Digital Phone LED Rates

When a data device places an intercom call, the call is placed in the non-handsfree mode. (This

can be changed in database programming, if desired, by disabling the Ring Intercom Always

flag.) The incoming intercom call to the destination station from the data device appears as a

normal intercom call with the usual displays and tones.

If an extension number is dialed and that station is in Do-Not-Disturb, the user will hear Do-

Not-Disturb tone through the data device’s speaker (if it has one). Whenever continuous busy,

reorder, or Do-Not-Disturb tone is sent by the system, the Inactivity Alarm timer is registered.

The button is lit while the tones are present. If the timer expires before the data device

hangs up, off-hook alarm tone is sent, and the button flutters rapidly until the device

hangs up. Note that once the button begins fluttering, the voice path on the phone

attached to the data port module is released and can be used for other call processing applica-

tions. (Note that the absence of a lamp or button will not interfere with these timing

parameters, but the user will not have a visual indication of them.)

If the data port places an outside call, the system performs toll restriction using the data port’s

class-of-service. If an illegal extension number or access code is dialed, the user will hear reor-

der tone through the data device’s speaker. (Call cost information for a data call is displayed on

an associated phone only when the data call is connected to a phone’s primary voice path.)

If an attempt is made to initiate a data call from the data device when the required voice path is

not available (the secondary voice path of the attached phone is busy), the data device will not

receive dial tone. The activity on the phone’s secondary voice path continues uninterrupted.

TO PLACE A DATA CALL USING THE DATA DEVICE:

1. Following the procedures of your data device’s communications software, instruct the

device to come off hook and dial the extension number, or a trunk access code and the

telephone number, of the data device to be called. The call will be processed and will be

automatically connected when answered. The button is lit until dialing is com-

pleted, then it flutters.

2. Operate the data device according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The data device can be called directly (intercom or outside calls) and receive transferred calls

via its extension number.

When a call is placed directly or transferred to the device’s intercom number, the data device

will receive ring signal. If the data device does not have auto-answer capability, the user must

manually answer the call using the data device. (Transferring a call to the data device using the

button places the call without providing ring voltage to the data device. The user must

manually cause the data device to answer the call.)

While ring signal is being sent to the data device, the button flashes. As soon as the

data device answers, the button flutters. The button continues to flutter for the duration

of the call, indicating that the data path is in use but may be picked up by associated phones.

TO ANSWER A DATA CALL USING THE DATA DEVICE:

1. When the data device receives a call, the button flashes on the associated

phone(s). If the data device does not have an auto-answer modem, follow the procedures

for the data device’s communications software and instruct the device to answer the

incoming call. The button flutters while the call is in progress.

2. Operate the data device according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
