Busy Indication; Bloc Dialing - Avaya 1608 User Manual

2.6 Busy Indication

By default the telephone system does not provide any indication to you if the internal user you call is already on a
call or set to do not disturb. Instead the call either just rings or goes to voicemail.
However, your system administrator can enable busy indication for selected users or for the whole system. When
this is enabled, calling those users displays "Do Not Disturb" or "On Another Call" on your phone if not diverted
to voicemail.
If you need status indication for a user without needing to make a call, you can add a
phone.
2.7 En-Bloc Dialing
By default, when you start dialing a number on your phone, the phone immediately connects to the telephone
system and starts passing the digits you dial to the phone system. You cannot correct the digits you have already
dialed except by ending the call and starting again. Also if you pause dialing for too long the phone system may
think that you have finished dialing and will attempt to connect the call using only the digits you have completed
dialing so far.
En-bloc dialing allows you to compose and edit the number to dial on your phone's display before it is sent to the
phone system to be dialed.
Through the phone's menus you can select whether you want to use traditional or en-bloc dialing when making
calls. Your chosen setting is then applied whenever you are using a phone that supports en-bloc dialing.
