Trunk Answer from Any Station (TAS)
General Description
This feature allows any station, except one with incoming restrictions, to answer incoming calls when the
system is in Night mode. Incoming exchange network calls will activate a common alert (TAS) signal at
the customer's premises. By dialing a specified code, any station may answer the call and then extend it
to any other station using CALL TRANSFER-ALL CALLS [C-11].
Operating Procedure
To operate:
1.
TAS signal (bell, buzzer, etc.) sounds.
2.
Lift the handset, receive Dial Tone.
3.
Dial the specified TAS access code.
4.
Connection to incoming call is completed.
Service Conditions
1.
An incoming call that terminates in the Night mode will have the following priority:
a.) NIGHT CONNECTION-FLEXIBLE [N-2]
b.) NIGHT CONNECTION-FIXED [N-1]
c.) TRUNK ANSWER FROM ANY STATION (TAS) [T-8]
2.
TAS indication will be activated for the following incoming calls:
a.) Listed Directory Number
b.) Foreign Exchange
c.) WATS
d.) CCSA
3.
All consoles assigned to handle calls for a particular group of stations (whether or not they
belong to the same TENANT [T-12]) must have NIGHT CONNECTION [N-1,2] set before this
feature will be activated.
4.
The TAS indicator can be provided on a per-tenant basis.
5.
The TAS indicator must be locally-provided.
6.
This feature is sometimes referred to as "Universal Night Answer" (UNA).
7.
Individual stations may be denied access to this feature via CLASS OF SERVICE-INDIVIDUAL
[C-15].
8.
If the system has changed to Day mode while a TAS call is being indicated, the ATTENDANT
CONSOLE [A-3] can be connected to this call.
9.
Only one TAS per Tenant can be assigned as the TAS signalling port.
Interactions
1.
For TAS to operate, an ATI circuit card is required, and the system must be in the Night mode,
depending on the type of Attendant Console system that is in service. Exercise care when setting
the resistance value via switch settings on the ATI circuit card.
2.
TENANT SERVICE [T-12]: Only one TAS circuit may be assigned per tenant.
