Personalized ringing
Allows users of certain telephones to uniquely identify their own calls. Each user
can choose one of a number of possible ringing patterns. The eight ringing
patterns are tone sequences consisting of different combinations of three tones.
With this feature, users working closely in the same area can each specify a
different ringing pattern in order to better identify their own calls.
Posted messages
In most situations, after a few rings when no one answers a call, the calling party
usually hears an announcement saying that the called party is not available and to
please leave a message. At this point, the calling party has no clue when the called
party would return the call.
The posted messages feature provides Communication Manager users with the
capability of indicating the reason of their unavailability to calling parties. The
system provides 30 messages for a user to choose from, such as “on vacation,” or
“at lunch.” Of the 30 messages, 15 messages are fixed system messages, and the
remaining 15 messages are administrable (custom messages). After a user has
chosen one of the messages and thus activated the feature, the message is
immediately sent to calling parties who have terminal displays.
The system provides two ways to activate/deactivate this feature: using button
pushes and feature access codes. The system allows users to use the feature access
codes from their own display telephone, from another station/attendant, or from a
remote access trunk.
Priority calling
Allows you to ring another telephone with a distinctive signal that tells the called
party the incoming call requires immediate attention. The called party can then
handle the call accordingly. You activate priority calling by dialing a priority
calling access code or pressing a feature button, followed by the extension
number. You can use priority calling only if your telephone has been administered
with the required class of service.
