Centrex Operation
default line assignments on the communications system are not affected. Digital
facilities are not supported in Behind Switch mode.
In Behind Switch mode, during periods of high telephone traffic, users may
experience delays in obtaining dial tone from the Centrex system. This could
cause misdialing when using System or Personal Speed Dial.
Calls to calling groups in a system set up in Behind Switch mode follow the
communications system ring pattern, not the central office ring pattern.
