FCC Notification and Repair Information  
This equipment is registered with the FCC in accordance with Part 68 of its rules. In  
compliance with those rules, you are advised of the following:  
Means of Connection: Connection to the telephone network shall be through a  
standard network interface jack USOC RJ11C. These USOCs must be ordered from  
your local telephone company.  
FCC compliant line cords are provided with Line and Line/Extension Modules for  
connecting to the telephone company provided USOC RJ11C jacks. Use only FCC  
compliant line cords and jacks for these connections.  
This equipment may not be used with party lines or coin telephone lines.  
Notification to the Telephone Companies: Before connecting this equipment, you or  
your equipment supplier must notify your local telephone company’s business office of  
the following:  
The telephone number(s) you will be using with this equipment.  
The appropriate registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN)  
which can be found on the right hand side of the control unit.

REN Information: The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be  
connected to the same telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may  
result in the devices not ringing in response to incoming call. In most, but not all areas,  
the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices  
that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local  
telephone company.  
Repair Instructions: If you experience trouble because your equipment is  
malfunctioning, the FCC requires that you disconnect the equipment from the network  
and not use it until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this equipment can only  
be made by the manufacturer, its authorized agents, or by others who may be  
authorized by the FCC. In the event repairs are needed on this equipment, please  
contact your local Authorized Dealer or the Lucent Technologies Technical Service  
Center at 1-800-628-2888. For warranty information, see Appendix B.  
Rights of the Local Telephone Company: If this equipment causes harm to the  
telephone network, the local telephone company may discontinue your service  
temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not  
practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right  
to file a complaint with the FCC.  
Your local telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,  
operations, or procedures that affect the proper functioning of this equipment. If they do,  
you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted  
telephone service.  
Hearing Aid Compatibility: All system phones are compatible with inductively coupled  
hearing aids as prescribed by the FCC.  
Industry Canada (IC) Notification and Repair Information  
The Industry Canada (IC) label identifies certified equipment. This certification means  
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational,  
and safety requirements. The IC does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the  
user’s satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that is permissible to connect it to  
the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be  
installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s  
inside wiring for single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified  
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that  
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some  
situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian  
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the  
user to this equipment, or any equipment malfunctions, may give the  
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users, for their own protection, should ensure that the electrical ground connections of  
the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are  
connected. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.  
!
CAUTION:  
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should  
contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or electrician, as  
appropriate.

To prevent overloading, the Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device  
denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop used by  
the device. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices  
subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the devices  
does not exceed 100.  
IC Certification No: See the label on the side of the control unit.  
CSA Certification No: LR 60486  
Load No: 7  
Renseignements sur la notification du ministère des  
Industrie Canada et la réparation  
L’étiquette du Ministère des Industrie Canada identifie le matériel homologué. Cette  
étiquette certifie que le matériel est conformé à certaines normes de protection,  
d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications. Le Ministère n’assure  
toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.  
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder  
aux installations de l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit  
également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée. Dans certains cas, les fils  
intérieurs de l’enterprise utilisés pour un service individuel à ligne unique peuvent être  
prolongés au moyen d’un dispositif homologué de raccordement (cordon prolongateur  
téléphonique interne). L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité  
aux conditions énoncées ci-dessus n’empêchent pas la dégradation du service dans  
certaines situations. Actuellement, les entreprises de télécommunication ne permettent  
pas que l’on raccorde leur matériel à des jacks d’abonné, sauf dans les cas précis  
prévus pas les tarifs particuliers de ces entreprises.  
Les réparations du matériel homologué doivent être effectuées par un centre  
d’entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de  
télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite  
de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause d‘un mauvais  
fonctionnement.  
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre  
de la source d’énergie électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau  
métalliques, s’il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement  
importante dans les régions rurales.  
!
AVERTISSEMENT:  
L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir  
recours à un service d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien,  
selon le cas.  
L’indice de charge (IC) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal, indique, pour éviter toute  
surcharge, le pourcentage de la charge totale qui peut être raccordée a un circuit  
téléphonique bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif. La terminaison du circuit boucié peut être  
constituée de n’importe quelle combinaison de dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des  
indices de charge de l’ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.  
No d’homolagation: Voir l’étiquette sur le côté de l’unité de contrôle.  
No de certification CSA: LR 60486  
Indice de charge: 7

About This Guide  
Purpose  
This guide is intended for the System Manager. It explains what Releases 1.0, 1.1,  
2.0 and 3.0 of the PARTNER® Advanced Communications System (ACS) can do,  
provides instructions for programming and using the system, and tells how to get  
the most out of the system’s many features and capabilities. The descriptions  
apply to all releases unless specifically identified as features available with  
Release 1.1, Release 2.0 and Release 3.0, or with Release 3.0 only.  
Terminology  
Throughout this guide, the PARTNER Advanced Communications System is  
referred to simply as the system and Lucent Technologies telephones specifically  
designed to work with the system are called system phones. You can also use  
industry-standard telephones with the system, which are referred to as standard  
phones in this guide. Finally, the PARTNER MAIL VS® or PARTNER MAIL® Voice  
Messaging System, which you may have connected to the system, is referred to  
as the voice messaging system.  
How to Use This Guide  
For information about the following topics, refer to the appropriate chapter:  
Getting Acquainted. Chapter 1 provides an overview of system features  
and hardware components.  
Programming the System. You can change your system’s settings easily  
to accommodate new or expanding needs. Chapter 2 provides general  
programming information, while Chapter 5 provides detailed instructions  
for programming specific system features.  
Training Co-Workers. Chapter 3 explains how system and standard  
phones work with the system. To help train co-workers on telephone  
basics, you can share this information with them.

About This Guide  
Using Auxiliary Equipment. The system supports a wide variety of  
auxiliary equipment, including fax machines, modems, voice messaging  
systems, and call reporting devices. Chapter 4 provides advice on setting  
up these devices to work effectively with the system.  
Daily Operation. Depending on how your system is set up, you may need  
to oversee some of the system’s daily operations. For example, you may  
need to turn on Night Service at the end of each day before leaving the  
office. Reference information about all features, including descriptions and  
instructions for using each feature, is provided in Chapter 5.  
Solving Problems. Chapter 6 provides information about solving  
problems if your system or telephones malfunction.  
Once you are experienced with the system, use the Table of Contents or Index to  
locate the information you need.  
Throughout this guide, feature names are printed in bold—for example, System  
Date (#101). Chapter 5, ‘‘Feature Reference’’ provides comprehensive  
information about each feature, with the features arranged in alphabetical order.  
For example, if you see a reference to System Date (#101), you can look it up in

Overview  
System Components  
Modular hardware design makes the system easy to install and expand. The basic  
system consists of a PARTNER ACS processor module, which supports three  
lines and eight extensions. Using these lines and extensions, you can add various  
optional devices and telephones to configure your system to meet your needs. To  
expand the system to include more lines and extensions, simply attach additional  
modules and a carrier to contain them. The term control unit is used to refer to the  
stand-alone PARTNER ACS processor module (or to the carrier and the modules  
it contains), since this is the heart of the system. Figure 1-1 shows an example of  
system components.  
!
WARNING:  
There are no customer-serviceable components inside the system modules  
or carrier. There are hazardous voltages within that can cause severe or fatal  
personal injury. DO NOT OPEN THE MODULES.

