DCS Automatic Circuit Assurance

Allows a user or Attendant at one node to activate or deactivate Automatic Circuit Assurance referral calls for the entire DCS network. This transparency allows the referral calls to originate at a node other than the node that detects the problem.

Busy Verification of Terminals and Trunks

Allows Attendants and users of multi-appearance telephones to make test calls to trunks, telephones, and hunt groups to check the status of an apparently busy resource. With this feature, an Attendant or multifunction telephone user can distinguish between a telephone that is truly busy and one that only appears busy because of some problem. You can also use the feature to quickly identify faulty trunks.

Facility Busy Indication

Allows users of multi-appearance telephones to see which lines, trunk groups, terminating extension groups, hunt groups, or paging zones (called resources or facilities) are busy. When the lamp associated with the resource is lit, the resource is busy.

You can store extension numbers, trunk group access codes, and Loudspeaker Paging access codes in a Facility Busy Indication button. The Facility Busy Indication button provides direct access to any of the facilities.

Facility Test Calls

Allows telephone users to make test calls to access specific trunks, dual tone multifrequency receivers, time slots, and system tones. The user dials an access code and makes the test call to make sure the facility is operating properly. Security measures are included to prevent unauthorized use.

Packet Error History

Provides a 24-hour history of important packet level statistics that indirectly indicate some LAN performance characteristics. The 24-hour history gives the ability to look back at these measures if the trouble cleared.
