pairs of telephones such as a secretary and an executive. The secretary might press the
button to signal to the executive that a call needs answering or someone has arrived for
an appointment. The executive might use the button to indicate that he or she should not
be disturbed.
Internal Automatic Answer
Allows specific telephones to answer incoming internal calls automatically. This feature is
intended for use with telephones that have speakerphones or headsets. You simply press
an Internal Automatic Answer feature button, and calls are automatically answered when
the telephone is idle. Internal and Distributed Communications System (DCS) calls can
be answered using Automatic Answer, but only attendants can use Automatic Answer to
answer external calls directed to the attendant.
Recall Signaling
Recall Signaling allows the user of an analog station to place a call on hold, use the voice
terminal for other call purposes, and then return to the original call.
Local Call Timer Automatic Start/Stop
Automatically starts the local timer of a 6400 series telephone when a call is received.
The timer is stopped automatically when a call is ended. When a call is placed on hold the
timer continues to run, but is not displayed. When the call comes off hold, the total
elapsed call-time displays.
Call Redirection
Call Forwarding
Call Forwarding provides four functions:
■ Call Forwarding All Calls — Allows calls to be forwarded to an internal extension,
external (off-net) number, an attendant, or an attendant group.
■ Call Forwarding Override — Allows the user at the forwarded-to extension to
override Call Forwarding and either initiate a call or transfer a call back to the
forwarded-from extension.
■ Call Forward Busy/Don’t Answer — Allows calls to be forwarded when the called
extension is busy or when the call is not answered after an administrable interval. If
the extension is busy, the call forwards immediately. If the extension is not busy, the
incoming call rings the called extension, then forwards only if it remains
unanswered longer than the administered interval.
