AT&T 518-455-317 Telephone User Manual


 
Telephone Programming Options
System telephones are ready to use when they are installed, but they can be
customized to meet the needs of your business and individual users. This
customization is accomplished through Telephone Programming.
Automatic Line Selection
When a user lifts the telephone’s handset or presses [ Spkr ], the system chooses
an idle line automatically. Automatic Line Selection determines the order in
which the system looks for an idle line. You can set the system to look for lines
in any desired order. For standard phones or for any phone used mainly to call
other extensions, select an inside (intercom) line first.
Extension Name Display
With Extension Name Display, users can assign a name (up to 12 characters
long) to their extension. Then, when those users make an intercom call, group
call, or transfer a call, their name and extension number appears on the display
phone receiving the call. Similarly, users receiving a transfer return call see the
name and extension number of the person assigned to the extension that did
not answer the transferred call.
Line Ringing
Line Ringing defines when each outside line rings at a phone. For each line at
an extension, you can specify Immediate Ring, Delayed Ring (phone rings after
a 20-second delay), or No Ring.
Personal Speed Dialing
Personal Speed Dial numbers are outside phone numbers that a user dials by
pressing [
Feature ] (or [ # ] on a standard phone) plus a two-digit code. Unlike
System Speed Dial numbers, which are available to all users in the system,
Personal Speed Dial numbers are available only at the extension for which they
are programmed. Users can store up to 20 Personal Speed Dial numbers.
Programming Telephone Buttons
Telephone buttons without lines assigned to them can be programmed for
system features such as Exclusive Hold or Conference Drop or for telephone
numbers, so you can use the feature or dial the phone number with one touch.
Once programmed, these buttons are called Auto Dial buttons, because simply
pressing the button automatically dials the feature code or the telephone
number.
A user who has a system phone with programmable buttons should consider
programming them with a combination of frequently used features and outside
and intercom telephone numbers.
