Instruction manual
Features
calls received on each outside line (excluding loop-start trunks
with unreliable disconnect) to an outside number must also be
assigned in system programming and can be assigned to only
one telephone for each individual trunk. In addition, the DLC
must be designated as the principal user.
Group Calling
A DLC can be a member of a Calling Group and is normally
used as the Calling Group supervisor position.
Hold
When programmed system-wide, DLC Operator Automatic Hold
puts an active call on hold when the DLC operator presses
another line button. When One-Touch Hold is programmed
system wide, pressing an Auto Dial button or DSS button also
puts an active call on hold. Both prevent accidental
disconnection of callers and speed call handling. The DLC
operator hears an abbreviated ring as a reminder of a call on
hold every time the interval programmed for the Operator Hold
Timer (10–255 seconds) expires.
Messaging The Send/Remove Message feature is a system operator-only
feature used by the DLC system operator to turn on the
Message LED to indicate a message is waiting. For telephones
without a display, Send/Remove Message is the only way the
Message LED can be turned on and off by system operators.
The Send/Remove Message is factory assigned to analog DLCs
on button 32. The Send/Remove Message button is replaced
with line 32 when the system has 32 lines or more.
Send/Remove Message is not a fixed feature and can be
assigned to any available button on either an analog or MLX
DLC.
Multi-Function An MFM cannot be assigned as a DLC position.
Module
Night Service A Night Service button is assigned to operator consoles only
and is used by a DLC operator to activate and deactivate Night
Service. A Night Service button is factory assigned to analog
DLCs on button 31. On a system with more than 30 lines, the
Night Service button is replaced with line 31. The Night
Service button is not a fixed feature and can be assigned to
any available button on either an analog or MLX DLC.
Paging The trunk jack programmed as a Loudspeaker Paging port can
be assigned to a button on an analog or digital DLC for one-
touch access. A system operator with a digital DLC can also
access a Loudspeaker Paging system by dialing the trunk
number (801–880) for the trunk jack on which the Loudspeaker
Paging system is connected.
