Telephone dialing
DCP telephone dialing allows telephone users to originate and control data calls from a telephone.
Users can set up a call using any unrestricted telephone and then transfer the call to a data endpoint.
The primary way to make data calls is with multiappearance telephone data-extension buttons. Assign
any administrable feature button as a data-extension button. The data-extension button provides
one-touch access to a data module. The number of assigned data-extension buttons per telephone is not
limited.
The following options, either alone or combined, permit flexibility in making data calls from a telephone.
•
One-Button Transfer to Data
A user can transfer a call to the associated data module by pressing the data-extension button after
the endpoint answers.
•
Return-to-Voice
A user can change the connection from data to voice. The user presses the data-extension button
associated with the busy data module. If the user hangs up, the call disconnects. Return of a data
call to the telephone implies that the same data call is continued in the voice mode, or transferred
to point.
The Return-to-Voice feature is denied for analog adjuncts.
•
Data Call Preindication
A user, before dialing a data endpoint, can reserve the associated data module by pressing the
data-extension button. This ensures that a conversion resource, if needed, and the data module are
reserved for the call. Avaya recommends the use of Data Call Preindication before 1-button
transfer to data for data calls that use toll-network facilities. Data Call Preindication is in effect
until the associated data-extension button is pressed again for a 1-button transfer; there is no
time-out.
