The system offers many optional features. This chapter contains instructions for assigning features in the following categories:

■Telephone and Extension Features. Individual telephones, consoles, or adjuncts are assigned these features. Some features may be assigned to other equipment at an extension.

■Operator Features. All operator consoles are assigned these features.

■Group-Assigned Features. These features are used by functional groups of users (such as separate departments).

■System Features. All or most users on the system use these features.

Detailed information about all features (including the considerations, constraints, and feature interactions that may impact their use) is contained in the Feature Reference. You should be familiar with this information before you attempt to perform the procedures in this chapter.

Since certain features are optional, you can simply skip those sections that do not apply to the system.

Each individual telephone form is a complete record for that specific telephone for planning, programming, and subsequent reference by the system manager. Some features noted on the individual telephone forms are not described in this book, for example, Abbreviated Ring, Call Waiting, and Automatic Line Selection. For more information about these features, see the Feature Reference.

NOTE:

Except for some telephone-specific features, for example, microphone operation, many of the features described in this chapter can be assigned to other equipment, such as a data terminal or fax machine. Therefore, throughout this chapter, the more general term “extension” is often used instead of, or in addition to, “telephone.”
