0000 hours. The unit plays the greeting depending on the DAY or the NIGHT or the HOLIDAY mode. A separate Night Operator extension may be programmed in the ATT 2000. If a caller dials the operator digit OR if the caller encounters a Busy or Invalid extension, the call is transferred to the DAY operator if the DAY mode is in operation or the NIGHT operator if it is the NIGHT /HOLIDAY mode.
To enter the Programming Mode: Call in to the ATT 2000 by dialing the extension to which it is connected. The unit picks up the call and starts playing the DAY / NIGHT / HOLIDAY greeting. At any time while the greeting is being played, press the `star' key ( ) to enter the Programming mode.

If it is very important to distinguish between a BUSY and INVALID extension, all invalid extensions must be programmed in the unit (Invalid leading digits and list of invalid extensions) Blind mode: In this mode, the unit does not check for ‘ring–no answer’ , ‘busy', and ‘re-order’...

104 1 # is a valid entry. However, the extensions programmed here must be valid extensions for the PBX. When a caller requests a transfer to the Operator extension, ATT 2000 dials the first extension in the above list. If the unit encounters a busy / no answer signal from the first extension, it tries the second and if even that is busy / no answer, it tries the third extension in the list.

Press # to terminate the entry. For example, the entry 105 1 # is valid. When a call is routed to the ATT 2000, it goes off hook and starts playing the DAY / NIGHT / HOLIDAY greeting normally. As soon as the Fax tone is detected, it stops playing the greeting and transfers to the Fax extension.
Page 18
If a blind mode of transfer has been selected, the unit dials the first extension and hangs up. Default value = 105 # The fax detection is disabled by default. Length of entry = maximum of 16 digits, including the # key The # key is used to terminate the entry sequence.

“Two zero Six (0.6 sec silence) Five Six Seven Eight Nine” The # at the end is not prompted as it is an indicator of the end of the string. Program # 107: Valid Extension List To enter the list of Valid Extensions - Under this program, the extensions are entered one by one.
Page 20
If that extension is not present in the list of Valid Extensions, you will hear the message “This entry is invalid” and the unit returns to the “Enter Program number” prompt. To delete all Valid extensions - Enter 108 00000. (5 zeros must be entered) Program # 208: This program also prompts the Valid list of extensions.

Program # 110: Delete Invalid Extension To delete one or all of the Invalid extensions - Enter the extension to be deleted after the program number. For example - 110 245 - deletes extension 245 from the list of Invalid extensions. If that extension is not present in the list of Invalid Extensions, you will hear the message “This entry is invalid”...

Program # 113: Night Operator Extensions The ATT 2000 transfers the caller to the extension programmed under this program number when the Night / Holiday mode is enabled and the unit is put into the Night / Holiday mode of operation and a caller needs to reach the operator (either because he got a busy extension or he dialed an invalid extension).

Program # 222: Listen to the current Pilot greeting. After the greeting is played back, the unit prompts with Enter program number indicating that it is ready to accept the next input. If a digit is input while the greeting is playing, the unit terminates the greeting playback and accepts the dialed digit as the first digit of the next program number.

Busy tone of the PBX or a special disconnect tone given by the exchange. The ATT 2000 can detect all of these tones and disconnects the call without transferring the call to the Operator if any one of these tones is present.
Page 30
Normally, the disconnect tone from the Exchange is available for 30 seconds after the caller disconnects. Hence, if the Main greeting is longer than 30 seconds and if the caller disconnects within the first few seconds, the unit may not be able to detect the disconnect tone. Hence, for proper detection of this tone, it is recommended that the Main greeting should be less than 25 seconds long.
Audiotex Menus The AUDIOTEX menus have additional voice recording space and additional program features to enable the user to have multiple voice menus. This feature is very useful in allowing the callers to get information for example—driving directions, rates and availability of rooms in hotels, announcements of Holiday specials, product pricing or features, company directory, product information etc.

“Six Zero five (0.6 sec silence) Zero “ Program # 506: Tone or Pulse dialing The ATT 2000 has the capability to transfer the calls by dialing in the Pulse mode. This feature may be useful when installing the ATT 2000 on the older PBX systems which only support the Pulse mode of dialing.
Page 43
Program # 507: Digit Dial Speed (Tone duration) The durations of the Digit Tones are programmable in the ATT 2000, though the default value is expected to work satisfactorily in most PBX systems. If the default value is too small a value resulting in the PBX missing some digits, this value may be increased to generate longer tones.

When the Overflow relay closes and opens its contacts a pre-defined number of times, the ATT 2000 goes off hook and dials the pick up code - (now the PBX connects the incoming call to the ATT 2000) - and then starts playing the main greeting.
Page 45
The value 511 # disables the Overflow pick up feature. Length of entry = variable. Maximum total 5 digits A call routed normally by the PBX to the ATT 2000 has a higher priority over the Overflow Pickup call. And hence, if a normal call comes in while the unit is waiting for the requisite number of Overflow relay closures, it abandons the Overflow call and answers the normal call.

Program # 512: Transfer String The ATT 2000 has a facility to program TWO different Transfer strings Primary and Alternate string. Hence, while programming you need to select Primary String (0) or Alternate String (1). However, it is not necessary to program the Alternate string and may be left blank if not being used.
Page 47
Program # 513: Retrieve String In some PBX systems, it may be necessary to dial a special string to retrieve a call when the extension to which a call is transferred is Busy or No answer. Here, you must program TWO different Retrieve strings Busy / Invalid Retrieve string (0) and No answer Retrieve string (1).

“Six One Eight (0.6 sec silence) Zero“ Program # 519: Announcer Mode The ATT 2000 may be programmed to work as a Recorded Message Announcer where the unit answers the incoming call, plays the recorded message and disconnects the call. This type of functioning may be useful when the office has shifted its premises or is closed for renovation or is closed for holidays etc.

All the default prompts may be recorded by playing a voice file on the PC and fed into the unit through the Music / Audio input of the ATT 2000 unit. Under this program, the unit goes on-hook after the program number is entered.
Page 53
In Program 900-924, the unit goes On-hook and the input is through the Music-In socket on the front panel. Hence 900-924 may be used only when the unit is located physically close to the PC on which the prompt file is being played.
