System Consoles

To make programming easier, use this section to summarize information about the
consoles in the system.
Planning Form Instructions
Under the System Consoles heading, check the type or types of consoles:
For Queued Call Consoles, check the QCC or QCCs box and enter the
extension numbers (if known).
For Direct-Line Consoles, check the DCL or DLCs box and enter the
extension numbers (if known).

Second Dial Tone Timer

In some instances, after dialing a star code, the central office responds with a
second dial tone as a prompt to enter additional digits. Once a star code is
accepted by the communications system, the Second Dial Tone Timer is activated
and set to the programmed value. If dialing is attempted before the Second Dial
Tone Timer expires, the call is treated as though it had violated calling restrictions
and is not completed.
!
SECURITY ALERT:
If the Second Dial Tone Timer is set to 0 ms and a caller begins dialing
additional digits before the second dial tone, system restrictions may be
bypassed and a restricted call may be routed. Careful administration of the
Second Dial Tone Timer prevents the caller from bypassing call restrictions
in this manner.
Marked System Speed Dial entries (entries that do not display) are not affected by
the Second Dial Tone Timer setting. If the Central Office does not immediately
supply dial tone when a star code is entered and a Marked System Speed Dial
entry uses star codes, then the appropriate number of pauses (each 1.5 seconds)
must be programmed in the entry following each star code.
Planning Form Instructions
Under the Second Dial Tone Timer heading, enter the desired value. Valid entries
are 0–5000 ms, in increments of 200 ms. The factory setting is 0.

Applications

Several call-handling and management applications can be used with the system,
including voice mail and messaging; call accounting and reporting; and call
management, distribution, and reporting. This section contains instructions for
noting those applications that will be used with this system.
