Class Of Service Override; Terminating Calls; Using The Telephone Display Panel - 3Com 3500 Manual

In this example, to call a user in Dallas, a user in Chicago dials a Dallas extension (3000
through 3999). The dial plan on the Chicago VCX system sets up the necessary
connection to the Dallas VCX system and then to the extension at that site.

Class of Service Override

The Class of Service Override feature allows you to apply the capabilities of your own
VCX telephone temporarily to another VCX telephone on the same local network.
For example, the telephone in a conference room may be configured to prevent
long-distance telephone calls. You may, however, need to place a long-distance call
during a meeting. If the permissions included with the Class of Service on your
telephone allow long-distance calling, you can use the Class of Service Override
feature to apply your telephone features to the conference room telephone for one call
only.
To activate the one-call-only Class of Service Override from any VCX telephone:
1 Pick up the handset.
2 Press Feature + 6 + 433 or select COS Override after pressing Feature + 5. The display
panel prompts you for the required input.
3 Enter COS number.
4 Enter your password and press #.
5 Enter the destination number as you would from your own VCX telephone.
When you use Class of Service (CoS) Override, any reports that are generated on the
VCX system indicate that the CoS features of your own VCX telephone were applied
temporarily to the telephone on which you made the call.

Terminating Calls

You can terminate a call (hang up) by putting down the handset. Alternatively, you can
press the End Call soft button, or if the call is on Speaker, turn the Speaker off by
pressing the Speaker button.

Using the Telephone Display Panel

The Display Panel shows the current date and time, and your extension number. It can
also show features that you have enabled. For example, if you enable the feature that
forwards all incoming calls to your voice mailbox, the Display Panel shows Fwd Mail.
The Display Panel can also list telephone status messages, Caller ID information (if
enabled), and the number of new messages (voice, e-mail, and fax) that you have in
your mailbox.
If the Display Panel contains more than two lines of information, use the up and down
scroll buttons to navigate through the display.
Telephones at the Chicago office use an extension range from 1000 through 1999.
Telephones at the Atlanta office use an extension range from 2000 through 2999.
