dialing restrictions to restrict calling activity on a fax machine. For
example, you can use Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to restrict the fax
machine to local calls only. For a more detailed discussion of dialing restrictions,
see Chapter 2.
Single Fax Machine
The single fax machine setup (shown in Figure 4-8) is good for moderate traffic.
The fax machine has its own line (line A), the number of which is published as the
fax number. (The fax line can be used by other phones when all other lines are
busy.) The fax machine is connected to its own extension (extension X).

only line A to extension X.
If extension X is a pooled extension, use Pool Line Assignment (#207) to
remove line A from all pools and then use Line Assignment (#301) to
assign only line A to extension X.
2. Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to select line A only. Set
Automatic Line Selection to select line A last on all other extensions or
remove line A from all other extensions if they should not use it to make
outgoing calls.
3. Set Line Ringing for line A on extension X to Immediate Ring. On all other
extensions, set line A to Delayed Ring or No Ring.
4. Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.
5. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension,
Pickup Group Extension (#501), Calling Group Extension (#502), Night
Service Group Extension (#504), or Hunt Group Extension (#505).
6. To monitor the fax machine, use Fax Machine Extensions (#601) to
identify extension X as a fax extension and program a Fax Management
button by programming the fax machine extension number on an Auto Dial
button.
Fax Line Saver
If you do not use your fax machine enough to justify paying for its own outside line,
you can put the machine on its own extension. With this setup, you must transfer
calls to it manually. If you have programmed a Fax Management button, you can
transfer a call to the fax machine with a single touch, as well as monitor the status

Using Auxiliary Equipment
Send and Receive Fax Machines
If your business has high-volume fax traffic, you can set up two fax machines, one
that only sends and the other that only receives. For example, in Figure 4-10,
fax 1 is the send machine, fax 2 is the receive machine. Line A is the fax line, the
number of which is published as the fax number. If fax 2 doesn’t answer line A,
fax 1 will.

To Use
When you send a fax, an outside line will be automatically selected. Incoming
fax calls on the fax line are answered automatically by fax 2. If a fax comes in
on a line other than line A, you can transfer the call to fax 2 (see ‘‘Transferring
Management button, you can transfer a call to the fax machine with a single
touch, as well as monitor the status of the fax machine (see ‘‘Using the Fax
fax 1 can pick up fax transmissions when fax 2 does not answer.
To Program Fax 1 (Send—Ext. X)
1. If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign
one or more lines to extension X (including line A).
If extension X is a pooled extension, use Pool Line Assignment (#207) to
remove line A from all pools. Then use Pool Extension Assignment
(#314) to assign pools to extension X. Also use Line Assignment (#301)
to assign line A and any other individual lines to extension X.
2. Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to select outside lines first
(line A selected last).
For pooled extensions, set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to
select pools and outside lines first (line A selected last).

Modems
There are several ways to use modems with your system, as described below.
NOTE:
Modems can connect directly to an extension jack without an adapter.
However, if you connect a high-speed modem through the control unit, you
may experience some degradation of efficiency and throughput, depending
on the quality of the central office lines connected to the system. To solve
the problem, either connect modems directly to the network interface jacks,
or contact your local telephone company for information about upgrading
line quality.

Using Auxiliary Equipment
Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment
You can set up modems, fax machines, and answering machines to receive calls
automatically after hours. When Night Service is on, calls ring immediately at the
appropriate extensions, so that no human intervention is required to transfer calls
to the fax, modem, or answering machine. When Night Service is off, you can use
the auxiliary equipment lines for normal business purposes, so that lines are
dedicated to auxiliary equipment only after hours.
By putting auxiliary equipment in the Night Service Group as described in this
section, auxiliary equipment can start ringing and answering calls whenever you
turn Night Service on. In other words, the Night Service button at extension 10
acts like a switch, turning auxiliary equipment on and off, as well as putting the
system into Night Service.
NOTE:
If you have a voice messaging system, turning Night Service on also
activates Night Service operation of the voice messaging system.
Figure 4-13 shows a system with a fax machine and a modem connected to
separate extensions. Line A is published as the fax line, and line B is published as
the modem line.

Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment
Using Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment
During the day, lines A and B do not ring at extensions X and Y. When you turn
Night Service on, calls on line A ring immediately at the fax (extension X). Since
that line is not assigned to any other extension in the Night Service Group, only
extension X receives fax transmissions. Likewise, with Night Service on, calls on
line B ring immediately at the modem (extension Y).
NOTE:
If answering machines are connected to Night Service extensions, you can
join a call that was already answered by an answering machine from any
system phone. If you have a Lucent Technologies answering machine with
the Call Intercept feature, the answering machine drops off the call when
you join it.
Programming Night Service with Auxiliary
Equipment
1. If extension X and Y are key extensions, use Line Assignment (#301) to
assign only line A to extension X (for the fax machine to cover) and only
line B to extension Y (for the modem to cover).
If extensions X and Y are pooled extensions, use Pool Line Assignment
(#207) to remove lines A and B from all pools and Pool Extension
Assignment (#314) to remove all pools from extensions X and Y. Also use
Line Assignment (#301) to assign only line A to extension X (for the fax
machine to cover) and only line B to extension Y (for the modem to cover).
2. Set Line Ringing for line A at extension X and for line B at extension Y to
No Ring.
3. Make sure extensions X and Y are not assigned as Call Waiting (#316)
extensions, Pickup Group Extensions (#501), Calling Group

Using Auxiliary Equipment
Voice Messaging Systems
Three Lucent Technologies voice messaging systems are compatible with your
system. You can install one of the three depending on your business needs:
■
The PARTNER MAIL VS Voice Messaging System, which physically
resembles a 206 module, resides in the control unit in a 2- or 4-port
configuration.
■
■
PARTNER Voice Messaging PC Card, in a 2-port configuration only,
provides four mail boxes.
The PARTNER MAIL Voice Messaging System, in a 2, 4 or 6-port
configuration, is an auxiliary device that connects to the system through
extension jacks.
The PARTNER MAIL system also offers advanced voice mail features, such as
outcalling, group lists, broadcast messages, and fax management. For complete
details, contact your Lucent Technologies Representative or local Authorized
Dealer, or refer to the documentation provided with the voice messaging system.
Delayed Call Handling
handling. This setup allows the receptionist at extension 10 to provide
personalized service by answering calls during normal business hours. The
PARTNER MAIL VS system (connected to extensions Z1 and Z2) handles calls
when the receptionist is busy or not available, so calls do not go unanswered. The
PARTNER MAIL VS system also answers calls received outside of business hours
and prompts callers to leave a message in the receptionist’s mailbox.
This example also includes two user extensions (X and Y), which are not
automatically covered by the PARTNER MAIL VS system. This allows the
receptionist to give the caller more personalized service; if the receptionist
transfers a call to extension X or Y and that extension does not answer, the call
returns to the receptionist. The receptionist can then take a message or send the
call to the extension’s mailbox if the caller prefers.

Figure 4-14. Delayed Call Handling
To Use
Follow the instructions packaged with the PARTNER MAIL VS system to install it.
During normal business hours, the PARTNER MAIL VS system uses generic rings
for handling; the receptionist picks up all calls at extension 10. If the receptionist
cannot answer within the specified number of rings, the system routes the call to
the PARTNER MAIL VS system where the day menu plays to the caller. Outside of
business hours (when Night Service is activated at extension 10), outside calls
are answered directly by the PARTNER MAIL VS system. Any user who is in the
office can pick up calls before the PARTNER MAIL VS system answers.
To Program
The following list summarizes the PARTNER Advanced Communications System
programming procedures you use to implement the previous example:
1. Use Group Call Distribution (#206) to assign all outside lines to Hunt
Group 7 (the VMS hunt group) to provide Automated Attendant Service on
these lines.
2. Use Transfer Return Extension (#306) for extensions Z1 and Z2 to
ensure that calls transferred by the PARTNER MAIL VS system return to
extension 10 if they are not answered.
3. Use Hunt Group Extensions (#505) to assign extensions Z1 and Z2 to
Hunt Group 7 (the VMS hunt group).
4. Set the VMS Hunt Delay (#506) to Delayed.
5. Set the VMS Hunt Schedule (#507) to Always.
6. Make sure that a Night Service Button (#503) is assigned at extension
10—the receptionist’s extension. When Night Service is on, callers hear
the night menu when no one is available to answer their calls.

Using Auxiliary Equipment
7. Program a Voice Mailbox Transfer button at extension 10 to enable the
receptionist to transfer calls directly to extension X’s and Y’s mailboxes
without first ringing their phones. (This is useful when the receptionist
knows that the users at extensions X and Y are away from their desks.)
8. Program an Auto Dial button for the VMS hunt group (i 7 7 7) at
extensions X and Y to allow the subscribers to call in for their messages
with one touch.

Abbreviated Ringing (#305)
Description
This feature applies only to system phones.
This System Programming procedure activates or deactivates Abbreviated
Ringing at the system phone at a specific extension. When a user is on a call and
Abbreviated Ringing is Active, any incoming call rings only once. The green light
next to the line or pool button flashes until the call is answered or the caller hangs
up (or for a transferred call, until it returns to the transfer return extension). This
feature prevents incoming calls from distracting users when they are busy on
another call. To allow calls to ring repeatedly, set Abbreviated Ringing to Not
Active.
Considerations
■
Abbreviated Ringing is typically set to Not Active for receptionists and
others who handle many calls quickly, so they have an audible reminder of
incoming calls.
■
■
■
Abbreviated Ringing applies to outside, transferred, and intercom calls.
The volume of an abbreviated ring is lower than a normal ring.

Account Code Entry (F12)
Account Code Entry (F12)
Description
This feature can be used only from a system phone.
This feature lets a user enter an account code (up to 16 digits) for an outside call
(incoming or outgoing). An account code typically is used to identify a department,
project, or client for charge-back or tracking purposes.
Related Features
■
You can use Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to identify system phone
extensions that are required to enter an account code prior to dialing any
outside number (including those on the Emergency Phone Number List). A
forced account code must be entered at the beginning of a call; however, a
different account code can be entered any time during the call.
NOTE:
With Release 3.0 or later, users can make 911 calls from the Forced
Account Code extensions without entering the account code as long
as 911 has been entered into the Emergency Phone Number List
(#406).
■
You can use Forced Account Code List (#409) to create a list of valid

— For optional or forced account code entry without a Forced Account
Code List, the call report prints the last account code entered.
— For forced account code entry with a Forced Account Code List, the
call report prints the last valid account code entered. If the changed
account code is not valid, the report prints the original account code.

Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407)
Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407)
Description
This System Programming procedure specifies telephone numbers that users can
dial regardless of other dialing restrictions, as long as they have access to an
outside line. For example, if you restrict an entire category of calls through
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404), you can permit calls to a specific
number in that category by placing that number on an Allowed Phone Number
List. Using this procedure, you can create up to eight lists of up to 10 telephone
numbers each.
Related Features
■
After completing this procedure, you must use Allowed List Assignments
(#408) to assign the Allowed Phone Number Lists to specific extensions.
■
Allowed Phone Number Lists override Disallowed Phone Number Lists
(#404) and Outgoing Call Restriction (#401), but not Line Access
Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315) or Night Service
Button (#503) with a System Password (#403). (There are other ways of
for more information.)
■
■
The entries you must make to permit or restrict long-distance calls differ
depending on the setting for Toll Call Prefix (#402). This setting tells the
system whether a “0” (for operator-assisted calls) or “1” (for direct-dial
calls) is required when users make long-distance calls.
If Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, after a valid star code is dialed,
the system resets the dialing restrictions to check the number beginning
with the first digit after the star code II &starcode[v].
Considerations
■
Each list entry can include up to 12 digits. You can use the wildcard
character (by pressing the h button on a system phone) to match any
single digit (it appears as “!” on the telephone display).
■
If you are restricting an extension from placing long-distance calls, do not
place numbers beginning with a “0” on an Allowed Phone Number List for
the extension. Once a user is active on an operator-assisted call, the user
will be able to avoid dialing restrictions by asking the operator to dial
restricted numbers.
■
If you want to go to another programming procedure when entering phone
numbers in a list, you must use N or P to do so since
entering # and a three-digit code will be considered data for the telephone
number.

Automatic Extension Privacy (#304)
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304)
Description
This System Programming procedure lets you prevent a user from joining an
active call at an extension. When Automatic Extension Privacy is Assigned for an
extension, other users cannot join active calls at that extension. This feature is
typically used for standard phones and extensions connected to fax machines,
modems, and credit card scanners, which make and receive data calls that should
not be interrupted. This feature can provide the Privacy function for standard
phones.
Related Features
■
Users cannot join calls in progress on pool buttons regardless of the setting
for this procedure or the state of the Privacy button. See to add a party to a
call in progress on a pool button.
■
To manually change an extension’s Privacy state, system phone users can
program the Privacy feature on a button with lights. Users can then press
the Privacy button to activate the feature (green light on) or deactivate the
feature (green light off) when they want someone to join a call at their
extension. (If Automatic Extension Privacy is Assigned at an extension, the
green light is lit automatically after programming the Privacy button to
indicate that Privacy is currently active. If this is the case, and the Privacy
button is pressed, the feature is deactivated. To activate Privacy again, you
must press the button.)
■
■
This feature applies only to active calls. Any user can retrieve a held call
unless Exclusive Hold is used.
Automatic Extension Privacy must be turned off to use Call Screening
(F25) for other users to join onto a call. If a user bridges onto the call, a
forward disconnect signal is sent to the voice messaging system, causing it
to disconnect from the call. This causes the screening station to be
dropped from the call, and the person who bridged onto the call is now
talking to the calling party.

