Basic Telephones
DESCRIPTION
CONSIDERATIONS
On-premises basic Touch-Tone or rotary telephones can be connected to
station jacks on a Basic Telephone (012) module. People with Touch-Tone
basic telephones can use many of the features of the system by using dial
codes and switchhook flashes.
Basic telephones can also be connected to a Basic Telephone and Modem
Interface 2 (BTMI-2) or an Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE). For more
information, see their entries in Section 2 "System Components."
When you assign lines or line pools to basic telephones, be sure to
provide users with a list of codes for accessing them.
Use the same procedures for administering basic telephones that you use
for administering MERLIN II system phones.
Make sure that voice announcement is disabled. Basic telephones cannot
receive voice announcements.
If Night Service with Outward Restriction is in effect, people with basic
telephones cannot enter a password to make calls. To allow them to make
after-hours calls, you must assign these basic telephones to the Night
Service Exclusion list. See "Night Service" in this section for more
information.
Basic telephones can receive ringing intercom calls, but cannot receive
intercom calls with voice announcement.
How to Use
To place an outside call using ARS:
1 Press one of the Pool Access buttons, unless a
red light next to the button is already on.
2 Lift your handset or press Speakerphone.
3 Dial the outside telephone number you want.
You hear beeps instead of Touch-Tones or rotary clicks as
you dial.
4 Wait a few moments for the call to be
completed.
If you hear a busy signal that is faster than
normal:
1 Press the same Pool Access button you used to
begin your call.
If you hear a fast busy signal again:
1 Disconnect and try your call again later.
