Extension Hunting
If a called extension is busy, Extension Hunting redirects the incoming call to an idle
extension in an extension group in numerical order. Idle extensions are automatically hunted
according to programming. The following 2 hunting types are available.
Circular hunting
The extensions are hunted one time in numerical order. If all extensions are busy,
busy tone will be heard.
Terminate hunting
The extensions are hunted until the extension which has the
highest extension number in the group is reached. If all higher order numbers are busy, the
search will end and busy tone will be heard.
Extension Lock
Allows an extension user to lock their extension so that other users cannot make outside calls
until it is unlocked. Any 4-digit code can be used to lock and unlock an extension.
The operator and manager are given the privilege of controlling Electronic Extension Lockout
at any extension by using the DSS console. The operator and manager can see the status of
each extension, locked or unlocked, using the pre-assigned DSS button LED on the DSS
console. For example, this feature is useful for a small hotel or motel when guests are checked
out.
The operator and manager can cancel Electronic Extension Lockout of all extensions at one
time.
External Feature Access
Allows an extension user to access special features (e.g. Call Waiting) offered by the Local
Exchange or host PBX. This is done by placing the current call on hold and sending a recall
signal using either the RECALL button or the feature number. This feature is effective only
during an outside call.
Flexible Buttons
A proprietary telephone user can change the flexible buttons on the telephone and DSS
console to certain function buttons. For example, if the telephone has more line keys than
available exchange lines, the unused line keys may be changed to One-Touch Dialling
buttons, etc.
Handsfree Answerback
Allows a proprietary telephone with a speakerphone to answer an intercom call without lifting
the handset. This feature performed by pressing the AUTO ANSWER/MUTE button to
prepare the telephone to perform this operation. Intercom calls will cause the telephone to
emit a warning tone and then switch on the speaker phone.
