Class of Service Each telephone in your CBX system has a class of ser- vice (COS) that specifies the features available on that telephone. Therefore, you may find that some features included in this guide are not available on your tele- phone.
Page 29: Frequently Used Keys

Frequently Used Keys Callback Key: The Callback key can help you com- plete calls to extensions that are busy, ringing, or in Do Not Disturb mode.

Using the Speaker Your telephone has a speaker that you can use for receiving calls or listening to the PhoneMail system. On ROLMphone models that only have a speaker and not a microphone (RP312, RP612, and RP624), you must lift the handset to speak to the other party.
Page 52: Using The Speakerphone

Also, if your telephone is near a large object that reflects sound and you are further away from the telephone than the object is, your voice volume may be reduced and your voice may sound hollow to the other party. However, the party should still be able to understand you.
Page 54: Muting The Speakerphone

Muting the Speakerphone If you have a Mute key, you can press it to turn off the microphone, so that you can carry on a conversation in your room that the other party on your line cannot hear. Mute is also helpful when someone puts you on hold, since it lets you hear your party reconnect even if there is a high noise level in your room.
Page 55: Hold

If you do not retrieve the call after a certain period of time (deter- mined by the CBX), your telephone rings. If it is an external call and you do not answer, the call is trans- ferred to the operator.
Page 56: When Your Party Puts You On Hold

Private Hold is another way to place a call in a temporary waiting position. But with Private Hold, the call can only be retrieved from your telephone. Another party cannot pick up the call from his or her telephone, even if your line appears on their tele- phone.

Page 145: Hunt Groups

Hunt Groups A hunt group consists of a group of telephones set up to move an incoming call automatically from one phone to another until it is answered or the caller hangs up. A call to a hunt group is signaled by long rings.
Page 146: Station Hunt Group

Station Hunt Group To set up a station hunt group, a person who wants to be included sets up a destination, which is the next extension to be hunted. Calls to that person’s primary extension will then advance to their destination. You can only join a station hunt group if your phone has been assigned the station hunt group class of service.
Page 147: Linear Pattern

For a circular-pattern station hunt group, after the initial round of advancing the call will be auto- matically queued at the phone that was originally called. If this is not possible because there is already a call waiting, or because the class of service of the phone to which the call was originally directed does not allow automatic queuing, the caller will receive a busy tone.
Page 148: Removing Yourself From A Hunt Group

Removing Yourself from a Hunt Group If you want to prevent hunt group calls from advancing to your phone, you can use the No-Hunt feature to temporarily remove your phone from the group. Hunt group calls will then skip your phone and advance to the next phone in the group.
Page 149

To change your station hunt destination You must remove yourself from the hunt group before you can change your station hunt destination. Remove your phone from the hunt group, as described on page 7–12. Verify that both the member who is your current destination and the one who will become your new destination have also removed their phones from the group.

Page 152: Pin Authorization Features

If your PIN is restricted, you cannot use your PIN at any other telephone. The CBX will accept your PIN only when entered at your telephone. In this case, the system will not let you use two of the features presented in this chapter: Follow-Me Forwarding and Remote Authorization.
Page 153: Class Of Service Changeover

Class of Service Changeover Your telephone may be set up at the CBX to use one class of service (the primary) during normal business hours and then automatically change over to a more limited one (the secondary) during non-business hours. This arrangement makes it more difficult for someone to use your telephone to make unauthorized calls.
Page 154: Follow-me Forwarding

Follow-Me Forwarding Follow-Me Forwarding temporarily authorizes you to change your extension’s Variable Forwarding target from another internal telephone. For example, you can use it to have your calls follow you from one office to the next. To change your Variable...

Page 156: Forced Authorization

Whether you are required (forced) to enter your PIN to make an external call depends on the class of service of the telephone you are using, the number you have dialed, and the route the CBX uses to con- nect you with a trunk (outside line).
