Siemens NI-1200 specifications Line Status/Speed Dial, Make Busy, Mute

Issue 5, June 1999

The Hold key status light indicates whether your Optiset terminal's own call leg is on hold and selected. This is achieved by the switching system returning a Hold Acknowledge to the terminal for the selected call.

When you want to retrieve a held call, press the line call associated with the held call, or select the Retrieve menu option. This will cause your Optiset terminal to send a retrieve request to the central-office switching system. When the Retrieve Acknowledge message is returned to your terminal by the swilching system, the Hold status light will turn off, indicating that the call is no longer on hold.

If your Optiset terminal is in Preview mode rather than Line Hold mode, you can select and review all held calls using the line keys. After previewing a held call. press the Connect or Hold key, go off­ hook. or select the Retrieve menu option to send a retrieve request to the central-office switching system. The selected held call will be retrieved after the Retrieve Acknowledge message has been sent to your terminal by the switching system. The Hold status light will be turned off to indicate that the call is no longer on hold. All other held calls will remain on hold.

If the switching system should reject your retrieve request. the call will remain on hold. You may attempt to retrieve the call later.

Intercom

Intercom is a combined local/switch-based feature that is operates only on an Optiset terminal used as a CACH EKTS phone. The feature requires an Intercom feature key to have been programmed on your terminal.

The Intercom key will operate in one of two ways. If it has been programmed with an intercom number associated with another terminal in the intercom group, you can press the Intercom key to automatically ring that terminal. If the Intercom key has not been programmed with an intercom number, you will receive dial tone when you press it. You can then dial the intercom number (up to 2 digits) of the terminal you want to call.

The status light associated with the Intercom key will alert you to incoming intercom calls and will indicate the status of intercom calls.

Line Status/Speed Dial

If your Optiset terminal operates as a CACH EKTS phone. the Speed Dial feature keys can be programmed so that the associated status lights represent some other function. One example of this is the Line Status/Speed Dial key, which functions as a normal Speed Dial key when you press it, while the associated status light represents activity on a programmed call appearance.

When you press the Line Status/Speed Dial key. the Optiset terminal places a call on an idle prime line appearance. However, unlike a normal Speed Dial key, pressing this key will not turn on the associated status light.

The status light associated with the Line Status/Speed Dial key lights whenever there is any activity on the line CACH 10 or ON. However, the only cadence is steady on, regardless of the activity (dialing, ringing, connnected, or held) on the line.

Make Busy

Make Busy Is a switch-based feature that prevents incoming calls from being presented to your Optiset terminal. If your terminal has been subscribed to this feature, the Make bUSy? menu option will be available through the idle menu display. Simply press the tI' dialog key to activate the feature. Thereafter, the idle menu display will present the Cancel make busy? option. Press the tI' dialog key with this option displayed to cancel the Make Busy feature.

Mute

Mute is a local feature that blocks the outgoing speech circuits in the Optiset terminal. In the speaker mode, Mute blocks the microphone; In the handset or headset mode, Mute blocks the mouthpiece. The feature is activated by pressing the Mute feature key. When Mute is active, the status light next to the Mute key is lighted.
