Glossary
Auto Attendant: If there is at least one 1080 telephone in your system, it
may be set up as an auto attendant. The auto attendant is assigned to pick up
a ringing line automatically after the selected number of rings. It may also be
set up to record messages for your extension. The auto attendant plays the
selected auto attendant message and redirects the call if the caller enters an
extension number.
Caller ID: Caller identification is a subscriber service available from most local
telephone companies for a fee. When you subscribe to caller identification,
you can see who's calling before answering the phone if you and the caller
are both in areas offering caller ID service with compatible equipment.
Caller ID with call waiting: This is a single, combined subscriber service that
might be available from your local telephone company. If you subscribe to
this service, you can use your 1070 telephone to see who's calling even while
on another call (as long as your caller is in an area with caller ID service and
both telephone companies use compatible equipment).
Central message: If a 1080 telephone is assigned as an auto attendant,
when the auto attendant answers a call, and the caller presses [9], a central
message (not intended for any particular extension) is created.
Centrex service: This is a special subscriber service that might be available
from your local telephone company for a fee. This 1070 telephone can be
used with Centrex service.
COVM: Central Office Voice Mail is a subscriber voice message service that
might be available from your local telephone company. This service might be
called by another name in your area (e.g. call answering).
DND: When activated, the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature prevents interruptions
during a call.
DSL: Digital subscriber line (DSL) service is available from your telephone
company for a fee. It enables you to receive high-speed Internet through your
telephone line(s). Some special equipment, splitters and/or filters, are required
for the telephone and data service to work properly together.
DTAD: The Digital Telephone Answering Device is a sophisticated, tapeless
answering system built into the 1080 telephone. In some installations,
messages for your phone can be recorded on a 1080 in your system.
Home area code: This is the area code for your telephone number. Users
simply dial the seven digits of a telephone number to make a call within their
own area code and 11 digits outside of their area code. If this applies to you,
you should enter your own area code into the telephone as the home area
code. After setting, if you receive a call from within your home area code, the
screen displays the last seven digits of the telephone number.
