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 ap-
pearance can gain access at the same time (some-
times known as common line pickup). A line
Is
specified as private or non-private through system or
administration programming. Also see the discussion
titled

Automatic redial of the last dialed number can be
made available at every station through button
programming. In most cases, the station user must
program a button for use as an auto redial button; how-
ever, some telephone models provide an Al 6 button
as part of the A-button field and this
provides
an auto
redial function as a fixed feature. With this feature, a
busy number or an unanswered call can be redialed
repeatedly. Once automatic redial is activated, the sta-
tion will select the line, automatically dial the number,
and watt for a response.
tt
will do this once a minute
for approximately 10 minutes. The user must lii the
handset to take immediate control if the call is com-
pleted. Users of the optional speakerphone station
can take control by pressing the SPKR button instead
of lifting the handset.
Auxiliary Equipment Interface
A non-key system telephone device or data device can
be connected ahead of the common equipment on cer-
tain line ports across the tip and ring leads. Special
terminals in the line jack are provided for this purpose.
The system can detect an off -hook condition in the
connected device, and turn on the line status light at
the key system telephone stations with access to the
line to indicate the busy
condttin.
