SETTING UP CALL FILTERING
Programming the filtering (or "screening") function is a fairly technical operation and you should
contact your telecom administrator.
Note :
the filtering function requires that two programmable keys be available and is therefore not
possible on M 401 sets, which have only one programmable key.
Filtering generally involves two extensions and two people:
●
the "filtered" person, generally a manager
●
the "filtering" person, generally a secretary.
One secretary can filter calls for several managers and one manager can have calls filtered by
several secretaries.
Before activating the filtering function:
●
your telecom administrator needs to know the two extension numbers (secretary and
manager),
●
you will need to find out from your telecom administrator which programmable keys
correspond to each extension (if you haven't provided him/her with the extension
numbers, he/she will select them according to which numbers are available),
●
as soon as you have the "green light" from your telecom administrator, you can start using
and benefiting from all the features of the filtering function (
see 5.3.).
