Initial System Setup
2-5
For extensions with standard phones, set Automatic Line Selection to
intercom first. This enables standard phones to access equipment features,
including intercom calling. When users lift the handsets on standard
phones, they hear intercom dial tone. To access a pool, they can dial the
pool access code 880, 881, 882, or 883 or dial 9 to access the first
available line or pool in the sequence.
Customizing Extensions
In addition to line or pool assignments, the following procedures can be used to
customize an extension:
■ Line Coverage Extension (#208) to identify an extension as the “owner”
of a specific outside line. A user at the extension can activate Call
Coverage or VMS Cover for the specified line. Use Call Coverage Rings
(#116) to specify the number of times a call should ring at the owner’s
extension before it is sent to the covering extension or VMS Cover Rings
(#117) to specify the number of times a call should ring at the owner’s
extension before it is sent to the owner’s voice mailbox.
■ Display Language (#303) to specify the language (English, French, or
Spanish) for messages that appear on a system display phone.
■ Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) t o prevent other extensions with the
same line from joining a call at the extension. This feature is also useful for
extensions connected to a modem, fax, or any device whose function can
be disrupted by someone trying to join it.
■ Call Waiting (#316) to identify standard phone extensions that can receive
the system (not the local telephone company) call-waiting tone for a
second incoming call when active on a call.
■ Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to prevent the extension from making
certain types of outgoing calls (on
all
system lines).
■ Disallowed List Assignments (#405) to assign one or more Disallowed
Phone Number Lists to the extension. Use Disallowed Phone Number
Lists (#404) to create the lists of outside numbers that extensions
cannot
dial.
■ Allowed List Assignments (#408) to assign one or more Allowed Phone
Number Lists to the extension. Use Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407)
to create the lists of outside numbers that otherwise-restricted extensions
can
dial.
■ Pickup Group Extensions (#501), Calling Group Extensions (#502),
Night Service Group Extensions (#504), and Hunt Group Extensions
(#505) to place the extension in any of these groups. See ‘‘Setting Up
Groups of Extensions’’ on page 2-14 for more information.
