A
Power Failure Transfer
Provides service to and from the local telephone company central office, including
Wide Area Telecommunications System, during a power failure. This allows users
to make or answer important or emergency calls during a power failure. This
feature is also called Emergency Transfer.
Priority Calling
Allows a user to ring another telephone with a distinctive signal that tells the called
party that the incoming call requires immediate attention. The called party can
then handle the call accordingly. A user activates priority calling by dialing a
Priority Calling access code or by pressing a feature button, followed by the
extension number. A user can use Priority Calling only if the telephone has been
administered with the required class of service.
Privacy — Attendant Lockout
Prevents an attendant from reentering a multiple-party call that is being held on
the console unless the attendant is recalled by one of the parties on the call. This
feature is administered on a system-wide basis and is either activated or not
activated.
Privacy — Auto Exclusion
With Auto Exclusion active, the Manual Exclusion feature can be automatically
activated on a class-of-service (COS) basis. If the COS for Automatic Exclusion is
set to yes, then exclusion is automatically activated when you go off hook on a
telephone set which has an Exclusion button assigned.
With Automatic Exclusion active, a held exclusion call can be taken off hold by
any telephone user with an appearance of the extension that put the call on hold.
Privacy — Manual Exclusion
Allows multi-appearance telephone users to keep other users with appearances
of the same extension number from bridging onto an existing call. Exclusion is
activated by pressing the Exclusion button on a per-call basis.
Public Network Call Priority
Provides call retention, forced disconnect, intrusion, mode-of-release control, and
re-ring to switches on public networks. Different countries frequently refer to these
capabilities by different names.
