Instruction manual
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304)
Description
This System Programming procedure automatically prevents users from joining
active calls at the extension where the feature is assigned. This feature is
typically used for extensions connected to fax machines, modems, and credit
card scanners, which make and receive data calls that should not be
interrupted.
Related Features
To override Automatic Extension Privacy, users can program the
Privacy
feature
on a button with lights. Users can then press the Privacy button to activate the
feature (green LED on) or deactivate the feature (green LED off) when they want
someone to join a call at their extension.
Considerations
■
If you want to be able to intercept calls routed to an auxiliary device—such
as an answering machine or a PARTNER Attendant—make sure Automatic
Extension Privacy is “Not Assigned” for the auxiliary equipment extension.
■
Standard phones and system phones without a programmed Privacy button
cannot override this feature once it is assigned to an extension.
