General Features

Trunk Answer From Any Station (TAFAS)

Description
A tone signal is emitted from the external pager when an incoming CO call is received. Any
extension user can answer the call.
Conditions
• Hardware Requirements
A user-supplied external paging device is required to utilize this feature. Up to two external
pagers can be installed in the system.
• To answer an incoming CO call ringing at an external pager, dial the feature number and
TAFAS number 1 or 2. The feature number is the same as that used to answer Paging —
External.
• TAFAS can be used in the following cases:
a)
The FDN of an external pager is assigned as the Destination of a trunk line (DIL 1:1).
In this case, all incoming calls on the specified line will be signaled.
b)
A DISA caller dials the FDN of an external pager.
c)
The FDN of an external pager is assigned as the Intercept Routing destination. In this
case incoming calls redirected to the destination will be signaled.
d)
When a TIE call comes in.
• Confirmation Tone
A confirmation tone is sent to the extension user before being connected to the caller.
Eliminating the tone is programmable <Section 2.8 System Option, "9. Confirmation tone
for Call Pickup, Paging, Paging-Answer, TAFAS-Answer, Hold Retrieve and Call Park
Retrieve" in the Programming Guide>.
