Display Operation Modes
Most normal call handling activity, such as placing and answering calls and using features,
takes place in
“Normal Mode.”
Call displays in this mode require no manual action by the
user except for operation of the SCROLL button to display Screen 2 in certain types of calls.
Some terminals (SLACs and logged-in DGC stations) remain in Normal Mode unless their
users deliberately enter another mode, while others revert to a clock/calendar display (Local
Mode) when there is no call handling activity.
The Display feature has four other modes of operation that the user must enter to operate
the Directory, Inspect, Local Display, or Program features:
● Directory Mode:
for searching for names/numbers in the system’s integrated
directory; entered by pressing DIRECTORY.
● Inspection Mode:
for displaying information about call appearances, assigned
features, stored numbers, etc; entered by pressing INSPECT.
● Local Mode: for accessing the built-in clock and timer functions of the display unit;
entered by pressing LOCAL at some terminals; default mode at some idle terminals.
● Program Mode: for supporting the Program feature and storing Repertory Dialing,
Flex DSS, and Personal Speed Dialing numbers; entered by moving the PROGRAM
switch to its “P” position (except on SLACs) or by dialing access code #4 (at any
display set).
General Rules for Normal Mode
● The display tracks, character by character, whatever a user enters from the dial pad
buttons.
Entries that exceed the capacity of Screen 1 automatically overflow to
Screen 2; when this occurs, a continuation symbol “-” appears in position 1 of
Screen 2.
— If dialed characters form a valid Personal Dial Code (PDC), Data Dial Code
(DDC), or Direct Group Calling (DGC) access code, the Display ID from the
system’s integrated directory is shown.
— If dialed characters form a valid feature access code requiring additional input
(such as for Account Code Entry), a feature prompt is displayed: the
additional input is tracked character by character.
— If dialed characters form a valid Personal Speed Dialing code, the number
stored under the code is displayed; if no number is stored. NO
INFORMATION is displayed.
● The user can alternate between Screen 1 and Screen 2 by pressing the SCROLL
button. Pressing SCROLL has no effect if Screen 2 is empty.
● Any information stored by the terminal user (Repertory Dialing numbers, Personal
Speed Dialing numbers,
etc.) will be displayed when the feature is used. Any
information stored by the System Administrator [Automatic Route Selection (ARS)
