External Feature Access (Efa) - Panasonic KX-NS700 Feature Manual

2.11.7 External Feature Access (EFA)

Description
Normally, an extension user can only access features within the PBX. However, when performing External
Feature Access (EFA) the extension user performs features outside of the PBX, such as using the transfer
services of the telephone company or host PBX. When EFA is performed, the PBX sends a flash/recall signal
to the telephone company or the host PBX (® 2.5.4.8 Host PBX Access Code (Access Code to the Telephone
Company from a Host PBX)).
This feature is only available on trunk calls.
This feature is performed by pressing the EFA button or the FLASH/RECALL button that is set to EFA mode
(® 2.11.6 Flash/Recall/Terminate).
Conditions
•
Flash/Recall Time
The Flash/Recall time can be assigned for each trunk port.
•
EFA Button
A flexible button can be customised as the EFA button.
•
It is possible to perform this feature by entering the feature number while the current call is placed on
Consultation Hold (e.g., is going to be transferred to an extension of the host PBX).
Consultation Hold: a condition that a party is in, when an extension is calling other parties in order to
perform Call Transfer, Conference, or Call Splitting.
In Consultation Hold, the original call is treated as if it is on hold, allowing the extension to call a third party
all on one line. In Call Hold, the party on hold and the third party are connected to the extension using
separate lines.
