Telephone Features (instructions for customizing begin on page 14)
Telephone customization is used to make different telephones in the system work in different
ways.
■
LINE USE PERMISSION. You can assign each line of each telephone one of the following
permissions.
●
No Permission. The telephone may not use that line at all except when a call on that line
is transferred to it.
●
Full Permission. The user may place and answer calls on that line. (Installed setting).
●
Answer Only Permission. The user may answer calls or retrieve held calls on that line.
■
AUTOMATIC LINE SELECTION. This feature provides the dial tone when you pick up the
receiver, without having to first select a line by pressing a line button. Customizing all lines
as Not Eligible will mean that the user must select a specific line every time a call is made.
A line that has Full Permission can be set as Eligible, which means it can be used by simply
picking up the receiver, or Not Eligible, which means the line button will have to be pressed
first to use that line. If lines that are not assigned to buttons on the telephone are set as Eligible
for AUTOMATIC LINE SELECTION, the setting is ignored. (Installed setting is Eligible.)
■
LINE RINGING OPTIONS. You can assign to any line (with Full or Answer Only Permission)
of any telephone one of the following ringing options for incoming calls.
No Ring.
The line does not ring for incoming calls.
Normal Ring. The line rings normally. (Installed setting).
Abbreviated Ring.
The line rings for 12 seconds only.
Delayed Ring.
The line does not start ringing until 12 seconds after the call comes in.
■
NIGHT RINGING OPTIONS. You can assign to each telephone one of the following options.
The options you assign are in effect when Night Service (see User Manual) is on.
Normal Ring.
When Night Service is on, the telephone will disregard customized LINE
RINGING OPTIONS and ring normally for all permitted lines.
Programmed Ring.
The telephone will ring the same whether Night Service is on or off.
(Installed Setting).
■
OUTSIDE SERVICE.
You can assign an outside service to each telephone in the system. The
outside service determines the types of outside calls that may be made from that telephone.
The three choices are the following:
Outward Restricted. No outside calls may be placed at that telephone except 911 and
unrestricted system SpeedCall numbers. — See page 22.
Unrestricted. Calls may be placed at that telephone with no restriction. (Installed setting).
Toll Restricted. No toll calls may be placed at that telephone except 911 and unrestricted
System SpeedCall numbers. — See page 22.
