DCS feature considerations
Attendant	• If you call an attendant on another switch in the DCS network, your display shows
	the attendant’s name, but does not show the attendant’s extension, instead you see
	a zero where the extension should be.
Alphanumeric Display	• On outgoing DCS calls, display of the called name may be delayed for a few
considerations	seconds until the required information arrives from the distant node. The called
	name display only works between DEFINITY ECS, DEFINITY Generic 1 and
	Generic 3 Systems, and System 75s.
Attendant Control of	• This feature is not available for trunk groups with 4-digit trunk access codes or for
Trunk Group Access	trunk members 100 through 999.
considerations
	• If the remote node (where the trunk group to be controlled resides) is a System 75,
	Generic 1, or Generic 3, it is not necessary for that node to have an attendant
	console with corresponding three-lamp Trunk Hundreds Select button. However,
	if the remote node is a System 85, Generic 2.1, or Enhanced DIMENSION PBX,
	control of the trunk group is not allowed unless an attendant at that node has a
	corresponding three-lamp Trunk Group Select button.
	• The attendant must use the Remote Trunk Hundreds Select button to directly
	access the controlled remote trunk group. If an attendant controls a remote trunk
	group, and that attendant dials the trunk access codes of the DCS tie trunk and the
	controlled remote trunk group, the call is routed to the attendant at the node where
	the trunk group resides.
	• If Attendant Control of Trunk Group Access is activated, and no attendant is
	assigned, or the attendant is later removed, calls to a controlled trunk group route
	to the attendant queue.
Attendant Direct Trunk	• This feature is not available for trunk groups with 4-digit trunk access codes or for
Group Selection	trunk members 100 through 999.
considerations
Attendant Display	• CORs for a DEFINITY switch may not correspond to those used by an Enhanced
considerations	DIMENSION PBX, System 85, or DEFINITY system Generic 2.1. Therefore, if
	the DCS network contains nodes other than Generic 1 or Generic 3, the display
	CORs may be misinterpreted. If it is important that certain CORs between various
	systems correspond with each other, those CORs should be administered
	accordingly.
	• On outgoing calls, the display of called party information may be delayed a few
	seconds until the required information arrives from the remote node. The called
	party information is displayed only if both nodes are Generic 1 or System 75.
	• DCS tie trunks between nodes must be administered with the Outgoing Display
	enabled. This enables the called party’s name to be displayed at the calling
	attendant’s display.
Automatic Callback	• An Automatic Callback request is canceled automatically if the called party does
considerations	not become available within 40 minutes, or if the calling party does not hang up
	within six seconds after activating Automatic Callback.
