Manual Signaling

Description

This feature allows a user to signal another voice terminal. The user may do this at any

time, whether on-hook or off-hook. In voice terminal user guides, this feature is called

“Signaling.”

Multiline voice terminal users can signal another predesignated multiline voice terminal by

pressing an associated Manual Signaling (SIGNAL) button. A single tone burst is provided at

the signaled terminal.

The signaling voice terminal also receives the tone and can use this

feature while in any call state.

No LED indication is associated with the Manual Signaling

feature.

no audible signal is received by either the signaling or the called voice terminal.
