Intercom — Dial
Allows multi-appearance telephone users to easily call others within an administered
group. The calling user lifts the handset, presses the Dial Intercom button, and dials the
one- or two-digit code assigned to the desired party. The called user’s telephone rings,
and intercom lamp, if provided, flashes. With this feature, a group of users who frequently
call each other can do so by pressing one button and dialing a one- or two- digit code
instead of dialing an extension number.
Manual Signaling
Allows one user to signal another user. The receiving user hears a two-second ring. The
signal is sent each time the button is pressed by the signaling user. The meaning of the
signal is prearranged between the sender and the receiver. Manual Signaling is denied if
the receiving telephone is already ringing from an incoming call.
Group Listen
Simultaneously activates your speakerphone in listen only mode and your handset or
headset in listen and speak mode. This allows you to serve as spokesperson for a group.
You can participate in a conversation while everyone else in the room is listening to what
is said.
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.