Overview  
Configurations  
The system can have one of three basic configurations, all of which must be  
wall-mounted:  
Stand-alone PARTNER ACS processor module. This configuration does  
not use a carrier.  
2-Slot Carrier, which can hold up to two modules. The PARTNER ACS  
processor module resides in the leftmost slot.  
5-Slot Carrier, which can hold up to five modules. The PARTNER ACS  
processor module resides in the center slot. This carrier includes a cover.  
In either carrier, one and only one of the modules must be a PARTNER ACS  
processor module. The modules slide into the carrier, which channels power to  
the system.  
System Modules  
The following system modules can be installed in your system:  
PARTNER ACS Processor Module provides the software intelligence that  
controls the system’s features. It has jacks for three outside lines, eight  
enhanced Tip/Ring extensions, a music-on-hold audio source, a  
loudspeaker paging system, a grounding screw, a jack that supports an  
adjunct for two Contact Closures, and a call reporting (SMDR) device, such  
as a printer. It also has two PC Card slots, a bicolor red and green  
light-emitting diode (LED), and two AAA user-replaceable batteries. The  
module also provides support for integrated Caller ID information on  
system display phones. The system requires one PARTNER ACS  
processor module.  
200 Module has two outside line jacks, but no extension jacks. This  
module is an inexpensive way to add lines when you do not need more  
extensions.  
206E Module has jacks to connect a maximum of two outside telephone  
lines and six extensions to the system. You can connect telephones and  
other telecommunications devices (such as fax machines and modems) to  
the extension jacks (either directly or through your building’s modular wall  
jacks). Each 206E module has a green power indicator that shows it is  
receiving power.  
400E Module is similar to the 206E module but without extension jacks. It  
has four outside line jacks. Like the 200 module, this module is an  
inexpensive way to add lines when you do not need more extensions.

System Components  
206EC/400EC Modules provide the same capabilities as the 206E and  
400E modules, respectively, but add support for Caller ID information on  
system display phones. To get Caller ID, first you must subscribe to the  
service from your local phone company (if it is available) on a per-line  
basis, then connect those lines associated with Caller ID to the line jacks  
on the 206EC and/or 400EC modules. Any users with system display  
phones who receive calls on Caller ID lines will get Caller ID. For more  
information, see ‘Caller ID’’.  
308EC Expansion Module (Release 2.0 or later) provides expanded line  
and extension capability. It has jacks for three outside lines and eight  
extensions. Using combinations of modules, you can have a maximum of  
40 extensions with 15 lines (one ACS processor module and four 308EC  
modules) or 19 lines with eight extensions (one ACS processor module and  
four 400 modules). To get Caller ID, first you must subscribe to the service  
from your local phone company (if it is available) on a per-line basis, then  
connect those lines associated with Caller ID to the line jacks on the  
206EC, 308EC, and/or 400EC modules. Any users with system display  
phones who receive calls on Caller ID lines will get Caller ID. For more  
information, see ‘Caller ID’’.  
Hereafter, references to 206 modules include 206E, 206EC, and all 206 modules  
used with previous releases of the PARTNER product line. Similarly, references to  
400 modules include 400E, 400EC, and all 400 modules used with previous  
releases of the PARTNER product line. Any 200 modules can also be used.  
If you want message-waiting capability on standard phones that are equipped with  
LED-compatible message-waiting lights, you must connect those phones to  
extension jacks on a PARTNER ACS processor module, a 308EC module, or on  
Release 3.0 (R3.0) or later 206 modules.

Overview  
System Batteries  
The system uses two user-replaceable AAA-size standard alkaline batteries in the  
PARTNER ACS processor module to ensure that system programming and  
telephone programming settings are not lost in case of a power failure. See  
‘‘Troubleshooting’’ for instructions on replacing the batteries.  
PC Card Slots  
The PARTNER ACS processor module has two PCMCIA (Personal Computer  
Memory Card International Association) interface slots (hereafter referred to as  
PC Card slots). You can buy PC Cards to use in these slots for the following  
purposes:  
Use a Backup and Restore PC Card to backup or restore telephone and  
system programming.  
Upgrade from PARTNER ACS Release 1.0 to Release 1.1 or Release 2.0  
or later using a PC Upgrade card. After powering down the system, you  
insert the PC Upgrade Card and turn the power back on. While the system  
upgrades, the bicolor (red/green) power LED on the processor flashes  
green and red alternately. When the upgrade is finished (in about 20  
seconds), the power LED becomes steady green. All of your system and  
extension programming will be saved and ready to work with the new  
release.  
NOTE:  
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card which  
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and  
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA  
Card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS  
to Release 3.0.  
!
WARNING:  
Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating an upgrade.  
Use a PC Card to store Automatic System Answer and Direct Extension  
Dial messages. You can insert the card in either PC Card Slot 1 or PC Card  
Slot 2 of the ACS Processor Module Release 2.0 or later.  
For PARTNER ACS Release 1.1 or later, use a PARTNER Voice  
Messaging PC Card to provide messaging features (store personal  
greeting and store and retrieve callers’ messages) for up to four mailboxes.

Overview  
System Capacity  
The PARTNER ACS release you have, the carrier you use, and the combination of  
modules installed, determine the number of available lines and extensions:  
For PARTNER ACS Release 1.0 and 1.1, the carrier you use and the  
combination of 200, 206 and 400 modules installed, determine the number  
of available lines and extensions. The system allows up to 15 lines and up  
to 32 extensions; however, these maximums cannot be achieved  
simultaneously.

extension capacity.  
System Mode  
The system supports two modes of operation. The mode of operation determines  
how users access outside lines from their phones:  
Key Mode. Users access individual outside lines to make and receive  
calls.  
Hybrid Mode. For 2.0 or later, users can access individual outside lines as  
in Key mode. However, you also can create up to four groups, or pools, of  
multiple outside lines. When the user accesses a pool to make a call, the  
system selects an available line from the pool. Since multiple lines are  
associated with the pool, the user does not know which line within the pool  
is being used to make the call.  
System mode is determined by the configuration of the processor module. By  
default, the system is configured for Key mode. Changing to Hybrid mode requires  
modifying the processor module. Only Lucent Technologies Authorized Personnel  
can modify the processor module to accommodate Hybrid mode.  
The mode for your system must be decided upon before installation, and in the  
continental U.S., the mode must be registered with the Federal Communications  
Commission (FCC) (see ‘‘FCC Registration’’ later in this section).

