AT&T 8434 Telephone User Manual


 
Issue 1 March 1996 5
The phrase “go off-hook” means that you must lift the handset, or press
the button. The phrase “go on-hook” means that you must
replace the handset on the handset cradle, or press the button.
For most of the procedures given in this document, you are instructed to
go off-hook to access the feature. This is not always required, especially
when you are cancelling or deactivating a feature using the softkeys or
the feature buttons.
If your voice terminal is an Attendant Backup position, you will have “con-
sole” permissions assigned to your voice terminal. This is done so you
can do most of the tasks available from the standard attendant console.
You will hear the following call progress tones during normal operation:
Dial tone — a steady tone you hear when you first select an idle
call appearance.
Ringback — the normal ringing tone you hear after you dial a
guest room or outside number.
Busy tone — a slow on-off-on-off tone you hear when the person
you are calling is busy on their telephone.
Reorder tone — a fast on-off-on-off tone you hear when calling
facilities are not available or out of order.
Confirmation tone — a three-burst tone you hear after success-
fully using a feature access code.
Intercept tone — a high-to-low tone you hear when a call or fea-
ture access code is not accepted.
