Ring Down/Hot Line/Off-Hook Preference

Description
The Off-Hook Preference feature lets a key station user automatically have a flex button
selected when going off-hook or when pressing the ON/OFF button. An SLT user may have a
particular CO line or a CO line group selected automatically when going off-hook. This may
be established in programming so that key station users can select and/or change their
off-hook preference through the use of a dial code [691]+BB (01-24). Dialing [691]+00
disables Off-Hook Preference. This user programmable preference may be allowed or denied
in programming.
Auto Feature Access -- In addition to Auto Line Access, digital telephones have the ability to
have their off-hook preference select a DSS or feature button upon going off-hook or
pressing the ON/OFF button.
Auto Line Access -- Each station, key or SLT, may have their phone programmed to access a
particular CO Line (such as a private line or a line from a group of CO lines) upon going
off-hook. This is useful in Centrex or PBX applications when station users have dedicated
lines. Outside line dial tone is received just by going off-hook, without the need to dial an
access code.
Hot Line/Ring Down -- Each station, key or SLT, may be programmed to immediately call or
ring down a particular station or outside number upon going off hook. This is done by
programming the station's Off-Hook Preference to activate a DSS or Speed Dial feature key.
This feature can be overridden if the station user selects a CO line first when going off-hook.
Intercom Access -- When Off-hook Preference is enabled, at a key station, that station may
still obtain intercom dial tone for accessing internal stations or other system features. This is
done either by pressing a DSS button or dialing their own intercom station number prior to
going off-hook.
User Programmable Preference -- Based on a station programmable option, digital
telephones may be given the ability to enable, disable, or change their Off-hook Preference
by dialing a code. This option can be denied in station programming on a per key station
basis.
Use Flash 50 programming when you want to modify a range of stations' attributes using
fixed station numbers.
Use Flash 51 programming to modify a single station's attributes using a flexible station
number.
