Telephone and Extension Features

Microphone Operation

This section contains instructions to disable the microphones on MLX telephones
when they are used in areas where use of the speakerphone is disruptive.
Extensions that interact with a CTI-capable program on a computer (extensions
marked Computer Telephony Integrated Client PC on forms 4b, 4d, 4h, or 4j)
should not have their microphones disabled.
NOTE:
The microphones on analog multiline telephones cannot be disabled.
Planning Form Instructions
Under the Microphone heading on Form 6b, do one of the following:
To allow speakerphone use (factory setting), check Enable.
To prevent speakerphone use, check Disable.

Remote Call Forwarding

This section contains instructions to allow users to forward calls to outside
numbers and to allow users to "screen" their calls through use of the Forwarding
Delay option. With the Forwarding Delay option activated, incoming calls ring at
the called extension a specified number of times (from 1 to 9 rings) before the call
is forwarded.
!
SECURITY ALERT:
Remote Call Forwarding can only be used securely when used on
ground-start line/trunks or loop-start lines/trunks with "reliable disconnect"
(sometimes referred to as forward disconnect or disconnect supervision).
Toll fraud can occur when loop-start lines/trunks are used with unreliable
disconnect. If the calling party stays on the line after the called party hangs
up, the central office will return a dial tone at the conclusion of the call,
enabling the caller to place another call as if it were being placed from your
company.
Remote Call Forwarding and the Forwarding Delay option are programmed for
each extension. Assign these features to selected extensions, for example, for
people who often work away from the office. Remote Call Forwarding cannot be
assigned to QCCs. If there is a personal line assigned to a telephone, you can
specify that calls on that line be forwarded to an outside number if the extension is
the principal user of the personal line.
Ensure that the number of rings for Remote Call Forwarding is less than the
Coverage Delay or the call will not forward.
