Description

Privacy prevents other people from joining calls on shared personal lines or
Shared SA buttons. Privacy also prevents Barge-In from being used to join a call.
An extension user can turn on Privacy before or during a call, and it remains on for
all calls to and from that extension until the user turns it off.
When Privacy is turned on at an extension, anyone selecting a shared personal
line or Shared SA button on which a call is active hears silence instead of joining
the call. A person using Barge-In hears a busy signal when trying to join a call on
a telephone with Privacy turned on.
If Privacy is turned on while a call is in progress, it does not affect anyone who has
already joined the call but prevents other users from joining the call.
Privacy is automatically turned on for data calls at digital data workstations and
analog voice and modem data workstations connected to analog multiline
telephones. Privacy must be turned on manually at modem data-only workstations
and MLX voice and modem workstations connected to a Multi-Function Module.
Considerations and Constraints
3
6
If a multiline telephone user intends to use Privacy, he or she should program a
button for it, so that the green LED next to the button gives a visual reminder when
Privacy is turned on.
Single-line telephone users receive no indication of whether Privacy is on or off.