Automatic Line Selection
Automatic Line Selection
Description
This Telephone Programming procedure determines the line or pool a user is
connected to after lifting the handset or turning on the speaker to make a call. The
system looks for lines or pools in the order specified by this procedure and selects
the first available line or pool. For example, if you specify outside lines or pools
first for an extension, but all outside lines or pools are busy, the user will hear the
intercom dial tone after lifting the handset or turning on the speaker.

settings) to other extensions, you can use Copy Settings (#399).
■
If Forced Account Code Entry (#307) is assigned to an extension,

extension to select outside lines or pools first.
Considerations
■
This feature must be programmed from extension 10 or 11 only, using
Centralized Telephone Programming. Individual users cannot program this
feature directly.
■
You should program Automatic Line Selection when you first enter
Centralized Telephone Programming, before programming any other
features. However, if you want to program both Automatic Line Selection
and Extension Name Display (which also must be programmed when you
first enter Centralized Telephone Programming), first program Automatic
Line Selection, then exit and re-enter Centralized Telephone Programming
to program Extension Name Display.

Key Extension: Outside system lines, Left Intercom ✔
Pooled Extension: Pool 880 button 1, button 2, Left Intercom, Right Intercom ✔
Pools 881-883, individual lines
Examples: System Phone
At key extensions, with Automatic Line Selection at its factory setting, the system
first searches to find an idle outside line in numerical order (starting with the
lowest line number). Then, if all outside lines are busy, the system searches for an
idle intercom line. This order can be changed, however, to accommodate your
business needs. For example, a telemarketing firm with a WATS line (line 5) to
reduce telephone expenses would set Automatic Line Selection for all
telemarketers’ extensions to “05, 01, 02, 03, 04, Intercom.” This way the WATS
line would be selected first.
At pooled extensions, with Automatic Line Selection at its factory setting, the
system first searches to find an available line in the main pool (pool 880 button 1,
then button 2). If all outside lines in the pool are busy, the system selects an idle
intercom line. However, you can change the order to accommodate a different
automatic line selection. For example, your boss prefers her individual line (line
15) to be selected when she lifts the handset then auxiliary pool 881, which is
used for making international calls. To do this, set Automatic Line Selection to
“15, 881, Intercom.”
Examples: Standard Phone
If a standard phone user intends to place intercom calls and access system
features, Automatic Line Selection for his or her extension should be set to
intercom first for proper operation. For example, the setting for a standard phone
in a lobby, used for internal calling or making local calls on line 1, would be
“Intercom, 1.”

Automatic System Answer Button
(#111)—Release 2.0 or Later
This feature is available only on the system phone at extension 10.
This System Programming procedure identifies a button to be used to turn
Automatic System Answer (ASA) on and off. This feature helps the receptionist
answer calls during busy periods.
When an outside call rings on a line programmed with Automatic System Answer,
the system answers it after a specified number of rings and plays a short
user-recorded greeting to the caller. Then, depending on how Automatic System
Answer Mode (#121) is programmed, the system does one of the following:
■
■
■
Places the call on hold at extension 10 (the light next to the line button
winks green at extension 10 and winks red at all other extensions that have
the line); the outside caller hears Music-on-Hold, if it is available.
Continues to ring all extensions that have access to the line (the green light
next to the line button at those extensions flash); the outside caller hears
Music-on-Hold, if it is available.
Disconnects the call.
Related Features
■
Automatic System Answer affects incoming calls only on lines identified
using Automatic System Answer Lines (#204).
■
Calls that ring on lines programmed with Automatic System Answer are
picked up after two rings, as a default. To change the number of rings, use
Automatic System Answer Delay (#110).
■
■
■
You must use Automatic System Answer Record/Playback to record the
greeting callers hear when the system answers an incoming call.
For callers to hear Music-on-Hold, Music-on-Hold (#602) must be Active
and an audio source must be connected to the primary processor module.
You can set SMDR Talk Time (#611) to Active to include the Talk field on
call reports. For an incoming outside call answered by Automatic System
Answer, this field shows the call duration minus the time the greeting
played and the caller waited for someone to answer the call.
■
■
The Automatic System Answer button returns to the status (on/off) it was in
before a power failure occurred or System Reset (#728) was used.
Automatic System Answer Mode should not be set to Hold or Ring if the
disconnect signal from the local telephone company is not recognized by
Hold Disconnect Time (#203).
■
When the Caller ID Log Answered Call (#317) feature is active, Caller ID
calls answered by Automatic System Answer in Disconnect Mode are not

Backup Programming—Automatic (#123)
Backup Programming—Automatic (#123)
Description
The backup of system and telephone programming is optional, but recommended.
This System Programming procedure determines whether the automatic backup
of all programming (except the system date, day, and time) occurs or not. The
default setting is Not Active. When Backup Programming—Automatic is set to
Active, the information is backed up at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month
(determined by the system date and time settings) to a Backup/Restore PC Card.
NOTE:
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA
card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS
to Release 3.0.
If Backup Programming—Automatic is Active and an automatic backup fails, a
Backup-Failure Alarm message appears (instead of the system date and time) on
the top line of the telephone display at idle extensions 10 and 11. The message
will be one of the following:
See Chapter 6, ‘‘Troubleshooting’’ for an explanation of these messages and
suggested corrective actions, and for the procedure for clearing the
Backup-Failure Alarm message.

■
Verify that the System Date (#101), System Day (#102), and System
Time (#103) are set correctly, so that the automatic backup occurs at the
correct time. These settings are not backed up.
■
■
You can use Backup Programming—Manual (#124) in place of or to
supplement the automatic backups, if desired.
Once the system and telephone programming settings have been backed
up to a PC Card, you can use the Restore Programming (#125)
procedure to restore the settings if they become corrupted. You can also
use Restore Programming (#125) to verify the date on a backup file.

Considerations
■
To perform either automatic or manual backups, purchase a
Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies. If the PC Card has not
been installed, see PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions.
■
Whenever the setting for Backup Programming—Automatic is changed
from Not Active to Active, a backup will occur at the next occurrence of
2:00 a.m. After that, backups will be done at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of
each month until the setting is changed back to Not Active.
NOTE:
Although you can change the setting for Backup Programming—
Automatic (#123) without having a Backup/Restore in the PC Card
slot, you must have a PC Card in the slot before a backup can take
place. It is recommended that you leave the Backup/Restore PC Card
in PC Card Slot 2.
■
■
Slot 2 is recommended for the Backup/Restore PC Card; however, either
slot can be used. If the system detects Backup/Restore PC Cards in both
slots when a backup begins, the first slot is used and the second is ignored.
The same Backup/Restore PC Card can be used for both automatic and
manual backups, since the data is recorded in two separate files. An
automatic backup replaces the AUTO.mmddyy file only (where mmddyy
represents the date of the backup in month, day, year format), and a
manual backup replaces the MAN.mmddyy file only. Restore
Programming (#125) asks you to specify which backup file you want to
use.

Calls will continue to be handled normally during an automatic backup.

To perform either manual or automatic backups, purchase a
Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies. If the PC Card has not
been installed, see PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions.
■
■
You must have a Backup/Restore PC Card in the PC Card slot before a
backup can take place. It is recommended that you leave the
Backup/Restore PC Card in PC Card Slot 2.
Slot 2 is recommended for the Backup/Restore PC Card; however, either
slot can be used. If the system detects Backup/Restore PC Cards in both
slots when a backup begins, the first slot is used and the second is ignored.

Backup Programming—Manual (#124)
■
The same Backup/Restore PC Card can be used for both automatic and
manual backups, since the data is recorded in two separate files. An
automatic backup replaces the AUTO.mmddyy file only (where mmddyy
represents the date of the backup in month, day, year format), and a
manual backup replaces the MAN.mmddyy file only. Restore
Programming (#125) asks you to specify which backup file you want to
use.
■
Calls will continue to be handled normally during a manual backup.
Programming
as s and e on system phones.)
To begin a manual backup of system settings:
1. Verify that only one Backup/Restore Card is in the processor module.
2. Press f 0 0 s s# 1 2 4 at extension
10 or 11.
If there is a problem, one of the following messages is displayed:
See Chapter 6, ‘‘Troubleshooting’’ for explanations and corrective actions.
Otherwise, the display instructs you to press Enter to begin the backup.
3. Press e.
A status message is displayed indicating that a backup is in progress, and
within 30 seconds, a message displays indicating the result.
If the backup was successful, the new backup information replaces the
information in the old MAN.mmddyy file on the Backup/Restore PC Card
and the.mmddyy extension now reflects the current date. Backup
information created during a manual backup does not overwrite any
AUTO.mmddyy file. Go to Step 4.
If the backup failed, you see one of the following error messages in the
display:
Go to Step 4 and then see Chapter 6, ‘‘Troubleshooting’’ for explanations

Call Coverage
(F20,XX,XX)—Release 2.0 or Later
Description
This feature redirects all intercom, transferred, and outside calls on lines assigned
ownership from a user’s extension to another system extension (where XX is a
system extension number) for coverage. When Call Coverage is activated,
covered calls are routed to the covering extension after a specified number of
rings. Callers can then leave a message with the person at the covering
extension. This feature is helpful for users who want their callers to have
personalized service when they are unable to answer calls.
Related Features
■
You must use Line Coverage Extension (#208) to designate an extension
as the owner of a specific outside line, so the extension can activate Call
Coverage for that line. An extension’s owned line is eligible for coverage
only if Line Ringing is set to Immediate Ring or Delayed Ring and Line
Access Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315) is set to
No Restriction or In Only.
■
You can use Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320) to specify the number
of times a covered call rings at an extension before it is sent to the covering
extension.
■
■
If Call Coverage and Do Not Disturb are active, covered calls are routed
immediately to the covering extension, without ringing the extension first.
You can turn on Call Coverage while a call is ringing, to send a call
immediately for coverage. Similarly, if Call Coverage is on and a call begins
to ring, you can turn on Do Not Disturb to send that call immediately for
■
If an extension has Call Coverage and VMS Cover active, covered calls
ring at the covering extension for the specified number of Call Coverage
Rings. Then:
— If the covering extension does not answer, the call is routed to the
voice mailbox of the extension that activated Call Coverage after the
specified number of VMS Cover Rings (#117) or (#321).
— If the covering extension has Do Not Disturb active, the call is
routed immediately to the voice mailbox of the extension that
activated Call Coverage.
■
If an extension has Call Coverage active without voice mail coverage,
covered calls ring at the covering extension for the specified number of Call
Coverage Rings. Outside and intercom calls continue to ring at the
covering extension until the call is answered or the caller hangs up.

Call Coverage (F20,XX,XX)—Release 2.0 or Later
For transferred calls:
— If the covering extension does not answer, the call goes to the
transfer return extension after the specified number of Transfer
Return Rings (#105).
— If the covering extension has Do Not Disturb active, the call rings
one more time at the user’s extension before it goes to the transfer
return extension.
■
■
If an extension has Call Coverage and Call Forwarding active, calls are
routed to the Call Forwarding destination extension (Call Forwarding takes
precedence).
If a user at a covering extension has a system display phone and is busy on
a call, he or she can use Caller ID Inspect to view the number of the
extension from which a coverage call is being sent. If a user is not active on
a call and multiple coverage calls are ringing, he or she can press the line,
pool, or i buttons to view the number of the extension from which
each coverage call is being sent; however, if the user picks up the handset,
he or she will join or answer the call that was previously ringing at the
originating extension shown on the display.
■
■
If you want calls answered by Call Coverage to be logged as unanswered
calls, use the Call Log Line Associations (#318) feature to associate the
lines with extensions for logging unanswered calls.
■
You can use this feature while using Call Screening (F25).
Considerations
■
A system display phone is recommended for the covering extension so the
user can identify coverage calls. Coverage Call for XXappears on the
display when a coverage call rings at a covering extension rather than
Caller ID information, if available.
■
■
If the covering extension has an Auto Dial button for the originating
extension, the light shows green flutter while the coverage call is ringing at
the covering extension. If the user at the extension lifts the handset, he or
she will be connected to this call.
Intercom, transferred, and outside calls on lines assigned ownership can
be covered. Group calls, forwarded calls, transfer-return calls,
voice-signaled calls, Voice Interrupt on Busy calls, Wake-Up Service calls,
and calls to doorphone alert extensions cannot be covered.
■
■
Do not designate any of the extensions in Hunt Group 7, which contains the
extensions associated with the voice messaging system, as a covering
extension.
A single extension can cover multiple extensions; however, an extension
programmed for Call Coverage can have only one covering extension. Only
one Call Coverage button can be programmed per extension.

Call Screening (F25)—Release 3.0 or Later
Description
This feature applies only if you have a voice messaging system, and an MLS
or PARTNER system phone. This feature is not available on Tip/Ring
phones.
Call Screening allows a user to listen to a caller leaving a message in the user’s
mailbox.
NOTE:
It is recommended for security purposes that you use Station Lock (F21) to
prevent misuse of this feature. If Station Lock (F21) is activated, Call
Screening will not work.
Centralized Programming is required to program Call Screening on an extension
button. Once the button is programmed, the user can turn the feature on (“prime”
it) by pressing the button. Calls will now be screened until the user turns the
feature off by pressing the button again.
When the feature is primed, Call Screening begins once the voice mail system
has answered the call. While the call is being screened, the user is connected to
the call in a listen-only mode on the speakerphone. The user is able to hear both
the outgoing announcement and the incoming caller leaving the message.
One call can be screened at a time at an extension. If more than one call is
ringing, the system uses the ringing line order procedure to determine which of
the eligible calls to screen.
Once Call Screening begins, the user can:
■
Answer the screened call by going off-hook on the handset. This causes
voice mail to drop off the call.
■
Turn the feature off by pressing the call screening button again. The
telephone drops off the call, but the voice mail system will not drop off the
call.
■
Answer or place another call. This causes the telephone to drop off the call
LED Indicators
A green steady LED for the button indicates that Call Screening is primed, but not
currently screening any calls. While a call is being screened, the button LEDs
alternately flash red and green to indicate that the connection has been
established. Green off/red off indicates that Call Screening is not primed.

