Exclusion
Exclusion
Description
This feature allows multiline voice terminal users to keep other users with appearances of
the same Personal Line from listening in on or interrupting their calls. It can also be used in
a Principal Station/Bridging Station arrangement by either party to exclude other inside
stations from a private call.
Exclusion allows users to exclude the attendant and other
stations from an existing or held call, or to drop other System 25 users from a call.
The EXCLUSION button status and I-use LEDs are lighted steadily when the feature is
invoked. When an excluded call is placed on hold, the EXCLUSION button’s I-use LED goes
dark and the status LED winks with the LED of the held line.
Exclusion can be applied to only one call at a time. Once Exclusion is invoked on a call it will
remain active until the user either presses the button a second time or disconnects the call.
Considerations
Exclusion allows the sharing of a Personal Line or a bridged System Access (SA)
appearance by several users while retaining privacy for each one.
Pressing the EXCLUSION button at any time during a call, regardless of how the call was
originated, drops all other inside stations and tones.
An inside party can be included on a
private call by pressing EXCLUSION first and then adding the inside party.
Interactions
The following features interact with Exclusion.
Automatic Intercom:
Any attempt to activate Exclusion while active on an Automatic
Intercom call will drop the other party.
Bridging of System Access Buttons:
If a principal or bridging station presses the
EXCLUSION button during a call, all other internal stations on the call will be dropped. In
addition, Exclusion will prevent any other internal station from bridging onto the call.
Callback Queuing: Pressing the EXCLUSION button does not drop a queued call. The
EXCLUSION button’s status LED tracks the status LED of the associated call button. For
example, on a callback attempt, the EXCLUSION LED will also change from winking to
flashing. If the EXCLUSION button is tracking a conference on hold, it will stay winking with
the rest of the conference. When the callback attempt is answered, the EXCLUSION LED
lights steadily to track all the conference buttons.
Conference: When Exclusion is invoked, all other inside parties will be dropped. If a private
conference including inside parties is desired, the user should activate Exclusion first and
then set up the conference.
