Telephone Features
Circular Station Hunting
This new hunt group type is an alternative to the "ddc" or "hot-seat" algorithm in a hunt
group. DEFINITY ECS keeps track of the last extension in the hunt group that received a
call. When another incoming call arrives, it is sent to the next idle extension, bypassing
the extension that had received the previous call. The first extension in the hunt group will
no longer be the busiest telephone while the others in the group are sitting idle.
Speed/Convenience Calling
Abbreviated Dialing
Provides lists of stored numbers you can use to:
■ Place local, long-distance, and international calls
■ Activate features
■ Access remote computer equipment
You simply dial the list number and the one-, two-, or three-digit number associated with
the telephone number you want. The number is then automatically dialed by the system.
A frequently called number can be stored on an abbreviated dialing button that you need
only press once to make the call.
Abbreviated Dialing Labeling
Labeling of Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Buttons on Softkeys allows users of 8400 and 6400
series display telephone sets to administer labels for the AD buttons that appear on their
softkeys. These personalized labels appear on the menu display.
Abbreviated Dialing On-Hook Programming
On-Hook Programming allows users of 8400 and 6400 series telephone sets with
enabled speakers to access the programming mode without going off-hook during
available call appearances. Signaling changes from DTMF to the S-channel, allowing the
use of a longer (60 seconds) time-out period. Signaling will remain DTMF and the current
time-out period of 10 seconds will still apply to non-display telephone sets.
Enhanced Abbreviated Dialing
Supplements Abbreviated Dialing by providing one enhanced number per system.
Enhanced number lists can contain any number or dial access code. System
Administrators designate privileges for group number lists, system number lists and