Overview  
Key Mode  
When the system operates in Key mode, individual outside lines are assigned to  
users’ extensions for making and receiving calls. At extensions with system  
phones, each individual line (Line 1, Line 2, Line 3, etc.) assigned to the extension  
is represented by its own line button. Users can press any of the available line  
buttons on their system phones to make outside calls. (Standard phone users  
must dial 9 at intercom dial tone to make an outside call since their phones do not  
have line buttons.)  
Key mode enables users to easily join calls since each line button can be labeled  
using a unique line number. For example, if you are requested to join a call on  
Line 2, you simply press the line button labeled “Line 2.” Key mode also lets users  
monitor call activity using the lights next to the line button—everyone who has a  
specific line assigned to their extension can tell when an incoming call is ringing  
on that line, when a call on that line is on hold, and when that line is in use.  
At installation, the system assigns outside lines to the buttons on all system  
phones from left to right, starting with the bottom row of buttons. On an extension  
basis, you can change which lines are assigned and which buttons are used to  
select the lines, if desired.  
All extensions in a system configured for Key mode are referred to as key  
extensions.  
Hybrid Mode  
Hybrid mode offers users flexibility in accessing outside lines from their phones.  
As in Key mode, individual lines can be assigned to system extensions.  
Additionally, multiple outside lines can be grouped together in pools. The system  
can have up to four pools, including a main pool and three auxiliary pools. Each  
pool is identified by a pool access code —880, 881, 882, and 883 respectively.  
Pools are represented on system phones by pool buttons. Unlike line buttons, pool  
buttons give users access to multiple lines from a single button. Each auxiliary  
pool is associated with only one pool button. Since the main pool typically  
contains most of your company’s outside lines, it is associated with two pool  
buttons. This setup allows the user to place a call using one of the main pool  
buttons, put that call on hold, and make another call using the second main pool  
button. Or, the user can establish a conference call using lines in the main pool.  
The main pool and each auxiliary pool can be assigned to an extension, for a  
maximum of five pool buttons.  
System phone users can press any of the available pool buttons on their phones  
or they can enter the pool access code at intercom dial tone to make an outside  
call. (Standard phone users must dial 9 or enter the pool access code at intercom  
dial tone to access a pool since their phones do not have pool buttons.) After the  
user presses a pool button or enters a pool access code, the system selects a free  
line from the pool for the user to make the call. A user can access a pool as long  
as there is at least one available line in the pool.

System Components  
A major benefit of Hybrid mode is that it allows users who have system phones  
with fewer buttons to have access to multiple outside lines and various types of  
pools. You can make efficient use of outside lines by grouping those of a similar  
type or function together. For example, you can create an auxiliary pool of WATS  
or international lines and assign the pools to different groups of users.  
Additionally, individual lines can be assigned to a manager’s extension so that he  
or she always has access to an outside line.  
In Hybrid mode, extension 10 always operates like an extension in Key mode. This  
means that every outside line in the system is associated with a specific line  
button at extension 10.  
All other extensions can be set up with access to only lines, only pools, or a  
combination of lines and pools:  
Those extensions that have pool buttons, even if they also have individual  
line buttons, are called pooled extensions.  
Those extensions that have only line buttons (including extension 10) are  
called key extensions. Key extensions cannot access pools.  
If your system is configured for Hybrid mode, keep in mind:  
A line can be assigned to only one pool.  
Individual extensions can be restricted access to specific pools.  
Individual lines can be assigned to an extension with pool buttons as long  
as the lines are not part of any pool.  
At installation, the system assigns all outside lines to the main pool and assigns  
the main pool to the two leftmost buttons on the bottom row of all system phones,  
except extension 10. If desired, you can remove some of the lines from the main  
pool and create auxiliary pools. Then, you can assign pools and/or individual lines  
on a per extension basis.  
FCC Registration  
In the continental U.S., your system’s mode of operation must be registered with  
the FCC as either KF (Key Function) for Key or MF (Multifunction) for Hybrid. If the  
system is registered as KF, no outside lines can be pooled; if the system is  
registered as MF, lines can be pooled and individual lines also can be assigned  
directly to line buttons.

Overview  
Telephones  
System Telephones  
This guide refers to Lucent Technologies telephones specifically designed to work  
with the system as system phones. These include the PARTNER-34D,  
PARTNER-18D, PARTNER-18, and PARTNER-6 telephones. You can also use  
MLS-34D, MLS-18D, MLS-12D, MLS-12, MLS-6, MLC-6, and the TransTalk©  
9000-series wireless phones, including MDW 9000, MDW 9010, MDW 9030P and  
MDW 9031P. Pocketphone, although they are not discussed in this guide. For  
information about an MLS-model, MLC-model, or TransTalk 9000-series phone,  
refer to the documentation that came with the phone.  
System phones have several buttons in common: volume control buttons and the  
f, C, A, h,! and S buttons. In addition, each phone has  
programmable buttons that can be used for outside lines, pools, extension  
numbers, outside phone numbers, or system features. Outside lines and pools, as  
well as some system features, require buttons with status lights. Programmable  
buttons without lines or pools assigned to them can be programmed with numbers  
or features, so you can use the feature or dial the number with one touch. The  
number in each PARTNER-model name indicates the number of programmable  
buttons with status lights and two i buttons.  
If the PARTNER-model phone has a display, indicated by a “D” in the model name,  
users receive messages and prompts when making calls and when programming.  
(More information about the display is provided in Chapter 5.) A system display  
phone is required for system programming.  
Valid system extensions depend on which release of PARTNER ACS you have.  
Release 1.x extensions are 10 – 41. Release 2.x or later extensions are 10 – 49.  
Throughout this guide, all references to “system extensions” are within these  
release-dependent ranges.  
Valid system lines also depend on which release of PARTNER ACS you are using.  
With System 1.x, system line capacities are 01 to 15. With Release 2.0 or later,  
system line capacities are 01 to 19. Throughout this guide, all references to  
“system lines” are within these release-dependent ranges.

Overview  
Intercom Autodialers  
PARTNER-model system phones support the PARTNER-CA48 Call Assistant  
Intercom Autodialer at extensions 10 and 11. The autodialer provides Auto Dial  
buttons for all of the extensions in your system. The status lights next to each  
button also indicate calling activity at that extension. Users can program the Auto  
Dial buttons for either intercom ringing, voice signaling, or manual signaling. (Note  
that each user can have only one Auto Dial button—either on the system phone or  
on the autodialer—for another extension in the system.) The Auto Dial buttons  
allow the user to dial, signal, or transfer calls to system extensions with one touch.  
For more information about Auto Dial buttons, see ‘‘Auto Dialing’’ on page 5-17.  
Standard Telephones  
You can also use industry-standard single-line rotary or touch-tone telephones,  
including feature phones with built-in feature buttons and lights, with the system.  
This guide refers to such telephones as standard phones. Lucent  
Technologies-certified standard phones are recommended.  
The following Lucent Technologies phones can make use of the system’s  
message-waiting capability:  
2500 YMGL Single-Line Analog Telephone Set  
8101 Analog Telephone  
8101M Analog Telephone (This model is recommended.)  
8102 Analog Telephone  
8110 Analog Telephone  
7102 Plus Analog Voice Terminal  
Check with your local Lucent Technologies Representative or local Authorized  
Dealer to find out whether other standard phones with message-waiting lights will  
work.  
NOTE:  
For message waiting capability, you must connect standard phones with  
LED-compatible message-waiting lights, to a PARTNER ACS processor  
module, 308EC module, or to Release 3.0 (R3.0) or later 206 modules. This  
message-waiting capability does not work with standard phones with  
neon-type message-waiting lights.