Dialable features that will interrupt Call Screening are: Last Number
Redial (F05), Station Lock (F21), Personal Speed Dial Numbers
(F80-89), and System Speed Dial Numbers (F600-699).
Programmed buttons that will interrupt Call Screening are: Do Not Disturb
(F01), Save Number Redial (F04), Last Number Redial (F05), and
Station Lock (F21).
If the voice messaging system extension does not have Automatic
Extension Privacy (#304) turned on, other users can bridge onto the call.
If a user bridges onto the call, a forward disconnect signal is sent to the
voice messaging system and it disconnects from the call. This causes the
screening station to be dropped from the call, and the person who bridged
onto the call is now talking to the calling party.
Considerations
■
Call Screening must be programmed on a button with lights. For security
purposes, this is only permitted using Centralized Extension Programming.
■
■
■
This feature is not available at tip and ring, proprietary cordless, or wireless
telephones.
This feature can be primed only by pressing the programmed button. It
cannot be accessed by dialing the Call Screening feature access code.
An incoming call can be screened at that station only if the station is the
Line Coverage Extension for that line, the call has been transferred to that
station, or the call is an intercom call to the station.
■
■
If the user is currently on a line or intercom call, Call Screening will be ignored.
After a call has been sent to the voice mail system, the Call Screening
feature cannot be used to screen that call. This feature must be primed
before or while the call is ringing at the telephone.

Call Waiting (#316)
Description
This feature applies only to standard phones.
This System Programming procedure specifies standard phone extensions that
are eligible for Call Waiting. Users who receive a call waiting tone hear two beeps
when they are on a call to indicate a second incoming intercom, transferred, or
outside call. The user can press the switchhook (or Recall or Flash button, if
available) to put the current call on hold and retrieve the second call. To return to
the first call, the user simply presses the switchhook again.

This feature is distinct from the local telephone company’s Call Waiting
feature. If you use this system feature, do not use your local telephone
company’s Call Waiting feature.
■
■
The Call Waiting tone (two beeps) is not repeated.
Use Call Waiting only for standard phone extensions. Do not assign Call
Waiting to extensions that have fax machines, credit card scanners,
modems, or auto attendants because the call-waiting tone will interrupt the
data connection.
■
■
You cannot transfer either party connected using Call Waiting, conference
in additional parties, or use feature codes while both calls are active.
Transfer-return, group call distribution, hunt group, and wake-up calls are
not considered incoming calls for this feature.

Caller ID
Description
Caller ID is available on system display phones on all lines for which you
subscribe to Caller ID service. Caller ID information is the caller’s telephone
number (or name, if available). When active on a call, a user automatically
receives Caller ID information for the duration of the call. When an extension is
idle, a user receives Caller ID information for the call the user will be connected to
when the handset is lifted. This feature requires no special programming;
however, you must subscribe to Caller ID service (if it is available) on a per-line
basis from your local telephone company and connect Caller ID lines to the
appropriate system modules.

■
Any users who have access to Caller ID line(s) will receive Caller ID
information on their system display phones. You can restrict users from
viewing Caller ID information using the following procedures:
— For ringing calls, you can block Caller ID from displaying at specific
extensions by restricting access to the Caller ID lines. Use Line
Access Restriction (#302) to restrict access to lines, Pooled
Access Restriction (#315) to restrict access to all lines within a
specific pool, or both procedures for pooled extensions that have
pools and lines.
— For active calls, you can activate Privacy at your extension to
prevent other users from joining your calls and from accessing the
Caller ID information displayed at your extension.
— For held calls, use Exclusive Hold rather than Hold to prevent other
users from picking up your held call and from accessing the Caller
ID information associated with the held call.
■
There are two ways to inspect Caller ID lines:
— If you are active on a call, you automatically get Caller ID information
for that call. However, If you want to view Caller ID information for a
second call without ending the active call or putting it on hold, use
Caller ID Inspect.
— If you are not active on a call, you can press line buttons to view
Caller ID information for those lines; however, keep in mind that if
you pick up the handset you will join or answer the call shown on the
display.
■
In some regions, users will have the option to subscribe to the name
service for Caller ID. This service allows the user to have a name and/or
number associated with Caller ID information. If you want access to the

name, you can program Caller ID Name Display onto a button with lights.
This allows users to toggle between the Name and Number for an incoming
call.
■
■
Caller ID information does not display for extensions active on Conference
Calls.
If users receive a call routed to their extension by Direct Extension Dial, a
voice messaging system, or automated attendant, the Caller ID information
is passed to their extension when they answer the call.
■
■
If users Transfer a call, the Caller ID information is passed to the
destination extension.
If users send calls for Call Coverage, the Caller ID information is not
passed to the covering extension. “Coverage Call for XX” appears instead
so the user at the covering extension can identify the person for whom the
call was originally intended.
■
A user at a covering extension who has a system display phone and who is
busy on a call can use Caller ID Inspect to view the number of the
extension from which a Call Coverage call is being sent. If users are not
active on a call and multiple coverage calls are ringing, they can press line,
pool, and intercom buttons to view the number of the extension from which
each coverage call is being sent; however, if they pick up the handset they
will join or answer the call indicated on the display.
■
■
Caller ID information is displayed if you Join a call; however, you cannot
join a call at any extension that has Privacy activated.
Caller ID information is displayed if users pick up calls with Direct Line
Pickup—Active Line, Call Pickup, or Group Pickup, but the restrictions
stated previously apply.
■
For incoming calls, Caller ID information displays only when a call is
audibly alerting at an extension. This means that extensions with Do Not
Disturb activated or extensions that have lines with Line Ringing set to No
Ring do not receive Caller ID information. However, Caller ID information is
displayed once the call is answered or if the line is preselected.
■
■
Caller ID Type (#122) can be set to either USA or Singapore. For proper
operation in the United States, leave the default setting, USA.
Users can view Caller ID information for unanswered central office calls on
predesignated lines and unanswered directed calls using the Caller ID Call
Logging and Dialing (F23) feature. Users can also program this feature to
log answered calls using the Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317)
programming procedure.
■
Caller ID Log Answered Calls can be used while using Call Screening
(F24).
Considerations
■
Subscriptions to Caller ID service are on a per-line basis.

■
The lines associated with Caller ID must be connected to a line jack on a
PARTNER ACS processor module, 206EC module, 308EC module, or
400EC module. For more information, refer to the PARTNER Advanced
Communications System Installation guide.
Caller ID information is passed to an extension between the first and
second ring. To receive Caller ID information, wait until the second ring
before answering the call.
■
■
Individuals with Call Waiting from the local telephone company will not
receive Caller ID information for the second call.
Not all calls on Caller ID lines are displayed. This varies by local phone
company. When Caller ID information is not captured, the system date and
day (default) displays instead.
■
The incoming telephone number replaces the system date and time display
on system phones for the duration of the call. An out-of-area message (- - -
- - - - - - - - -) displays if a call is being dialed from a region that does not
support Caller ID. A privacy message (Priv.) displays if the caller has
blocked transmission of Caller ID information.
■
If you use SMDR, telephone numbers of incoming calls print on call reports
after the call is completed. (Private and out-of-area numbers are reported
as “IN” on call reports.)

Caller ID Log Answered Calls
(#317)—Release 2.0 or Later
Description
This feature is available on 24-character PARTNER 18D and 34D display
phones. It is not available for the MLS, MLC, MDW or Tip/Ring phones.
This programming procedure allows a system administrator to program
extensions to log answered Caller ID calls so that calls answered at an individual
extension can be viewed in the Caller ID Call Log. Once the feature is activated for
an extension, when a user activates the Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing
(F23) all caller ID calls that are answered by that extension will be logged. A
telephone symbol (a vertical handset) appears in the Call Status Display to
indicate that the call being viewed has been answered.
The Caller ID Log Answered Call feature is useful when users may have no other
way of tracking callers’ phone numbers. For example, a sales representative who
takes phone orders could find a number in the log for a caller whose credit card
information was later determined to be invalid.

(F23)—Release 2.0 or Later
Description
This feature is available on 24-character PARTNER 18D and 34D display
phones. It is not available for the MLS, MLC, MDW or Tip/Ring phones.
Once the system administrator assigns the Caller ID Call Log Line Association
(#318), Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317), and/or the Caller ID Log All Calls
(#319) features to log Caller ID calls, you use Caller ID Logging and Dialing
(F23) to view the log. Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing is available on system
display phones on all phones for which you subscribe to a Caller ID service. This
feature gives users the ability to view Caller ID information for unanswered Central
Office calls and unanswered Central Office calls transferred to an extension.
Up to 400 call records can be stored for the system. Each line that is associated
with an extension to log Caller ID calls is guaranteed a minimum of 20 call
records.
In addition, users can automatically dial the number stored in the log.
The call records stored in each user’s call log and available for viewing depends
on the following:
■
■
■
■
Unanswered transferred calls are logged automatically, whether or not the
line and extension are associated with the Call Logging features.
If Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317) is used alone, all Caller ID calls
that are answered by that extension are logged.
If Caller ID Log Line Association (#318) is used alone, all unanswered
Caller ID calls that ring on a line associated with the extension are logged.
If both Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317) and Caller ID Log Line
Association (#318) are used, all Caller ID calls that are answered by that
extension and all unanswered Caller ID calls that ring on a line associated
with the extension are logged.
■
If both Caller ID Log Line Association (#318) and Caller ID Log All Calls
(#319) are used, all answered Caller ID calls and all unanswered Caller ID
calls received at any extension on specific lines are logged. This
combination can be assigned to a maximum of one extension per system.
The Caller ID information is shown on three screens:
■
The first screen shows the caller’s number (or the reason that the number
is not available).
■
The second screen shows the caller’s name (or the reason that the name is
not available).

Caller ID calls transferred to a group are logged at every extension that
alerts in the group if no one in the group answers the call. However, if a
user answers the call at any extension in the group, it is not logged as
unanswered at any extension.
■
If a Caller ID call is answered by the Direct Extension Dial feature and the
caller hangs up without dialing an extension, the call is not logged at any
extension. However, if a caller dials an extension that is associated with the
Caller ID Logging feature, the call is logged as unanswered if it is not
answered at the extension.
■
■
To prevent unauthorized persons from viewing the log, Caller ID calls
cannot be viewed at a locked station.
The date and time of an incoming call is logged from the Central Office.
Therefore, the date and time of the call that a user sees on the system
display phone may be different from the date and time reported in the
SMDR report for the extension.
■
You can use this feature while using Call Screening (F25).

Examples
The examples below show how unanswered Caller ID information is logged:
■
Line 6 is associated with extensions 11 and 12 for Call Logging. If a Central
Office call rings and is not answered on line 6, it is logged as “unanswered”
on extensions 11 and 12. If it is answered, it is logged only if the answering
extension has been programmed to log answered calls or to log all calls.
■
■
Line 5 is associated with extension 11 for call logging. A user at extension
11 answers a call, transfers it to extension 12, and the caller hangs up
before it is answered. The call is logged as unanswered at extension 12.
When a call is answered, it is not logged unless the system has been
programmed to log answered calls using the Caller ID Log Answered
Calls (#317) programming procedure or an extension is programmed to
answer all calls using the Caller ID Log Line Assignment (#318) and
Caller ID Log All Calls (#319) features.

(#319)—Release 2.0 or Later
Description
This feature is available on 24-character PARTNER 18D and 34D display
phones. It is not available for the MLS, MLC, MDW or Tip/Ring phones.
This programming procedure allows the system administrator to program a
maximum of one extension to log all answered Caller ID calls and all unanswered
Caller ID calls received at any extension on specific lines. The system
administrator must use the Caller ID Call Log Line Association (#318)
programming procedure to associate lines with the extension that will log all calls,
then use the Caller ID Log All Calls (#319) feature to allow the extension to log
all Caller ID calls on the associated lines. Once the features are activated for an
extension, when the user activates the Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing (F23),
all caller ID calls that are answered or answered by any extension on the
associated lines are logged. A telephone symbol (a vertical handset) appears in
the Call Status Display to indicate that the call being viewed has been answered.
The Caller ID Log All Calls feature is useful when a centralized user needs
information for all calls received in the system. For example, a supervisor could
use the log for quality assurance by contacting callers and inquiring about the
customer’s satisfaction with the results of the call.

Caller ID Type (#122)
Description
This System Programming procedure can be set for Singapore or USA operation.
USA Operation
Caller ID normally displays the number from which the incoming call is coming,
replacing the system date and time display on system phones for the duration of
the call. An out-of-area message (- - - - - - - - - - - -) displays if a call is being dialed
from a region that does not support Caller ID. A privacy message (Priv.) displays if
the caller has blocked transmission of Caller ID information.
Singapore Operation
Caller ID normally displays the number from which the incoming call is coming.
When there is no incoming number, the system detects a “P” or an “O” in the
“reason for DN (Directory Number) absence” field, and substitutes the information
sent by the local telephone company Central Office in the Name parameter field:
■
If the name is supplied, the system displays it.
■
If the name is not supplied, either Priv. or - - - - - - - - - - - - is displayed.

Calling Group Extensions (#502)
Calling Group Extensions (#502)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies the extensions in a Calling
Group—a group of extensions that can be called at the same time. Any user in the
system can ring or page all extensions in a Calling Group at the same time or
transfer a call to a Calling Group; the first extension to pick up the call is
connected to the caller. This feature is useful for conversing with any individual in
a specific group such as a sales pool or for paging all individuals in the group. The
system can have up to four Calling Groups.
Related Features

Conference Calls
Conference Calls
Description
This section explains how to set up conference calls using the C button on a
system phone or the switchhook on a standard phone. A conference call connects
up to five parties (including the conference originator) in a single call. Users can
connect both outside and inside parties in a conference call, but the call cannot
include more than two outside parties.
Related Features
■
You can use Outside Conference Denial (#109) to disallow conference
calls with multiple outside parties.
■
During the conference call, any inside party can exit the call at any time
simply by hanging up. However, if an outside party hangs up during a
conference call, the callers that remain in the conference may hear a dial
tone. Use Conference Drop to remove the last-added outside party from a
conference call.
■
Caller ID information does not display for extensions that are active on a
conference call.
Considerations
■
Users can use System Speed Dial, Personal Speed Dial, or Auto Dial
numbers to add parties to the conference.
■
Do not add a busy or ringing outside call to a conference; if you do, all
callers hear the busy or ringing signal. If you hear a busy signal or the party
does not answer, reconnect with the held party by pressing the line button.
■
■
Users cannot join a conference call; the originator must add each party to
the conference.
If the conference originator puts the call on hold, other parties can continue
to talk. Other inside parties can put their extensions on hold if there are
outside parties on the conference call.
■
■
■
When the originator hangs up, the conference is disconnected.
Conference calls cannot be transferred.
If you are using the system behind a PBX or Centrex system, the PBX or
Centrex system may include a conference calling feature that lets you
connect multiple callers on a single PBX or Centrex line. The number of
callers you can connect depends on your PBX or Centrex system. For
more information about such features, see the documentation for your PBX
or Centrex system. (When your Centrex or PBX documentation tells you to
use a switchhook flash, use the Recall feature instead.)

