In Release 6.0 and later Key or Hybrid/PBX mode systems, you can
activate or deactivate forwarding features, including Centrex Transfer via
Remote Call Forwarding but excluding Follow Me, at an extension on the
system by entering the authorization code for the extension on the same
system from which calls are to be forwarded. You enter the authorization
code, then activate or deactivate the feature in the normal fashion. This is
especially useful for a single-line telephone where you must include a
Pause character in a Remote Call Forwarding dialing sequence, because
the character cannot be dialed at a single-line telephone. It is also useful
when you must change forwarding options for a phantom extension.
The 800 GS/LS-ID module can be used in Release 3.0 and later systems
to capture Caller ID information. Beginning with Release 7.0, companies
can use the 408 GS/LS-ID-MLX, 412 LS-ID-ETR, or 800
GS/LS-ID module to capture Caller ID information (subscribed to from the
central office on loop-start lines only, if available). MLX, ETR, and MLS
display telephones in these systems show the number of an outside call
received on a line connected to the module. Beginning with Release 7.0,
the name of the calling party also can be received. If the customer also
subscribes to call waiting through Centrex, however, the number/name of
the waiting call is not shown on the MLX display.
Centrex users should not be assigned calling restrictions; the calling
restrictions should be assigned through the central office.
In Behind Switch mode, the fixed-function Conf button applies to Centrex
operation and is not recognized by the communications system. A button
can be programmed for communications system Conference.
In Behind Switch mode, the fixed-function Drop button applies to Centrex
operation and is not recognized by the communications system. A button
can be programmed for communications system Drop.
In Release 6.0 and later systems using the limited Centrex configuration,
outside calls may be remote call-forwarded on the same analog Centrex
loop-start line on which they arrived.
You can activate or deactivate Forwarding or Remote Call Forwarding by
entering the authorization code for the extension from which calls are to
be forwarded. You enter the authorization code, then activate the feature
within 15 seconds of entering the authorization code.
Calls to calling groups in a system set up in Behind Switch mode follow
the communications system ring pattern, not the central office ring
pattern.
In Behind Switch mode, a Recall button should be programmed to send
switchhook flash to activate Centrex features. The system supports the
use of a Recall button only on loop-start lines.
