■Operational

System operational enhancements include the following:

—When a call is forwarded to a multiline telephone that has an Auto Dial or DSS button programmed for the forwarding telephone, the green light next to the Auto Dial or DSS button for the forwarding telephone does not flash.

—People answering calls received on Cover buttons are allowed to generate touch tones if their telephones are not outward- or toll-restricted.

—Calls received on personal lines with Do Not Disturb on go immediately to coverage instead of waiting for the coverage delay interval.

—A call put on hold at a Cover button can be added to a conference by someone who has a personal line for the call.

—A call put on hold at a Cover button can be picked up by any person who has a personal line for the call.

—Calls that have been put on hold at a Cover, SA, Shared SA, or Pool button can be picked up by a person who has a personal line button for the call.

—An inside call on hold at an SA button can be picked up and transferred by any person with a Shared SA button corresponding to the button with the held call.

—Calls that are on hold awaiting transfer can be picked up by any user who has a personal line for the call.

—Beginning with Integrated Solution III Version 1.2, the automatic reconciliation program that was run automatically at 3:00 a.m. is disabled and can be invoked manually from the User Maintenance menu.

—If an extension is programmed for Forced Account Code Entry, account codes do not have to be entered when using a programmed Loudspeaker Paging button. In addition, an SMDR record is not generated for calls made to paging ports.

—When an MLX telephone, other than an MLX-20L, is plugged into an MLX port and the Personal Directory does not contain any entries, the allocation of the Personal Directory resource is released. If there are any entries in the Personal Directory, the Personal Directory allocation and the entries in the Personal Directory are saved in the MLX port.

—SMDR call records for calls made on PRI facilities are more accurate than SMDR call records for calls made on non-PRI facilities. Outgoing calls made on PRI facilities receive “answer supervision.” Consequently, SMDR timing for calls made on PRI facilities begins when the call is answered. Timing for calls made on non-PRI facilities begins when dialing is completed. Therefore, an SMDR call record is not generated when a call made on a PRI facility is not answered at the far end.
