Direct Extension Dial Lines (#205) - AT&T PARTNER II Release 3.1 Programming And Use Instructions

Direct Extension Dial Lines (#205)

Description
This System Programming procedure identifies the lines on which incoming calls
are to be answered for Direct Extension Dial (DXD).
Related Features
You must program a button on the system display phone at extension 10 to
turn Direct Extension Dial on and off. Use Direct Extension Dial Button
(#113) to program the button.
Calls that ring on lines programmed with Direct Extension Dial are picked up
after 2 rings, as a default. To change this number, use Direct Extension
Dial Delay (#112).
You must use Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback to record a greeting
(up to 20 seconds) that callers hear when the system answers an incoming
call.
Considerations
All lines programmed with Direct Extension Dial should be assigned to
extension 10 or its transfer return extension.
If a caller enters an invalid extension number or does not enter one at all, the
call is transferred to the receptionist at extension 10 or to the designated
transfer return extension.
To intercept a call while the message is playing—the light for the call is
steady red—press the line button and lift the handset. The message stops
playing when the call is retrieved.
