Direct Extension Dial Delay (#112)

Direct Extension Dial Delay (#112)

Description

This System Programming procedure specifies the number of times (0–9) an incoming call should ring before it is answered by the Direct Extension Dial feature.

Related Features

■Direct Extension Dial affects incoming calls only on lines identified using Direct Extension Dial Lines (#205).

■You must program a button on the system display phone at extension 10 to turn Direct Extension Dial on and off. Use Direct Extension Dial Button (#113) to program the button.

■You must use Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback to record a message to prompt callers to dial an extension number or Hunt Group number after the system answers an outside call.

■If you use Caller ID, make sure Direct Extension Dial Delay is set to 2 rings or more to ensure that Caller ID information is captured.

Considerations

■The Automatic System/Direct Extension Dial PC card is purchased separately and must be installed. If the PC Card has not been installed, see the PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions.

■Use the Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback feature to record a message before using Direct Extension Dial since there is no default message.

■This feature works independently of Line Ringing, which determines how an outside call rings at the extension—immediately, after a 20 second delay, or not at all. Direct Extension Dial Delay specifies the number of rings a caller hears before the system answers the call.