Auxiliary Equipment  
Auxiliary Equipment  
You can connect many types of telecommunications devices to your system  
without expensive adapters or additional phone lines—for example, answering  
machines, credit card scanners, and fax machines. Many industry-standard,  
single-line devices will work with the system regardless, of the manufacturer.  
For more information, refer to the list in Chapter 4 or contact your Lucent  
Technologies Representative or local Authorized Dealer. Also, see Chapter 4 for  
advice on setting up auxiliary equipment to work effectively with the system.  
Requirements  
An industry-standard device must meet the following conditions:  
It must be nonproprietary; that is, it cannot be made specifically for use on  
a particular telephone system. (For example, you cannot connect a Lucent  
Technologies MERLIN LEGEND® Communication System phone because  
it is specifically designed for use on a MERLIN LEGEND Communication  
System.)  
Its Ringer Equivalence Number (REN1) cannot be greater than 2.0. (The  
REN is shown on a label on the device, usually on the bottom.)  
You can connect a standard two-line device to the system, but for best  
results it should be installed and used as if it were a single-line device.  
Connecting Standard Devices  
You can connect a standard device so that it is on an extension by itself, or so that  
it shares an extension with another piece of equipment (either another standard  
device or a system phone) as long as the REN of the two devices together does  
not exceed 2.0. (System phones have 0.0 REN.) For example, you can connect a  
standard phone and an answering machine to the same extension. An extension  
with two devices connected to it is called a combination extension. You cannot  
connect two system phones on one extension. The PARTNER Advanced  
Communications System Installation guide provides installation instructions.  
1.  
REN is a measure of the power it takes to ring a phone. The typical home phone line  
supports 4.0–5.0 RENs; each extension jack in your system handles up to 2.0 RENs.

Programming  
Overview  
After the system hardware is installed, you can customize the system and  
individual telephones. This chapter explains how to use programming to  
accomplish that.  
There are two types of programming:  
System Programming allows you to customize the system to meet the  
needs of your business. When the system is first installed, it uses factory  
settings that reflect the most commonly used options. You can change  
system settings as needed.  
You can perform System Programming from either extension 10 or 11.  
Because an extension cannot be in programming mode and handle calls at  
the same time, consider using extension 11 for programming. Doing so  
gives you the ability to program without disrupting call handling by the  
receptionist at extension 10.  
Telephone Programming allows telephones to be customized to meet  
individual users’ needs. Individual telephones can be programmed either  
from extension 10 or 11 (Centralized Telephone Programming), or from a  
user’s extension using a system phone (Extension Programming).  
A system display phone is required for System and Centralized Telephone  
Programming. If you have any 34-button phones in the system, you must use a  
34-button display phone to program since an 18-button phone cannot be used to  
program a 34-button phone. Also, if your system has both PARTNER-model and  
MLS-model phones, it is recommended that you use a PARTNER-model display  
phone at the programming extension.  
The system permits programming from a remote location using a Remote  
Administration Unit—see ‘‘Remote Programming’’ on page 2-25.

Programming  
NOTE:  
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which  
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and  
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA  
card, which can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER  
ACS to Release 3.0.  
!
WARNING:  
Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating an upgrade.  
This chapter provides general information about programming procedures. When  
a specific feature name is used, it is printed in bold type. For detailed descriptions  
and step-by-step instructions, refer to that name in Chapter 5. (A Programming  
Quick Reference is provided at the end of this book.)  
Hardware Considerations  
Programming procedures use line and extension numbers. The line number  
represents the line jack on a 200, 206, 308EC, or 400 module or an ACS  
processor module to which the outside line is connected. Similarly, the extension  
number represents the extension jack on a 206 or 308EC module or an ACS  
processor module to which the system phone or standard device is connected.  
For the 200 module, the system assigns two lines.  
For each 206 module, the system assigns two lines and six extensions; for the  
308EC or ACS processor module, the system assigns three lines and eight  
extensions; for each 400 module, the system assigns four lines. The system  
numbers lines and extensions consecutively from left to right in a 2-Slot carrier,  
beginning with the ACS processor module in the leftmost slot; in a 5-Slot carrier,  
the numbering also begins with the ACS processor module (in the center slot),  
and then moves to the leftmost module and continues consecutively from left to  
right.  
Figure 2-1 shows the numbering scheme for a PARTNER ACS stand-alone  
configuration, for a 2-Slot carrier, and for a 5-Slot carrier, each with the system  
configured for maximum lines. Figure 2-2 shows the numbering scheme for a  
PARTNER ACS stand-alone configuration, for a 2-Slot carrier, and for a 5-Slot  
carrier, each with the system configured for maximum extensions. However, your  
system can have any number of lines or extensions up to the maximum.

Programming  
Initial System Setup  
After the control unit is installed, you set up the system using a combination of  
system and telephone programming procedures. In this guide, System  
Programming procedures are identified by a code (# and three digits); Telephone  
Programming procedures are identified by the feature name only.  
Use the System Planner as a guide when programming. The following sections  
provide an overview of the procedures you use for initial system setup. Chapter 5  
explains how to use the specific procedures. Other programming procedures are  
optional, but are strongly recommended to make the most of your investment.  
details.)  
Setting the System Clock  
After supplying power to the control unit, use the following procedures:  
System Date (#101) to set the month and day.  
System Day (#102) to set the day of the week.  
System Time (#103) to set the hour and minutes.  
Assigning Lines  
Key Extensions  
Use the procedures described in this section to assign individual lines to pooled  
extensions or assign lines to key extensions. (In Key mode, all extensions are Key  
extensions; in Hybrid mode, extension 10 and any extensions set to Key using  
Line Access Mode (#313) are key extensions.)  
For initial setup only, use Number of Lines (#104) to specify the number of lines  
that will be assigned to all system extensions. Then use the following procedures  
as needed:  
Dial Mode (#201) to identify any rotary lines (the default for all lines is  
“touch-tone”).  
Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines to specific extensions (if the line  
was not assigned using the Number of Lines procedure), to remove lines  
from some extensions, or to change the button used to pick up a line at a  
specific extension.  
Line Access Restriction (#302) to prevent an extension from receiving  
and/or making outside calls on specific lines.  
2-4

Initial System Setup  
Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when a line  
will start ringing at each extension that has the line. For additional  
information about line ringing options, see ‘‘Programming a Receptionist’s  
Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone Programming) to  
specify the order in which the system selects an available line (intercom or  
outside), when a user at the extension lifts the handset or presses S to  
make a call without first selecting a specific line button.  
For extensions with standard phones, set Automatic Line Selection to  
intercom first. This enables standard phones to access system features,  
including intercom calling. When users lift the handsets on standard  
phones, they hear intercom dial tone. To access an outside line, they must  
dial 9.  
Pooled Extensions (Release 2.0 or later)  
Use the procedures described in this section if your system is configured for  
Hybrid mode to change the assignment of lines in pools and to assign auxiliary  
pools to or remove the main pool from pooled extensions. If a pooled extension  
also has an individual line, refer to ‘‘Key Extensions’’ to assign that individual line.  
For initial setup only, use Number of Lines (#104) to specify the number of lines  
that will be assigned to the main pool. Then, use the following procedures as  
needed:  
Dial Mode (#201) to identify any rotary lines (the default for all lines is  
“touch-tone”).  
Pool Line Assignment (#207) to remove lines from the main pool and  
assign lines to auxiliary pools.  
Line Access Mode (#313) to change a specific extension’s operation from  
Pooled to Key. Refer to ‘‘Key Extensions’’ to assign lines to those  
extensions.  
Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to remove the main pool, assign  
auxiliary pools, or change the location of the button used to select an  
auxiliary pool at specific extensions. (The location of the two main pool  
buttons cannot be changed.)  
Pool Access Restriction (#315) to prevent an extension from receiving  
and/or making outside calls on all lines in specific pools.  
Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when a line  
or pool will start ringing at each extension that has the line or pool. By  
default, lines are set to Immediate Ring and pools are set to No Ring. For  
additional information on line ringing options, see ‘‘Programming a

