Lucent Technologies 4.1 manual If a Device Has Trouble

■Headsets allow users to hold hands-free conversations. A headset is a combination earphone and microphone worn on the head, useful for receptionists, salespeople, or others who need to have their hands free while talking on the phone. Lucent Technologies offers several compatible headsets.

■Specialty Handsets are designed for those individuals who need greater functionality than that provided by the handsets on system phones and standard phones. For example, an amplified handset is available for certain system phones for hard-of-hearing users.

■In-Range Out-of-Building (IROB) protectors are required to prevent electrical surges from damaging your system when phones or other standard devices (such as a doorphone) are installed in a location other than the building where the control unit is installed. The system supports the Lucent Technologies IROB protector, which provides coverage for up to 3,000 feet (915 meters) for standard devices and 1,000 feet (305 meters) for system phones. (IROBs must be installed by a qualified technician.)

■Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE) allows you to connect a standard touch-tone phone beyond 3000 feet (915 meters) in another building on the same continuous property. It also allows you to use a special circuit from your local phone company to provide off-premises station capability.

■Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filters allow you to block “noise” generated by a nearby radio station, as well as most electrical devices.

■Caller ID devices, such as a PC with Caller ID software, support applications for storing or processing Caller ID information. Although the system provides functionally integrated, multi-line Caller ID on system display phones, you can connect other devices provided you subscribe to the service from your local phone company and connect the device directly to the Caller ID line. To install other devices, refer to “Connecting Caller ID Devices” in the PARTNER II Communications System Installation guide for details.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions packaged with the device. To order auxiliary equipment, refer to “Product Ordering Information” in Appendix B.

If a Device Has Trouble

Two System Programming procedures can be used to adjust the system settings for auxiliary equipment installed at an extension, if a device has trouble answering calls or dialing out. If a device (such as an answering machine) does not pick up transferred or intercom calls, you can use Distinctive Ring (#308) to change the ringing, so that all calls ring like outside calls at that extension. If an autodialing device (such as a modem) has trouble autodialing, use Intercom Dial Tone (#309) to change the intercom dial tone for the extension to Machine (outside line) dial tone.
