Commander Connect Owners Manual

PABX Mode
The Commander Connect can be set, through system programming, to operate in either PABX
or Key System Mode of Operation. The switch works in Key System Mode by default.
When PABX Mode of Operation is selected a number of changes are made to the operation of
the system.
Line appearances on Keystation keys
Line keys programmed on the phone are not associated with particular lines. When a line key is
selected on a phone the line light is lit only on the phone selecting the line.
Making external calls when in PABX mode
External calls can be made:
•
By dialling the line access digit 0 (760-769) or selecting a speed dial or redial number: If the
Keystation is programmed with a Line Key or Keys, the light on the first available line key is lit
•
By selecting an available Line Key: If a free line or B channel is available an external dial
tone is returned and the light associated with the Line Key is lit. If no line or B channel is
available a busy tone is returned and the Line Key light is not lit. Instead, the display
indicates that no line is available.
Incoming Calls In PABX mode of Operation
Incoming calls made to ring Groups, Stations, Auto Attendant, Courtesy Service or Answering
Machine:
This programming is the same for both PABX and Key system Modes of Operation.
When a call is presented to a Keystation the phone is called and the light on the first available
Line Key on the Keystation flashes at the Ringing Rate.
If the call is presented to an individual phone the key associated with the first available Line key
on the phone flashes at the Ringing rate. No Line key on any other Keystation is lit.
If the call is presented to multiple Keystations in a Ring Group, the line key light is lit on all the
Keystations in the group with an available Line Key. No other Line key on any other Keystation is
lit.
If the call is presented to a Keystation with no available Line Key the call rings the phone without
lighting any Line Key.
Call answered
When a call is answered the light associated with the line Key on the answering phone is lit
steadily. The light associated with the call on all other Keystations, if the call was presented to a
group, is extinguished. An answered call lights up on the Keystation that answered the call.
Call Placed on Hold
If a Keystation places a call on hold the light associated with the Line on the Keystation flashes
at the Hold Rate. No other Line Key on any other Keystation is lit.
The Option to ‘Return to Call’ is given on the Keystation menu. The phone returns to idle.
To put a call on hold from a Standard Phone press the recall button (R) on the phone and go
back on hook. To retrieve the call on hold, lift the Handset and dial the code 719.
