LACING A CALL
5.1
Internal Calls
You can place calls to other stations in the system over the
Intercom. The call will ring, or for an
ICM Voice Announce
call,
a splash tone will be heard. Ring or Voice Announce is normally
determined by settings at the called station but you may change
this by dialing ‗#‘ after placing the call. By changing the mode, a
Voice Announce call will ring or a ringing ICM call will allow
Voice Announce (toggle).
You can assign a Flex button for
Direct Station Selection/Busy
Lamp Field (DSS/BLF)
. The
DSS
/
BLF
button allows you to call
another station with the single touch of a button. The button
LED
will display the other station‘s status (ON=busy, OFF=idle).
When you go off-hook, you may connect to another station or
system resource automatically. This
Prime Line Preference
may be immediate or delayed allowing you to take other actions
during the delay. Otherwise, you may press another Flex button
before going off-hook to override Prime Line Preference.
If you go off-hook and take no action, Intercom dial-tone will
time-out, and after the
Howler tone
is received, your phone will
be placed out-of-service in
Intercom Lock-Out
; you then must
hang-up to return the phone to an idle state.
5.1.1
Using Camp-On when calling a busy station
If the called party is busy, you may activate
Camp-On
,
Callback
or
Voice Over
at the station.
Camp-On
allows you to wait off-
hook for the called station to answer.
Callback
allows you to
hang-up, and when the busy station returns to an idle state, the
system will call your Station; after you answer the callback, the
system will call the previously busy station.
To place an Intercom call:
Lift the handset,
Dial the Intercom number of the desired station,
When the call is answered or the Splash tone is heard, begin
speaking with the called party.