■
Outside parties may be harder to hear on a conference call than on a
two-party call, depending on the number of parties and the outside lines
connected to the system.
■
■
This feature cannot be used with Call Screening (F25).
With standard phones, you can only do three-way conferencing.

3. Set up the call to the second party.
You are connected with the second party. If you are adding an inside party
to a call, you must wait until the party answers. If you are active on a call
using a pool button and you want to set up a conference call using one of
the other lines in that pool, you can press i and dial the pool’s
access code to gain access to another line in that pool.
4. Press C again to add the second party to the call.
You can now speak with the first and second parties.
5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to add more parties.

3. To add an outside party, dial 9 or a pool access code plus the outside
number. If the number is busy or does not answer, hang up and the first
party rings back.
To add an inside party, dial the two-digit extension number. If the extension
is busy or does not answer, press the switchhook down once rapidly and
you are reconnected with the first party.
4. When the second party answers, press the switchhook down once rapidly.
You are now connected with both parties.

Contact Closure (F41 and F42)
Description
The system can drive an optional Contact Closure Adjunct with two Contact
Closures to operate auxiliary devices such as electronic door locks. You can
assign one or more extensions to a Contact Closure Group for each of these
Contact Closures. Only these extensions can control the activation of the Contact
Closures by using f 4 1 for Contact Closure 1 and f 4 2 for
Contact Closure 2, or by programming these dial codes onto buttons on their
requirements for the Contact Closure Adjunct.
Related Features
■
Before a user can activate a Contact Closure, you must assign the user’s
extension to the Contact Closure Group (#612) for that Contact Closure.
■
Use Contact Closure Operation Type (#613) to specify how long the
Contact Closure remains active when activated.
If the Contact Closure Operation Type is set to Toggle, one user can
activate the Contact Closure and another user can deactivate it, provided
both users are included in the Contact Closure Group for that Contact
Closure.
When the Contact Closure Operation Type is set to Toggle, if a user
activates the Contact Closure (so that the toggle is On) and then a power
failure occurs, the toggle automatically changes to Off as a security
measure.
■
If you plan to use a Contact Closure to control a door lock, you may also
want to install a doorphone at that door. Use Doorphone Extension (#604
or #605) to identify the extension to which the doorphone is connected,
and Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606) to identify the extensions that
signal when the doorphone button is pressed. You can assign some or all
of the Doorphone Alert extensions to a Contact Closure Group (#612), so
that users at those extensions can control the door lock.
■
You can use this feature while using Call Screening (F25).
Considerations
It is recommended that users program f 4 1 and/or f 4 2 on
buttons with lights so that they can monitor the status of the Contact Closures.
The button’s green light will light when the Contact Closure is activated by that
user, and the red light will light when the Contact Closure is activated by another
user in that Contact Closure Group. The light will go out when the Contact Closure
is deactivated.

Direct Extension Dial Button
(#113)—Release 2.0 or Later
Description
This feature is available only on the system phone at extension 10.
This System Programming procedure identifies a button to be used to turn Direct
Extension Dial (DXD) on and off. This feature permits an outside caller to dial an
extension or Hunt Group directly, without the aid of the receptionist. With Release
3.0 or later, DXD calls also can be transferred directly into a Calling Group. It is
ideal for outside callers who frequently talk with specific employees or service
groups, and know the extension number they are trying to reach. When an outside
call rings on a line programmed with Direct Extension Dial, the system picks it up
after a specified number of rings and plays a short message prompting the caller
to dial the digits of the designated extension, Hunt Group, or Calling Group.
Related Features
■
Do not use this feature in places where Hold Disconnect Time (#203) is
not recognized, because if a caller hangs up after Direct Extension Dial
answers, the line will appear to be busy.
■
■
■
The Direct Extension Dial button returns to the status (on/off) it was in
before a power failure occurred or System Reset (#728) was used.
Direct Extension Dial affects incoming calls only on lines identified using
Direct Extension Dial Lines (#205).
Calls that ring on Direct Extension Dial lines are picked up after two rings,
as a default. To change the number of rings, use Direct Extension Dial
Delay (#112).
■
■
■
You must use Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback to record a
message to prompt callers to dial an extension, Hunt Group, or Calling
Group number after the system answers an outside call.
If Direct Extension Dial is on, callers hear ringing when the call is
transferred regardless of the Music-on-Hold (#602) or Ring on Transfer
(#119) setting.
By default, unanswered calls return to extension 10. You can use Transfer
Return Extension (#306) to specify a different Transfer Return Extension
for extension 10. In this case, all unanswered Direct Extension Dial calls
return to the specified extension as do unanswered calls manually
transferred by extension 10.
■
If Do Not Disturb (F01) is active at a directly dialed extension, the call
returns to extension 10 (or its transfer return extension), unless Call
Forwarding (F11), Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320), or VMS Cover
Rings (#117) or (#321) is used.

You can set SMDR Talk Time (#611) to Active to include the Talk field on
call reports. For an incoming outside call answered by Direct Extension
Dial, this field shows the call duration minus the time the greeting played
and the caller waited for someone to answer the call.
Automatic System Answer (#121) is an alternative system answering
feature that aids the receptionist during busy periods.
Considerations
■
The Automatic System/Direct Extension Dial PC card is purchased
separately and must be installed (see PARTNER PC Card Installation
Instructions).
■
■
Use the Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback to record a message
before using Direct Extension Dial since there is no default message.
It is recommended that you use only one automated answering option for
incoming calls (either this feature, the Automated Attendant Service of the
voice messaging system, or a PARTNER Attendant).
■
■
This feature can handle three outside calls simultaneously.
If you have lines programmed for Direct Extension Dial and Automatic
System Answer, Direct Extension Dial answers the call first.

Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404)
Description
This System Programming procedure specifies telephone numbers that users
cannot dial. For example, you may want to prevent calls to a specific telephone
number or to categories of numbers, such as international numbers. Use this
procedure to create up to eight lists of up to 10 telephone numbers each.
Related Features
■
After completing this procedure, you must use Disallowed List
Assignments (#405) to assign the Disallowed Phone Number Lists to
specific extensions.
■
■
Allowed Phone Numbers, Emergency Phone Numbers, and Marked
System Speed Dial Numbers override the Disallowed List.
The entries you must make to permit or restrict toll calls differ depending on
the setting for Toll Call Prefix (#402). This setting tells the system whether
a “0” (for operator-assisted calls) or “1” (for direct-dial calls) is required
when you make toll calls.
■
If Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, the system checks for allowed and
disallowed phone numbers again beginning with the first digit after the star
code.
Considerations
■
Each list entry can include up to 12 digits. You can use the wildcard
character (by pressing the h button on a system phone) to match any
single digit (it appears as “!” on the telephone display).
■
■
When a user dials a number that is on a Disallowed List for the user’s
extension, the user hears a reorder tone (fast busy signal) after dialing the
part of the number that is stored in the list (for example, an area code).
If you want to go to another programming procedure when entering phone
numbers in a list, you must use N or P to do so since
entering # and a three-digit code will be considered data for the telephone
number.
Valid Entries
Up to 12 digits including 0–9, #, *, and h (any single digit)

Do Not Disturb (F01)
Do Not Disturb (F01)
Description
This feature is available only on system phones.
This feature lets a system phone user press a programmed button to prevent
incoming calls for the extension from audibly alerting (lights still flash). When Do
Not Disturb is on, outside callers hear ringing while inside callers hear a busy
signal. This feature is recommended only if someone answers outside calls for
your extension when you do not answer them.
Related Features
■
Caller ID information for incoming calls displays only when a call is audibly
alerting at an extension. This means that extensions with Do Not Disturb
activated do not receive Caller ID information, unless the call is answered.
■
Users with Automatic VMS Cover (#310) Assigned or with VMS Cover
turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to Send All Calls immediately to
their voice mailbox.
■
■
Users with Call Coverage turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to Send All
Calls immediately to the covering extension.
You cannot use Call Screening (F25) with this feature turned on.
Considerations
■
This feature requires a button with lights. When the Do Not Disturb feature
is on, the light is also on, indicating that the phone will not ring.
■
■
Use this feature when you do not want the auto attendant or the voice
messaging system to transfer calls to you.
Use this feature if you are assigned to a Hunt Group and you leave your
desk, so calls to the Hunt Group will skip your extension and ring
immediately at the next available extension in the group.

To avoid missing calls when this feature is not needed, turn it off.
If Do Not Disturb is active at a doorphone alert extension, the person at the
doorphone hears signaling, but the alert extension is not signaled.

Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606)
Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies extensions that are signaled when
a doorphone button is pressed. When a person uses the doorphone, it signals all
alert extensions at the same time. If the alert extension is a system phone, the call
signals with a unique ding-dong sound to distinguish it from other calls.
Additionally, if you have two doorphones, they signal with different tones so you
can distinguish between them.
Related Features
■
■
■
You must use Doorphone Extensions (#604 and #605) to identify the
extensions to which doorphones are connected.
If Do Not Disturb is active at a doorphone alert extension, the person at
the doorphone hears signaling, but the alert extension is not signaled.
If a Contact Closure on the Contact Closure Adjunct controls a door lock,
consider assigning the Doorphone Alert Extensions to the Contact
Closure Group (#612) for that Contact Closure. Only extensions assigned
to that Contact Closure Group can activate the door lock.
Considerations
You cannot bridge two doorphones together.

Doorphone Extension (#604 and #605)
Description
Each of these System Programming procedures identifies an extension to which a
doorphone is connected. A doorphone is usually placed near an entrance, to
screen visitors. You can connect up to two doorphones to the system—use
Doorphone 1 Extension (#604) to identify the extension to which the first
doorphone is connected and Doorphone 2 Extension (#605) to identify the
extension to which the second doorphone is connected.
Related Features
■
You must use Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606) to identify the
extensions that are signaled when the doorphone button is pressed. Each
doorphone can signal any number of alert extensions.
■
To prevent outside calls from being made or received on the doorphone,
use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines and/or Pool
Extension Assignment (#314) to remove all pools from the doorphone
extension. (Automatic Line Selection for the doorphone extension will be
automatically set to select intercom lines first.)
■
You can use Message Light On with the doorphone (for example, the
doorphone’s light flashes as a prearranged signal to a delivery person)
provided the doorphone is connected to a PARTNER ACS processor
module or to an R3.0 206 or later module in a system that is equipped with
a PARTNER ACS processor module.
■
You can wire a Contact Closure on the Contact Closure Adjunct to activate
an electronic lock on the door with the doorphone. Then use Contact
Closure Group (#612) to assign extensions to control the door lock. Use
Contact Closure Operation Type (#613) to specify how long the Contact
Closure remains active when it is activated. Users in the Contact Closure
Group can use the Contact Closure dial code to activate the Contact
Closure, or they can program the dial code on a button on their phones.
Considerations
■
An extension cannot be used for a doorphone and a hotline at the same
time. However, hotlines and doorphones can have the same alert
extensions.
■
You should not assign doorphones to extension 10, 11, or to the first two
extensions of any 206 or 308EC modules.

Emergency Phone Number List (#406)
Description
This System Programming procedure creates a list of up to 10 telephone numbers
that all users can dial regardless of dialing restrictions provided they have access
to an outside line. Typical list entries include fire, police, and emergency services
numbers.
Related Features
■
With Release 2.0 and earlier, if an extension is programmed for Forced
Account Code Entry (#307), a user at the extension is required to enter
an account code before dialing a number in the Emergency Phone Number
List.
■
With Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can dial
numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List without entering an
account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code
extensions without entering the account code as long as 911 has been
entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.
■
The entries you must make to permit or restrict toll calls differ depending on
the setting for Toll Call Prefix (#402). This setting tells the system whether
a “0” (for operator-assisted calls) or “1” (for direct-dial calls) is required
when you make toll calls.
Considerations
■
Each telephone number can include up to 12 digits.
■
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to
emergency numbers, you should: 1) remain on the line and briefly explain
to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up, and 2) perform
such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.

Exclusive Hold (F02)
Description
This feature is available only on system phones.
This feature prevents other extensions from picking up outside calls placed on
hold at a specific extension with a system phone.
Related Features
You can use the Hold button to put calls on regular hold (any extension can pick
up the held call).
Considerations
■
You can program an Exclusive Hold button on a system phone to use the
feature with one touch.
■
For system phones, if a call is left on hold for longer than one minute, the

Extension Name Display
Description
Users can assign a name to their extension: up to 20 characters long on
PARTNER-model phones, up to 12 characters long on MLS-model phones. Then,
when that extension is used to make an intercom, group, or transferred call, the
name appears on the system display phone receiving the call. Similarly, users
receiving a transfer return call see the name of the person assigned to the
extension that did not answer the transferred call.
Related Features
Display Language (#303) has no effect on this feature. This means that the
extension name displays exactly as it is programmed.
Considerations
■
Any extension, regardless of the phone type on that extension, can be
programmed with a name through Centralized Telephone Programming. If
users want to program their own extension name, they must have a system
display phone at their extension.

