Delay Announcements	3

Use up to 10 primary delay announcement devices and one secondary device (Release 5.0 and later systems only) to cover incoming calls that wait for an

available calling group member (see ‘Group‘ Features’’ on page 4-49 for more information about calling groups). To make announcements, use industry-standard announcement devices, which must have disconnect and announcement features. The devices connect directly to an extension jack on a 012, 016 (Release 4.0 and later), or 008 OPT module. Alternatively, an announcement device can connect to an MLX telephone equipped with an MFM or to an analog multiline telephone with a GPA.

Door Phone 3

The Lucent Technologies Door Phone enables you to speak directly⎯over the telephone⎯with people outside your locked business door. When a visitor presses the button on the Door Phone Speaker, it rings a predesignated extension or activates an alert device. You can then speak to the person by using the predesignated phone. Use system programming to designate which phone rings. The Door Phone controller unit connects to a 408 or 800 line/trunk jack.

You can attach an answering machine to greet off-hours visitors or let them leave a message. You can also attach an electromechanical door lock so you can unlock the door by dialing a special code from the telephone.

Telephone Adjuncts 3

The telephone adjuncts described in this section connect to a telephone either directly or through an adapter.

Modems 3

A modem can connect at an extension or directly to a 012 or 016 (Release 4.0 and later) module on the control unit.

A modem connected to an MLX telephone requires a Multi-Function Module (MFM); a modem connected to an analog multiline telephone requires a GPA (General Purpose Adapter).

You can connect most industry-standard modems to the system.

Headsets 3

Headsets allow for hands-free telephone use and consist of several components, depending upon whether manual or one-touch operation is used. Any Lucent Technologies headpiece works in either of these two modes of operation. For more information about installing and using headsets, see the user or operator guide for the telephone where the headset is connected.
