DXP Plus General Description

Block Programming

A programmer can assign the programmed features of a particular line or station, to other lines or stations.
He or she can also assign a particular arrangement of button functions (mapped buttons) of one telephone
to a quantity of other telephones. This feature eliminates the need to individually program every station
class of service, line and/or button function.

Busy Button Inquiry

This feature provides the user with a means to identify both a station that is busy on a line and the line the
station is busy on as well. The system presents the identified line or station information on the user's
telephone display for 10 seconds after he or she requests that information. If the system installer has not
given the user's telephone this feature, the system presents busy information to the display without
identifying the line or station involved.

Flexibility, and Square / Non Square Configuration.

Button Query

The button query feature allows users to display the function of programmable buttons on LCD
telephones.

Call Announce With Handsfree Answer-back
The internal speaker at each full–featured multiline telephone provides call-announce capability over the
personal intercom number. Users can call announce between all telephone types except between an
analog monitor telephone and digital telephones. When a user makes a call-announce intercom call to the
personal intercom number of another telephone, the user of that telephone can make a handsfree response
to the call. If the personal intercom number is forwarded or is in a hunt group, the intercom call will
appear as a tone signaled intercom call at the telephone to which the calls are forwarded. A tone burst,
programmable by the installer, precedes the call announce.
Call Announce Beeps (Call Announce Tone Bursts)
Installers can set the number of call announce tone bursts for each station in the system to be a value of
from one to five .
Call Costing And Station Message Detail Accounting Reports
The system provides built-in, estimated costing of all calls. It also provides station message detail
accounting (SMDA) reports of all calls, and it displays call costs on LCD speakerphones. Call costing, in
general, provides a means of establishing costs to be applied to outside calls made from system
telephones. Call costing computes charges for a call after it is completed but does not restrict dialing as
toll restriction does. Call costs are based on a two-tier time rate and include a line surcharge cost. The
programmer can make allowances for call set-up and minimum call duration using the answer time and
dial time parameters. The system determines call costing through the use of the toll restriction and
automatic route selection (ARS) features; however, these features need not be active for costing to work.
Call costing is based on programmed estimates that best fit the particular area of the country the system is
installed in.
