AT&T 1987 AT&T Telephone User Manual


 
If a station is translated to not send ringing to coverage when calls to this station
are unanswered, the Send All Calls feature overrides this instruction (ringing will be
sent).
If a covering station activates Send All Calls, the station is removed from the
coverage path completely. Coverage calls will not be directed to the station.
Call Coverage
—Group: If a station with Send All Calls activated has group
coverage and all the coverage receivers are busy, a call waits at the station while the
system checks for an idle receiver every five seconds. When one becomes available,
the call is directed to the covering station.
Call Coverage
—Individual: If a station with Send All Calls activated has only
individual call coverage and all coverage receivers are busy, a call stays at the
station; it does not go to coverage.
Distinctive Ringing: Normal audible ringing is turned off for incoming calls when
Send All Calls is activated, unless single-ring reminder is administered.
Hands-Free Answer on Intercom: Activating Send All Calls will cause an active
AUTO ANS button to turn off. As long as the Send All Calls feature is in use, AUTO
ANS cannot be turned on.
Line Status Indications: The line status lights still flash for incoming calls when
Send All Calls is in effect even though normal ringing is cut off. The lights stop
flashing when the calls are answered by a covering station or dropped by the caller.
Personal Line: Ringing on Personal Lines is turned off by activation of Send All
Calls whether the station is the principal (owner) of the line or not. Personal Line
calls follow the coverage arrangements of the principal station. If the principal
station is not covered, the call will simply stay at the principal station until dropped
(even if other stations with that Personal Line have coverage).
