●
Busy Lamp Indication
The status of an extension will be shown at a Hotline key/DSS Console on another networked
system. This allows a Centralized Operator to have lamp indication of extensions in the net-
work or an extension user to have a Hotline key for a co-worker on another system.
●
Call Forwarding
You can forward your calls to an extension at another networked extension. If you visit
another site within your network but forgot to set a call forward. then use Follow Me to have
your calls forwarded to you. Follow Me is also useful if you have an Aspire Wireless handset.
If your handset is subscribed at the site you are visiting then you can use Follow Me to have
your calls forwarded to your Aspire Wireless handset.
●
Conference
An extension can have a conference call that includes co-workers at another system within the
network.
●
Direct Inward Dial (DID)
A DID call can be routed to any extension within the network. This allows an extension to
receive a DID call from any other system in the network. Along with trunk access, it is possi-
ble for an extension on a system that has no trunk lines to use the trunks of another system in
the network.
●
ARS/Flexible Network Routing
Use network routes to set up "single channel" networking between many separate systems - or
use multiple networking channels per system for greater network performance. Data tables in
the system program deÞne the routing for each extension in each network node. These tables
are easily customized to meet the requirements of each networking conÞguration.
Users may place an intercom call or transfer a call to any extension at any location by simply
dialing an extension number. The system analyzes each extension number received and deter-
mines how to route the call to its Þnal destination. There are two types of programming which
can handle this route selection - ARS and Flexible Routing (F-Routing). Up to 48 routes are
available for networking. Once an extension number is dialed, the system checks the routing,
accesses the assigned trunk group and places the call. Each extension is assigned a route or
routes that decides which trunk group to access and any modiÞed dialed data if required.
● Paging
Networking allows a user to place a Paging call to a networked system. If you need to get
through to a co-worker who is not at their desk, a page can be made to their system.
● Trunk Access
An extension can access a trunk line at another system in the network. The user dials the stan-
dard trunk access code and the system will automatically route the call to the system that has
trunks connected.
