Circular Station Hunting

This new hunt group type is an alternative to the "ddc" or "hot-seat" algorithm in a hunt group. DEFINITY ECS keeps track of the last extension in the hunt group that received a call. When another incoming call arrives, it is sent to the next idle extension, bypassing the extension that had received the previous call. The first extension in the hunt group will no longer be the busiest telephone while the others in the group are sitting idle.

Speed/Convenience Calling

Abbreviated Dialing

Provides lists of stored numbers you can use to:

■Place local, long-distance, and international calls

■Activate features

■Access remote computer equipment

You simply dial the list number and the one-, two-, or three-digit number associated with the telephone number you want. The number is then automatically dialed by the system. A frequently called number can be stored on an abbreviated dialing button that you need only press once to make the call.

Abbreviated Dialing Labeling

Labeling of Abbreviated Dialing (AD) Buttons on Softkeys allows users of 8400 and 6400 series display telephone sets to administer labels for the AD buttons that appear on their softkeys. These personalized labels appear on the menu display.

Abbreviated Dialing On-Hook Programming

On-Hook Programming allows users of 8400 and 6400 series telephone sets with enabled speakers to access the programming mode without going off-hook during available call appearances. Signaling changes from DTMF to the S-channel, allowing the use of a longer (60 seconds) time-out period. Signaling will remain DTMF and the current time-out period of 10 seconds will still apply to non-display telephone sets.

Enhanced Abbreviated Dialing

Supplements Abbreviated Dialing by providing one enhanced number per system. Enhanced number lists can contain any number or dial access code. System Administrators designate privileges for group number lists, system number lists and
