5.8 Absence Handling
It is possible to configure user friendly absence menus in the handset using WinPDM/
CPDM3. These menus can then be selected in the handset by selecting Calls > Call
services > Absence. This menu is used to set the reason why a call cannot be
answered, for example when you are in a meeting. The caller will be notified about the
absence reason when he/she calling.
Beside the default absence menus, it is possible to define 10 extra system specific
services codes, see 5.6 Call Services.
1 Select Systems > System X (where X represents A - H).
2 Select PBX Settings > Absence.
3 Select "Common codes", enter the following:
• Activation prefix - the system specific activation prefix code required to
activate the absence (for example *23*)
• Activation suffix - the system specific activation suffix code required to
activate the absence (for example #)
• Deactivation - the system specific code required to deactivate the absence
(for example "#23#").
• PBX date format for user input - the PBX supported date format to be sent to
the PBX when activating an absence reason containing a date (for example
"Vacation"). The date in the handset is always entered in MMDD format. If the
parameter is set to DDMM, the handset will automatically convert to correct
date format.
4 Select "Lunch", "Meeting", "Trip", "Vacation", "Out" and/or "General absence X";
enter the following:
• Activation code - the system specific code for an absence reason, for
example "0*".
• Name - enter name of absence reason (only for General absence). The name
will be visible in handset.
• User input - specifies if time or date is required for the absence reason (only
for General absence).
