Release 4.0 Enhancements
■
Certified 2B-data video/data applications that connect to MLX
ports and use NI-1 BRI, PRI, or T1 Switched 56 network
interfaces to make outside connections.
NOTE:
The 008 MLX and 408 MLX modules must have firmware
vintage other than 29. An earlier or later vintage firmware is
supported.
■
The use of T1 facilities for digital data transmission of up to
56 kbps per T1 channel.
Equipment
New hardware includes two new modules. They are:
■
An 016 module supporting 16 tip/ring devices and four TTRs.
All 16 ports can ring simultaneously. The module’s ringing
frequency (default 20 Hz) can be changed through
programming to 25 Hz for those locations that require it.
■
An 800 NI-BRI module supporting high-speed data and video
transmission.
Maintenance Support
The R4.0 software includes a Provisioning Test tool that
technicians can use to verify the operational status of installed
NI-1 BRI lines.
User Features
Product Enhancements
The following enhancements are added:
■
Delay Call Forwarding. Each user can program a Forwarding
Delay setting for calls that are forwarded using Forward,
Remote Call Forwarding, or Follow Me. The forwarding delay is
the number of times a call rings at the forwarding extension
before the call is sent to the receiver. During the delay, the user
may screen calls by checking the displayed calling number (if it
is available). The delay can be set at 0 to 9 rings. The factory
setting for Forwarding Delay is 0 rings (no delay).
■
Voice Announce on the QCC. The QCC operator can use the
fifth Call Button to announce a call on another user’s
speakerphone if the destination telephone has a Voice
Announce-capable SA button available. QCCs cannot receive
Voice Announce calls; they are received as ringing calls. The
factory setting for the fifth Call button is Voice Announce
disabled.
■
Timebased option for overflow on Calling Group. If the
Overflow Threshold Time is set to a value between 1-900
seconds, calls that remain in the Calling Group Queue for the
set time are sent to the Overflow Receiver. This is in addition to
the number of calls that are in the Queue (previously, the only
way to send calls to the Overflow Receiver). If the Overflow
Threshold Time is set to 0, Overflow by time is off. The factory-
set time limit is 0 (overflow by time is off).
■
Downloadable Firmware for 016 T/R board and the NI-BRI
board. The PCMCIA technology introduced in Release 3.0
continues to support these two new boards in Release 4.0 for
installation and upgrade. A Release 3.0 or later processor is
required for PCMCIA technology.
