Lucent Technologies 4.1 manual

In addition, you can connect the following devices to your system:

■Doorphones allow visitors to signal extensions by pressing a button on the doorphone; the person who answers a doorphone call can then speak with the visitor at the doorphone. A doorphone is especially useful for providing access to offices or departments after hours. For example, you can install a doorphone outside your building entrance to allow visitors to ring telephones inside the building when the receptionist is not there and the front door is locked.

The system supports up to two Lucent Technologies PARTNER Doorphones or any number of Lucent Technologies Universal Doorphones. Universal Doorphones offer a door unlock feature and can be installed in addition to PARTNER Doorphones.

■Loudspeaker paging systems allow you to broadcast a message over a large area, by connecting the paging system directly to the PAGE jack on the primary processor module. The system supports all Lucent Technologies paging systems including the entire PagePac line, and most paging systems from other manufacturers. In addition to its numerous paging features, the PARTNER PagePac provides doorspeaker and door unlock capabilities. For information on how to use a loudspeaker paging system with the system, see Chapter 5.

■PARTNER Passage Way® Solution allows you to combine your Personal Computer (PC) running Microsoft® Windows™ 3.1 with your phone. You can then use your PC for tasks such as dialing out from an electronic phone list, logging phone calls, and programming your phone.

■Music-on-hold systems allow you to play recorded music or messages to callers while they are on hold, by connecting the audio source to the primary processor module. The system supports the Lucent Technologies Magic on Hold system and most models from other manufacturers. (If you use equipment that rebroadcasts music or other copyrighted materials, you may be required to obtain a license from a third party such as ASCAP or BMI.)

■Remote Administration Units (RAUs) allow you to perform System and Centralized Telephone Programming from a remote location.

■Extra alerts help make users aware of incoming calls. For example, you can use an audible alert (chime, horn, or bell) to replace a phone ring in a noisy area, such as a factory. Similarly, you can use a visual alert (strobe or light) to replace a phone ring in a quiet area, such as a library. Lucent Technologies offers several compatible alerts.

■Speakerphones provide hands-free two-way operation of a phone without lifting the handset. Combining a speakerphone with a system phone or a standard phone in a conference room or office is an inexpensive way for several people at a meeting to conference in other parties. (System phone speakers are designed for individual use—not group use.) The system supports the Lucent Technologies S203 speakerphone and any industry-standard speakerphone.
