Programming Operations Guide
• Page Time out is defined under Timers (Services, Telephony Services, General
Settings). This setting controls how long a Page Announcement can last.
• Page zone defines An area in the office that receives internal page announcements that
other areas of the office do not hear. This feature is defined for each telephone under
Capabilities. (Services, Telephony Services, System DNs)
• Auto hold for incoming page: When enabled, this feature puts current calls on hold for
the duration of the page announcement. Note: If a call was muted before it was put on
hold, it will not necessarily remain muted when it is released after the page
announcement.
PAP
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a procedure used by PPP servers to validate a
connection request. PAP works as follows:
1 After the link is established, the requestor sends a password and an ID to the
server.
2 The server either validates the request and sends back an acknowledgement,
terminates the connection, or offers the requestor another chance.
Passwords are sent without security and the originator can make repeated attempts to gain
access. For these reasons, a server that supports CHAP will offer to use that protocol
before using PAP.

Park timeout
The time before an unanswered parked call returns to the telephone that parked it. Set this

PBX system
A PBX is a small telephone system connected to a central office (CO), but which is owned
and operated privately. An example of a PBX system is the Meridian 1 system. The PBX
can connect directly to telephones or pass lines on to another private telephone system,
such as a Business Communications Manager.
This is a telephone configuration used by larger offices which have more telephones than
incoming lines. The incoming lines are assigned to a pool, and each telephone is given
access to the pool. On the receptionist telephone, the lines are assigned individually to
indicator buttons.
