Communications System with a Lucent Technologies DEFINITY
Communications System or DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server. The
two communications systems can be co-located or at different sites.
Forwarding Delay Option
Each user can program a Forwarding Delay setting for the Forward, Remote Call
Forwarding, or Follow Me features. The forwarding delay is the number of times
that a call rings at the forwarding extension before the call is sent to the receiver.
The delay period gives the original call recipient time to answer or to screen calls
by checking the displayed calling number (if available). The delay can be set at 0
up to 9 rings. The factory setting for the forwarding delay is 0 rings (no delay).
Voice Announce on Queued Call Console
The system manager can enable the fifth Call button on a QCC console
(Hybrid/PBX mode only) to announce a call on another user's speakerphone
(providing the destination telephone has a voice announce-capable SA button
available). A QCC cannot receive voice-announced calls; they are received as
ringing calls. The factory-set status for the fifth Call button is Voice Announce
disabled.
Time-Based Option for
Overflow on Calling Group
Release 4.0 has added a time limit for calls in queue in addition to the previous
number of calls limit. If the Overflow Threshold Time option is set to a valid
number between 1 and 900 seconds, calls that remain in the calling group queue
for the set time are sent to the overflow receiver. If the overflow threshold time is
set to 0, overflow by time is turned off. The factory-set time limit is 0 seconds (off).
Single-Line Telephone Enhancements
The following changes enhance the performance of single-line telephones:
Disable Transfer. Through centralized telephone programming, the
system manager can disable transfer by removing all but one SA or ICOM
button from the extension.
No Transfer Return. When a handset bounces in its cradle, the system
interprets this as a switchhook flash and attempts to transfer a call. When
the transfer attempt period expires, the user's telephone rings. Release 4.0
eliminates this unintended ringing by disconnecting the call in situations
where a switchhook flash is followed by an on-hook state and a dial tone is
present.
Forward Disconnect. All ports on 008 OPT, 012, and 016 modules now
send forward disconnect to all devices connected to them when forward
disconnect is received from the CO. This enhancement prevents the
