What the Features Do
Here are brief descriptions of 31 features, including what each one does and how you
might want to use it. The first 24 are voice features and the final 7 are display
features.
Note:
You will automatically have the following features on your voice terminal:
Conference, Drop, Hold, Message, Mute, the Select Button, Select Ring, Self-Test,
and Transfer voice features and Normal mode among the display features. You may
also be able to use the Speakerphone (and Reset Speakerphone) or the Speaker
feature. Check with your System Manager to see what other features you can use
with the DEFINITY Generic 1 or the System 75 switch.
Voice Features
Abbreviated Dialing (AD)
Allows you to store selected phone numbers for quick
and easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial phone number, an
extension number, or a trunk or feature code. Abbreviated Dialing offers 4 possible
types of lists—personal, group, system, and enhanced—and you can be assigned a total
of 3 out of the 4 lists. Numbers on a personal list are programmable by you; numbers
on all other lists are programmable only by the System Manager. Use as a timesaver
for dialing frequently called, lengthy, or emergency numbers.
Automatic Callback
Sends you a special 3-burst ring indicating that a previously
busy or unanswered extension is now available. Use to avoid constant redialing when
you wish to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the phone or in and out of
the office.
Note:
Can be used only for extensions, not outside numbers.
Bridging
Permits you to answer or join in calls to someone else’s extension by
pressing a bridged appearance button on your voice terminal. This button can be any
call appearance button labeled with another user’s primary extension number, as
assigned to you by your System Manager. Use to assist in handling calls for a
designated co-worker.
Call Coverage
Provides automatic redirection of certain calls to your voice terminal
for answering. (Your System Manager determines which calls will be sent to you.)
Use to answer calls for other extensions for whom you provide coverage.
Note:
If you have Go to Cover, you (the calling party) can send internal calls directly
to coverage any time during the call attempt (the person you call must be in a call
coverage group).
Call Forwarding All Calls
Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension
or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you will be away from
your voice terminal and you want your calls to be forwarded to a phone number of
your choice.
