Lucent Technologies 518-458-100 manual Customizing Extensions

Initial System Setup

For extensions with standard phones, set Automatic Line Selection to intercom first. This enables standard phones to access equipment features, including intercom calling. When users lift the handsets on standard phones, they hear intercom dial tone. To access a pool, they can dial the pool access code 880, 881, 882, or 883 or dial 9 to access the first available line or pool in the sequence.

Customizing Extensions

In addition to line or pool assignments, the following procedures can be used to customize an extension:

■Line Coverage Extension (#208) to identify an extension as the “owner” of a specific outside line. A user at the extension can activate Call Coverage or VMS Cover for the specified line. Use Call Coverage Rings (#116) to specify the number of times a call should ring at the owner’s extension before it is sent to the covering extension or VMS Cover Rings (#117) to specify the number of times a call should ring at the owner’s extension before it is sent to the owner’s voice mailbox.

■

■

Display Language (#303) to specify the language (English, French, or Spanish) for messages that appear on a system display phone.

Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) t o prevent other extensions with the same line from joining a call at the extension. This feature is also useful for extensions connected to a modem, fax, or any device whose function can be disrupted by someone trying to join it.

■Call Waiting (#316) to identify standard phone extensions that can receive the system (not the local telephone company) call-waiting tone for a second incoming call when active on a call.

■

■

Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to prevent the extension from making certain types of outgoing calls (on all system lines).

Disallowed List Assignments (#405) to assign one or more Disallowed Phone Number Lists to the extension. Use Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) to create the lists of outside numbers that extensions cannot dial.

■Allowed List Assignments (#408) to assign one or more Allowed Phone Number Lists to the extension. Use Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407) to create the lists of outside numbers that otherwise-restricted extensions can dial.

■Pickup Group Extensions (#501), Calling Group Extensions (#502), Night Service Group Extensions (#504), and Hunt Group Extensions (#505) to place the extension in any of these groups. See ‘‘Setting Up Groups of Extensions’’ on page 2-14 for more information.
