The called party can manually transfer a call with either
touch-tone or pulse-dialing equipment connected through
the ATX-250. If you plan to manually transfer calls with a
pulse-dialing telephone, choose device selection codes
that do not use the
*
symbol.
WHEN TO ENTER A DEVICE SELECTION CODE
Device selection codes can be entered any time a call is
in process. A caller can start entering device selection
codes two seconds after hearing the first ring. This allows
calls to be processed while the system is unattended.
CORRECTING MISTAKES
If a mistake is made entering a device selection code, stop
entering tones for two seconds or longer, and re-enter the
correct device selection code. If you are dialing on a
pulse-dialing phone, wait five seconds or longer before re-
entering the code.

Often it is desirable for all calls after hours and on
weekends to go directly to the FAX machine or another
automatic telephone device. This is especially useful when
expanding a voice line with FAX and/or MODEM.
The primary application is for a company that has several
incoming lines with rollover. Only one number is dialed by
callers for voice traffic. If that line is busy, the telephone
company “rolls over” the call to a second incoming line. If
the second line is busy, the call “rolls over”, and so on until
the incoming call finds a line that is not busy.
The last line is published as the FAX number. Any
incoming FAX call will ring in on this line. During the day,
the last line is primarily used for voice, but may also be
used for both incoming and outgoing FAX. However, at
night, any call coming in on the last line is assumed to be
a FAX. This is because all other lines would have to be
busy for a voice call to come in on this line.
