Features and Capabilities
The following list provides an overview of the system’s features. The features
apply to all releases of PARTNER® ACS unless specified otherwise.
■ Full line of system phones, some with displays showing date, time, and
programming and feedback messages. All system phones provide access
to multiple outside lines and system features.
■ Programmable buttons on system phones, providing one-touch access to
system features simply by pressing the button.
■ Intuitive operation of basic call handling capabilities including transfer,
conference, and hold.
■ Intercom (inside) calling to other system extensions using an Intercom
button and the two-digit number assigned to the extension. Users can
either ring or voice signal an idle system phone; use Voice Interrupt On
Busy to signal another user who is active on a call; or manually signal to
audibly alert another predetermined extension.
■ Grouping of extensions for flexibility in directing and answering calls.
■ Integrated voice messaging support with the PARTNER MAIL VS system
or PARTNER MAIL system, so callers can reach a desired extension or
group without operator assistance and leave messages at unanswered or
busy extensions.
■ PARTNER Voice Messaging PC Card provides a voice messaging service
as well as effective solutions for after-hours call answering and back-up for
the receptionist. (Available with Release 1.1 or later.)
■ Caller ID support on system display phones (if Caller ID service is available
from your local telephone company and you subscribe to it).
■ Power failure operation with standard phones, allowing you to make and
receive calls during a power failure while retaining programmed equipment
settings for up to four days. (An optional Uninterruptible Power Supply, or
UPS, is also available to allow full equipment operation during a power
failure.)
