Starting programming 119 Answer extension A telephone can have an Answer key, which allows that telephone to pick up calls for another extension. For example: Robert’s telephone has an Answer key for Alice. When Alice’s telephone rings, Robert can answer it on his telephone by pressing the Answer key.
Page 120
120 Starting programming Auto answer lines An Auto answer line does not have to be assigned to an extension because each incoming call is routed to a DIA line. However, the DIA line must be assigned to an extension. You must also assign Received numbers to the DIA line. If the Auto- answer line is DASS2, DPNSS 1, PRI or BRI, assign a public number to the DIA line.

Planning a network 309 AC15A private circuit settings Programming for Recall signalling Recall signalling on AC15A private circuits is used to minimise the number of network circuits needed to transfer calls between one system and another, and then back again. If Modular Plus A receives an incoming call that has to be transferred back to the originating system, or a tandem system, Recall signalling splits the line and sends the Recall signal back over the same line.
310 Planning a network Remote system access A remote caller can access a Modular Plus system dial tone, select a line pool that contains exchange lines or AC15A private circuits, then dial a number. The procedure is identical to dialling an outside number from an extension in the local system.

Planning a network 321 For example, you may have a route like this: Destination AbsorbLengt Use route Line pool (route Dial out (route 003) code 003) If you dial the number 2498 on an internal line, the system matches the first two digits of your number to the destination code. It then strips off both digits (24) from your destination code, selects line pool C, dials the dial-out 67 on line pool C and then dials the rest of your number, that is, 98.
322 Planning a network Planning a private network using DPNSS 1 Digital Private Network Signalling System 1 (DPNSS 1) lines, when installed in a network, offer significant enhancements to Norstar networking capabilities. While much of the functionality is similar to AC15A (for example, line redirection rules), the differences specific to DPNSS 1 are described here.
