Power failure operation with standard phones, allowing you to make and receive calls during a power failure while retaining programmed equipment settings for up to four days. (An optional Uninterruptible Power Supply, or UPS, is also available to allow full equipment operation during a power failure.)

Centrex or PBX operation support—including one-touch dialing of feature access codes on system phones.

Flexible dialing restrictions and permissions so you can control telephone activity and phone bills.

Special hospitality features that let Bed and Breakfast proprietors, for example, regulate phone use in guest rooms and schedule wake up calls for guests.

Easy-to-use programming procedures, making it simple for you to manage your system and telephones. System display phones provide messages and prompts during programming.

Two system programming extensions, allowing you to program the system from one extension without interrupting call activity at the other programming extension—usually the receptionist’s extension.

Modular connections to the control unit, making it simple to reconfigure your system or to add lines and/or extensions as your business grows.

Direct connections for industry-standard devices—including most standard phones, fax machines, answering machines, modems, and credit card scanners.

Optional equipment support, including doorphones, loudspeaker paging systems, music on hold*, call reporting (often referred to as Station Message Detail Recording or SMDR) devices, PARTNER Attendants, and extra alerts.

*If you use music-on-hold to broadcast certain copyrighted music or material, including songs or other material from radio broadcasts, you may be required to obtain the permission of the copyright owner. One way to obtain permission is to contact ASCAP, BMI, and/or similar performing rights organizations, to obtain a license. Or, you can purchase a Magic on Hold® system from Lucent Technologies, which does not require you to obtain such a license. Lucent Technologies disclaims any liability arising out of the failure to obtain such a license, if required.
