Aec Disconnect; Attendant Groups - Panasonic DBS576 Technical Manual

Chapter 3. System Features

AEC Disconnect

Description
This feature allows the System to send a disconnect signal of 1 second to an analog device indicating
that the calling party has hung up (terminated the call). This feature is useful with a Third-party Voice
Mail or an Answering Machine. By default this feature is disabled.
Hardware Requirements
• AEC port
Related Programming
• FF3-0: Loop Disconnect Signal
Considerations
• The 1 second time duration of the disconnect signal is fixed. (It cannot be changed.)

Attendant Groups

Description
An attendant phone is often used as a central answering point for other extensions. In addition,
attendant phones frequently have special capabilities for monitoring and programming extensions.
You can reach the assigned attendant group by dialing the feature access code for Attendant Calls
(usually 0). If an attendant phone is available but does not answer within a set time, the call will move
to the next available attendant phone. If all members of the attendant group are busy for a specified
time, the call can be forwarded to other extensions or another hunt group. The system allows up to 20
extensions to be included in an attendant group.
Hardware Requirements
• N/A
Related Programming
• FF5-0-01: Attendant Hunt Pilot Number
• FF5-0-02: Day 1 Attendant Hunting
• FF5-0-03: Day 2 Attendant Hunting
• FF5-0-03: Night Attendant Hunt
• FF2: Ring Type
Considerations
• The System allows one attendant group for each system mode (Day 1, Day 2, and Night).
• An attendant group can contain both real extensions and virtual extensions. If virtual, several
phones can be made to ring at the same time.
• Attendant groups can use only Pilot Terminal Hunt Group or Pilot Distributed Hunt Group. For
more information, see "Hunting Groups" on page 3-33.
