Manual signaling
Allows one user to signal another user. The receiving u ser hears a two-second
ring. The signal is sent each time the button is pressed by the signaling user. The
meaning of the signal is prearranged between the sender and the receiver. Man-
ual Signaling is denied if the receiving telephone is already ringing from an
incoming call.
Misoperation Handling
Defines how calls are handled when a misoperation occurs. A misoperation is
when calls are left on hold when the controlling station goes on hook.
For example, a misoperation can occur under either of the following condi tions:
■If you hang up prior to completing a feature operation (in s ome cases,
hanging up completes the operation, as in call transfer). If, for example,
you place a call on hold, begin to transfer the call, dial an invalid extension
number, and then hang up, that’s a misoperation.
■When the system enters night service while attendant consoles have calls
on hold.
The system administrator can alter the standard Misoperation Handling to ensure
that an external caller is not left on hold indefinitely, or dropped by the system
after a misoperation with no way to reach someone for help.
This feature is used only in France and Italy.
Modem Pooling
Enables switched connections between digital data endpoints (data modules)
and analog data endpoints and acoustic coupled modems. Data tran smission
between a digital data endpoint and an analog endpoint requires a conversion
since the DCP format used by the data module is not compatible with th e modu-
lated signals of an analog modem. A modem translates DCP format into mo du-
lated signals and vice versa. The Modem Pooling feature prov ides a set of
modems for such conversions.
Multi-Appearance Preselection and Preference
Provides options for placing or answering calls on selected call appearanc es.
Ringing Appearance

Preference

ringing call when the user picks up the handset.

Idle Appearance Preference

Preselection

with a feature button. For example, if you press an Abbreviated Dialing button ,
