32 CHAPTER 3: BASIC TELEPHONE OPERATION
For example, the telephone in a conference room may be configured to
prevent long-distance telephone calls. You may, however, need to place a
long-distance call during a meeting. If the permissions included with the
Class of Service on your phone allow long-distance calling, you can use
the Class of Service Override feature to apply your phone features to the
conference room phone for one call only.
To activate the one-call-only Class of Service Override for a Manager’s
phone:
1Press the Features soft button.
2Scroll to the COS Override feature.
3Press the Select soft button. The display panel displays COS Override
on for a few seconds.
4Enter the COS number (your phone extension) and press #.
5Enter the COS password (your telephone password) and press #.
6When you hear the dial tone, dial the destination telephone number.
When you use Class of Service (CoS) Override, any reports that are
generated on the VCX system indicate that the CoS features of your own
VCX telephone were applied temporarily to the telephone on which you
made the call.
Terminating Calls You can terminate a call (hang up) by replacing the handset. Alternatively,
depending on your phone model, you can press the Release button, or if
the call is on Speaker, turn the Speaker off by pressing the Speaker
button.
Using the Telephone Display Panel
The Display Panel shows the current date and time, and your extension
number. It can also show features that you have enabled. For example, if
you are logged in to a hunt group, the Display Panel shows hunt group
login enabled.
The Display Panel can also list telephone status messages, Caller ID
information (if enabled), and the number of new messages (voice, e-mail,
and fax) that you have in your mailbox.
