Caller ID 1
Caller information (telephone number) is furnished to MLX display telephones by
an 800 GS/LS-ID module using the LS (loop-start) option. This allows customers
to screen calls before answering the phone, as well as providing calling party
information for use with various applications. This function is available only whe n
the customer subscribes to caller identification service from the telephone
company, if the telephone company supports that service.
Shared System Access (SSA) 1
A telephone may have up to 27 Shared SA buttons to expand extension
coverage.
Authorization Codes 1
The Authorization Code feature al low s yo u to ma k e c a lls us in g y o ur ca llin g
privileges when you are dialing from an extension other than your own. When you
enter your authorization code (ranging from 2 to 11 characters and unique across
the system), the privileges and restrictions assigned to your home extens ion
override the current restrictions at the host extension. This includes toll restriction,
outward restriction, Facility Restriction Level (FRL), Allowed Lists, Disallowed
Lists, Night Service Exclusion List, and Dial Access to Pools. All other functions
on the telephone are those of the local telephone, not the home extension.
Authorization codes can also be used for the purpose of call accounting through
the SMDR printout. The SMDR account code field can hold either the
authorization code extension number or the authorization code itself.
Direct Voice Mail 1
If your company has voice mail, this feature allows you to dial a co-worker’s voice
mailbox directly without ringing that person’s extension. Direct Voice Mail is
especially useful for transferring calls when a co-worker is not available.
Additional Features 1
The status of Leave Word Calling (LWC) and Privacy are retained across cold
starts.
Caller ID (CLASSSM ICLID and PRI) are available on primary coverage and return
from transfer.
