CHAPTER 2
DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM FEATURES
ABANDONED HOLD RELEASE
If an on-hold party hangs up at the CO/PBX end of a
connection, causing an interruption in the line current,
the system will drop the line from the hold condition
and return it to service. The time interval between
hang-up and line-drop is programmable in line class of
service programming with choices of either 50 msec or
350 msec. This feature is usually dependent upon
special arrangements that must be made at the CO
end of the connection. The line select indicator will
turn off to indicate an idle line after a call on that line
hasbeenabandoned.
ACCESS DENIED
Access to particular lines can be denied at certain
stations in the system through system programming.
A station user cannot select a denied line for use.
This feature is programmable on a per line/per station
basis in station class of service programming.
ACCOUNT CODE
BUITON
Station class of service programming can be used to
assign an Account Code button to any programmable
button location at a station as part of the button
mapping procedure. With this Account Code button
available, the user can press it and then dial the
account code without interrupting the call. Only the
user of the Account Code button will hear the DTMF
tones when the code is dialed. The distant on-line
party will not hear the DTMF tones, and the line will
not be placed on hold. The distant on-line party can be
heard while the account code is being dialed.
ACCOUNT CODES WITH
POSITIVE VERIFICATION
Specific account codes can be assigned by station
users to specific types of calls. The account codes
are used by the system to identify calls by category, or
special grouping, for call recording purposes. All calls
with the same account code will be reported together
by the station message detail accounting feature.
The system may be programmed to verify the user
entered account code and sound an ermr tone if it is
incorrect. The system may be programmed by call
costing and SMDA reporting class of service
programming to permit station users to enter account
codes for incoming calls and/or out going calls if
desired. Account codes are entered while on line
either before an out going call is dialed or after the
distant patty on an incoming call has hung up. On out
going calls, the user who enters the account code is
associated with the call record except when the call is
transferred. On transferred calls, the transferee is
associated with the call record. On incoming calls, the
last user active on a call is the one that is associated
with the costed call record. The system can be
programmed to place an appropriate message on the
display to remind users of LCD speakerphones to
enter an account code. Account codes may be from
three to eight digits in length as set by class of service
programming. When the user enters an account code,
the system will force the use of the programmed
length, but will verify only the first three digits to
determine validity.
ALL-CALL PAGING
All-call paging allows all stations to receive
announcements through the station speaker at once.
All-call paging is also sent to the paging port where it
can be applied to the input of an external paging
amplifier. Origination of announcements must be via
the station handset. Each station can be programmed
to receive and/or originate all-call page. The ability to
receive and originate all-call paging at a station is
enabled by station class of service programming. Also
see the discussion titled: Zone Paging.
AREA PAGING INTERFACE
Refer to the discussion titled: ExternalPaging
Interface.
ASSIST
Bull-ON
This feature allows a station user to program a button
to be used for sending a message to an LCD
speakerphone. Once programmed, the station user
can press the ASSIST button at anytime and then
press a DSS button to sound a tone burst at the called
station and present a preprogrammed message in the
station display. A message can be sent while on a call
without alerting the distant party. This feature is useful
for requesting assistance while engaging on a call. For
example, a customer service representative could
request assistance from a supervisor while talking to a
problem caller. The supervisor, upon receiving the
tone and noting the display message, could perform
an executive override or service observing action to
join the call or monitor it.
AUTOMATIC CALLBACK
If a busy tone is encountered after an intercom station
is called, a special code number can be dialed that will
cause the system to automatically ring the calling and
called stations when the called station becomes idle.