Feature Reference
Fax CNG Detection
(#505, Group 8)—Release 3.0 or Later
Description
To use Fax CNG Detection, you must have a voice messaging system or
ASA/DXD. You must also have your system configured in one of these
ways:
■
■
■
Partner ACS as a stand-alone module
308EC version 2 module in slot 1; any modules in remaining slots
200/206/400 module in slot 1, 308EC version 2 module in any other
slot
Fax CNG Detection will not work if you have a 308EC version 1 module in
slot 1.
This feature allows voice calls and fax calls to be received on the same line, which
eliminates the need for a dedicated fax line.
When the start button on a fax machine is pressed, the fax machine sets up to
send a fax. The sending fax machine sends a special tone called a calling tone or
CNG tone. This tone is sent while the call is being dialed, connected through the
network, ringing, until the call is answered. If another fax machine answers, the
appropriate signals are sent back to the calling fax machine to send the fax
transmission.
When an incoming call is answered by PVM, PMVS, PARTNER MAIL or
ASA/DXD, PARTNER ACS determines if the incoming call is a fax. If the system is
set up to automatically route incoming fax calls to fax machine(s), ACS will
automatically transfer the call to a fax hunt group (Hunt Group 8).
Related Features
You may want to use Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to prevent other
extensions with the same line from joining a fax call at the extension and
interrupting it.
Considerations
When lines appear on a fax extension, you will want to make sure that the fax
machine does not automatically answer outside calls on these lines. There are
three ways you can do this:
■
Set the fax machine for delayed pickup.
■
Use Line Ringing to change the ring options on the fax extension to either
delayed ring or no ring.
5-135
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Feature Reference
■
(Recommended) Use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines
from the fax extension.
Other points to consider:
■
Incoming fax detection is activated automatically by assigning extensions
to Hunt Group 8. Hunt Group 8 should not be used as a standard hunt
group, since incoming calls are automatically transferred to this hunt group.
■
If a PARTNER MAIL system is connected to the ACS system and fax
detection is being done via PARTNER MAIL, no extensions should be
assigned to Hunt Group 8 on the ACS system.
■
■
If there are no touch tone receivers capable of detecting a CNG tone, the
call is treated as an incoming voice call.
It could take up to eight seconds after a call is answered before the system
determines that the incoming call is a fax call. The ASA/DXD, PVM, PMVS
or PARTNER MAIL message should be at least this long so that the CNG
tone can be detected before the message ends and the call can be
transferred.
Programming
1. Press f 0 0 s s # 5 0 5 at extension
10 or 11.
2. At the Hunt Group prompt, enter 8.
3. At the Extension: prompt, enter the desired extension number. For

Forced Account Code Entry (#307)
Description
This feature applies only to system phones.
This System Programming procedure identifies specific extensions at which users
must enter an account code prior to making outside calls. The account code can
be used to charge telephone calls to a department or client; the account code
prints on call reports if you are using SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording)
or a call accounting package.
Related Features
■
Account Code Entry provides instructions on entering forced account
codes.
■
You can use Forced Account Code List (#409) to create a list of valid
account codes. If a Forced Account Code List exists, the system checks
the list whenever a user enters a forced account code. If a forced account
code is valid, the system provides access to an outside line. If a forced
account code is invalid, the system denies access to an outside line—to
dial out, the user must repeat the procedure for entering a forced account
code.
■
For Release 2.0 or earlier, extensions programmed with this feature are
restricted from dialing outside phone numbers on all lines at the
extension— including numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List
(#406) —until an account code is entered. If a Forced Account Code List
exists, the account code must match an entry on the list for the user to get
an outside line.
■
For ACS Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can dial
numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) without entering
an account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code
extensions without entering the account code as long as 911 has been
entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.
■
■
Account codes can be entered manually or using System Speed Dial
Numbers, Personal Speed Dial Numbers, and Auto Dialing (but not
Marked System Speed Dial Numbers).
Automatic Line Selection does not apply for an extension programmed

Forced Account Code List (#409)
Description
This System Programming procedure lets you identify a list of up to 99 account
code verification entries for extensions that are forced to enter account codes.
Once a list is created, any user at an extension programmed for Forced Account
Code Entry must enter a valid account code—one that matches a list entry—
before being allowed to make an outside call. This feature ensures that only
authorized users with valid account codes can make outside calls.
Related Features
■
An extension must be programmed for Forced Account Code Entry
(#307) for the Forced Account Code List to have any effect.
■
Account Code Entry provides instructions for entering forced account
codes.
Considerations
■
For ACS Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can dial
numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) without entering
an account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code
extensions without entering the account code as long as 911 has been
entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.
■
■
If you do not create a Forced Account Code List, the system does not verify
the account codes dialed at extensions that are required to enter them.
To validate an account code, the system compares the first six digits of a
user-entered account code to the entries on the Forced Account Code List.
For a match to be successful, the user must dial at least the account code’s
associated list entry, even though the user can dial up to 16 digits for an
account code. If the system identifies a match, the user can dial an outside
number. If no match occurs, the user is denied access to an outside line
and must re-enter a valid account code to dial out.
■
Each list entry can include up to six digits. You can use the wildcard
character (by pressing the h button on a system phone) to match any
single digit (it appears as “!” on the telephone display).

Group Call Distribution (#206)
Group Call Distribution (#206)
Description
This System Programming procedure assigns outside lines to Hunt Groups. Doing
so allows outside calls to ring directly into a Hunt Group instead of being
answered and transferred by the receptionist. You can assign lines to Hunt
Groups 1–7. (Hunt Group 7 is used exclusively for the voice messaging system,
and Hunt Group 8 is used for fax transfer and detection.)
Related Features
■
You must use Hunt Group Extensions (#505) to assign extensions to
Hunt Groups.
■
■
If you assign lines to Hunt Group 7 for the voice messaging system’s
Automated Attendant Service, you may want to adjust when the lines
Schedule (#507) for more information.
If you are using a voice messaging system, you have two Group Call
Distribution options:
— If you want Automated Attendant Service for some or all lines,
Assign (setting 1) those lines to Hunt Group 7.
— If you want calls to route directly to the voice mailbox of a specific
user after four rings, choose VMS Line Cover (setting 3) for those
lines and assign a line owner in the voice messaging system. For
more information about voice messaging system options, refer to
the documentation shipped with the voice messaging system.
As an alternative to the VMS Line Cover setting, you can use Line
Coverage Extension (#208) with VMS Cover. This provides more
flexibility because it lets you specify the number of times calls ring (using
VMS Cover Rings (#117) or (#321)) at the user’s extension before going
to the user’s mailbox. In addition, if the user’s extension has Do Not
Disturb on, calls on the line can go immediately to coverage.
Considerations
■
■
■
Each outside line can be assigned to only one Hunt Group.
Assign only fax extensions to Hunt Group 8.
If a Hunt Group that has outside lines assigned receives an outside call
and all members of that Hunt Group are busy (or have Do Not Disturb on),
the caller hears ringing, which continues until the call is answered.

Feature Reference
Examples
Here are some useful applications for Group Call Distribution:
■
Place the extensions of employees who work in a department in a Hunt
Group and assign one or more outside lines to the group. Doing so lets
outside callers ring the group directly without having to be transferred by
the receptionist. For example, a mail-order company assigns the
extensions of its sales representatives to a Hunt Group and assigns a line
to the group. The company then publishes the number as its customer
service number, so that a caller can reach a sales representative directly to
place an order.
■
If you install a voice messaging system, assign the system extensions
associated with the voice messaging system hardware to Hunt Group 7.
Then, use this procedure to assign outside lines to Hunt Group 7 for
Automated Attendant Service. Callers hear a greeting and are prompted to
enter digits to transfer to a specific extension or group without the
assistance of the receptionist.
Valid Entries
1 = Assigned (for hunting to groups 1–6, or to group 7 for the voice messaging
system’s Automated Attendant Service)
2 = Not Assigned ✔
3 = VMS Line Cover (available only for Hunt Group 7)
Programming
as s and e on system phones.)
To set up lines for Group Call Distribution:
1. Press f 0 0 s s # 2 0 6 at extension
10 or 11.
2. At the Group:prompt, enter a group number (1–6; 7 for the voice
messaging system). For example, to select group 1, press 1.
3. At the Line:prompt, enter the desired line number. For example, to select
line 1, press 0 1.
4. To assign or remove a line for groups 1–6, or to assign or remove a line or
use VMS Line Cover for group 7, press D until the appropriate value
displays.
5. At this point:
■
To program another line, press n or p until the line
number shows on the display. Then repeat Step 4.
■
To program another group, press N P, enter a
new group number, and repeat Steps 3 and 4.

Group Calling—Ring/Page (I7G/I*7G)
Group Calling—Ring/Page (I7G/I*7G)
Description
This feature allows users to ring, page, or transfer calls simultaneously to all of the
extensions in any one of four Calling Groups (G is a Calling Group number from
1–4). When paging, the caller hears a beep and begins speaking; the caller’s
voice is heard on the speakers of all idle system phones in the selected Calling
Group. The first extension to answer the call (by picking up the handset or
pressing S, or by pressing! to answer a page) is connected to the caller.
Related Features
You must use Calling Group Extensions (#502) to assign extensions to a Calling
Group.
Extensions assigned to Calling Group 1 can receive Simultaneous Paging.
Considerations
■
Extensions can be in more than one Calling Group.
■
Exclude extensions that connect auxiliary equipment (auto attendants,
voice messaging systems, fax machines, internal and external hotline
phones, and doorphones) from Calling Groups.
■
If some extensions in a Calling Group have standard, MLC-6, or TransTalk
9000-series phones, those extensions are not signaled for voice-paged
calls to the group (because they do not have built-in speakers).
■
■
If a Calling Group is in use, a user attempting to page that group hears a
busy tone.
If a user leaves the microphone on for hands-free answer on intercom
(HFAI), the microphone is turned off when that phone receives a group
page; the user must lift the handset or press! to answer the page.
■
■
Calls can be transferred to a Calling Group manually or using a button
programmed to ring the Calling Group.
You can program a Group Calling button on a system phone to ring or page
a specified Calling Group or to transfer a call to a Calling Group with one
touch.
■
When a call is transferred to a Calling Group and the call is not answered, it
goes back to the specified Transfer Return Extension (#306). The call
must be ringing, not a voice page.

Feature Reference
Examples
Here are some useful applications for this feature:
■
Group page employees for general announcements; this feature is an
inexpensive alternative to a paging system. (Remember to install system
phones with built-in speakers—all models except the MLC-6 and TransTalk
9000-series—where you want employees to hear announcements.)
■
Put the extensions of people with similar responsibilities in a Calling Group,
so when a caller needs to talk with anyone in the group, the receptionist
can transfer the call to the group instead of making separate intercom calls.
For example, a car dealership puts all extensions for the sales staff into
Calling Group 1. To let a prospective customer talk to any salesperson, the
receptionist simply transfers the call to the group by dialing & 7 1.
All phones in the group ring, and the customer is connected to the first
salesperson to answer. (Alternatively, the receptionist can page the group
through the speakers of their system phones by pressing i * 7
1.)

Group Hunting—Ring/Voice Signal (I77G/I*77G)
Group Hunting—Ring/Voice Signal (I77G/I*77G)
Description
This feature lets you distribute call volume among extensions in a group, to
off-load call activity from a single user. When an intercom or transferred call is
placed to a Hunt Group (where G is a Hunt Group number from 1–8), the system
rings or voice signals the first available (non-busy) extension in the group, passing
over busy extensions (or those with Do Not Disturb on) in a circular hunt. If a
ringing call is not answered within three rings, it moves to the next available
extension, and so on, until the call is answered or the caller hangs up. For a
voice-signaled call, only the first available extension is signaled; if that extension
does not answer, the call does not keep hunting. After an extension receives a
Hunt Group call, the next call to the Hunt Group will not ring or voice signal that
extension first unless all other extensions in the group are busy or do not answer.
The system supports up to eight Hunt Groups; however, Hunt Group 7 is used
exclusively for the voice messaging system and Hunt Group 8 is used exclusively
for fax machines. For more information, refer to ‘‘Voice Messaging Systems’’ on
page 4-28.

Set Transfer Return Rings (#105) to four or greater, to ensure that calls
continue hunting to other group extensions if the call is not answered.
Use Do Not Disturb if you are assigned to a Hunt Group and you leave
your desk, so that a call to your extension moves directly to the next
available extension in the group.
■
You can use Group Call Distribution (#206) to assign outside lines to a
Hunt Group. Doing so allows outside calls on those lines to route directly

Group Pickup (I66G)
Group Pickup (I66G)
Description
This feature allows users at any extension in the system to answer any outside,
intercom, or transferred call ringing at an extension in a Pickup Group (where G is
a Pickup Group number from 1–4). In other words, when a call rings at an
extension that is in a Pickup Group, a user at any extension in the system can
answer the call, without knowing which extension or line is ringing and without
being in the same Pickup Group. The system can have up to four Pickup Groups.
Related Features
You must use Pickup Group Extensions (#501) to assign extensions to Pickup
Groups.
Considerations
■
Extensions can be in more than one Pickup Group.
■
You can program a Group Pickup button on a system phone to pick up calls
in a Pickup Group with one touch.
Examples
Here are some useful applications for a Pickup Group:
■
Put all system extensions in a Pickup Group (except the boss’ private
extension), so anyone on the system can answer a ringing call (except
calls to the boss).
■
Put the extensions of people who work near each other and who can hear
each other’s phones ring, but who don’t have each other’s lines on their
phones, in a Pickup Group.
For example, a group of typists work in a large room separated by cubicles,
and all of their extensions are in Pickup Group 1. When a typist leaves the
room and the typist’s phone rings, anyone else in the system who can hear
the call ring can pick it up simply by dialing the Pickup Group code for that
group (i 6 6 1).

