Callback Request; Camp-On (Call Waiting); Do-Not-Disturb (Dnd); Dp-To-Dtmf Signal Conversion - Panasonic DBS 576 Technical Manual

CALLBACK REQUEST

Description:
A phone can alert the user when another, busy extension becomes free. Say Extension "A" calls
Extension "B" who is busy. "A" can dial a Callback Request code, hang up, and concentrate on
other things. When "B" becomes free, "A" will ring. When the "A" user picks up the handset, the
"A" phone will automatically ring the "B" phone. (Or, "A" can change their mind and cancel the
Callback Request.)
Benefits:
• The user doesn't have to keep redialing a busy extension; the phone does all the work.

CAMP-ON (CALL WAITING)

Description:
You can program phones to be able to "camp-on" calls to other extensions. This in effect
"queues" the call onto a busy extension. On phones that are programmed for Automatic Camp-
On, put the call on hold, dial the extension to transfer the call to, and hang up. For Manual
Camp-On, users dial a Camp-On code before hanging up. The busy extension will receive a
splash tone on-speaker (this tone can be turned on/off in programming).
To pick up a camped-on call, either hang up from the current call and then go off-hook again, or
put the current call on hold. You'll be automatically connected to the caller.
Benefits:
• Users only have to call a busy extension once. They don't have to wait for the station
to become free, or interrupt the current call, to transfer a waiting call to it.
Applications:
• Any user who wants to be notified of another call, without the current caller being
aware of it
• Attendants who don't have time to wait for extensions to become free before
transferring calls to them

DO-NOT-DISTURB (DND)

Description:
DND enables station users to stop all transferred intercom and CO calls from ringing their
station, but still be able to make outgoing calls. Anyone who calls the DND station will hear a
distinctive busy signal. But individual phones can be programmed with the ability to override
DND settings on other phones. The DND On/Off code can be programmed into an FF-key; the
user simply presses the key to activate DND (key LED will be lit red), or turn it off (key LED will
extinguish).
Benefits:
• Enables a user to quickly and easily initiate privacy for important meetings, etc.

DP-TO-DTMF SIGNAL CONVERSION

Description:
While on a DP (dial pulse) trunk, a user can switch to DTMF (dual tone multi-frequency) signaling
by pressing the
*
connecting to an automated answering system such as Voice Mail, Auto Attendant, etc.
or # key. DTMF signaling is required whenever additional digits are dialed after
