CHAPTER 2
DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM FEATURES
ACCESS DENIED
Access to particular lines can be denied at certain
stations in the system through system programming.
This feature is programmable on a per line/per station
basis as part of system or administration
programming.
ADD-ON CONFERENCE
(2 INTERNAL, 1 EXTERNAL PARTIES)
This system feature allows a station, while operating in
a private mode, to add another station to an outside
call.
ALL-CALL PAGING
(VIA STATION SPEAKERS)
All-call paging allows all of the stations to receive
announcements at the same time through the station
speaker. Origination of announcements must be via a
station handset. Each station can be programmed to
receive and/or to originate an all-call page. The
system default condition is that all stations have both
receive and originate capability. The arrangement of
paging as all-call is controlled by both system and
administration programming. See the discussion titled,
Zone Paging (via Station Speakers).
ALL INTERCOM LINKS
BUSY INDICATION
When all intercom paths are busy, the system causes
the intercom light at each station to be on steady.
AUTO DIAL
Each multiline station provides programmable dialing
features. Programmable buttons can be programmed
to store numbers for automatic dialing purposes. The
stored numbers can be up to fifteen digits in length
and can include line or intercom selection, numbers, #,
S, pauses, and flash signals. A pause is stored each
time the HOLD button is pressed, and a flash signal is
stored each time the TAP button is pressed. The
pause and flash intervals are programmable. Any
programmable button that does not have a line
assignment can be programmed as an auto dial.
Additionally, an auto dial number can be stored as a
secondary function at every button programmed for
direct station selection. Often used host PBX or
CENTREX feature access codes can be stored at a
programmable button location to provide one-button
access to the features. Also refer to the discussions
titled, Automatic Pause Insertion, Station Speed Dial,
and Programmable DSS/BLF.
AUTO-SAVE FEATURE
The auto-save feature can be used to save the last
manually dialed number at any unprogrammed button
or at a specific button that was previously reserved for
this purpose. The button chosen for auto-save must be
blank and not currently programmed as a DSS button,
line select button, or auto dial button. An auto-save
can be made at a button previously used as an
auto-save button; however, the previously stored
number will be over-written. As many manually dialed
numbers can be saved in this manner as there are
separate unused buttons to be used for storage. If a
dialed number is longer than 15 digits, two or more
buttons can be used to save portions of it for later
chain dialing.
AUTOMATIC ABANDONED
HOLD RELEASE
If a distant party abandons a hold condition and
disconnects, the central office (CO) will send a forward
disconnect signal to the telephone system. When the
key system detects this signal, it will drop the line from
the hold condition and return it to service. The forward
disconnect signal may be either 50 msec. or 350
msec. and the key system is programmable to match
this time interval. Both the system and the
administration programming can be used to set the
time interval between hang-up and line-drop.
AUTOMATIC HOLD TRANSFER TO INTERCOM
(ANSWER HOLD)
If the intercom line is selected while an outside line call
is active, this system feature causes the outside call to
be automatically placed on hold.
AUTOMATIC PAUSE INSERTION
When the system stores a dialed number for later
redial, it automatically stores a pause whenever the
user waits between digits. The automatic pause is
inserted in the stored number sequence at the point
where the manual pause in dialing occurred. The wait
time is programmable between 2 sec. and 750 msec.
The wait period is programmable by system or
administration programming.
AUTOMATIC PRIVACY
(PROGRAMMABLE)
A line can be made private or non-private through
class of service programming. In the private mode, a
station has exclusive use of the line during a call. No
other station can access that line unless it is included
through the use of the add-on conference feature. In
the non-private mode, all stations with that line
