After calling a busy Department Calling Group member, an extension user can have
Department Step Calling quickly call another member in the group. The caller does
not have to hang up and place another Intercom call if the first extension called is
unavailable. Department Step Calling also allows an extension user to cycle through
the members of a Department Group.

Dialing Number Preview lets a display multiline terminal user dial and review a
number before the system dials it. Dialing Number Preview helps the user avoid
dialing errors.

For an extension with Dial Pad Confirmation Tone enabled, the user hears a beep
each time they press a key. This is helpful for Intercom calls and Dial Pulse trunk
calls, since these calls provide no Call Progress tones.

If a trunk has Dial Tone Detection enabled, the system monitors for dial tone from the
Telco or PBX when a user places a call on that trunk. If the user accesses the trunk
directly (by pressing a line key or dialing #9 and the trunk's number), the system will
drop the trunk if dial tone does not occur. If the user access the trunk via a Trunk
Group (by dialing a trunk group code or automatically through a feature like Last
Number Redial), the system can drop the trunk or optionally skip to the next trunk in
the group. Refer to the chart under Programming for more information.

The system is fully compatible with NEC's digital voice mail systems. These systems
provide telephone users with comprehensive Voice Mail and Automated Attendant
features. Voice Mail ends the frustration and cost of missed calls, inaccurate written
messages and telephone tag. This frees a company's busy receptionists and
secretaries for more productive work.
Automated Attendant automatically answers the system's incoming calls. After
listening to a customized message, an outside caller can dial a system extension or
use Voice Mail.

Direct Inward Dialing (DID) lets outside callers directly dial system extensions. DID
saves time for callers who know the extension number they wish to reach. To place a
DID call, the outside caller dials the local exchange (NNX) and additional digits to ring
