Automatic Extension Privacy (#304)
Description
This System Programming procedure lets you either allow users to join active
calls at an extension or prevent users from joining active calls at an extension.
When Automatic Extension Privacy is Assigned for an extension, other users
cannot join active calls at that extension. This feature is typically used for
standard phones and extensions connected to fax machines, modems, and
credit card scanners, which make and receive data calls that should not be
interrupted.

To manually change an extension’s Privacy state, users can program the
Privacy feature on a button with lights. Users can then press the Privacy
button to activate the feature (green light on) or deactivate the feature
(green light off) when they want someone to join a call at their extension. (If
Automatic Extension Privacy is Assigned at an extension, the green light is
lit automatically after programming the Privacy button to indicate that
Privacy is currently active. If this is the case, and the Privacy button is
pressed, the feature is deactivated. To activate Privacy again, you must
press the button.)
This feature applies only to active calls. Any user can retrieve a held call
unless Exclusive Hold is used.
Considerations
If you want to be able to intercept calls routed to an auxiliary device—such
as an answering machine, voice messaging system, or PARTNER
Attendant—make sure Automatic Extension Privacy is Not Assigned for the
auxiliary equipment extension.
Standard phones and system phones without a programmed Privacy button
cannot override this feature once it is assigned to an extension.
