Flash Button - Toshiba Strata DK14 General Description Manual

Flash Button

The Flash button serves one of two purposes:
Disconnect a line and get CO dial tone again. If the Flash button is pressed when a station is
connected to an outside loop start line, a "flash" signal is sent to the CO that is long enough to
disconnect the line and get CO dial tone again.
Operate features on a PBX or Centrex. If the Flash button is pressed when a station is
connected to a PBX, the station can use the features on the PBX or Centrex.
Different flash times are usually required for each purpose. If the flash is programmed with one
value only, it can perform only one of these two functions, but not both.
Benefits
Enables the user to disconnect the line and get CO dial tone again on the same CO line with one
touch of a button. When a station user is making a series of CO calls or is redialing a busy number,
it is inconvenient to have to press the hookswitch, release it, and access a CO line again.
When the system is installed behind a PBX, users can access PBX features that require a "flash" to
operate, enabling stations to function more fully as a part of the PBX, and to take advantage of the
PBX features.
