553-3001-306 Standard 10.00 January 2002
This feature allows the use of digits 0 through 9, and the asterisk (*) and
octothorpe (#) to activate features. Special Prefix (SPRE) dialing feature is
still supported, with or without the FFC feature enabled. However, the
Special Prefix (SPRE) must be assigned in LD 15 in order for FFCs to operate
for those features that also use SPRE codes.
The FFC package allows analog (500/2500 type) telephones to activate these
features:
• Automatic Wake Up (AWU)
• Electronic Lock (ELK)
• Override, and
• Remote Call Forward (RCFW).
Customers define one or more codes at their discretion in LD 57 (FFC). For
Service Change updates, refer to the Administration (553-3001-311).
The basic FFC operation allows a telephone to access features normally
available by dialing SPRE codes. FFCs are not supported, however, on a
Meridian 1 proprietary telephone that is attempting a call pickup on a Dial
Intercom ringing call.
A telephone can access a feature via FFC only if that telephone can currently
access the same feature via SPRE dialing.
Any telephone, that does not currently have SPRE access, receives intercept
treatment when dialing FFCs. Telephone operation remains the same (only
the codes are different) so that the FFC code is dialed instead of the SPRE
code. Therefore, each feature enabled must have an FFC individually defined.
When FFCT is YES in LD 57, the Meridian 1 returns a confirmation tone to
the user after completing some feature operations.
The confirmation tone is the same as the special dial tone.
FFC allows analog (500/2500 type) telephones to Override established calls,
based on the telephone’s programmed Class of Service. Analog (500/2500
type) telephones can also activate and deactivate Call Forward by dialing a
single FFC.
