The feature will only work if the feature has been programmed for the line to which the STE is connected. 9-4.2.2 5ESS Multiple Call Appearances When set to the STE-8510 switch type, the STE can support any combination of up to six non-data bearer call appearances mixed between station's primary directory number, secondary directory number, a private number, and bridged call appearances on the same terminal.
Page 244 8510 Capabilities STE User’s Manual 9-4.3.2 Auto Intercom A form of abbreviated dialing, pressing the feature button assigned to Auto Intercom dials one of up to one hundred people in an intercom group as programmed by the switch administrator. The switch will send an Intercom Alerting pattern to the called terminal when this feature is used.

STE User’s Manual 8510 Capabilities Feature buttons will function normally if pressed while the Inspect feature is activated on the DEFINITY. The Inspect feature is deactivated when the call during which the Inspect feature was activated is released. 9-4.3.7 Personal Central Office (CO) Line The Personal CO Line feature allows you to receive and initiate calls directly via a specific analog trunk from the service provider’s central office (CO) to the DEFINITY switch.

8510 Capabilities STE User’s Manual secure voice call between two ISDN STEs. The second method is to initiate a non-secure voice call and press the SECVOICE Soft Key to initiate a secure voice call. Using auto-secure call initiation ensures that your connection will have best secure voice quality possible between those two STEs.

STE User’s Manual 8510 Capabilities method calls for you to start a non-secure voice call and then when you press the SECDATA Soft Key, you initiate your secure data call. Using auto-secure call initiation ensures your connection will have highest data rate possible between the two STEs.
Page 248: 9-6.1 Placing Secure Voice Calls On Definity With Ste-8510
8510 Capabilities STE User’s Manual An easy rule of thumb is to only give the data number to another STE user whose STE has an ISDN connection. When you do give them the number, remind them to place auto-secure calls to the data module so that a data bearer is requested.
Page 249: Setting Up Ste-8510
STE User’s Manual 8510 Capabilities Using auto-secure call initiation ensures the connection will have highest data rate possible between the two STEs. Data rates between two STE-8510 terminals can be as high as 128 Kbps synchronous or 115 Kbps asynchronous using STE signaling. If data bearers are available between two STEs, STE signaling is guaranteed and the secure data call will use one of the two data bearer call appearances.
