Extended Station Status

DESCRIPTION
If you must contact a person whose phone is busy or has Do Not Disturb
activated, you can use Executive Barge-In to bridge onto the call or override
Do Not Disturb.
This feature must be programmed onto a button.
You cannot use Executive Barge-In with Group Call Distribution groups.
If the target phone is in programming mode or has Privacy activated, you
will hear a busy signal if you try to use Executive Barge-In.
This feature cannot be used to bridge onto conference calls involving three
phones.
An Executive Barge-In call will not be directed to another phone if Call
Coverage, Call Forwarding, or Follow Me is in effect.
Do Not Disturb
When the Extended Station Status (ES Status) feature is activated, lights on
phones indicate operating states other than the standard call-handling modes
of available, busy, and Do Not Disturb. When ES Status is administered for
Hotel/Motel operation, the attendant can put any phone into ES Status 0, ES
Status 1, or ES Status 2. Typically, these states show whether or not a room
is ready for occupancy, but they can also be used for other purposes.
ES Status 0
Green light off
Checked out/needs cleaning
Occupied
With the attendant console in ES Status Display mode, the attendant can see
the status of each phone by checking the green lights next to the Auto
Intercom buttons. By pressing the appropriate buttons, the attendant can put
individual phones into ES Status 1 to indicate that the room is unoccupied
How to Use
1 Place a ringing intercom call.
2 If you hear a busy signal or the person doesn't
answer, press Barge-In.
If a call is in progress, the people hear a tone, then you
are bridged onto their call. If Do Not Disturb is in effect,
the phone rings anyway.