Hold
Hold
Description
This section explains how to place and retrieve calls on hold, using either the h
button on a system phone or the switchhook on a standard phone. (The user can
make and receive other calls on another line or pool while a call is on hold.)
Related Features
■
System phone users can use Exclusive Hold to put calls on hold that can
be retrieved only from their own extension. (Placing a call on Exclusive
Hold also prevents other users from accessing Caller ID information for the
held call.)
■
■
If you put a call on a line in a pool on hold and another user picks up that
call, it will no longer be available to you. To ensure that no on else can
retrieve your held call on a pooled line, use Exclusive Hold.
Use Call Park to put a call on a special type of hold so it can be picked up
from any phone in the system. This type of hold typically is used for pooled
extensions in Hybrid mode, because it allows the user to retrieve a call
without having to know which line the call is on.
■
■
Callers on hold hear Music-on-Hold (#602) only if it is active and an audio
source is connected to the processor module.
Standard phone users can put a call on hold to retrieve a second call
provided Call Waiting (#316) is programmed for their extensions.
Considerations
■
For system phones, if a call is left on hold for longer than one minute, the
extension at which the call is held generates a short Hold Reminder Tone.
This tone sounds once every minute until the held call is retrieved or until
the caller hangs up.
■
■
Only one party on an intercom call can put the call on hold. If both parties
try to put the call on hold, the call is disconnected.
If you are using the system behind a PBX or Centrex system, the PBX or
Centrex system may include a call hold feature that lets you place a call on
hold and place another call on the same line. For more information, see the
documentation for your PBX or Centrex system. (When your Centrex or
PBX documentation tells you to use a switchhook flash, use the Recall
feature instead.)
■
Hold acts differently on feature phones (standard phones with feature
buttons). When you press a Hold button on a feature phone, the call is held
at the phone itself. This means other phones in the system cannot see that
the call is on hold (it appears as a busy line). Also, callers on hold at a
feature phone will not hear the system’s music-on-hold.

Hold Disconnect Time (#203)
Hold Disconnect Time (#203)
Description
This System Programming procedure lets you change the hold disconnect time
for an outside line. When a caller on hold hangs up, the local telephone company
may send a special signal to the system to free the line. Different telephone
companies use different length signals. The length of the signal is called the hold
disconnect time. If you put a call on hold and the caller hangs up, but the call does
not disconnect within a minute after the caller hangs up, the hold disconnect time
is probably set too high, or set at No Detection.
Considerations
■
If the telephone company does not send a signal, keep the hold disconnect
time set to 450 msec, the default setting. The user must disconnect a held
call manually by retrieving the call then hanging it up.
■
■
Shorten the hold disconnect time only if abandoned calls on hold do not
disconnect.
Lengthen the hold disconnect time only if calls are being disconnected
prematurely.

Hotline (#603)
Hotline (#603)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies an internal hotline extension and
its alert extension. When a user lifts the handset of the hotline phone, the alert
extension rings. You can set up several hotline and alert extension pairs. The alert
extension can be the same or different for multiple hotline extensions.
We recommend using a standard phone as the hotline phone since this feature
makes use only of the phone’s intercom. The alert extension can be any type of
phone; or it can be the loudspeaker paging system so the hotline phone can be
used to make announcements over the loudspeaker.
Related Features
■
To prevent outside calls from being made or received on the hotline phone,
use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines or Pool
Extension Assignment (#314) to remove all pools from the hotline
extension.
■
■
Set Automatic Line Selection for the hotline extension to intercom only.
Remove hotline extensions from Night Service Group Extensions
(#504), Calling Group Extensions (#502), and Hunt Group Extensions
(#505).
■
Use External Hotline (#311) to identify an extension that automatically
dials a programmed outside number when a user lifts the handset.
Considerations
■
The same extension cannot be assigned as both a hotline and a
doorphone. Assigning a doorphone extension as a hotline extension
cancels the doorphone setting.
■
■
You should not assign hotline phones to extension 10, 11, or to the first two
extensions of any 206 or 308EC modules, which are reserved as power
failure extensions.
The hotline phone can receive transferred calls (but the user at that
extension should not pick up the handset until the phone rings).
Valid Entries
A hotline extension (any extension except extension 10, 11, or the first two
extensions of any 206 or 308EC modules)

Hunt Group Extensions (#505)
Hunt Group Extensions (#505)
Description
This System Programming procedure lets you assign any number of extensions to
a Hunt Group. The system supports up to eight Hunt Groups; however, Hunt
Group 7 is used exclusively for the voice messaging system and Hunt Group 8 is
used exclusively for transferring and detecting fax calls.

■
If a ringing call to the Hunt Group is not answered within three rings, the
call moves to the next available extension in the Hunt Group. If users in the
Hunt Group leave their desks, they should turn on Do Not Disturb at their
extensions so calls hunt immediately to the next available extension.
■
For instructions on making outside calls ring directly in a Hunt Group, see

Considerations for Hunt Groups 1–6
■
■
■
Any number of extensions can be assigned to each Hunt Group. In
addition, extensions can be in more than one Hunt Group.
You can include multiple fax machines or answering machines in a Hunt
Group.
If you have a PARTNER MAIL system and multiple fax machines, you can
assign the fax machines to a Hunt Group. Then you can program the
PARTNER MAIL system so that when an automatic fax call comes in on a
line covered by the PARTNER MAIL’s Automated Attendant Service, the
PARTNER MAIL system recognizes that it is a fax call and automatically
transfers it to the first available fax machine in the group.
Considerations for Hunt Group 7
This Hunt Group is used exclusively for the extensions associated with the voice
messaging system hardware. Do not assign any other extensions to this group. A
voice messaging system requires special hardware and set up procedures—refer
with the voice messaging system for more information.
Considerations for Hunt Group 8
This Hunt Group is used exclusively for fax machines. Do not assign any other
extensions to this group.
When lines appear on a fax extension, you will want to make sure that the fax
machine does not automatically answer outside calls on these lines. There are
three ways you can do this:
■
Set the fax machine for delayed pickup.
■
Use Line Ringing to change the ring options on the fax extension to either
delayed ring or no ring.
■
(Recommended) Use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines
from the fax extension.

Joining Calls
Joining Calls
Description
Joining is adding yourself to a call in progress, the same way you do on a home
telephone by picking up an extension. (This is different from conferencing, in
which the originator “pulls you into” the call.) Up to three system extensions can
join a call on an outside line (for a total of one outside and four inside parties).
Related Features
■
You can use Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to prevent other
extensions from joining calls on a specific extension. This is especially
useful for answering machines, fax machines, modems, and credit card
scanners, because trying to join one of these devices could interfere with
its operation.
■
■
■
Users can program Privacy onto a system phone button to allow or
prevent others from joining their calls as needed.
Caller ID information displays if you join a call; however, you cannot join a
call at any extension that has Privacy activated.
If a line is not assigned to a user’s extension and access to that line is not
restricted for that extension, the user can use Direct Line Pickup—Active
Line to join a call on that line.
■
■
You can join a call answered by Automatic System Answer or Direct
Extension Dial by pressing the line button and lifting the handset. The
message stops playing when you join the call.
Pooled extension users can add other parties to a call by pressing pool
buttons.
Considerations
■
■
■
You cannot join a call by pressing a pool button.
You cannot join an intercom call or a conference call at another extension.
You cannot join a call on an extension that has a voice interrupt on busy
call in progress.
■
You can join a call that is being answered by the voice messaging system,
but only if Automatic Extension Privacy is Not Assigned for the extensions
associated with the voice messaging system hardware. If this is the case,
when you join the call, the voice messaging system disconnects
automatically so you can speak to the caller.

Line Access Restriction (#302)
Line Access Restriction (#302)
Description
This System Programming procedure restricts an extension from receiving and/or
making outside calls on a specific line. For example, you may want a secretary to
answer calls on a manager’s line, but not to make any outgoing calls on the line;
in this case you can assign the manager’s line to the secretary’s extension and
restrict it to In Only.
Related Features
■
This procedure is the most extreme way to restrict dialing. For example, an
extension with a line set to In Only or No Access cannot select the line to
dial out— even for numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List
summary of all dialing restrictions.
■
■
For pooled extensions, use Pool Access Restriction (#315) to assign
restrictions to all the lines assigned to a specific pool. (Pool Access
Restriction overrides Line Access Restriction.) For individual lines on
pooled extensions, use Line Access Restriction.
To prevent an extension from using a line, restrict the line even if it is not
assigned to the extension, so it cannot be accessed using Direct Line
Pickup. If an extension’s access to a line is set to No Access or In Only,
the extension cannot place calls on that line, either by pressing the line
button or by using Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line. Likewise, if the
extension’s access to a line is set to No Access or Out Only, the extension
cannot receive calls on that line that are ringing at other extensions, either
by pressing the line button or by using Direct Line Pickup—Active Line.
■
■
When a user has access to an outside line for outgoing calls, dialing
restrictions can be customized for the user’s extension by using Outgoing
Call Restriction (#401) and Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404).
Caller ID information does not display for ringing calls on lines
programmed for Out Only or No Access.
Considerations
If a line is assigned to a phone, but is restricted to No Access, the line button lights
show calling activity; but the line cannot be used to place or receive calls.

all assigned lines; then assign lines in the desired order.
Related Features
■
Number of Lines (#104) can be used only during initial system setup to
assign a subset of lines to all extensions. You can use Line Assignment to
assign additional lines to specific extensions. For example, if five lines
were assigned to all extensions using Number of Lines (#104) and there
are eight lines in the system, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines
6, 7, and 8 to specific extensions.
■
■
After you finish Line Assignment, you can use Line Ringing to identify
when each outside line assigned to an extension should start ringing. If you
add a line to the system, its factory setting is Immediate Ring.
You can use Automatic Line Selection to determine the order in which
the system selects a line for an extension when the user at that extension
lifts the handset or turns on the speaker to make a call. If you add a line to
the system, it becomes the last line in the selection sequence.
■
■
Remove all outside lines from Hotline (#603) and Doorphone (#604/#605)

If you want to prevent a user at an extension from accessing a line, make
sure you restrict the line for that extension using Line Access Restriction
(#302) even if the line is not assigned to that extension, so it cannot be
accessed using Direct Line Pickup. Similarly, if you want to prevent a user
at an extension from accessing all the lines in a pool, make sure you
restrict the pool for that extension using Pool Access Restriction (#315)
even if the pool is not assigned to that extension, so it cannot be accessed
using the pool access code.

■
You can assign multiple lines (up to 19) to a standard phone, but a
single-line phone can handle only one call at a time. To make a call, a user
lifts the handset and dials 9 at the intercom dial tone; the system selects
the first available line based on the Automatic Line Selection

Line Coverage Extension (#208)
Line Coverage Extension (#208)
Description
This feature applies only if you have a voice messaging system.
This System Programming procedure identifies an extension as the “owner” of a
specific outside line, so the extension can activate Call Coverage or VMS Cover
for that line.
Related Features
■
An extension’s “owned” line is eligible for coverage only if Line Ringing is
set to Immediate Ring or Delayed Ring and Line Access Restriction
(#302) is set to No Restriction or In Only.
■
■
Use Call Coverage to redirect an extension’s calls on owned lines to the
covering extension.
Use Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320) to specify the number of times
a call rings at the owner’s extension before it is sent to the covering
extension.
■

Line Ringing
Line Ringing
Description
This Telephone Programming procedure determines how each outside line or pool
assigned to an extension rings. A line or pool can ring immediately, ring with a
20-second delay, or not ring at all. Delayed Ring is useful for backup coverage on
shared lines or pools, such as for secretaries who cover each other’s lines. No
Ring is useful for all extensions except 10 when a receptionist answers all calls, or
for phones with no regular users, such as those in conference rooms.
Related Features
■
To copy the Line Ringing settings (as well as other system settings) to
other extensions, you can use Copy Settings (#399).
■
■
If a line is set to No Ring, Call Screening (F25) cannot be used.
Users automatically receive Caller ID information for calls that audibly alert
at the extension:
— For lines or pools set to Immediate Ring, Caller ID information is
displayed after the first ring.
— For lines or pools set to Delayed Ring, Caller ID information is
displayed as soon as the call begins audibly alerting.
— For lines or pools set to No Ring, no Caller ID information is
displayed.
If the phone is idle, users can press the line button to see the Caller ID
information.
If the phone is in use, users can press a button programmed with
Caller ID Inspect to see the information.

a line in a pool that the user is already using, system phone users can
press i and dial the pool access code. If all lines in a pool are busy,
the user hears busy tone.
■
■
Automatic Line Selection can be programmed to change the way the
system selects pools when a user lifts the handset to make a call.
To restrict an extension’s access to all lines assigned to a pool, use Pool
Access Restriction (#315). If users are not allowed outgoing access to a
pool, they hear a reorder tone after dialing the pool access code at the
intercom dial tone.

Users can ring any of the seven Hunt Groups or voice signal Hunt Groups
If Station Lock is used at an extension, users cannot dial outside numbers
except Marked System Speed Dial Numbers and numbers on the
Emergency Phone Number List (#406).
■
If dialing restrictions are programmed for an extension, the system may
prevent a user at that extension from placing certain calls. For example, a
user may not be allowed to dial 900 numbers from the extension. (Or an
extension may be programmed to take incoming calls only, so the user
cannot dial out at all.) The following features provide dialing restrictions:
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404), Line Access Restriction
(#302) Pool Access Restriction (#315), and Outgoing Call Restriction
(#401).
■
■
The following features can be used to override dialing restrictions: Allowed
Phone Number Lists (#407), Emergency Phone Number List (#406),
Marked System Speed Dial Numbers, and System Password (#403).
Users with system phones can enter account codes to track incoming and
must enter account codes prior to dialing outside phone numbers (including
those on the Emergency Phone Number List).
■
Users can signal, then speak to, system phone users who are already
active on a call to alert them of important business matters, provided Voice
Interrupt On Busy (#312) is Assigned for the recipient.
Considerations
The following instructions assume that system phones are set (using Automatic
Line Selection) to automatically select outside lines first, and standard phones are
set to select intercom first. This means that when a user with a system phone lifts
the handset, the user hears outside dial tone (if an outside line is available); but
when a user with a standard phone lifts the handset, the user hears intercom dial
tone.
How to Make an Outside Call
System Phone
1. Lift the handset or press S.
The green light next to a line or pool button is on steady and you hear the
outside dial tone.
2. Dial the phone number.
On a system display phone, the dialed number appears on the display.
If you are using a PBX or Centrex line, you also may need to use a dial-out
code (usually 9) before you dial a number outside the system.

becomes free—this is useful when you share a line, such as a WATS line, with
other people:
1. Press the busy line or pool button (red light is on steady) without lifting the
handset or pressing S.
2. When the line is free and your phone beeps, lift the handset and dial the
number. (If more than one person reserves a line, all their phones beep
when the line is free. The first person to pick up the phone after the beep
gets the line, and the other reservations are canceled.)

