Meridian Digital Telephone IP Adapter Installation and Administration Guide 103
October 2001 Using the digital telephone
Telephone features operation
This section describes how to use the following digital telephone features in
host-controlled modes:
Emergency service calls
Do not place an emergency service call, for instance a call for police, fire
department, or ambulance help, using a telephone connected to a Meridian
Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit.
Hold
When you press the Hold key on a host-controlled call, the holding party
receives the Hold treatment defined on the host PBX. For example, if the host
PBX is configured to play music for the holding parties, then the holding party
hears music. You can press the local calling key to place a new call.
Call Waiting
Since the Meridian Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit does not use host-
controlled indicators, there are never any indicator conflicts when a call is
presented to the station.
The Meridian Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit always checks the status of
your station before ringing it. If your station is busy with a call, the alert tone is
sounded instead.
How Call Waiting works in host-controlled mode
If you are busy with a host-controlled call, incoming calls are handled as
follows:
!
call forward
!
call transfer
!
call waiting
!
conference

emergency service calls