Programming  
Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone Programming) to  
specify the order in which the system selects an available line or pool,  
when a user at the extension lifts the handset or presses S to make a  
call.  
For extensions with standard phones, set Automatic Line Selection to  
intercom first. This enables standard phones to access equipment features,  
including intercom calling. When users lift the handsets on standard  
phones, they hear intercom dial tone. To access a pool, they can dial the  
pool access code 880, 881, 882, or 883 or dial 9 to access the first  
available line or pool in the sequence.  
Customizing Extensions  
In addition to line or pool assignments, the following procedures can be used to  
customize an extension:  
Line Coverage Extension (#208) to identify an extension as the “owner”  
of a specific outside line. A user at the extension can activate Call  
Coverage or VMS Cover for the specified line. Use Call Coverage Rings  
(#116) or (#320) to specify the number of times a call should ring at the  
owner’s extension before it is sent to the covering extension or VMS Cover  
Rings (#117) or (#321) to specify the number of times a call should ring at  
the owner’s extension before it is sent to the owner’s voice mailbox.  
Caller ID Call Log Line Association (#318) to select the lines to associate  
with extensions for logging unanswered calls. Users can view the Caller ID  
information for unanswered calls on the phone’s display panel and autodial  
the numbers of the unanswered calls.  
Display Language (#303) to specify the language (English, French, or  
Spanish) for messages that appear on a system display phone.  
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to prevent other extensions with the  
same line from joining a call at the extension. This feature is also useful for  
extensions connected to a modem, fax, or any device whose function can  
be disrupted by someone trying to join it.  
Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to prevent the extension from making  
an outside call until a required account code is entered. You can also use  
Forced Account Code List (#409) to create a list of valid account codes;  
this ensures that only authorized users with valid account codes can make  
outside calls.  
Call Waiting (#316) to identify standard phone extensions that can receive  
the system (not the local telephone company) call-waiting tone for a  
second incoming call when active on a call.  
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to prevent the extension from making  
certain types of outgoing calls (on all system lines).

Changing Settings after Installation  
Disallowed List Assignments (#405) to assign one or more Disallowed  
Phone Number Lists to the extension. Use Disallowed Phone Number  
Lists (#404) to create the lists of outside numbers that extensions cannot  
dial.  
Allowed List Assignments (#408) to assign one or more Allowed Phone  
Number Lists to the extension. Use Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407)  
to create the lists of outside numbers that otherwise-restricted extensions  
can dial.  
Pickup Group Extensions (#501), Calling Group Extensions (#502),  
Night Service Group Extensions (#504), and Hunt Group Extensions  
(#505) to place the extension in any of these groups. See ‘‘Setting Up  
Groups of Extensions’’ for more information.  
Fax Machine Extensions (#601), Doorphone Extension (#604 and  
#605), Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606), AA Extensions (#607),  
External Hotline (#311), or Hotline (#603) to identify the extension as one  
of these equipment types.  
‘‘Setting Up Auxiliary Equipment’’ provides an overview of the procedures  
you use for setting up devices such as voice messaging systems and call  
reporting devices. Also, Chapter 4 provides detailed information and  
example applications for auxiliary equipment.  
Copy Settings  
The recommended way to set up your system is to program one extension for  
each type of phone in the system, then use Copy Settings (#399) to program  
other phones of the same type. For example, you can program one  
PARTNER-18D phone and then copy its settings to any other extensions that have  
PARTNER-18D or PARTNER-18 phones. See ‘‘Copy Settings (#399)’’ for a list of  
the programmed settings that are copied.  
Changing Settings after Installation  
As your business grows or changes, you will probably need to change the way  
your system was originally programmed. This section provides some examples  
and lists the procedures you would use to change settings after installation. For  
specific details on a procedure, refer to the procedure name in Chapter 5.  
If you are upgrading to PARTNER ACS Release 1.1 or 2.0 or later from an earlier  
release using the PC Card upgrade, all of your system programming settings will  
be converted to work with the new release. However, you may want to consider  
some additional programming for the features that are new in Release 2.0 or  
Release 3.0.

PARTNER ACS’’ in this section.  
For more information on using the PARTNER Voice Messaging PC card, see  
PARTNER Voice Messaging PC Card Installation, Programming and Use.  
Changing the System Clock  
You may need to change the system clock for daylight saving time, after a  
prolonged power failure, or after a system reset. Use System Date (#101),  
System Day (#102), and System Time (#103) to set the current date, day, and  
time.  
Adding New Lines  
Key Extensions  
Use this section to add individual lines to pooled extensions or to add new lines to  
key extensions (all extensions in Key mode; in Hybrid mode, extension 10 and any  
extensions set to Key using Line Access Mode (#301) are key extensions.)  
If you add an outside line to your system, you may need to adjust some line  
settings. In particular, use Dial Mode (#201) if the new line is a rotary line, Line  
Assignment (#301) to assign the line to specific extensions, Line Ringing  
(Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when the line will start ringing at  
each extension that has the line, and Line Access Restriction (#302) to limit an  
extension’s access to the line. Additionally, the system automatically assigns the  
new line as the last line in the Automatic Line Selection sequence. If you want to  
change the order, use Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone  
Programming).  
IMPORTANT:  
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) if you add lines to the system after initial  
setup, because it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction  
(#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for existing lines back to  
factory settings. To add a new line without affecting other settings, use Line  
Assignment (#301).

Programming  
Pooled Extensions  
Use this section to add new lines to existing pools if your system is configured for  
Hybrid mode. To assign a new line to a pooled extension as an individual line,  
follow the procedures in “Key Extensions.”  
If you add an outside line to your system for use in an existing pool, use Dial  
Mode (#201) if the new line is a rotary line and Pool Line Assignment (#207) to  
add the line to an existing pool.  
IMPORTANT:  
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) if you add lines to the system after initial  
setup, because it changes Pool Line Assignment (#207), Pool Extension  
Assignment (#314), Pool Access Restriction (#315), Automatic Line  
Selection, and Line Ringing for existing pools back to factory settings.  
Additionally, it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction  
(#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for individual lines back to  
factory settings. To change pool assignments without affecting other settings, use  
Pool Line Assignment (#207) and Pool Extension Assignment (#314).  
Adding New Pools  
Use this section if your system is configured for Hybrid mode to create new pools.  
If you add outside lines to your system for use in a new pool, use Dial Mode  
(#201) if the new lines are rotary lines, Pool Line Assignment (#207) to assign  
lines to the new pool, Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign the new pool  
to specific extensions, Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to  
specify when the new pool will start ringing at each extension that has the pool,  
and Pool Access Restriction (#315) to limit an extension’s access to all the lines  
in the new pool. Also use Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone  
Programming) to add the new pool to the extension’s Automatic Line Selection  
sequence.  
Adding New Extensions  
If you add an extension to your system, you can probably use Copy Settings  
(#399) to copy the settings of an existing extension. If you wish to further adjust a  
new extension’s settings, see ‘‘Customizing Extensions’’.  
Swapping Extensions  
If a user changes location, but wants to keep the same extension number, you can  
make the change easily by changing the connection at the control unit.  
For example, if the users at extensions 29 and 32 switch offices, you can  
disconnect the modular plugs from those extension jacks in the control unit. Then  
reconnect the plug from 32 into extension jack 29 and the plug from 29 into  
extension jack 32. Now the users can take their respective phones to their new

