108 Call Forward and Busy Status

Flexible Feature Code Boss Secretarial Filtering

If the secretary telephone is a Meridian 1 proprietary telephone, or a
compact digital telephone, it may be equipped with a Call Forward and Busy
Status (BFS) key/lamp pair, to perform the following:
•monitor the status of the Call Forward feature on a boss telephone
•activate/deactivate the Call Forward feature on a boss telephone
•monitor whether or not a boss telephone is busy on a call, and
•override the Call Forward All Calls feature on a boss telephone, in order
to place a call to the boss telephone.
The above functions, however, can only be performed by the secretary
telephone while it is in an unattended state, since BFS and Flexible Feature
Code Boss Secretarial Filtering cannot be active simultaneously.
Network Intercom
In a Secretarial filtering scenario, the secretary’s Busy/Forward Status
(BFS) lamp also will reflect that the boss’ telephone is busy if the boss is
on a Hot Type I call.

Phantom Terminal Numbers (TNs)

When a user attempts to define a BFS key for a phantom TN, the system
generates the following error message: "An invalid TN has been entered for
the Busy/Forward Status (BFS) key."
