Executive Barge-In (Override)
The feature allows specially programmed stations with a barge-in key to override the
automatic privacy of another station. Programming allows barge-in with or without a
warning tone. Stations may also be programmed as “secure” so that they cannot be barged-
in on.
y With Warning Tone
When the barge-in with tone option is set the barging-in keyset has its microphone on and
the barged-in on station receives an override display.
A double burst of warning tone sounds and repeats for every 10 seconds. This feature does
not work from single line sets.
y Without Warning Tone
When the barge-in without tone option is set, the barging-in keyset has its microphone
muted and the barged-in on station does not receive an override display. This feature does
not work from single line sets.
BARGE-IN WITHOUT TONE MAY VIOLATE THE LAW CONCERNING THE RIGHT
TO PRIVACY. SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO. LTD IS IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE POSSIBLE MISUSE OF THIS FEATURE.
Executive/Secretary Pooling
Each keyset may be defined as a BOSS or a SECRETARY in system programming. Each
BOSS can have up to two SECRETARIES and each SECRETARY can have up to two
BOSSES. These arrangements are known as executive/secretary pools. There can be
multiple pools in a system. When a BOSS is in DND, all calls to the BOSS ring the first
SECRETARY assigned to that BOSS; if that SECRETARY is busy, the call hunt to the next
available SECRETARY assigned to that BOSS. If the SECRETARY must communicate with
the BOSS while he/she is in DND, pressing the corresponding BOSS key on the
SECRETARY’s keyset results in an Auto Answer intercom call being made to the BOSS
(provided the BOSS should be free). A station can only be the BOSS of one SECRETARY
pool. In addition, a station cannot be in more than one pool.
External Music Interfaces
DCS-408 provides an interface for connecting a customer-provided external music source.
This source can be used for background music, station music on hold or trunk music on
hold.
