Programming Operations Guide
Priority call N or Y Defines whether this telephone can interrupt calls or override Do Not Disturb
at another telephone.
Auto hold Y or N This setting determines if the system will automatically put an active call on
hold if you answer or initiate another call.
If you choose No, the system drops the active call, unless you press the
HOLD button first, if you answer a call or initiate another call.
Default is Yes.
The user can change the Auto Hold setting at their telephones by pressing
FEATURE 73.
SWCA note: Ensure this setting is set to Yes for any telephones with
configured System-wide call appearance (SWCA) keys. Refer to “Configuring
system-wide call appearance groups” on page 470 .
Aux ringer N or Y Determine whether an auxiliary ringer (if installed) rings for incoming calls at
this telephone.
Digital Doorphone note: Before you install the hardware, ensure this is set to
N in the DN record you want to use for the doorphone.
Allow redirect N or Y Define whether this telephone will allow assigned lines to be redirected.
This must be set to Yes to allow call forwarding outside the network (external
call forward), including calls to a centralized voice mail system over a private
network. Refer to
“Line redirection notes” on page 420 .
Redirect ring Y or N Define whether the telephone rings briefly when a call on one of its lines is
redirected by the Line Redirection feature (
FEATURE 84 ).
Keep DN alive N or Y This feature is only relevant to the 20XX IP telephones.
Y (yes) allows the system to retain an IP telephone DN record even if the IP
set becomes disconnected. This occurs as long as the IP set has completed
the bootup process. This allows DN-specific features like Call Forward No
Answer and Call Forward on Busy to continue to function even if the
telephone is disconnected.
WARNING : If the system is reset, and the IP telephone is disconnected, the
feature remains inactive until the telephone is reconnected.
Note: A delay of about 40 seconds occurs between when the IP telephone is
disconnected and when Keep DN alive becomes active. During this period,
incoming calls get a busy signal or are rerouted to the prime set, depending
on system programming. The delay also occurs when the IP telephone is
reconnected to the system.
N (No) allows the DN record to become inactive if the IP telephone is
disconnected, which produces a
Not in Service prompt if any of the
special features, such as Call Forward, are invoked.
Receive short tones N or Y Analog equipment that is connected to the system with an internal or external
analog terminal adapter (ATA2), responds only to tone dialing signals.
If you have analog equipment connected to an extension, set to Yes .
Otherwise, leave Receive short tones set to No .
SM Supervision N or Y On two-line display telephones only, you can choose whether the telephone
can be used to allow the Silent Monitor feature (*550). Select Y (yes) to allow
this feature on this telephone.
Refer to “Monitoring Hunt groups” on page 589 for information about setting
up the system settings for the Silent Monitor feature, including determining
how many telephones can be allowed to use this feature.
