Live Call Screening (LCS)
*1
Description
This is one of the DPT Integration features.
Allows the PT user to monitor his voice mailbox while a caller is leaving a message in it. The
extension user can intercept the recording in order to talk with the caller. The voice mailbox
can be monitored in one of the following two ways:
Hands-Free Mode
When a caller starts to record a message, the caller's voice is heard through the built-in speaker
of a PT automatically; the extension user can talk to the caller by going off-hook.
Private Mode
When a caller starts to record a message, a notification tone is emitted by the DPT. The
extension user can monitor the caller's voice by going off-hook.
Notification Tone
To intercept the call in either Hands-Free or Private mode, press the LCS button.
Conditions
• Call Waiting
If the extension user is busy on a call when a caller begins to leave a message, a call waiting
tone is sent (if programmed beforehand). The extension user can put the current call on hold
before accessing LCS.
• LCS button / LCS Cancel button
LCS / LCS Cancel button can be assigned to a flexible (CO, DSS) button by Station, User
or System Programming.
• LCS Password Clear
To prevent unauthorized monitoring, a 3-digit password must be set by the extension user.
If the extension user forgets his password, it can be cleared by the Manager or an Operator.
• Recording mode
Each extension can be programmed to either stop or continue recording the conversation
after intercepting the recording in order to talk with the caller.
• LCS by an SLT (only in Private Mode)
A single line telephone, which is connected with a Proprietary Telephone in parallel, can
also be used to monitor a recording message. Be sure that Live Call Screening has been
activated on the connected proprietary telephone.
This feature is useful when you are out with a portable handset of a cordless telephone
(SLT). The handset sounds an alert tone to let you know that a message is being recorded.
To intercept the call, flash the switchhook.
