Operating instructions

OPERATION
The caller can manually transfer a call by using
I
touch-tone telephones or other equipment. The
called party can manually transfer a call with either
touch-tone or pulse-dialing equipment connected
through the ATX-300. If you plan to manually transfer
calls with a pulse-dialing telephone, change your
device selection codes to avoid the use of the
*
and
# symbols.
WHEN CAN I ENTER A DEVICE SELECTION CODE?
Device selection codes can be entered any time a
call is in process. In AUTO mode, a caller can start
entering device selection codes two seconds after
hearing the first ring. This allows calls to be
processed while the system is unattended.
CORRECTING MISTAKES
If
a mistake is made entering a device selection
code, stop entering tones for five seconds or longer,
and reenter the correct device selection code.
4.2.3 CALL OPTI-MIZER
Often it is desirable for all calls after hours and on
weekends to go directly to the FAX machine or
another automatic telephone device. This is
especially useful when expanding a voice line with
FAX and/or MODEM.
The primary application is for a company that has
several incoming lines with rollover. Only one
number is dialed by callers for voice traffic. If that line
is busy, the telephone company “rolls over” the call
to a second incoming line. If the second line is busy,
the call “rolls over”, and so on until the incoming call
finds a line that is not busy.
The last line is published as the FAX number. Any
incoming FAX call will ring in on-this line. During the
day, the last line is primarily used for voice, but may
also be used for both incoming and outgoing FAX.
However, at night, any call coming in on the last line
is assumed to be a FAX. This is because all other
lines would have to be busy for a voice call to come
in on this line.
TRANSFER DEFEAT
Dialing “80” on an inbound
call will cause your ATX-300
to ignore all device selection
codes for the rest of that call.
This is useful if you are
calling into an answering
machine to get your
messages. This will prevent
tones that may be on your
incoming message tape from
accidentally transferring your
call.