locations, keep the same extension numbers, and retain the phones’ programmed  
settings.  
Changing Settings to Support  
PBX or Centrex Services  
This section applies only if you use PBX or Centrex services with your system. If it  
does not apply, go to the next section, “System Programming Options.”  
PBX services are provided by a private telephone switch.  
Centrex services are provided by your local telephone company from a  
Central Office (CO) outside your premises. These services include the  
Centrex lines connected to your control unit modules and some set of  
features—such as hold, conference, or transfer—that are available on  
those lines. Centrex services may be offered in your area under a different  
name. For specific Centrex features to be available to you, your company  
must subscribe to those features. For specific information about using  
Centrex, see the Centrex documentation provided by your local telephone  
company.  
Some of the issues you should consider when setting up your system to work  
effectively behind a PBX or Centrex system are discussed below. Chapter 5  
explains how to use the programming procedures discussed here.  
Recall Setting  
To set up your equipment to work properly with a PBX or Centrex system, first set  
Recall Timer Duration (#107) to match the setting used by your PBX or Centrex  
system (usually 800 msec, or “32”). This setting affects the length of a Recall  
signal sent by the control unit to access PBX or Centrex services.  
Dialing Restrictions  
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) is an equipment restriction intended to limit an  
extension’s dialing to “inside calls only” (using the i buttons on system  
phones) or to “inside and local calls only” (allowing calls within the PBX or Centrex  
system and local calls outside the PBX or Centrex system). However, if users in  
your system use a dial-out code (9 on most PBX or Centrex systems) before  
dialing numbers outside the PBX or Centrex system, the equipment will not be  
able to prevent toll calls for extensions restricted to “inside and local calls only”  
[unless you use Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) to prevent dialing to  
specific classes of numbers].  
If your PBX or Centrex system includes dialing restrictions, use those instead of  
the equipment restrictions. If you have PBX or Centrex dialing restrictions on a line  
and also program equipment restrictions, both the PBX or Centrex system and  
2-11

Programming  
equipment restrictions apply. However, equipment dialing permissions will not  
override PBX or Centrex system restrictions.  
Speed Dial and Auto Dial Numbers  
When you program numbers outside the PBX or Centrex system as Speed Dial  
and Auto Dial numbers, include the PBX or Centrex system dial-out code (9 on  
most systems), followed by one or more pauses, in the stored number.  
System Programming Options  
This section discusses programming options that involve multiple procedures  
(such as dialing restrictions and auxiliary equipment settings), as well as features  
that can be used throughout your system (such as Speed Dialing). You can use a  
combination of programming procedures to set up your system to operate most  
efficiently, taking into account your company’s telephone service, personnel, and  
equipment, as well as the special needs of particular departments. This section  
lists the procedures you can use. For details on using a particular procedure, refer  
to the procedure name in Chapter 5.  
Speed Dialing  
You can program up to 100 frequently dialed phone numbers—such as numbers  
for suppliers, repair services, customers—so that all users in the system can dial  
them by pressing four buttons: f (or # on a standard phone) plus a  
three-digit code. These are called System Speed Dial Numbers.  
Dialing Restrictions and Permissions  
The system has several procedures for restricting telephone use, and several for  
overriding those restrictions. You can use any combination of these procedures to  
design a system that meets your needs.  
When a user makes a call, the system checks the number dialed against all of the  
dialing that apply to the extension making the call. When the number dialed  
passes a restriction, the system goes to the next restriction, if necessary. If Star  
Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, star codes are also checked against the  
restrictions. (Star codes, typically dialed before an outgoing call, provide special  
services from the local telephone company Central Office (CO); for example, *  
6 7 enables a dialer to block the sending of Caller ID information to the called  
party.) When a user dials a star code, the system checks it against the dialing  
restrictions to determine whether the code is allowed. If the code is allowed, the  
system resets its checking procedure and checks the remaining digits that the  
user dialed to make sure the call is permitted. When a number violates a  
restriction, the call is stopped and the user hears a reorder tone (fast busy signal).

System Programming Options  
IMPORTANT:  
While procedures that restrict dialing are very effective, absolute protection  
against misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones provide more protection  
than standard phones. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you install  
system phones where restricting phone use is important.  
Locking an Extension  
The system offers a Station Lock feature that lets users enter a four-digit code on  
their telephone dialpad to lock their extensions. This helps prevent other users  
from making outside calls at those extensions, or from screening calls.  
Restricting Access to Outside Lines or Pools  
A user can access a line or pool either by lifting the handset, pressing the line or  
pool button on the phone, or dialing the Direct Line Pickup feature code or a pool  
access code. If you do not want a user to access a specific outside line or pool,  
you can use Line Access Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315)  
to control an extension’s access to a certain line or pool (whether the line or pool  
is assigned to the extension or not). Table 2-1 provides examples of settings that  
can be used to restrict an extension’s access to specific outside lines or pools.  
NOTE:  
If Forced Account Code Entry (#307) is programmed for an extension, that  
extension is required to enter an account code before dialing an outside  
number—even those on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406)—on  
all of the lines or pools assigned to that extension. If the Forced Account  
Code List (#409) contains entries, the system checks the account code  
against the list. If the account code is on the list, line or pool access is  
allowed; if not, line or pool access is denied.  
With Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can dial  
numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) without entering  
an account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code  
extensions without entering the account code as long as 911 has been  
entered into the Emergency Phone Number List (#406).

If a line or pool is not assigned to the extension, a user can use Direct Line Pickup to  
access the line or dial the pool access code to access a line in the pool. Emergency  
numbers, Marked System Speed Dial numbers, Allowed Phone numbers, and numbers  
dialed using the System Password, override all dialing restrictions if a user has access to  
an outside line or pool to place the call. If Forced Account Code Entry is programmed for an  
extension, the user must enter an account code before accessing an outside line or pool. If  
there are entries in the Forced Account Code List, the entered account code must match an  
entry on that list. With Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can dial  
numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List without entering an account code. Users  
can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code extensions without entering the account  
code as long as 911 has been entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.  
Controlling Calls on Outside Lines  
When an extension is allowed access to an outside line or pool, you can use the  
following procedures to control calling:  
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) defines the type of calls (inside only,  
local only, or inside, local, and long-distance) that users can make from all  
lines or pools available at an extension. Outgoing Call Restriction Button  
(#114) allows the receptionist at extension 10 to quickly change an  
extension’s current Outgoing Call Restriction setting.  
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404) creates up to eight lists of  
numbers that cannot be dialed. After creating Disallowed Phone Number  
Lists, use Disallowed List Assignments (#405) to assign one or more  
lists to a specific extension.

or dial the pool access code to access a line in the pool. Emergency numbers, Marked System  
Speed Dial numbers, Allowed Phone numbers, and numbers dialed using the System Password  
override all dialing restrictions if a user has access to an outside line or pool to place the call. If  
Forced Account Code Entry is programmed for an extension, the user must enter an account code  
before accessing an outside line or pool. If there are entries in the Forced Account Code List, the  
entered account code must match an entry on that list. With Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account  
Code extensions can dial numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List without entering an  
account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code extensions without entering  
the account code as long as 911 has been entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.

