Page 16: Overview
Overview Features and Capabilities The following list provides an overview of the system’s features. The features apply to all releases of PARTNER® ACS unless specified otherwise. Full line of system phones, some with displays showing date, time, and programming and feedback messages. All system phones provide access to multiple outside lines and system features.
Page 17 Overview Centrex or PBX operation support—including one-touch dialing of feature access codes on system phones. Flexible dialing restrictions and permissions so you can control telephone activity and phone bills. Special hospitality features that let Bed-and-Breakfast proprietors, for example, regulate phone use in guest rooms and schedule wake-up calls for guests.
Page 18 Features and Capabilities Features Available with Release 2.0 or Later Automatic System Answer feature to help answer and route calls. Direct Extension Dial feature to allow callers to dial an extension or help group directly without the aid of the receptionist. Line Pooling to create up to four groups, or pools, of multiple outside lines.
Page 19: System Components
Overview System Components Modular hardware design makes the system easy to install and expand. The basic system consists of a PARTNER ACS processor module, which supports three lines and eight extensions. Using these lines and extensions, you can add various optional devices and telephones to configure your system to meet your needs.
Page 20 System Components Optional Carriers Optional Devices CONTROL UNIT (for the control unit) 5-Slot 2-Slot Carrier Carrier PARTNER ACS Processor Module PARTNER Grounding Screw Serial Printer Contact Closure Jack SMDR Jack PC Card Slots (2) Power LED Paging System PARTNER PAGE Jack MAIL VS Voice Messaging Outside Line Jacks (3)
Page 21 Overview Configurations The system can have one of three basic configurations, all of which must be wall-mounted: Stand-alone PARTNER ACS processor module. This configuration does not use a carrier. 2-Slot Carrier, which can hold up to two modules. The PARTNER ACS processor module resides in the leftmost slot.
Page 22 System Components 206EC/400EC Modules provide the same capabilities as the 206E and 400E modules, respectively, but add support for Caller ID information on system display phones. To get Caller ID, first you must subscribe to the service from your local phone company (if it is available) on a per-line basis, then connect those lines associated with Caller ID to the line jacks on the 206EC and/or 400EC modules.
Page 23 Overview System Batteries The system uses two user-replaceable AAA-size standard alkaline batteries in the PARTNER ACS processor module to ensure that system programming and telephone programming settings are not lost in case of a power failure. See ‘‘Troubleshooting’’ for instructions on replacing the batteries. PC Card Slots The PARTNER ACS processor module has two PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) interface slots (hereafter referred to as...
Page 24 System Components For PARTNER ACS Release 3.0 or later, a new PARTNER Remote Access PC Card and software give you the ability to administer the system from your PC, either remotely or locally. (The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA card.) For information on installing PC Cards, see PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions .
Page 25 Overview System Capacity The PARTNER ACS release you have, the carrier you use, and the combination of modules installed, determine the number of available lines and extensions: For PARTNER ACS Release 1.0 and 1.1, the carrier you use and the combination of 200, 206 and 400 modules installed, determine the number of available lines and extensions.
Page 26 System mode is determined by the configuration of the processor module. By default, the system is configured for Key mode. Changing to Hybrid mode requires modifying the processor module. Only Lucent Technologies Authorized Personnel can modify the processor module to accommodate Hybrid mode.
Page 27 Overview Key Mode When the system operates in Key mode, individual outside lines are assigned to users’ extensions for making and receiving calls. At extensions with system phones, each individual line (Line 1, Line 2, Line 3, etc.) assigned to the extension is represented by its own line button.
Page 28 System Components A major benefit of Hybrid mode is that it allows users who have system phones with fewer buttons to have access to multiple outside lines and various types of pools. You can make efficient use of outside lines by grouping those of a similar type or function together.

Changing Settings to Support PBX or Centrex Services locations, keep the same extension numbers, and retain the phones’ programmed settings. Changing Settings to Support PBX or Centrex Services This section applies only if you use PBX or Centrex services with your system. If it does not apply, go to the next section, “System Programming Options.”...
Page 44: System Programming Options
Programming equipment restrictions apply. However, equipment dialing permissions will not override PBX or Centrex system restrictions. Speed Dial and Auto Dial Numbers When you program numbers outside the PBX or Centrex system as Speed Dial and Auto Dial numbers, include the PBX or Centrex system dial-out code (9 on most systems), followed by one or more pauses, in the stored number.
Page 45 System Programming Options IMPORTANT: While procedures that restrict dialing are very effective, absolute protection against misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones provide more protection than standard phones. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you install system phones where restricting phone use is important. Locking an Extension The system offers a Station Lock feature that lets users enter a four-digit code on their telephone dialpad to lock their extensions.

