Whisper Page — Allows an assistant or colleague to bridge onto your telephone
conversation and give you a message without being heard by the other party or
parties you are talking to. Whisper Page works only on certain types of
telephones.
Loudspeaker Paging Access — Provides attendants and telephone users dial
access to voice paging equipment. As many as nine paging zones can be provided
by the system and one zone can be provided that activates all zones at the same
time. (A zone is the location of the loudspeakers — for example, conference
rooms, warehouses, or storerooms.) A user can activate this feature by dialing the
trunk access code of the desired paging zone, or the access codes can be entered
into Abbreviated Dialing Lists. Once you have activated this feature, you can
simply speak into the handset to make the announcement.
Deluxe Loudspeaker Paging Access (called Deluxe Paging) provides attendants
and telephone users with integrated access to voice-paging equipment and Call
Park capabilities. When you activate Deluxe Paging, the call is automatically
parked. The parked call returns to the parking user with distinctive alerting when
the time-out interval expires.
Code Calling Access — Allows attendants, users, and tie trunk users to page with
coded chime signals. This feature is helpful for users who are often away from
their telephones or at a location where a ringing telephone might be disturbing.
Special Ringing
Distinctive Ringing — Rings or activates alerting on your telephone in such a
way that you are aware of the type of incoming call before answering it. This
feature operates in a Distributed Communication System (DCS) environment the
same as it does within a single system.
By default, internal calls are identified by a 1-burst ringing pattern, external calls
by a 2-burst ringing pattern, and priority calls by a 3-burst ringing pattern. You
can administer these patterns, however.
Personalized Ringing — Allows users of certain telephones to uniquely identify
their own calls. Each user can choose one of a number of possible ringing
patterns. The eight ringing patterns are tone sequences consisting of different
combinations of three tones. With this feature, users working closely in the same
area can each specify a different ringing pattern in order to better identify their
own calls.
Priority Calling — Allows you to ring another telephone with a distinctive signal
that tells the called party the incoming call requires immediate attention. The
called party can then handle the call accordingly. You activate priority calling by
Dialing a Priority Calling access code or pressing a feature button, followed by
the extension number. You can use Priority Calling only if your telephone has
been administered with the required class of service.
Ringing Options — Provides multi-appearance telephone users with different
ringing patterns. This feature primarily affects audible ringing for calls directed to
telephones that are off hook, or calls directed to idle and active CALLMASTER
telephones.