Programming  
Overriding Dialing Restrictions  
The following programming procedures provide ways to override all dialing  
restrictions, provided the user has access to an outside line or pool:  
Emergency Phone Number List (#406) defines a list of up to ten numbers  
that can be dialed from any extension. A typical number is 911.  
Marked System Speed Dial Numbers are specially identified System  
Speed Dial numbers, which a user can dial by pressing f (or # on a  
standard phone) followed by a three-digit code.  
System Password (#403) creates a password that can be entered at any  
PARTNER-model or MLS-model system phone to override dialing  
restrictions for the duration of a call. The system password should be  
changed periodically to prevent unauthorized use and toll fraud.  
To override all dialing restrictions except Line Access Restriction (#302), Pool  
Access Restriction, and Night Service with System Password (#403), use  
Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407) to create up to eight lists of outside  
numbers that otherwise-restricted extensions can dial. Then use Allowed List  
Assignments (#408) to assign one or more of the lists to an extension.  
Setting Up Groups of Extensions  
You can set up four types of extension groups:  
Pickup Group Extensions (#501) assigns extensions to one of four  
Pickup Groups. A Pickup Group lets any user in the system answer outside  
calls for any extension in that group.  
Calling Group Extensions (#502) assigns extensions to one of four  
Calling Groups. A Calling Group lets users ring or page all extensions in  
that group simultaneously or transfer calls into the group. (Additionally,  
Simultaneous Paging lets users make announcements over the  
loudspeaker paging system and the speakers of idle system phones  
belonging to Calling Group 1.)  
Night Service Group Extensions (#504) assigns extensions to the Night  
Service Group. When Night Service is activated at extension 10, calls ring  
immediately at Night Service extensions regardless of how they ring at  
other times (only the lines assigned to an extension will ring).  
Hunt Group Extensions (#505) assigns extensions to one of eight Hunt  
Groups. (Hunt Group 7 is used exclusively for the voice messaging system,  
and Hunt Group 8 is used exclusively for fax transfer and fax detection.) A  
Hunt Group lets users ring or voice signal the first available (nonbusy)  
extension in that group. If a ringing call is not answered, the system tries  
each available extension in turn until the call is answered. If a  
voice-signaled call is not answered, the call does not keep hunting. Also  
use Group Call Distribution (#206) to assign outside lines to a Hunt  
Group if you want outside calls to ring directly into a group.

System Programming Options  
Setting Up Auxiliary Equipment  
The following programming procedures help you manage auxiliary equipment.  
See Chapter 4 for more information about auxiliary equipment configurations or  
refer to Chapter 5 for details on using the procedure:  
Fax Machine Extensions (#601) identifies extensions to which fax  
machines are connected.  
The Music-on-Hold feature uses the following procedures:  
Music-on-Hold (#602) activates or deactivates the Music-on-Hold  
jack on the PARTNER ACS processor module.  
— When this jack is activated, an audio source is connected, and Ring  
on Transfer (#119) is set to Not Active, callers hear recorded music  
or messages while being transferred.  
Music-on-Hold Volume (#614) controls the volume at which the  
music plays when the Music-on-Hold jack is active. Changes to this  
setting affect the many features that use Music-on-Hold:  
Background Music lets users with system phones (other than the  
MDC 9000 or TransTalk 9000-series phones) play the recorded  
material through their phone’s speaker when the phone is not in use.  
Hotline (#603) identifies internal hotline extensions, so when a person lifts  
the handset of the hotline phone, a predetermined extension number  
automatically rings. External Hotline (#311) identifies external hotline  
extensions, so when a person lifts the handset of the hotline phone, a  
predetermined outside phone number is automatically dialed.  
Doorphone Extension (#604 and #605) identifies extensions to which  
doorphones are connected. Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606)  
identifies extensions that signal when the doorphone button is pressed.  
The Contact Closure Adjunct, which plugs into a jack on the PARTNER  
ACS processor module and has two Contact Closures that can be used to  
control devices such as an electronic door lock or an alert, uses the  
following procedures:  
Contact Closure Group (#612) specifies which extensions can  
activate one or both of the Contact Closures on the Contact Closure  
Adjunct.  
Contact Closure Operation Type (#613) specifies the length of  
time that each Contact Closure remains active.  
Contact Closure F41 and F42 can be programmed on feature  
buttons so that the Contact Closures can be activated by pressing  
the buttons.

Programming  
AA Extensions (#607) identifies an extension to which an auto attendant  
is connected. This lets the system notify users with display phones when  
they are receiving a call that has been transferred from the auto attendant.  
Also, Transfer Return Extension (#306) lets you identify the extension to  
which a call transferred by the auto attendant should be routed if the  
destination extension does not answer.  
The call reporting device uses the following procedures:  
SMDR Record Type (#608) specifies the type of calls that you want  
to record for call reporting—either all calls or outgoing calls only.  
SMDR Top of Page (#609) notifies the system that the printer has  
been aligned to the top of a new page.  
SMDR Output Format (#610) identifies whether a maximum of 15  
digits or 24 digits is printed for dialed numbers on the call report.  
SMDR Talk Time (#611) specifies whether or not the call report  
includes the Talk field, which records the time a user spends on an  
incoming outside call—from the time the user answers the call to the  
time the call is disconnected from the system.  
Account Code Entry lets users enter account codes for outside  
telephone calls (incoming or outgoing); if used, the account codes  
are included on the call report.  
The voice messaging system uses the following procedures:  
Hunt Group Extensions (#505) assigns the extensions associated  
with the voice messaging system hardware to Hunt Group 7—the  
VMS Hunt Group.  
Group Call Distribution (#206) assigns lines to the VMS Hunt  
Group so calls can ring directly into the voice messaging system  
and receive Automated Attendant Service.  
Line Coverage Extension (#208) identifies an extension as the  
owner of a specific outside line so calls on that line can ring directly  
into the owner’s voice mailbox when either Automatic VMS Cover  
(#310) or VMS Cover (F15) is on at the owner’s extension.  
VMS Hunt Delay (#506) determines when outside calls should be  
answered by the Automated Attendant Service of the voice  
messaging system. The system allows you to assign the number of  
rings (0-6).  
VMS Hunt Schedule (#507) determines when outside calls should  
ring the VMS Hunt Group (always, day only, or night only) depending  
on the status of the Night Service Button (#503) at extension 10.  
Automatic VMS Cover (#310) determines whether or not an  
extension’s unanswered intercom and transferred calls and outside  
calls on lines assigned ownership are automatically covered by the  
voice messaging system.

System Programming Options  
Call Coverage Rings (#116 in Release 2.0 or #320 in Release  
3.0) specifies the number of times intercom or transferred calls or  
outside calls on lines assigned ownership ring at extensions before  
they are sent to the covering extension.  
VMS Cover Rings (#117 in Release 2.0 or #321 in Release 3.0)  
specifies the number of times intercom and transferred calls or  
outside calls on lines assigned ownership ring at extensions before  
they are sent to the voice messaging system.  
Transfer Return Extension (#306) identifies the extension to which  
a call transferred by the voice messaging system should be routed if  
the destination extension does not answer and does not have voice  
mail coverage active. (The transfer return extension for the voice  
messaging system is typically extension 10.)  
NOTE:  
If an extension has VMS Cover and Call Coverage active, intercom and transferred  
calls and outside calls on lines assigned ownership ring at the covering extension after  
the specified number of Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320). Then:  
If the covering extension does not answer, the call is routed after the  
specified number of VMS Cover Rings (#117) or (#321) to the voice  
mailbox of the extension that activated Call Coverage.  
If the covering extension has Do Not Disturb active, the call is immediately  
routed to the voice mailbox of the extension that activated Call Coverage.  
Backup and Restore Features  
The PARTNER ACS processor module has two PC Card slots. These slots  
function similarly to a floppy drive on a PC, in that information can be added to the  
system or copied from the system using a PC Card inserted in one of the slots. To  
use the optional Backup and Restore features of the system, you must purchase a  
Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies. Only these Lucent  
Technologies PC Cards can be used in the PARTNER ACS processor module.  
The same PC Card stores both automatic and manual backups separately.  
NOTE:  
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which  
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and  
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA  
card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS  
to Release 3.0.  
!
WARNING:  
Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating an upgrade.

