Automatic Extension Privacy (#304)
Description
This telephone option lets you either allow users to join active calls at an
extension or prevent users from joining active calls at an extension. When
Automatic Extension Privacy is Assigned for an extension, other users cannot
join active calls at that extension. This option typically is used for extensions
connected to fax machines, modems, and credit card scanners, which make
and receive data calls that should not be interrupted.
Considerations
■If you want to be able to intercept calls to an auxiliary device—such as an
answering machine—make sure Automatic Extension Privacy is Not
Assigned for that extension.
■
To have Privacy on a PARTNER-6, MDC 9000, MDW 9000, standard phone,
or other device (such as a fax or modem), you must use this feature.
