Description
Power Failure Transfer (PFT) provides incoming and outgoing service through
the use of power failure telephones during a commercial power failure.
A power failure telephone is a single-line telephone connected to a PFT jack on
a 400, 400 LS/TTR, 800, 800 GS/LS, 800 GS/LS-ID, 408, 408 GS/LS, or 408
GS/LS-MLX module. Each module has one PFT jack for each series of four line
jacks, for example, the 800 and 800 GS/LS modules each have two PFT jacks.
When a power failure occurs, all calls are dropped and the power failure
telephone automatically goes on. It can be used to make and receive calls on
the trunk connected to the first (lowest) trunk jack on that module.
Considerations and Constraints
The power failure telephone does not function and cannot be used to make or
receive calls when the system is operating normally.
System features and restrictions are not available when PFT occurs.
Telephone Differences
Multiline Telephones
