Direct Extension Dial Lines (#205)

Description

This System Programming procedure identifies the lines on which incoming calls are to be answered for Direct Extension Dial (DXD).

Related Features

You must program a button on the system display phone at extension 10 to turn Direct Extension Dial on and off. Use Direct Extension Dial Button (#113) to program the button.

Calls that ring on lines programmed with Direct Extension Dial are picked up after 2 rings, as a default. To change this number, use Direct Extension

Dial Delay (#112).

You must use Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback to record a greeting (up to 20 seconds) that callers hear when the system answers an incoming call.

Considerations

All lines programmed with Direct Extension Dial should be assigned to extension 10 or its transfer return extension.

If a caller enters an invalid extension number or does not enter one at all, the call is transferred to the receptionist at extension 10 or to the designated transfer return extension.

To intercept a call while the message is playing—the light for the call is steady red—press the line button and lift the handset. The message stops playing when the call is retrieved.

Valid Entries
