6.9 Establishing Warning Time for Limited Call Lengths
You can limit an extension to calls that fall within a specific programmed time. You can set the DX-80 to warn an
extension that the time has expired, thereby advising the user to disconnect. In this mode, the system plays a
warning tone repeatedly once the timer has expired. You could use this feature, for example, in a lobby or retail
environment where lengthy calls are discouraged.
You can also program the call limiter with greater call control. In this mode, the system automatically disconnects
the call moments after playing the warning tone. You can set the CO line call limiter for extensions on a per-
extension basis and according to call type (outgoing or incoming or both).
Note : You are only programming the
warning time here. To control when the system disconnects calls that have exceeded the limit you set, you have to
program the individual extensions.
For further details about setting call control for individual extensions, see
Section 10.11, Setting up Warning Tones, Incoming Call Drops, Outgoing Call Drops .
Extension users can make additional calls after the system plays the warning tones or drops the call, therefore This
feature is NOT RECOMMENDED as a toll saver option. Use this feature only for specific applications.
Note :
For details on programming toll restrictions, see Section 7, Programming Toll Restrictions.
