5.13 Drop Port
The so-called “drop port” serves to accept calls that cannot be sent to any certain
port. Port 11 is intended for this by default. Viewed technically, this process is
nothing more than a call forwarding that is necessary for the following cases:
•
On point-to-point and point-to-multipoint line
: The called telephone num-
ber belongs to your ISDN line – but has not been assigned to one of the ports.
All incoming calls to this number are transferred
immediately
to the drop
port.
•
On
point-to-point line,
calls can also be accepted when the caller has not di-
aled the call number completely. When, for example, a call couldn’t be passed
on because of a missing extension number within a preset time (e.g. set at 15
seconds) it is also forwarded to the drop port.
Set drop port:
Υ
Lift the receiver. You hear the dial tone.
∗
Press the star key.
47
Enter the digits 47.
Ν
Select the port to which calls should be “dropped.”
Ν
Only for point-to-point line
: Set additionally after how many sec-
onds calls with incomplete call numbers should be dropped. The
time has to be less than 21 seconds because the caller otherwise
receives a busy signal.
#
Press the pound key. Listen for the confirmation tone.
∆
Put the receiver down.
Example:
Port 13 is set as drop port. The example applies to point-to-
multipoint as well as point-to-point lines.

Example:
For your point-to-point line, port 13 should be used as drop port.
You set a waiting time of 15 sec. for the dialing to be actually
ended (e.g. still waiting for transmission of the extension num-
ber). If the call number is not completed within 15 sec. port 13
will ring.
