MANUAL SIGNALING

Description

Allows a user to signal another voice terminal. The user may do this at any time, whether on-hook or off-hook.

Multiline voice terminal users can signal another predesignated multiline voice terminal by

pressing an associated Manual

Signaling

(SIGNAL) button.

A single tone burst is provided

at the signaled terminal. The

signaling

voice terminal also

receives the tone and can use

this feature while in any call state. No LED indication is associated with the Manual Signaling feature.

When the Manual Signaling feature is used while the called station is ringing on another call, no audible signal is received by either the signaling or the called voice terminal.

The duration of the single burst of signaling will always be the same, regardless of how long SIGNAL is pressed. The signal is repeated each time the button is pressed.

Considerations

Manual Signaling allows a user to signal another voice terminal without calling the terminal. The meaning of the signal may be prearranged between the sending and the receiving parties. Only multiline terminals may be signaled.

Interactions

External Alerts: Manual Signaling will not activate external alerting devices associated with the signaled station.

Administration Requirements

Voice Terminal (Station Port):

Assign Manual Signaling button.
