5. Highlight Talk Abandon Time and press Enter to specify the amount of time you want the system to wait
when detecting a drop in loop current before abandoning an active call. Valid options are between 50 and
1500 milliseconds, in intervals of 50 (50, 100, 150, 200, etc.). The default is 600 milliseconds.
6. When you are done, press Esc to return to the Database Programming screen. The system prompts: “Exit
This Feature?”; press Y for yes.
7. The system prompts “Save Current Setting?” Press Y to save your changes.
8. The system then prompts “File Exists, Override?” Press Y to continue with the save operation.
9. Press Esc to return to the Database Programming menu.
10. When you have finished all programming changes, perform a Send operation to copy your new database to
the DX-80 switch system memory. For more details, see Section 2.1.4.4, F4 – Send .
6.33 Setting Hold Abandon Time Interval
Hold abandon occurs when the system experiences a drop of loop current for longer than a specifed amount of time
while the call is on hold; the system abandons the held call and drops the CO line. The DX-80 allows you to
control how long the system waits before abandoning the call.
Each CO line has a programming option that directs the system to monitor distant party disconnect. This is a useful
network feature in busy office environments where the inside party accidentally presses the Hold, ICM, or DSS
button while expecting the outside line conversation to be concluded. Any time the system detects a disconnect
signal from the Central Office, it releases an existing hold condition, freeing that line for future inbound/outbound
traffic.
• All types of hold (e.g., system hold, exclusive hold, and conference hold) are subject to the Hold Abandon
feature.
• Certain Central Offices do not provide loop supervision; these line should be programmed Call Abandon =
“N.”
• At default call abandon is enabled for all CO lines.
• If the outside (held party) disconnects, the system automatically releases the held CO line.
• The CO line must have the loop supervision interrupt signal from the local carrier for Hold Abandon to
function.
6.33.1 PROGRAMMING USING THE DET
Note: chg , bksp , save , one , always , del , and ack are interactive LCD button operations. Use the three buttons
below the LCD display to actuate the associated operation.
1. Enter Database Administration using the feature code Feature # * and then enter the DB Admin password .
2. Press show . The DB Item Select screen displays.
3. Enter Enter 03-42 and press save . This advances you to the Hold Abandon Time field. Specify the amount
of time you want the system to wait when detecting a drop in loop current before abandoning a call on hold.
Valid options are between 50 and 1500 milliseconds, in intervals of 50 (50, 100, 150, 200, etc.). The default
is 600 milliseconds.
4. Press the Hold button to return to the previous menu level,
Or, press the Volume button (up or down) to return to the DB Item Selection screen,
Or, exit programming.
