Basic Telephones
DESCRIPTION
On-premises basic Touch-Tone or rotary telephones can be connected to
station jacks on a Basic Telephone (012) module. People with Touch-Tone
basic telephones can use many of the features of the system by using dial
codes and switchhook flashes.
Basic telephones can also be connected to a Basic Telephone and Modem
Interface 2 (BTMI-2) or an Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE). For more
information, see their entries in Section 2 “System Components.”
CONSIDERATIONS
● When you assign lines or line pools to basic telephones, be sure to
provide users with a list of codes for accessing them.
● Use the same procedures for administering basic telephones that you use
for administering MERLIN II system phones.
● Make sure that voice announcement is disabled. Basic telephones cannot
receive voice announcements.
● If Night Service with Outward Restriction is in effect, people with basic
telephones cannot enter a password to make calls. To allow them to make
after-hours calls, you must assign these basic telephones to the Night
Service Exclusion list. See “Night Service” in this section for more
information.
● Basic telephones can receive ringing intercom calls, but cannot receive
intercom calls with voice announcement.
