Chapt er 3 - Key Station Features, Opera tion, and Programming
Flash
Description
When Flash is accessed, the system will generate a timed open loop flash condition on
any CO line. Flash should be programmed on a feature button when the system is used
behind Centrex or PBX. If Call Waiting service is provided, you can use the Flash feature to
answer a second incoming call while connected to another outside party.
Operation
While on a CO line call:
1. Press [FEAT ].
2. Dial [3]. An Executive Telephone will display: (CO line loop is opened for the
programmed Flash Time
).
3. At an Executive Telephone, the display returns to the CO line connected display
following the flash time-out or 10 seconds later.
Programming
Flash is typically used on CO lines that are equipped with special features from the
telephone company such as Call Waiting. Flash may also be used on CO lines connected
to a PBX or to Centrex lines for call transfer on those lines. The Flash time must be set to
coincide with the required timing parameter of the connected line to operate correctly.
Typically a value from 600 to 800 msec is used for these features. A higher flash time may
be set to allow the user to invoke flash to restore dial tone on the connected CO line. This
setting is typically 1.5 sec (1500 msec).
Default
The DHS-L Flash Time is set for 0.7 sec (700 msec), and is variable from 0.1 sec (100 msec)
to 1.5 sec (1500 msec).
Conditions
†
The Flash code may be stored in any speed dial bin.
†
The Flash code may be stored in the Last Number Redial buffer. When you activate
redial, an Executive Telephone display will show a
/ (forward slash) to indicate the
Flash code.
†
The Flash time is programmable from 100ms to 1500ms in increments of 100ms
(1/10th of a second).
†
At an Executive Telephone, when the flash code is dialed a / (forward slash) will be
displayed temporarily and then the display will return to the previous message unless
other digits are dialed.