Page 47 System Programming Options Night Service with System Password (#403) restricts users at extensions in the Night Service group from dialing outside phone numbers (except Emergency numbers and Marked System Speed Dial Numbers), unless the password is entered first. Table 2-2 provides examples of settings that can be used to restrict an extension’s dialing, once it gets an outside line or pool.
Page 48 Programming Overriding Dialing Restrictions The following programming procedures provide ways to override all dialing restrictions, provided the user has access to an outside line or pool: Emergency Phone Number List (#406) defines a list of up to ten numbers that can be dialed from any extension. A typical number is 911. Marked System Speed Dial Numbers are specially identified System Speed Dial numbers, which a user can dial by pressing on a...
Page 49 System Programming Options Setting Up Auxiliary Equipment The following programming procedures help you manage auxiliary equipment. See Chapter 4 for more information about auxiliary equipment configurations or refer to Chapter 5 for details on using the procedure: Fax Machine Extensions (#601) identifies extensions to which fax machines are connected.
Page 50 Programming AA Extensions (#607) identifies an extension to which an auto attendant is connected. This lets the system notify users with display phones when they are receiving a call that has been transferred from the auto attendant. Also, Transfer Return Extension (#306) lets you identify the extension to which a call transferred by the auto attendant should be routed if the destination extension does not answer.
Page 51 PC Card inserted in one of the slots. To use the optional Backup and Restore features of the system, you must purchase a Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies. Only these Lucent Technologies PC Cards can be used in the PARTNER ACS processor module.
Page 52: Using System Programming
Programming Backup Programming—Automatic (#123) enables you to specify whether automatic backups should be performed or not. If you set this feature to “Active,” your system and telephone programming settings are backed up to the PC Card automatically at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month. The PC Card must be present in the PC Card slot for the backup to take place.

Page 59 Telephone Programming Options Programming a Receptionist’s Extension Call Handling Options If you set up a centralized telephone answering position at extension 10, use the following settings to customize it: Call Answering. If the receptionist should answer all calls , use Line Assignment (#301) to assign all lines to extension 10.
Page 60 Programming The third option is not applicable as a backup answering feature; however, it is useful for making brief announcements such as temporary closings or hours of business. Direct Extension Dial. Useful for routing outside callers directly to a specific extension or Hunt Group. When activated, this feature answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings and plays a customized message prompting the caller to dial the digits of the designated extension or hunt group.
Page 61 Telephone Programming Options Alternatively, you can install a voice messaging system to provide an automated backup answering position. Useful when the receptionist is busy on calls, away from the desk, or at night, the voice messaging system answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings, plays a customized greeting, requests callers to enter an extension number, and transfers the caller to the appropriate extension.

Conversely, and microphone by pressing if you are using the speaker and microphone and want to switch to the handset, lift the handset and the speaker and microphone will turn off.
Page 74: Standard Telephones
In conference rooms, a separate speakerphone (such as the SoundStation® from Lucent Technologies) is recommended, since the built-in speaker on a system phone is designed for individual use. Standard Telephones In addition to system phones, you can connect industry-standard touch-tone or rotary dial phones—and even some feature phones (which have built-in calling...
Page 75 Standard Telephones To use a system feature, press (in place of used on system phones) followed by its two-digit code when you hear intercom dial tone. For features that use on system phones, dial only the two-digit code when you hear intercom dial tone. (Instructions for using these features on standard phones are included in Chapter 5, ‘‘Feature Reference’’.) To use a Speed Dial number, press...
Page 76 Learning About Telephones Intercom dial tone is generated by the system to indicate that you are connected with an inside line. You hear this dial tone when you are making an inside, or intercom , call. To hear the difference between the two dial tones, lift the handset. The dial tone you hear (assuming the phone is set to select intercom first, as recommended in this guide) is an intercom dial tone.
Page 77 Standard Telephones Because there are no line buttons on standard phones, users must use Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line to select a specific line; otherwise, the system selects an idle line automatically when the user dials a 9 at intercom dial tone. (For information about Automatic Line Selection, see Chapter 5.) Similarly, because there are no pool buttons on standard phones, users must dial pool access codes at the intercom dial tone to request access to an idle pooled line.
Page 78: Combination Extensions
Learning About Telephones The capabilities of a feature phone are in the phone itself . For example, if you store a number on a feature phone’s auto dial button, that number is stored in the feature phone. (This is different from storing a number on a system phone’s Auto Dial button.
Page 79: Using Telephones
Using Telephones A second call can ring at the system phone while the standard phone is busy, but do not use the system phone to answer the second call until the standard phone is idle or the first call will be disconnected. If you make a voice-signaled intercom call to a combination extension with a system phone, only the system phone signals.

Page 86 Using Auxiliary Equipment Multiple Answering Machines If a single answering machine cannot handle all your calls, you can set up two or more machines at different extensions (Figure 4-2) so that a call does not go unanswered. If one answering machine is busy, a second call will be answered by the second machine.
Page 87 Answering Machines 5. Adjust both answering machines to answer on a different number of rings (so they do not both try to pick up the same call). For example, set answering machine 1 to 4 rings and answering machine 2 to 6 rings. (If you cannot adjust the two answering machines to answer on a different number of rings, assign some lines to Immediate Ring at extension X and other lines to Immediate Ring at extension Y.)
Page 88: Auto Attendant
Using Auxiliary Equipment 2. If the lines assigned to extension X are also assigned to other extensions, adjust the answering machine to answer on the third or fourth ring so that it does not answer calls before someone else can. (If the answering machine is to cover transferred or coverage calls, make sure the number of rings is less than the amount of transfer return rings set for the extension.
Page 89: Call Reporting Devices (Smdr)
Call Reporting Devices (SMDR) To Use Follow the instructions packaged with the auto attendant. Make sure that the unit is in backup call-answering mode. When callers call the main number for your company, the receptionist normally picks up the call. If the receptionist is busy, the auto attendant answers and plays a recorded message, such as: “Please hold for the receptionist or dial an extension number now.”...
