• 7316E+KIM digital phones can have SWCA codes assigned to the KIM module buttons. The
telephone does not have to be designated as an eCAP for this functionality, since the SWCA
consignments are considered feature programming, not line programming.
How SWCA works in a call group
The SWCA feature displays call appearances on any telephones in the system which have buttons
with displays assigned for the same SWCA answer keys.
If you want to assign sets of SWCA assignments to specific call groups, the same buttons on each
telephone in a group should be programmed with the same SWCA feature code, or the same
feature codes assigned using the SWCA call groups fields, to allow for consistent service across
the group.
When calls park on a SWCA key, the call can be answered by anyone in the group.
• A solid indicator means that someone has control of the call.
• A blinking indicator means the call is parked and can be answered by anyone in the group.
The following two figures show how the indicators change, depending on the state of the call.
