Selector
When a calling group member with an MLX telephone receives an outside
call for the calling group, the label of the calling group or
appears on the display along with the label for the line on which the call
came in. If ANI, station identification (SID, Release 2.0 and later
systems), or another PRI-based caller identification service (Release 4.2
and later systems) is available, the number of the caller is shown on the
display on MLX telephones after the More button is pressed. Analog
multiline telephone users see only the line information.
Coverage VMS Off can be activated if the user does not want outside
calls to be sent to the voice messaging system.
In Release 6.0 and later systems, coverage calls directed to a calling
group are not subject to queue control.
In Release 6.1 and later systems, a calling group with a non-local
member can be used to provide group coverage across the private
network to a voice messaging system, calling group, QCC queue, DLC, or
any individual extension on a remote MERLIN LEGEND, DEFINITY ECS,
or DEFINITY Prologic system; or to the PSTN via UDP routing. Refer to
the Network Reference .
When an MLX extension is programmed as a CTI link (Release 5.0 and
later systems only), it is removed from membership in calling groups.
If a calling group is programmed as the overflow receiver for another
calling group, an overflow call can arrive at a personal line button at the
extension of the overflow calling group member before it is delivered to
any SA button in the overflow calling group.
Lines intended for data calls should not be mixed in the same calling
group with lines intended for voice calls.
Video systems can connect using only 1B data connections (providing the
video application supports 1B data) when receiving a call through a
calling group. A calling group dispenses only one call to each calling
group member.
The DSS button's LED for a calling group extension number indicates the
status of calls in the calling group queue. In Release 5.0 and later
systems, the DSS button flashes if the number of calls waiting in the
queue is greater than or equal to Threshold 1 but fewer than Threshold 3.
The LED lights steadily if the number of waiting calls is greater than or
equal to Threshold 3. Otherwise, it flashes. If three thresholds are
needed, an inside Auto Dial button should be used to monitor queue
status.
In releases prior to 5.0, the LED turns on when calls are at or above the
single programmed threshold.
