Recall Timer Duration (#107)

Description

This System Programing procedure lets you change the length of the timed signal, or switchhook flash, generated by the system Recall feature (as well as by the Recall option used in Auto Dial and Speed Dial numbers). Recall sends this timed signal over the phone line to the local telephone company or PBX to which the system is connected. Typically you use the Recall feature to access a PBX, central office, or Centrex feature such as Call Waiting. Your local phone company can tell you the correct setting—for most Centrex systems, the correct setting is 800 msec. (or 32).

Considerations

You should change the factory setting only under two conditions:

If using the system Recall feature has no effect, lengthen the time.

If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and Recall drops calls, shorten the time.

Valid Entries

01 through 80 (25 to 2000 msec. in 25 msec. increments) 18 (450 msec.)

Programming

To change the duration of the Recall Timer signal:

1.Press [ Feature ] [ 0 ] [ 0 ] [ System Program ] [ System Program ] [ # ] [ 1 ] [ 0 ] [ 7 ]. The

display reads:

Recall Timer

18450-msec

2.Enter a different Recall Timer setting by pressing [ Next Data ] or [ Prev Data ]. For example, to increase the Recall Timer setting to 750 msec., press

[ Next Data ] until the display reads:

Recall Timer

30750-msec

Alternatively, you can enter the setting number directly. For example, to set the Recall timer to 750 msec., press [ 3 ] [ 0 ].

3.Select another procedure or exit programming mode.

4.If you are using Recall to access PBX or Centrex features, test the new Recall Timer setting:

If a call is disconnected, shorten the time.

If the Recall signal has no effect, lengthen the time.
