DCS Alphanumeric Display for Terminals
Within a distributed communication system, call information is displayed on
users’ alphanumeric displays. This feature allows calling-name display,
called-name display, and miscellaneous identifiers to be transferred from a tele-
phone on one node to a telephone on another node. This gives the user consid-
erable call handling capabilities when calls are made to and from other
distributed communication system nodes.
DCS Attendant Control of Trunk Group Access
Allows an attendant at any node in the distributed communication system to take
control of any outgoing trunk group at an adjacent node. This is helpful when an
attendant wants to prevent telephone users from calling out on a specific trunk
group for any number of reasons, such as reserving a trunk group for incoming
calls or for a very important outgoing call.
DCS Attendant Display
Provides attendants with some transparency when displaying call-related infor-
mation for calls made to or from both local and remote distributed communica-
tion system nodes.
DCS Automatic Callback
Allows a user at one node to make an automatic callback call to a user at another
node in the DCS.
DCS Automatic Circuit Assurance
Allows a user or attendant at one node to activate or deactivate Automatic Circuit
Assurance referral calls for the entire DCS network. This transparency allows the
referral calls to originate at a node other than the node that detects the problem.
DCS Busy Verification of Terminals and Trunks
Allows attendants and multi-appearance telephone users to make test calls to
telephones and trunk groups that are located at other nodes within the distrib-
uted communication system.
DCS Call Coverage
Provides the DCS messaging required for calls to be covered on remote systems
when there is a DCS signaling link (BX.25 or ISDN-PRI) for the trunk groups. Calls
to an extension on one system are covered by extensions on remote systems that
are administered as coverage points.
