Specifications
Mute
Each multiline telephone has a MUTE button that, when pressed by the user, will mute the handset transmitter
(or internal microphone on speakerphones) to prevent the user’s voice from being heard by the distant party.
The mute light flashes to indicate a muted condition. Users can respond to a SOHVA by pressing the MUTE
button and speaking to the SOHVA sender and releasing the button when they have finished their response. The
button provides push-on/push-off operation on speakerphones. Also refer to the discussion titled Handsfree
Answer Inhibit and Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announce.
N
Names (Station And Lines)
The installer can name every station and line connected to the system for identification and programming
purposes. On an LCD speakerphone, the name of called and calling stations appear in the display. When a user
selects a line for use or when it is ringing on a call, the line name appears in the LCD speakerphone display.
Night Service Automatic Switching
The installer can arrange the system to automatically enter and exit the night transfer (of ringing) mode of
operation on a timed basis.
Also refer to the discussion titled Night Transfer (Of Ringing).
Night Ringing
The attendant can manually place the system in the night ringing mode by dialing a code or pressing a
preprogrammed button. This mode overrides the direct, day 1, and day 2 automatic ringing modes. While this
feature is active, calls on lines assigned to delayed and night ringing both ring at the various stations. No other
ringing occurs unless the installer has arranged for a loud ringing bell or other external ringing device to sound
when calls appear on those assigned lines during the night ringing mode. These calls may be answered at any
telephone in the system if the user dials the proper code.
When the attendant station includes a preprogrammed night transfer (of ringing) button, its associated light
conveys the following system ringing status: day 1 ringing = steady on, day 2 ringing = wink with off time,
night ringing = continuous wink, and manual night transfer (of ringing) = flutter.
Also refer to the discussions titled Auxiliary Ringer Interface, Common Audible Ringer Interface, External
Paging Interface, Flexible Ringing Assignments, and Line Answer From Any Station.
