•
Immediate: Stations assigned IMMEDIATE
timing ring as soon as the CO line rings into
the system.
•
Delay 1: If stations with IMMEDIATE timing
have not answered within 12 seconds, stations
assigned DELAY 1 timing begin ringing also.
•
Delay 2: If stations have not answered within
24 seconds, stations assigned DELAY 2 timing
begin ringing also.
Group Paging: Digital and electronic stations can be
divided into as many as four paging groups. Any
station user can make an announcement to one or
all of these groups via station set speakers.
Least Cost Routing (LCR): Eight different plans may
be designed to automatically place outgoing calls
over the most cost-efficient routes. Three different
LCR time schedules with their own priority sched-
ules can be set up for the business day. Stations
can be grouped into one of four LCR classes, each
with its own routing priority. Selected station users
may have priority use of a line, even when the
route with the lowest cost is not available. LCR is
compatible with Automatic Busy Redial (ABR) and
two-central office (CO) line Conference.
Live System Programming: Programming the sys-
tem from an on-site or off-site location does not
interrupt service. Service is only interrupted for
PCB additions or changes.
Memory Protection: If the power fails, the system
has an internal battery backup that protects data
and the customer's programmed configuration.
This information will be maintained within a power-
less system for at least six years.
Message Waiting: Any station and most voice mail
devices can leave a message waiting indication on
an LED of a digital or electronic station. The station
user can retrieve the message simply by accessing
the intercom and pressing the button associated
with the LED. A station can store up to four mes-
sage waiting indications.
Modem Pooling: This feature allows many
phone users to share modems. One or more stan-
dard, asynchronous type modem(s) that are com-
patible with industry-type "AT" commands can be
connected to Stand-alone Data Interface Units
(PDIU-DS) to form a modem pool. Users with digi-
tal telephones equipped with Data Interface Units
can connect to the modems to place or receive
external data calls. The modems can be connected
to Strata DK standard telephone circuits and share
external CO lines or they can be connected to dedi-
cated CO lines.
Music-on-hold: A customer-supplied radio tuner,
compact disc player, or other device can be used to
send music or announcements to parties on-hold
on central office (CO) or intercom lines.
Night Ringing Over External Page: Incoming central
office (CO) line or door phone calls can be pro-
grammed to ring over an external speaker when
the system is in the Night mode. The call can be
picked up from any telephone by entering a brief
access code. After-hours employees who are not
near a ringing telephone are more likely to answer
calls with this feature.
Night Ringing Over Selected Page Zones (DK16
only): Central office (CO) lines can be pro-
grammed to night ring over selected PIOU
page zones via customer-supplied paging equip-
ment. The lines can be divided into two groups
(Tenant 1 and Tenant 2) which can then be
assigned to night ring over the selected zones.
Non-blocking Talk Paths: All CO and intercom lines
can be used at the same time. The system can
operate at full capacity at all times.
Off-premises Station: Off-site standard telephones
can be part of the system, capable of accessing
STRATA DK8 or DK16 features. Each off-site sta-
tion requires a special line from the central office
(OL13A or equivalent).
Outgoing Call Restriction: Stations can be selec-
tively restricted from originating calls over any num-
ber of CO lines. The same stations can receive
incoming calls over the restricted CO lines.
Pooled CO Line Buttons: Several central office (CO)
lines can be pooled to appear under one digital or
electronic telephone CO line button. The lines can
tele-
be pooled in categories, e.g., WATS lines in one
pool, regular lines in another.
Power Failure Transfer: A dedicated standard tele-
phone can be connected to the DK8 Key Service
Unit or DK16 Base Key Service Unit to provide
