Lucent Technologies Release 8.2 manual DCS Features, Alphanumeric Display for Terminals

Distributed Communications System B Private Networking

DCS Features

Once you have connected and set up your DCS network, you can provide the following features across the network:

Alphanumeric Display for Terminals

This feature allows calling-name display, called-name display, and miscellaneous identifiers to be transferred from a terminal on one node to a terminal on another node.

Attendant Control of Trunk Group Access

DCS Attendant Control of Trunk Group Access allows an attendant at any node in the DCS to control an outgoing trunk group at an adjacent node in the cluster. The attendant uses a remote-tgs feature button on the console for this purpose.

To use this feature, you must have a DCS Trunk Group between the local and remote switches, and the trunks in that trunk group cannot insert digits on incoming calls. If you need digit insertion on these trunks, it should be added on the outgoing trunk based on the dialed string.

Note: DCS Attendant Control of Trunk Group Access is not available if you are using D-channel DCS.

Attendant Direct Trunk Group Selection

DCS Attendant Direct Trunk Group Selection allows attendants at one node to have direct access to an idle outgoing trunk at a different node in the DCS. This feature functions the same as regular Direct Trunk Group Selection. However, the attendant uses a remote-tgs feature button on the console for this purpose.

Note: DCS Attendant Direct Trunk Group Selection is not available if you are using D-channel DCS.

To use this feature, you must have a DCS Trunk Group between the local and remote switches, and the trunks in that trunk group cannot insert digits on incoming calls. If you need digit insertion on these trunks, it should be added on the outgoing trunk based on the dialed digits.

You can assign a Trunk Hundreds Select button to access a trunk group at the local node or a trunk group at a remote node. A Trunk Group Select button assigned to access a remote node is referred to as a remote Trunk Hundreds Select button.

Pressing a remote Trunk Group Select button is the same as dialing the tie trunk group access code for the remote node and the trunk access code of the selected trunk.

Attendant Display

The DCS attendant console displays calling-party ID and called-party ID information for calls to and from remote switches in the network.
