SECRETARY POOLING
Each keyset may be defined as an executive (BOSS in programming) or a secretary (SEC in
programming) in system programming. Each executive can have up to four secretaries and each
secretary can have up to four executives. These arrangements are known as executive/secretary
pools. There can be multiple pools in a system. When an executive is in DND, all calls to the
executive ring the first secretary assigned to that executive; if that secretary is busy, the call hunt to the
next available secretary assigned to that executive. If the secretary must communicate with the
executive while he/she is in DND, pressing the corresponding executive button on the secretary’s
keyset results in an Auto Answer intercom call being made to the executive (providing the executive is
free). The iDCS 100 has a system wide option to allow the stations to ring rather than auto announce
the executive secretary calls. A station can only be the executive of one secretary pool. In addition, a
station cannot be in more than one pool.
SINGLE LINE CONNECTIONS
Single line ports allow connection of a variety of single line telephones plus facsimile machines,
answering machines, loud bells, computer modems, cordless phones and credit card machines. When
connecting customer-provided equipment to these extensions, compatibility should be checked out
before purchase to ensure correct operation. Central office ring cadence can be selected for SLT
stations. This is helpful when optional devices cannot detect iDCS 100 intercom ring cadence.
SPEED DIAL NUMBERS
A library of 1500 speed dial numbers may be allocated as needed for iDCS 100. The system list can
have up to 500 numbers and each station can have up to 50 numbers. Speed dial numbers are
assigned in blocks of ten. Each speed dial number may contain up to 24 digits.
SPEED DIAL BY DIRECTORY
The iDCS 100 system provides the user with the ability to look up a speed dial number and place the
call. There are three speed dial selections: personal, system and station. This feature requires a display
keyset.
STATION HUNT GROUPS
System programming allows up to 20 station hunt groups on an iDCS 100. One of three ring
patterns—sequential, distributed and unconditional—is available for each group. Each unconditional
group may contain a maximum of 32 stations and each sequential and distributed group may contain
a maximum of 48 stations. A station may be assigned to more than one group. Each station group has
its own recall timer for calls transferred to that group.
STATION MESSAGE DETAIL RECORDING (SMDR)
The system provides records of calls made, received and transferred. Connecting a customer-
provided printer or call accounting system will allow collection of these records. Each call record
provides the following details: station number, outside line number, start date, start time, duration of
call, digits dialed (maximum 18) and an account code if entered. The system may print a header
followed by 50 call records per page or send continuous records with no header for use with a call
accounting machine. See the sample printouts.
The SMDR format contains many options that allow it to be customized for a company’s individual
needs. Options to print include incoming calls, outgoing calls, in and out of group status, change in
DND status and authorization codes.
