Basic Features
The following features come standard with DEFINITY ECS.
Abbreviated Dialing
Provides lists of stored numbers you can use to:
■ Place local, long-distance, and international calls
■ Activate features
■ Access remote computer equipment
You simply dial the list number and the one-, two-, or three-digit number associ-
ated with the phone number you want. The number is then automatically dialed
by the system. A frequently called number can be stored on an abbreviated dial-
ing button that you need only press once to make the call.
Administered Connections
Automatically establishes an end-to-end connection between two access or data
endpoints based on administered attributes. This feature provides capabilities
such as alarm notification, including an administrable alarm type and threshold;
automatic restoration of connections established over a Software-Defined Data
Network; ISDN-PRI trunk group [service may be referred to as ISDN-PRI (AC/AE)
Service]; scheduled as well as continuous connections; and administrable-retry
interval for failed connection attempts.
Administrable Language Displays
Allows the messages that appear on telephone display units to be shown in the
language spoken by the user. These messages are available in English (the
default), French, Italian, Spanish, or one other user-defined language. The lan-
guage for display messages is selected by each user. The feature requires
40-character display telephones.
Administration Without Hardware
Allows you to administer telephones that are not yet physically present on the
system. This feature works the same as administration with hardware: when sta-
tions are moved, user-activated features such as call forwarding and send all
calls are preserved and functional. This greatly facilitates the speed of setting up
and making changes to the telephones on the system.
Alphanumeric Dialing
Allows you to place data calls by entering an alphanumeric name rather than a
long string of numbers.
