Busy Station Callback
When reaching a busy station, callers may request a callback by pressing one
key or dialling a code. The system rings the caller back when that station
becomes idle (a system–wide maximum of 100 callbacks are allowed at one time,
including busy station and busy trunk).
Busy Station Indications (BLF)
DSS/BLF keys may be assigned to any keyset. These keys will be off when the
station is idle, light red when that station is in use and flash distinctively when that
station is in DND mode.
Call Forwarding
Station users can forward internal and outside calls to other destinations
immediately (Forward All), when busy (Forward Busy) or when not answered
within programmable duration (Forward No Answer).
These forward destinations can all be different. Once a destination has been
programmed, it can be turned on and off with a programmable key. Forward All
Calls takes priority over Busy and No Answer conditions.
In addition to the three usual methods of forwarding described above, a fourth
option called Follow Me is available. This option allows station users to set a
Forward All condition from his/her station to another station while at the remote
station. To display the Follow Me condition, the TRSF key lights steady red at the
station that is forwarded. The TRSF key also lights if Forward All is set and no
key is programmed for Forward All.
Keyset users can also be given an external call forward key to forward their calls
to an external phone number. Each outside line may be programmed to either
follow or ignore station call forwarding. A per–station option controls whether
internal calls forward to voice mail or not. SLTs must have the system
administrator program this feature for them.
Call Pickup
With directed call pickup, a user can answer calls ringing at any station by dialling
a code plus that extension number. The group pickup feature allows the user to
answer any call ringing within a pickup group. Pickup keys may be customised
with extenders to allow pickup from a specific station or pickup group. The DCS-
816 has 8 programmable pickup groups.
Dial By Name
Each system and personal speed dial number can have an associated directory
name. A speed dial number can be selected by scrolling alphabetically through
the directory name list. This on–line “directory” allows the user to look up and dial
numbers in seconds.
Direct Station Selection (DSS)
Programmable keys can be assigned as DSS keys and associated with extension
numbers. Users press these keys to call or transfer calls to the assigned stations.
