DCS Call Forwarding
Allows users to forward all calls to a selected extension number within the distrib-
uted communication system network or to an external number. If Call Forwarding
and DCS Call Forwarding are both active, and if a call is forwarded between
extensions on the same node, the Call Forwarding coverage path is used. If the
nodes are different, the DCS Call Forwarding coverage path is used.
DCS Call Waiting
DCS Call Waiting allows calls from one node to busy single-line telephones at
another node to wait until the called party is available to accept the call. With
DCS Call Waiting, a single-line voice terminal user, by knowing a call is waiting,
can quickly process calls from locations within the DCS. DCS Call Waiting works
the same way as normal Call Waiting.
DCS Distinctive Ringing
Rings or activates alerting on your telephone in such a way that you are aware of
the type of incoming call before answering it. This feature operates in a distrib-
uted communication system environment the same as it does within a single sys-
tem.
By default, internal calls are identified by a 1-burst ringing pattern, external calls
by a 2-burst ringing pattern, and priority calls by a 3-burst ringing pattern. You
can administer these patterns, however.
DCS Leave Word Calling
Enables users to leave preprogrammed “call me” messages at other terminals
within the DCS network. Messages can be left by calling, called, or covering
users.
DCS Multiappearance Conference/ Transfer
Provides transparency of transferring and conferencing within a distributed com-
munication system network. This feature allows a user to transfer a call within the
distributed communication system as he or she would within the system. Confer-
ence Calls can be placed and calls can be transferred to users within the distrib-
uted communication system by dialing the Uniform Dial Plan extension number.
