Specifications

Automatic Hold—Line To Intercom
If a telephone user selects an intercom number while a line call is active, this feature causes the system to
automatically place the line call on hold. This is a fixed system feature and is always available.
Automatic Hold—Line To Line
If a user selects a second line during the time that he or she is already active on a line, this feature causes the
system to automatically place the first line call on hold. The feature allows a user to move from line call to line
call without pressing the HOLD button. The installer must enable this feature for it to be available.
Automatic Number Identification (ANI)
Automatic Number Identification (ANI) is a T1 service feature for both E&M and DID lines. Long distance
common carriers offer ANI as a feature to dial 800 and dial 900 lines. The ANI feature provides information to
an internal telephone system that identifies the telephone number of the calling party. Businesses served by a
dial 800 or dial 900 service allow any available user to answer the calls and have their internal telephone system
process the ANI information to identify the caller’s telephone number. The common carrier supplies ANI
information as DTMF digits. When the ANI feature is combined with the Dialed Number Identification Service
(DNIS) feature, the common carrier also delimits the DNIS information from the ANI information with an
asterisk (S) tone so that the FXT can process each portion properly.
ANI/DNIS Enhancements
Installers can program an option to support the DTMF ANI / DNIS with two information digits. When they
enable this feature option, the format of the digit string changes from the SANISDNISS format to a format
that includes a two-digit code that indicates the presence of ANI digits (I ANI DNIS where I equals the
two-digit string). The ANI digit string indicates the calling party’s telephone number. The DNIS digit string
identifies the call destination station.
Also refer to the paragraph titled Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS).
Automatic Pause Insertion
When the system stores a dialed number for later redial, it automatically stores a pause whenever the user waits
between digits for at least two seconds while dialing the number. The system inserts the automatic pause in the
stored number sequence at the point where the manual pause in dialing occurred. The actual time length of the
inserted pause is programmable.
Automatic Privacy
The installer can make a line private or non-private. In the private mode, a station has exclusive use of the line
during a call. No other station can access that line unless the original user includes it through the use of the
add-on conference feature. In the non-private mode, any stations with that line appearance can gain access at the
same time (sometimes known as common line pickup). Users may add up to five parties into one conversation.
