Lucent Technologies 4.1 manual Manual Signaling F13XX or F13*XX, Transferring Calls

Manual Signaling (F13XX or F13*XX)

Description

This feature applies only to PARTNER- and MLS-model phones.

This feature lets you program a button on your PARTNER- or MLS-model phone that you can use to signal a predetermined co-worker’s extension. It typically is used by a receptionist to alert a user when the user is busy on another call. You can use a Manual Signaling button to beep, ring, or voice signal the user at the target extension.

Related Features

■Voice Interrupt on Busy (#312) is an alternative feature that lets a user signal, then speak to, a user who is active on a call.

■You can use the Manual Signaling button instead of dialing the two-digit extension number required for these features: Call Coverage, Call

Forwarding/Call Follow-Me, Message Light On, Message Light Off, Station Unlock, and Voice Mailbox Transfer.

■To transfer a call to an extension for which you have a Manual Signaling button, press [ Transfr ] before pressing the Manual Signaling button. See

Transferring Calls.

Considerations

■A PARTNER- or MLS-model phone is required at both extensions to use this feature.

■You must program the Manual Signaling feature code and the target extension number on a button. Use a button with lights if you want to view the status of the target extension, similar to an Auto Dial button.

■You can have only one button per extension—either on the system phone or on the Intercom Autodialer—for a target extension. The button can be programmed as a Manual Signaling button or as an Auto Dial button. The lights next to the button show calling activity—see “Lights” in Chapter 3 for more information.

■If you signal an extension that has an Auto Dial or Manual Signaling button programmed for your extension, the green light next to that button flutters to identify your extension as the signaling extension.

■You can signal the target extension while you are on an outside call. (This does not initiate a one-touch transfer.)

■A Manual Signaling button does not initiate an intercom call unless you lift the handset or press [ Spkr ] and press [ Intercom ] first.

■To respond to a signal, the target extension must place an intercom call to the person signaling.
