Call Waiting
Call waiting does not work with data calls. The call appears to wait but
does not return to the extension when it becomes available. This feature
should be disabled at data extensions.
Callback
Automatic Callback should be disabled for digital data extensions.
Camp-On
Data and video calls cannot be camped on.
Conference
Conference does not function with data calls.
Coverage
individual Coverage is not recommended for 2B data calls. Because a
coverage receiver can have only one Cover button for each coverage
sender, covered 2B data calls are received only as 1B data calls at the
coverage receiver. The second call also continues to ring at the coverage
sender.
Coverage delays do not apply to data calls. Calls ring immediately.
Directories
Digital communications devices cannot make use of Extension, Personal,
or System Directories.
Do Not Disturb
Digital communications devices can activate Do Not Disturb by dialing the
virtual button number (for example
#01
) of the Do Not Disturb button.
Forward and
Follow Me
Digital communications devices can forward calls by dialing the
associated feature code. Inside calls can be answered either at the
forwarding device or the destination terminal adapter. Outside calls,
however, are only answered by the forwarding device.
Hold
Data calls cannot be put on hold.
Messaging
Messaging features are not available for data extensions.
Multi-Function
Module
An MFM cannot be used with a digital communications device.
Night Service
If a digital communications device is a member of the Night Service
group, voice calls to Night Service group do not ring at these extensions.
Data or video calls
do
ring, and 2B data calls can be established.
However, if there are two or more 2B data extensions in the system
assigned to Night Service groups, 2B data calls can be answered at the
wrong extension during Night Service.
Paging
Digital communications devices can be assigned to a paging group.
However, they should not be: they are not alerted if there is a call to a
paging group, and they cannot make group pages.
Park
Data calls cannot be parked.
Personal Lines
Personal lines can be assigned to digital communications devices. It is
best for these extensions to have exclusive use of their own personal
lines; if they do not, the system manager should ensure that enough idle
lines are available, particularly for 2B data calls.
Pickup
A digital communications device can pick up a data call.
