Glossary
Auto Attendant: If there is at least one 1080 telephone in your system, it
may be set up to be an auto attendant. The auto attendant is assigned to
pick up a ringing line automatically after a 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 you answer 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 which
may 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 you
are 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
a call is answered by the auto attendant, and a caller presses [9], a central
message, one not intended for any particular extension, is created.
Centrex service: This is a special subscriber service which may 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 which
may be available from your local telephone company. This service may 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 allows 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 will
display the last seven digits of the telephone number.
