Operation with a parent PABX
You can connect the Commander Connect to a parent PABX via its Line interfaces.
You can program any of the eleven Outgoing Groups to work with a parent PABX. When
programming the Outgoing Groups as PABX groups, PABX access digits and the number of
digits in a PABX Station number are entered. The PABX access digits are the digits that must
be dialled to select an exchange Line in the parent PABX. (You can have a maximum of two
PABX access digits).
If you wish to make an external call via the parent PABX, you must select a line connected to the
PABX, placing the access digit(s) before the external number you require. If you wish to make a
call to a parent PABX Station, you must select a Line connected to the PABX and dial the
Station number without any access digit(s).
Note:
The system will take the access digits into account in deciding whether the Station is
restricted from making the call according to its Class of Service, that is, a Station prevented from
making external calls will be also prevented from making external calls through the parent
PABX.
Both external numbers and PABX Station numbers may be entered into Personal and System
Speed Dial lists. When a speed dial number is selected for dialling, the system checks whether
the number is a PABX Station by checking the number of digits against the programmed Station
number length. If it is a PABX Station the system selects a PABX Group and if a Line is free
dials the digits. If the selected number is an external number, the system attempts to select an
exchange Line. If one is available, it dials the number without inserting the access digits. If an
exchange Line is not available a free PABX Line is selected and the access digits are
automatically inserted.
If Redial is activated the number is redialled on the same group on which the original call was
made.
