Direct Extension Dial Delay (#112)
Description
This System Programming procedure specifies the number of times (0–9) an
incoming call should ring before it is answered by the Direct Extension Dial
feature.
Related Features
■ Direct Extension Dial affects incoming calls only on lines identified using
Direct Extension Dial Lines (#205).
■ You must program a button on the system display phone at extension 10 to
turn Direct Extension Dial on and off. Use Direct Extension Dial Button
(#113) to program the button.
■ You must use Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback to record a
message to prompt callers to dial an extension number or Hunt Group
number after the system answers an outside call.
■ If you use Caller ID, make sure Direct Extension Dial Delay is set to 2 rings
or more to ensure that Caller ID information is captured.
Considerations
■ The Automatic System/Direct Extension Dial PC card is purchased
separately and must be installed. If the PC Card has not been installed,
see the
PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions
.
■ Use the Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback feature to record a
message before using Direct Extension Dial since there is no default
message.
■ This feature works independently of Line Ringing, which determines how
an outside call rings at the extension—immediately, after a 20 second
delay, or not at all. Direct Extension Dial Delay specifies the number of
rings a caller hears before the system answers the call.