How to Make an Intercom Call
An intercom call, or inside call, is a call between two extensions without using an
outside line. There are two ways you can signal the extension you are calling: by
ringing or by voice.
System Phone
You can lift the handset or press S before dialing, then:
1. Press an idle i button (red and green lights are both off).
You hear intercom dial tone, and the green light next to the i button
is on steady.
2. To ring the extension, dial the two-digit extension number.
To voice-signal a system phone at the extension, press * plus the
two-digit extension number and listen for one of the following responses:
■
If you hear one beep, you have reached an idle system phone. You
can speak after the beep.
Your voice is heard through the other extension’s speaker. If the
recipient is present, he or she can reply.
■
If you hear two beeps, you have reached a busy system phone with
Voice Interrupt On Busy Assigned. You can speak after the beeps.
Be aware that the third party to whom the recipient is speaking
probably also will hear the two beeps and the faint sound of your
voice.Be brief and discreet in your interruption.
If the recipient has a Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button, wait
for a response.
■
If you hear ringing, you have reached an idle standard, MLC-6, or
TransTalk 9000-series phone, or a busy system phone with Voice
Interrupt On Busy Not Assigned. Your call is not completed until
someone answers.

Night Service Button (#503)
Night Service Button (#503)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies a button on the system phone at
extension 10 to be used to turn Night Service on and off. When Night Service is
on, all lines and pools assigned to the phones of the users in the Night Service
Group ring immediately, regardless of their normal Line Ringing settings.
Night Service is useful if you want phones to ring after regular business hours. For
example, although Shipping Department workers do not answer calls directly
during the day, you want them to answer incoming calls after hours.

■
Night Service affects only the extensions identified using Night Service
Group Extensions (#504).
■
If you program a System Password (#403), the password must be entered
when turning Night Service on or off. In addition, when Night Service is on,
users in the Night Service Group can dial only numbers on the Emergency
Phone Number List (#406) and Marked System Speed Dial Numbers
without entering the System Password. Night Service with a System
Password is useful for controlling unauthorized use of phones after hours.

Number of Lines (#104)
Description
This feature should be used only for initial system setup.
This System Programming procedure determines in Key mode the number of
outside lines that are automatically assigned to all system extensions; in Hybrid
mode, it determines the number of lines assigned to the main pool. (This number
does not have to match the actual number of lines connected at the control unit.)
This feature should be used only for initial system setup.

!
WARNING:
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) after initial setup. This feature should only be
used for initial system setup. Please read the following information carefully.
In Hybrid mode, do not use this procedure if you add lines to the system after
initial setup, because it changes Pool Line Assignment (#207), Pool Extension
Assignment (#314), Pool Access Restriction (#315), Automatic Line
Selection, and Line Ringing for existing pools back to factory settings.
Additionally, it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction
(#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for individual lines back to
factory settings. To change pool assignments without affecting other settings, use
Pool Line Assignment (#207) and Pool Extension Assignment (#314).
In Key mode, do not use this procedure if you add lines to the system after initial
setup, because it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction
(#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for existing lines back to
factory settings. To change line assignments without affecting other settings, use
Line Assignment (#301).
Considerations
■
You can use this feature to tell the system how many lines are actually
connected at the control unit. For example, if some line jacks do not have
lines connected, use this procedure to indicate the number of jacks that
actually have lines connected; otherwise the line numbers associated with
empty jacks would be assigned to phones as though there were actually
lines connected.
■
You can use this procedure to limit the number of lines that are
automatically assigned to all extensions. For example, if there are ten lines
connected to the control unit, you can use this procedure to set the number
of lines to eight, so that only the first eight lines are assigned to all system
extensions. You can then use Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines 9
and 10 to specific extensions.

To override this feature, users can dial Marked System Speed Dial
Numbers and numbers from an Allowed Phone Number List (#407) and
the Emergency Phone Number List (#406). Also, if a System Password
(#403) is defined, MLS-model system phone users can enter it to override
restrictions.
■
■
You can program a button on the system phone at extension 10 to be used
to quickly change an extension’s Outgoing Call Restriction setting. See
You can use Line Access Restriction (#302) to restrict extensions from
making or receiving calls on specific lines, Pool Access Restriction
(#315) to restrict extensions from making or receiving calls on all lines
belonging to a specific pool, and Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404)
to specify telephone numbers that users cannot dial.
■
If you program an extension for Forced Account Code Entry (#307), the
user at that extension must enter an Account Code before accessing an
outside line. (This feature is not available on standard phones.)
NOTE:
For ACS Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can
dial numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) without
entering an account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced
Account Code extensions without entering the account code as long
as 911 has been entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.
■
If Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, the system checks for allowed
and disallowed phone numbers again beginning with the first digit after the
star code.
Considerations
■
While procedures that restrict dialing are very effective, absolute protection
against misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones give you more
protection against such misuse than standard phones. Therefore, we
strongly recommend that you install system phones where restricting
phone use is important.

Outgoing Call Restriction Button (#114)
Description
This System Programming procedure identifies a button on the system phone at
extension 10 to be used to change the current Outgoing Call Restriction setting for
an extension.
This button is useful for quickly changing an extension’s restriction. For example,
after a guest’s departure, a hotel manager can change the Outgoing Call
Restriction setting of the room phone from No Restriction to Inside Only so
outside calls cannot be made from the phone after the guest checks out.
Conversely, a receptionist can change the Outgoing Call Restriction setting of a
conference room phone from Local Only (which prevents users from making long
distance calls) to No Restriction so a client can dial long distance.

Pool Access Restriction
(#315)— Release 2.0 or Later
Description
This procedure applies only to pooled extensions in Hybrid mode.
This System Programming procedure restricts a pooled extension from receiving
and/or making outside calls on all lines belonging to a specific pool. For example,
you may want customer service representatives to make calls using the WATS
lines that belong to auxiliary pool 881, but not receive incoming calls on the lines
in that pool; in this case, you assign pool 881 to the customer service
representative’s phones and restrict the pool to Out Only.
Related Features
■
This procedure is the most extreme way to restrict dialing. For example, an
extension set to In Only or No Access for a particular pool cannot select
that pool to dial out—even for numbers on the Emergency Phone
2-12 for a summary of all dialing restrictions.
■
When a user has access to a pool for outgoing calls, you can customize
dialing restrictions for the user’s extension by using Outgoing Call
Restriction (#401) and Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404).

on and off, preventing or allowing other users to join calls at the user’s extension
as needed.
Related Procedures
■
If Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) is Assigned for an extension, that
extension normally is private. However, if a user sometimes needs to have
co-workers join conversations, the user can program a Privacy button to
turn Privacy on and off as needed. Once a Privacy button is programmed,
the user must use the button to turn Privacy on and off even though
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) is Assigned. Automatic Extension

Recall Timer Duration (#107)
Description
This System Programming procedure lets you change the length of the timed
signal, or switchhook flash, generated by the system Recall feature (as well as by
the Recall option used in Auto Dial and Speed Dial numbers). Recall sends this
timed signal over the phone line to the local telephone company or PBX to which
the system is connected. Typically you use the Recall feature to access a PBX,
central office, or Centrex feature, such as Call Waiting. Your local phone
company can tell you the correct setting—for most Centrex systems, the correct
setting is 800 msec. (or 32).
Considerations
You should change the factory setting only under two conditions:
■
If using the system Recall feature has no effect, lengthen the time.
■
If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and Recall drops
calls, shorten the time.

Special Dialing Functions
■
Recall/Centrex Feature Button: The following entry shows how to
program an Auto Dial button with a Centrex feature that you use while on a
call, for which the feature access code is *32. This example includes a
Recall signal to send a switchhook flash to the Centrex system when you
are already on a call. (You can store a Recall signal by pressing S, but
only if it is the first character stored.) It also includes a 1.5-second pause
(which you insert by pressing h) to allow time to get a new Centrex dial
tone: S h * 3 2.
■
Stop: Your local bank-by-phone service requires that you enter a password
before the account number. To program a Personal Speed Dial number or
an Auto Dial button to call the bank at 555-7898, include a stop for
manually entering the password, and continue with the account number
(679 88), enter 5 5 5 7 8 9 8! 6 7 9 8 8.
■
■
Touch-Tone Enable: Your system is connected to rotary lines but you
want to call an answering machine at 555-3454 to retrieve messages.
Since the machine requires touch tones, enter 5 5 5 3 4 5 4
&. All digits pressed during the rest of the call are sent as touch tones.
On/Off Centrex Feature Button: To include both the activation and
deactivation codes for a Centrex feature on the same button, press!
to include a stop between the two codes. For instance, if the code to
activate a Centrex feature is *30 and the code to deactivate the feature is
*31, store * 3 0! * 3 1 on the Auto Dial button.
The first time you press the Auto Dial button, only the number before the
stop is dialed (to activate the feature). When you press the button again,
the rest of the stored number is dialed (to deactivate the feature).
■
Number Outside a PBX or Centrex System: To store a number that dials
out of a PBX or Centrex system, include a dial-out code in the Speed Dial
number. This entry, to dial the number 201 555-4321, includes a dial-out
code, a 1.5-second pause, and a toll call prefix of 1 for direct dialing (which
may not be required for your dialing area): 9 h 1 2 0 1 5 5 5

Star Code Dial Delay (#410)
Description
Central Offices of some phone companies support the use of star codes before
the dialed phone number to obtain special services; for example, in some areas,
you can dial *67 to prevent Caller ID information from being sent to the called
party. (Rotary phones use 11 in place of the *.) Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is
designed to help prevent misdialing when star codes are used. For information
about the star codes that your Central Office supports, contact your local phone
company.
Restriction Resetting
If Star Code Dial Delay is Not Active, the system uses the normal processing of
restricted numbers: it checks, digit by digit, to see whether the number is
restricted. If the first digit dialed is a * and is not restricted, the call goes through
without further checking, since it can no longer match any number on the list.
If Star Code Dial Delay is Active, the system permits star codes that meet the
Bellcore® standard:
■
2-digit codes, where the first digit is 0, 1, or 4–9 and the second digit is 0–9
(for example *67, *70)
■
3-digit codes, where the first digit is 2 or 3, the second digit is 0–9, and the
third digit is 0–9 (for example *210)
Therefore, when Star Code Dial Delay is Active, the system resets dialing
restrictions after leading star codes. The system checks the first two digits dialed.
If the first digit is a * or the first two digits are 11, the system then checks whether
the following two or three digits are a star code. The digits that follow the star code
are then compared again to the restrictions. More than one star code can be
dialed at the beginning of a dialing sequence; the system’s number restrictions will
still work properly, with restriction-checking resetting as often as necessary. For
example, *67*705552539 could be dialed to block Caller ID information and to
turn off Call Waiting; the system would still check to see whether the 555-2539
number is restricted.
Second Dial Tone
After a star code is dialed, some Central Offices respond by providing a second
dial tone as a prompt for the caller to enter more digits. Usually the second dial
tone is provided immediately, but if the tone is delayed, the caller should wait for
the dial tone before continuing to dial. The system may not recognize the numbers
dialed before the second dial tone, which may cause the call to be misrouted.
You can use the Star Code Dial Delay setting to force a delay in Auto Dialed calls
after the star code, so that the system waits to dial the rest of the digits until the
second dial tone begins. You can program an automatic pause of 0 to 5 seconds
after each star code that is autodialed, whether from a touch-tone or a rotary
phone.

Star Code Dial Delay (#410)
Related Features
■
You can include star codes in Allowed Phone Number Lists and
Disallowed Phone Number Lists.
■
Star Code Dial Delay settings apply to Auto Dialing, Last Number Redial,
Personal Speed Dial Numbers, Save Number Redial, and System
Speed Dial Numbers.
■
If Dial Mode (#201) is set to Rotary, star codes are entered by dialing 11
instead of *. If you have users at extensions with Outgoing Call
Restriction (#401) set to Local Only who are calling out on lines with the
Dial Mode (#201) set to Rotary, you should add “11” to an Allowed Phone
Numbers List (#407) and assign the list to these extensions. Otherwise,
when the users at the restricted extensions dial 1 to begin a star code, the
system interprets this as an attempt to place a long-distance call, the call is
blocked, and the user hears the reorder tone.
■
System Speed Dial Numbers can begin with a star code; the system
automatically inserts a delay based on the Star Code Dial Delay (#410)
setting. To program, enter a Pause followed by the star code and the phone
number. For example, press h*675551001.
A Marked System Speed Dial Number can also begin with a star code. To
enter it, press * followed by the star code and the phone number. For
example, press **675551001.
Considerations
■
The Star Code Dial Delay is not inserted in manually dialed numbers.
■
If your Central Office provides the second dial tone immediately, you do not
need the delay provided by Star Code Dial Delay. In this case, choose the
0 setting to enable restriction checking but avoid the delay.

By default, transferred calls return to the originating extension if they are not
answered. This System Programming procedure can be used to identify a
different return extension for the extension that transfers a call.
Related Features
■
You can use Transfer Return Rings (#105) to define the number of times
all system extensions should ring with transferred calls before they return
to their transfer return extensions.
■
The transfer return extension for any extensions associated with auto
attendant or voice messaging system hardware should be extension 10 (or
another extension with a person who can assist the caller). AA Extensions
(#607) is used to identify the extensions associated with auto attendant
hardware and Hunt Group Extensions (#505) is used to identify the
extensions associated with voice messaging system hardware.
■
■
If an extension has VMS Cover active, unanswered calls to that extension
are routed to the voice messaging system rather than to the transfer return
extension.
For transferred calls that are sent to a covering extension with Call
Coverage: if the covering extension does not answer within the specified
number of Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320), the call rings the
specified number of Transfer Return Rings (#105) before it transfer
returns. If the covering extension has Do Not Disturb active, the call rings
one more time after the specified number of Call Coverage Rings (#116)
or (#320) before it transfer returns.
Considerations
■
An unanswered transferred call returns to the transfer return extension
identified for the extension transferring the call, not the extension receiving
the call.

one more time after the specified number of Call Coverage Rings (#116)
or (#320) before it transfer returns.
Considerations
■
If you have a fax machine or an answering machine connected to the
system, set Transfer Return Rings to a number greater than the number of
rings at which these devices answer. Doing so prevents a call transferred
to a fax or answering machine from returning before it is answered.

