The default setting of 1.5 will cause disconnect and fresh dial tone from the CO. Range: 0.2–2.0. Default: 1.5.
Function 1: System parameters IVX C-Class Installation Manual Function 17: System speed-dial Up to 100 system speed dial names and associated numbers can be stored, in location numbers 600–699, for access by any station. A user can initiate a system speed-dial by dialing the speed dial location number or by accessing the name through the Esi-Dex feature. In Function 32, access to system speed-dial can be denied to individual stations (see page F.4).
IVX C-Class Installation Manual Function 2: CO lines Function 2: CO lines The IVX C-Class system can operate on a station-by-station basis as a PBX or as a combined key/PBX using standard loop start lines. If a station has line keys programmed, the user accesses the lines by pressing one of these keys or by dialing 9 (or 8 or 7). If a station does not have line keys programmed, the user always accesses CO lines by dialing 9 (or 8 or 7).
Function 2: CO lines IVX C-Class Installation Manual 2. Assign outbound CO line groups CO lines can be grouped for outbound, pooled access into one of three line groups: 9, 8, or 7. Note: A line can only be in one line group or designated as a private line. Select the line group and press the # key to confirm. Outgoing calls will be assigned from the highest CO to the lowest available. Or, to delete the line group number (whereupon the line can only receive inbound CO line calls), press HOLD.
IVX C-Class Installation Manual Function 2: CO lines Function 22: Translation table programming Function 221: Centrex/PBX access code If the system is to be used behind Centrex or another PBX, you must list the dial access code used to gain access to a CO line from Centrex or the PBX, so that toll restriction can ignore the access code digit(s). Users must dial the access code after accessing a line by either: (a.) Dialing 9, 8, or 7 or (b.
Function 2: CO lines IVX C-Class Installation Manual Function 23: CO line parameters Function 231: System CO line receive volume Many variables can affect the volume of the CO lines. Weak lines can reduce the system’s ability to properly detect DTMF dialed by an outside caller. Conversely, “hot” lines can cause DTMF distortion and/or increase the opportunity for message talk-off (i. e., messages being cut off before completion).

The overhead paging port (extension 199) can be paged along with other extensions in a zone by including the desired page zone for extension 199. All digital phone extensions are included in (and cannot be removed from) the all-page zone. Analog extensions cannot be included in page zones. 8.
IVX C-Class Installation Manual Function 3: Extension programming Overhead paging interface You can connect a dry-contact overhead paging device to the system through the first port card’s 66 block. The overhead paging port’s access is fixed as extension 199 for programming purposes. The user can access it by: (a.) Dialing 1 9 9 or (b.) Programming 199 as a programmable key and/or including 199 in the page zone.
Function 3: Extension programming IVX C-Class Installation Manual Function 32: Extension feature authorization The Installer or Administrator can allow or deny many extension features on an extension-by-extension basis. A user, however, can only program and use allowed features (by using a combination of voice and display prompts) from his/her phone. Below is an example of a completed programming worksheet. The programming sequence is: 1. Ext. 2. Name 3. Toll allow 4. System speed- dial 5.
IVX C-Class Installation Manual Function 3: Extension programming Function 35: Extension button mapping By default, the programmable feature keys’ initial state is “not programmed” (except in the case of station 100, on which the upper left key is a day/night key). Use this function to change the programmable feature keys system-wide. Users can later change the programmable feature key positions for their stations as part of station programming.
Function 3: Extension programming IVX C-Class Installation Manual Feature keys Feature keys, as listed below, cannot be programmed system-wide but, rather, must be programmed for each individual station.
