9 - OTHER SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
The Horizon system has several other functions that you may need to use in special circumstances.
These are accessed from the programming mode and are activated by entering a 2-digit code when the menu
prompt appears on the screen.
ACTIVATING "PBX" DIALING
If a Horizon system with visitor entry capability is connected to a PBX telephone system, you can direct
the system to dial a digit (which you specify) and then pause briefly (so the PBX can give the system an
outside line) before dialing a 7-digit or longer telephone number that you program into the system. Any
telephone number that is less than 7 digits is assumed to be an internal extension on the PBX and is dialed
without the leading digit and pause.
To enable PBX dialing (or disable it if it has been enabled earlier), enter "09" and the "ENTER" button
when the menu prompt is shown. The system will then give you a list of options and will ask you for the option
number you want. Enter number "2" at this prompt. The system will then ask you to either enter a "1" (to
enable the PBX option) or a "0" (to disable the PBX option). If you enter a "1", the system will then ask you for
the number to dial before the telephone number. Enter this number (a "9" for most PBX systems) and press
the "ENTER" key. If you enter a "0", you will disable the PBX option on this system.
ENABLING/DISABLING THE PREFIX “1” FEATURE
When you are entering a directory code and the telephone number is exactly 10 digits in length, the
Horizon system will automatically dial a leading “1” before the 10 digits. This feature is called the Prefix “1”
feature. The factory default setting for this feature is “Enabled”.
If you do not want the system to automatically dial a leading “1” on a 10-digit telephone number, you
will need to disable the Prefix “1” feature. To disable this feature, enter “09” and the “ENTER” button when the
menu prompt is shown. When the Area 9 menu prompt appears, enter “3” for “Enable Prefix 1”. The system
will then ask you to either enter a “1” (to enable the Prefix 1 option) or a “0” (to disable the Prefix 1 option).
Enter the appropriate number and press the “ENTER” button.
ENABLING/DISABLING
NEW ANSWER
This feature is set to “Yes” by the factory and does not need to be changed unless a version of SPS
older than version 6460 is in use. Older versions of SPS do not support the “New Answer” method and
“Enable New Answer” should be set to “0” (zero) for No.
“Enable New Answer” must be set to “Yes” when there are multiple units sharing a phone line. When
multiple units share a phone line, each unit must have a unique access code and the “Rings Before Answer”
setting must be the same.
To enable this feature, enter “09” and the “ENTER” button when the menu prompt is shown. When the
Area 9 menu prompt appears, enter “4” for “Enable New Answer”. The system will then ask you to either enter
a “1” (to enable the New Answer) or a “0” (to disable the New Answer). Enter the appropriate number and
press the “ENTER” button.
RE-SORTING A DIRECTORY
If the directory in a system which has visitor entry capability should get scrambled for some reason,
you may direct that system to "re-sort" it and put it back in the correct alphabetical order. At the menu prompt,
enter the number "73" and the "ENTER" button. The system will then display a "PLEASE WAIT" message.
When the next prompt appears on the screen, the re-sort is completed.
