Description Of System Features lM166-107
Conferencing
Add-On Conferencing
With this feature, a user at a station that is operating in
a private mode can add up to four other stations to an
outside call.
Multiline Conferencing
This feature will allow one station to access up to four
outside lines at the same time resulting in a
conference arrangement. The user employs the
transfer/conference button to effect the conference.
Unsupervised Conferencing
After a user has established a conference between an
internal party and a maximum of two external parties,
this feature allows the internal party to drop out of the
conference by dialing a special code. The conference
between the two outside parties continues in an
unsupervised condition.
Console Support
Beginning with software release 8, the digital
telephone system supports the installation and use of
a DigiTech DD32X and an Americom XD64X
DSSIBLF console at any available station port. With
software release 12A, console support is extended to
include the lmpacr IB64X console as well. The
number of installed consoles is limited only by port
availability; however, since a console complements a
companion telephone located in an adjacent station
port, the installer can use up to one-half of the
available station ports for consoles. In addition with the
dual console feature (discussed later), a full two-thirds
of the total station port capacity is available for console
use.
Beginning with software revision of 9, an installer can
assign two consoles to one telephone. This feature is
especially useful when used with DigiTech DD32X
consoles and a G1832 system that has one or two
GM408 expansion modules included with it. This dual
console feature allows a station user to monitor up to
48 stations from one station location using 32-button
consoles.
An installer can install the first console at the station
port that is logic-paired with the station that he or she
wishes to complement. An installer can install the
second console at any station port except 10 or 11
and, use class of service programming to assign it to
the same station port that is logic-paired with the first
console.
An installer can install a DD32X, XD64X, or IB64X
console at any station port and assign it to a station
without first installing a console at the station’s
logic-paired port. This configuration is convenient for
adding a console to an existing telephone installation
2-8
that already has its logic-paired port occupied;
however, one must not this configuration for assigning
a console to station ports 10 and 12 because the
console buttons will not be usable for programming.
As discussed above, this feature is also useful for
adding a second console to a station that already has
a paired console installed with it.
The digital telephone system automatically recognizes
a console when its connected to a station port and
automatically assigns station intercom numbers to the
console buttons for direct station selection (DSS)
.
purposes with associated busy lamp field (BLF) status
lights. However, the console buttons are fully
programmable and the station user can customize
them as he or she see fit by programming them as
DSS buttons or as automatic dialing (autodial) buttons.
When the user programs the buttons for DSS use,
autodial capability is also available at a secondary
level at each DSS button. All 32 buttons on the DD32X
console and the first 48 buttons on the XD64X and
IB64X are programmable for DSS and/or autodial use.
While the first XD32X console (the one installed at the
logic-paired port) extends the autodial buttons of the
paired telephone by 32 and provides DSS/SLF
coverage for station ports 10 through 41, the second
XD32X console (the one installed at the programmed
station port) provides DSSIBLF coverage as follows:
l On a 32-station system with two 8-station
expansion modules, the first 16 buttons are
automatically assigned (defaulted) to station ports
42 through 57 for DSS purposes.
l On a 32-station system with one 8-station
expansion module, the first 8 buttons are
automatically assigned (defaulted) to station ports
42 through 49 for DSS purposes.
l On any other smaller station capacity system, all
buttons are unassigned.
When an installer installs a console and programs it to
complement a telephone without first having a console
installed at a port that is logic-paired to that telephone,
its button assignment is automatically defaulted, as
described above, but the user can reprogram it as
required. It is important to remember that when a
programmer programs for a second console, the
system sets the console button mapping to that which
is described above. When a programmer clear the
assignment, the system resets the button mapping to
match a logic-paired console. This means that when
the second console feature is cleared, the console
installed at that port complements the telephone that is
installed at its logic-paired port instead of the
telephone that is located at the program designated
port, and its buttons are automatically reassigned to
stations 10 through 41 (through station port 57 with
1864X and XD64X consoles).
