4.Configuring the Extensions

4.1Choices When Programming the Extensions

Each extension must be individually defined in the way that best suits your needs. The options to be decided upon are described below. These choices are programmed for the extension using the commands given on the following pages.

1. What type of phone will be connected to the extension?

An extension can be connected to an ordinary phone, a key phone, a fax machine, or a door phone. (A door phone is an intercom at the outside door of your office, which visitors use to reach an operator. See Section 4.3 for additional information.) The system needs to know the phone type to communicate properly.

2.Which special features do you want to allow the extension?

Call Hold/Transfer: Allows the extension to put an outside call on hold or transfer an outside call to other extensions. This capability may not be withheld from key phones.

Call Hold Retrieval: Allows retrieving a call placed on hold at another extension. This capability may not be withheld from key phones.

Rollover Extension: Typically a voice mail or answering machine. (See Chapter 13).

Exclusive Answering Machine Privilege: Allows this extension to have a dedicated answering machine on the next numerical extension. (See Chapter 13).

Call Break-in: Allows “breaking in” or interrupting another extension’s phone call.

Emergency Alarm: Allows an extension to generate an emergency alarm signal to other extensions.

Paging Groups: Allows a key phone or a door phone at the extension to be part of a paging group.

Caller ID Display: Allows an AVT-16 series key phone to display the incoming Caller ID information.

Automatic Outside Line Seize: Allows an extension to automatically connect to an outside line when they lift their handset without dialing 9 (or 0). If the person at that extension wants to make an intercom call or use other Phone Line Manager 16 x 4 functions, they can simply switchhook before dialing any digits to drop the outside line and connect to the Phone Line Manager 16 x 4 dial tone.

3.Do you want to give new numbers to the extensions?

Each extension is automatically given a number by the system. This is the number on the jack at the unit into which the extension line is plugged. The numbers are 00 to 15 for the Phone Line Manager 16 x 4. However, it may be more logical to give your lines different numbers (for example, ones that correspond to office or room numbers).

Please note that even after you assign new numbers, the extension numbers on the jacks (00 to 15) still need to be used for all system programming where a 2-digit extension number is required. The new extension numbers you assign are used when:

making intercom calls,

transferring outside calls to another extension,

entering an extension number in the Auto-Attendant (or DISA) mode,
