Loudspeaker paging systems
allow you to broadcast a message over a
large area, by connecting the paging system directly to the PAGE jack on
the processor module. The system supports all Lucent Technologies
paging systems including the entire PagePac line. The system also
supports most paging systems from other manufacturers when the paging
systems are connected using a paging interface device. For information
about how to use a loudspeaker paging system with the system, see
Chapter 5.
PARTNER PassageWay
®
Solution
allows you to combine your Personal
Computer (PC) running Microsoft® Windows
TM
3.1 or later, Microsoft
Windows for Workgroups Version 3.11 or later, or Windows 95 with your
phone. You can then use your PC for tasks such as dialing out from an
electronic phone list and logging phone calls.
Music-on-Hold systems
allow you to play recorded music or messages to
callers while they are on hold, by connecting the audio source to the
processor module. The system supports the Lucent Technologies Magic on
Hold system and most models from other manufacturers. (The
performance of music over telephone lines is a public performance under
United States Copyright law. Accordingly, in order for the performance of
that music to be lawful, it must be licensed annually to the user by the
copyright owners or their representatives. The Magic on Hold system
includes the required license for the first year. This license must be
renewed annually.)
Remote Administration Units (RAUs)
allow you to perform System and
Centralized Telephone Programming from a remote location. Users of
Partner ACS Release 3.0 can also perform Remote Programming using
Partner ACS Remote Administration software which is available separately.
Extra alerts
help make users aware of incoming calls. For example, you
can use an audible alert (chime, horn, or bell) to replace a phone ring in a
noisy area, such as a factory. Similarly, you can use a visual alert (strobe or
light) to replace a phone ring in a quiet area, such as a library. Lucent
Technologies offers several compatible alerts.
Speakerphones
provide hands-free two-way operation of a phone without
lifting the handset. Combining a speakerphone with a system phone or a
standard phone in a conference room or office is an inexpensive way for
several people at a meeting to conference in other parties. (In conference
rooms, a separate speakerphone—such as the SoundStation from Lucent
Technologies—is recommended, since the built-in speaker on a system
phone is designed for individual use.)
Headsets
allow users to hold hands-free conversations. A headset is a
combination earphone and microphone worn on the head, useful for
receptionists, salespeople, or others who need to have their hands free
while talking on the phone. Lucent Technologies offers several compatible
headsets.