Transferring Calls
Transferring Calls
Description
This section explains how to transfer calls using the & button on a system
phone or the switchhook on a standard phone. Transferring a call lets users
“pass” a call from one extension to another. Users can transfer both outside calls
and intercom calls to other extensions.

■
To transfer calls to an extension for which you have a Manual Signaling
button, press & before pressing the Manual Signaling button.
While a call is being transferred, the caller hears ringing if Ring on
Transfer (#119) is Active. If it is Not Active and Music-on-Hold (#602) is
Active and an audio source is connected to the system, the caller hears
music-on-hold while the call is being transferred to the destination
extension. If Music-on-Hold is Not Active and Ring on Transfer (#119) is
Not Active, the caller hears silence.
■
The system is factory-set to return a transferred call, after it rings four times
at the destination extension, to the extension that transferred it. You can
use Transfer Return Rings (#105) to change the number of rings for all
system extensions. You can use Transfer Return Extension (#306) to
program a different extension to which unanswered calls from a particular
extension should return.
■
■
■
■
If users transfer a call, Caller ID information (if it is available) is passed to
the destination extension.
If you have a voice messaging system, you can use Voice Mailbox
Transfer to transfer a caller directly to a subscriber’s voice mailbox.
An extension programmed with Call Waiting (#316) cannot transfer either
of two active calls.
This feature cannot be used with Record-a-Call (F24), Call Screening
(F25) and Voice Interrupt on Busy (#312).
Considerations
■
When you press &, the call is put on hold and its associated green
light winks.

When a call you transferred is answered, if you began the call on an
individual line, the red light goes on next to the line button goes on; if you
began the call on a line in a pool, the call no longer appears on your phone.
If you transfer a call to an extension for which you have an Auto Dial button
and the call is unanswered, the green light next to the Auto Dial button
flutters when the call returns to your extension.
Calls can be transferred to Calling Groups and Hunt Groups. Hunt Group
calls do not Transfer Return if the call is not answered and if Transfer
Return Rings (#105) is set to 4 or more rings.
When you transfer a call from a display phone, the number to which you
are transferring the call briefly appears on the display. If a transferred call is
unanswered, the number of the extension that is returning the transferred
call also appears on display phones.
■
If you are using the system behind a PBX or Centrex system, the PBX or
Centrex system may include a call transfer feature that lets you transfer a
call to another Centrex extension, so that the line on which the call came in
is free to place and receive other calls. However, to use Centrex transfer,
you must be able to dial the extension directly using the Centrex extension
number; if a Centrex line is shared by several extensions, you cannot use
Centrex transfer to direct the call to a specific extension. For more
information about such features, see the documentation for your PBX or
Centrex system. (When your Centrex or PBX documentation tells you to
use a switchhook flash, use the system Recall feature instead.)
■
On a system phone, a transferred call rings with an intercom ring (ring
BEEP) until the originator hangs up, then it changes to a transfer ring (ring
BEEP BEEP). On a standard phone, a transferred call rings with an
intercom ring (ring ring) until the originator hangs up, then it changes to a
transfer ring (ring ring ring).

extension (unless a different transfer return extension is programmed for
your extension)—lift the handset and you are reconnected to the caller.
■
To make a voice-signaled transfer to a system phone, in Step 2 of the
procedure on the previous page, press * plus the two-digit extension
number. Then listen for one of the following responses:
— If you hear one beep, you have reached an idle system phone. You
can speak after the beep.
Your voice is heard through the other extension’s speaker. If no one
answers or the call is refused, press the line or pool button next to
the winking green light to reconnect to the caller. If the call is
accepted, hang up.
— If you hear two beeps, you have reached a busy system phone with
Voice Interrupt On Busy Assigned. You can speak after the beeps.
Your voice is heard through the recipient’s handset or speaker. Be
aware that the third party to whom the recipient is speaking probably
also will hear the two beeps and the faint sound of your voice. Be
brief and discreet in your interruption. If the recipient has a Voice
Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button, wait for a response. If the call is
accepted, hang up to complete the transfer. The call rings at the
recipient’s extension. If the call is refused, press the line or pool
button next to the winking green light to reconnect to the caller.
— If you hear ringing, you have reached a standard phone, an idle
MLC-6 or TransTalk 9000-series phone, or a busy system phone
with Voice Interrupt On Busy Not Assigned.
When someone answers, announce the call, then hang up. If no one
answers or the call is refused, press the line or pool button next to

Unique Line Ringing (#209)—Release 3.0 or Later
Unique Line Ringing (#209)—Release 3.0 or Later
Description
This feature applies only to MLS, PARTNER, and TransTalk phones.
This feature allows a ringing pattern (maximum of eight) to be assigned on a per
line basis for users to differentiate, by sound, which line is ringing. Once a ring
pattern is assigned to a line, incoming calls on that line ring with the assigned ring
pattern. Incoming calls that are transferred to another station ring with the
assigned ring pattern followed by two “transfer beeps.” Transfer returned calls
also ring with the two “transfer beeps”. Standard phones will ring with pattern 1
only.
Considerations
■
■
■
You can program standard phones for any ring pattern, but they will ring
with Pattern 1 only.
You must program MLC 6 phones with Pattern 1. If they are programmed
with another pattern, they will not ring.
Since only one audible alert can be heard at a station at one time, the
ringing pattern present at that station that has multiple lines alerting is for
the line that rang first. Once the call is answered, the station will begin
ringing using the pattern associated with the next alerting line for that
station.
■
Incoming calls that are ringing at a pool button will ring with the pattern
assigned to the line. Lines within a pool may be assigned individual ring
patterns.

Voice Interrupt On Busy (#312)
Description
This feature is available only on system phones.
This System Programming procedure identifies extensions that can receive voice
interrupt on busy calls. A voice interrupt on busy call is a special intercom call that
lets a user (the originator) interrupt and speak to another user (the recipient) who
is busy on an intercom or outside call with one other party.When voice interrupt on
busy is initiated, the recipient hears two beeps before hearing the originator’s
voice. The originator and the recipient should be aware that the third party to
whom the recipient is speaking probably will hear both the beeps and the faint
sound of the originator’s voice. This feature typically is used by the receptionist to
alert the boss to an important incoming call or event when the boss is already on a
call.
Related Features
■
Making Calls and Transferring Calls provide more instructions for making
and transferring voice interrupt on busy calls.
■
■
The recipient can use a Voice Interrupt on Busy Talk-Back button to
respond to the originator of the voice interrupt on busy call. The recipient’s
response will not be heard by the third party.
Users cannot receive voice interrupt on busy calls if:
— Do Not Disturb is active at their extension.
— They are part of a joined call (Joining Calls).
— They are part of a Conference Call.
— They are recording a call using Record-a-Call (F24).
— They are screening a call using Call Screening (F25).
Considerations
■
The voice interrupt on busy tone (two beeps) is unique to distinguish it from
a voice-signaled intercom call tone (one beep).
■
■
If a voice interrupt on busy call is made to an idle extension, the originator
and the recipient hear a voice-signaled intercom call tone (one beep)
instead.
If you receive a voice interrupt on busy call and press h, the third party
is put on hold and the originator hears two beeps that indicate you have
ended the voice interrupt on busy call. At this point:
— To talk to the originator, if the green light next to the i button is
flashing, press i. (You cannot use the Voice Interrupt On
Busy Talk-Back button once a voice interrupt on busy call has
ended.)

Your voice is heard through the other extension’s speaker. If the
recipient is present, he or she can reply.
If you hear two beeps, you have reached a busy system phone with
Voice Interrupt On Busy Assigned. You can speak after the beeps.
Be aware that the third party to whom the recipient is speaking
probably also will hear the two beeps and the faint sound of your
voice.
If the recipient has a Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button, wait
for a response. If you hear a second set of beeps, the recipient has
ended the voice interrupt on busy call. In either case, hang up to end
your part of the voice interrupt on busy call.

Troubleshooting
If you call, have the following information ready so that the representative can
better help you:
■
The kind of system you have (for example, PARTNER Advanced
Communications System Release 1.0). To determine the release
number, press f 5 9 at any display phone.
■
■
The number of lines and extensions in your system
The type of phone (system or standard) and the model number, if
applicable. System phone model numbers are located either on the
upper right-hand corner of the phone or on the dialpad overlay.
■
If you followed a troubleshooting procedure and need more help, tell
the representative what you did.
Power Failure Operation
When power to the system is cut off, the first two lines on the PARTNER
Advanced Communications System module or the 308EC module automatically
connect to the first two extensions on the module, and the first line on each 206
module connects to its first extension.
This enables you to make and answer calls during a power outage, provided you
have a standard phone connected to any of these extensions. (During a power
failure, standard phones can only make and receive calls—other system features
are not available.)
The system can stay programmed for a minimum of 45 days and a maximum of
six months after it stops receiving power, depending on the freshness of the
batteries. When the batteries are drained, all of the system’s programmed settings
return to the factory settings. It is recommended that you install fresh batteries
every year. See ‘‘Battery Replacement’’ on page 6-2 for more information.
Battery Replacement
!
CAUTION:
Do not turn off the power or remove the processor module before
replacing the batteries! If you do, all settings for system and
telephone programming will revert to the default settings. If you have
a Backup/Restore PC Card, it is highly recommended that you do a
backup before changing the batteries.

Clearing a Backup-Failure Alarm
NOTE:
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card,
which allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and
perform backup and restore functions. The PARTNER Remote
Access PC Card is a PCMCIA card that can also be used to upgrade
previous versions of PARTNER ACS to Release 3.0.
The PARTNER ACS processor module uses two user-replaceable AAA alkaline
batteries. These batteries provide enough power to retain the system
programming settings during a power failure for 45 days to six months, depending
on the freshness of the batteries. When battery power is getting low, the system
displays a ChgBat W/PowerOn or ReplaceSysBat W/Power Onmessage
on the top line of display phones at extensions 10 and 11 in place of the default
day/date/time message. Users at these extensions should be instructed to notify
you when they see this message. You should replace the batteries within 45 days
of seeing the message.
NOTE:
The message may flicker on and off as the batteries approach the low-power
threshold.
It is recommended that you change the batteries in the processor module every
year, even if the system has not yet displayed the ReplaceSysBat W/Power On
message. Choose good quality alkaline batteries. (See the PARTNER
ADVANCED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM INSTALLATION guide for information
on changing batteries.)
Clearing a Backup-Failure Alarm
If you use Backup Programming—Automatic (#123) and the automatic backup
fails, a Backup-Failure Alarm message appears (instead of the default
day/date/time message) on the top line of the telephone display at idle extensions

Problems with Standard Devices
Standard Device Does Not Answer
Possible Cause: A standard device (such as a fax machine or answering machine)
does not answer intercom calls or transferred calls because it does not recognize
the distinctive ringing pattern used by the system.
What to do: Change the extension’s setting for Distinctive Ring (#308) to Not
Active, so the extension uses the same ringing for intercom and transferred calls
as it does for outside calls.
■
If the device works properly, the problem is solved.

Does Not Dial Out Properly
Possible Cause: A standard device with autodialing (such as a modem) does not
recognize the intercom dial tone generated by the system.
What to do: Change the setting for Intercom Dial Tone (#309) for the extension to
Machine, so the system generates outside line dial tone for the extension.

Call Records Wrap on SMDR Printout
Possible Cause: SMDR Talk Time (#611) is set to Active and SMDR Output
Format (#610) is set to 24 digits, causing the combined length of the fields for a
call record to be greater than the 80 characters supported by your printer.
What to do: Reduce the font size or increase the characters-per-inch setting for

in progress, but does not erase any system settings, provided that the system
batteries are installed and not low on power.
Possible Cause: System needs a hardware reset.
What to do: Unplug the control unit’s power cord from the wall. Wait 10 seconds,
!
CAUTION:
The power cord should hang straight down from the connector, flush against
the plastic case for the entire length of the board. Do not install the power
cord at an angle to the case or with a loop in it.

Maintenance, Repair,
and Ordering Information
Maintenance
Your system is designed to provide trouble-free performance without any special
maintenance procedures. To reduce the risk of accidental damage:
■
■
■
■
Keep the system modules in an area free of dust, smoke, and moisture,
and do not block the air vents by placing objects on top of the control unit.
Do not place telephones near a heating duct, radiator, or other heat source,
and do not drop or expose them to excessive shock or vibration.
Unplug the telephone if its cord is damaged, if liquid is spilled into it, or if its
housing becomes cracked or otherwise damaged.
To clean your telephone, wipe the outside housing with a soft, dust-free
cloth. If absolutely necessary, you may use a cloth slightly dampened with
a mild soap and water solution. Dry quickly with a soft cloth.
!
CAUTION:
Your telephone contains sensitive electronic parts. Never submerge it in any
kind of liquid, and never use detergents, alcohols, solvents, abrasive
cleaners, or an excessive amount of water when cleaning the housing and
faceplate. To do so could result in irreparable damage.

Programming Mixed Telephone

Overview
This appendix provides information about programming from a PARTNER-34D
phone to MLS-model phones and from an MLS-34D phone to PARTNER-model
phones. In these situations, you should be aware that the button that you press at
extension 10 or 11 (the programming extension) is likely to be in a different
location than the button on the phone to which the programming applies (the
target phone). If you are programming from a PARTNER-18D or MLS-18D phone,
the button locations are the same.
You can use the illustrations in this appendix to facilitate programming from one
Programming Overlay and the relative location of those buttons on each
Overlay and the relative location of those buttons on each PARTNER-model
the Overlay. To help you program from an MLS-34D phone, you may want to write
If you want to program features on specific buttons at target phones, it is
recommended that you:
1. Look at the figure with the overlay that matches the phone at your
programming extension.
2. Find the location of the button in the picture of the target phone.
3. Note the letter associated with that particular button.
4. Find the letter in the picture of the Programming Overlay.
5. Press that button on the programming extension.
For example, if you are using a PARTNER-34D phone at extension 10 and you
want to program Do Not Disturb on the top leftmost button of an MLS-18D phone:
press the button labeled M on the PARTNER-34D Programming Overlay.
