ADMINISTRATION
PROGRAMMING
When a Busy Buster call is answered, your voice terminal is alerted.
If there
is a significant delay between the time that the called party answers and the
time you pick up your alerting voice terminal, the party you called may
become confused by the silence and hang up. Therefore, if you are expecting
a Busy Buster call, you may want to activate the Do Not Disturb feature so
that only transfer return calls, which include Busy Buster calls, will ring at
your voice terminal.
If you activate Busy Buster for a number that is in the same local exchange as
the number you’re calling from, there is a chance that when successful, the
call will be answered so quickly that the exchange network cannot provide the
information to alert your voice terminal. The party you called could become
confused and hang up.
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
The system is factory-set to have the Busy Buster feature assigned to voice
terminal jack 19 on the control unit. However, you can use the following
procedure to assign the feature to any other voice terminal jack in the system,
except jack 10.
1 Enter administration mode by sliding the TIP switch to P and touching
Administer.
2 Dial *35.
3 Touch the Auto Intercom button or dial the intercom number of the jack
to which the Busy Buster feature will be assigned.
The green light goes on next to the Auto Intercom button to which the feature will be
assigned.
4 Touch Administer.
The console beeps twice.
6 Leave administration mode by sliding the TIP switch to the center
position.
6 Make sure the BB jack is moved to the corresponding voice terminal jack
you’ve just assigned.
This feature requires a button with lights.
To program a button on your voice terminal for the Busy Buster feature:
1 Label the button Busy Buster.
2 Slide the TIP switch to P.
The voice terminal rings every 5 seconds to remind you that you are programming and that
you cannot place or receive calls.
3 Touch the button you want to program.