Programming  
Backup Programming—Automatic (#123) enables you to specify whether  
automatic backups should be performed or not. If you set this feature to “Active,”  
your system and telephone programming settings are backed up to the PC Card  
automatically at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month. The PC Card must be  
present in the PC Card slot for the backup to take place.  
Backup Programming—Manual (#124) enables you to initiate a backup of your  
system and telephone programming settings whenever you feel that it is  
necessary. It is recommended that a backup be performed after any change to the  
system or telephone programming.  
Restore Programming (#125) copies either the manual or the automatic backup  
data stored on a PC Card back to the system, thereby enabling you to restore  
settings to their status at the time of the last automatic or manual backup.  
Hospitality Features  
The following hospitality features are for special applications, such as the  
Bed-and-Breakfast and Hotel/Motel industries. With both features, the receptionist  
at extension 10 optionally can use the Intercom Autodialer to specify an extension.  
Outgoing Call Restriction Button (#114) lets you program a button on  
the system phone at extension 10 to change an extension’s current  
Outgoing Call Restriction setting without entering System Programming  
mode. For example, after a guest’s departure, a hotel manager can change  
the No Restriction setting of the guest room phone to Inside Only so  
outside calls cannot be made from the phone after the guest checks out.  
Wake Up Service Button (#115) lets you program a button on the system  
phone at extension 10 to be used for scheduling wake up (or reminder)  
calls for system extensions. When a wake up call is scheduled, the system  
makes an intercom call to the target extension at the scheduled time. If the  
first call is not answered or the called extension is busy, the system makes  
a second attempt five minutes later.  
Using System Programming  
System Programming changes settings for the system as a whole, or for individual  
lines, pools, or extensions. You can also use System Programming to set up  
dialing restrictions, define groups, or set up auxiliary equipment. Refer to the  
filled-out System Planner when you are changing system settings, and be sure  
that any changes in programming are recorded there.

Using System Programming  
Programming Overlays  
System Programming requires a Programming Overlay placed over the dialpad of  
the system display phone at extension 10 or 11. (Overlays are provided with the  
system documentation. Replacements can be ordered from the Lucent  
Technologies BCS Publications Center. See "Reference Materials" under "Product  
Ordering Information" on page B-4.) Figure 2-3 on page 2-22 illustrates the  
Programming Overlays for the PARTNER-34D and PARTNER-18D phones.  
During System Programming, the normal functions of several buttons on the  
display phone at extension 10 or 11 change. For example, the left i button  
becomes s and the right i button becomes c. The  
Programming Overlay identifies these buttons.  
You use the following special buttons while programming:  
N and P cycle forward and backward through the  
programming procedures. You can use these buttons to select a procedure.  
(If a procedure instructs you to press N P, pressing  
these buttons one after the other enables you to repeat the current  
programming procedure.)  
n and p cycle forward and backward through a procedure’s  
parameters. A parameter is typically an outside line, a pool, an extension,  
or a telephone list entry.  
D and d cycle forward and backward through the valid  
entries. These buttons work only for fixed data, such as a line or extension  
number. They do not work for variable data such as date, time, password,  
telephone numbers, or doorphone assignments.  
r returns the current setting to the factory setting. When using Line  
Assignment (#301), removes lines from an extension; when using Pool  
Extension Assignment (#314), removes pools from an extension.  
e ends an entry of variable length, such as a telephone number in an  
Allowed Phone Number List.  
s starts the System Programming process.  
c starts the Centralized Telephone Programming process (to  
customize individual telephones centrally from extension 10 or 11).  
f when followed by 0 0, enters or exits programming mode.  
w enters a “wildcard” (a character that matches any digit dialed) in  
telephone numbers in Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407), Disallowed  
Phone Number Lists (#404), and the Forced Account Code List (#409).

Button Locations  
When programming from a PARTNER-model phone at extension 10 or 11, keep in  
mind that the button you press at the programming extension may be in a different  
location on the phone to which the programming applies. Figure 2-4 on page 2-24  
shows the relative location of buttons on each PARTNER-model phone.  
2-22

Using System Programming  
For example, the button labeled E on the PARTNER-34D phone in Figure 2-4 is in  
the bottom row. The equivalent button on the PARTNER-18D phone is in the  
leftmost position of the second row from the bottom. If your system has a mix of  
PARTNER- and MLS-model phones, refer to Appendix E for information about  
programming from a PARTNER-model phone to an MLS-model phone or from an  
MLS-model phone to a PARTNER-model phone.  
Programming Mode  
1. Place the Programming Overlay over the dialpad of the system display  
phone at extension 10 or 11—see ‘‘Programming Overlays’’ for more  
information.  
2. To enter programming mode, press f 0 0. A display similar to the  
following appears:  
PROGRAM EXTENSION 10  
(If you are programming from extension 11, “11" displays instead of “10.”)  
3. Press s. A display similar to the following appears:  
10 Enter Extension Name  
This display is for the Extension Name Display feature. When you are  
entering System Programming mode, skip it by moving on to Step 4.  
4. Press s again. A display similar to the following appears:  
SYSTEM PROGRAM  
5. Specify a programming procedure in one of two ways:  
Direct Method: Dial the code for that procedure. System  
Programming procedures in this guide are identified by a # and a  
three-digit code (for example, System Date is #101). This method is  
best when you are using only a few procedures during a  
programming session and you know the codes.  
Cycle Method: Cycle through the procedures in numerical order.  
Press N and P to cycle forward and backward  
through the programming procedures. This method is best when you  
are using multiple procedures during a programming session, or if  
you do not know the codes.  
6. To exit programming mode, you can press f 0 0 or lift the handset  
off-hook, then place it back in the cradle.  
NOTE:  
You can talk on the phone while you program. This is useful if you call for  
support while programming. However, you must call before you enter  
programming mode, and you must use the handset to talk, not the speaker  
and microphone.

Upgrading the PARTNER ACS  
Changing Programming Type  
When you are in programming mode, you can move between System  
Programming and Centralized Telephone Programming. To change to Centralized  
Telephone Programming when you are in System Programming, press  
c. To move back to System Programming when you are in Centralized  
Telephone Programming, press c then s.  
Remote Programming  
The system permits programming from a remote location using an auxiliary device  
called the Remote Administration Unit (RAU). Remote programming requires the  
installation of two RAUs—one at your site and one at the location from which the  
programming is to be done. Users of Partner ACS Release 3.0 can also perform  
Remote Programming using Partner ACS Remote Administration software which  
is available separately. For more information about remote programming, see the  
PARTNER Communications System Remote Administration Unit Installation and  
Use guide.  
Upgrading the PARTNER ACS  
If you are upgrading to a later release of PARTNER ACS using a PC card, please  
refer to the PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation guide for  
instructions.  
NOTE:  
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which  
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and  
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA  
card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS  
to Release 3.0.  
!
WARNING:  
Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating an upgrade.  
Telephone Programming Options  
System telephones are ready to use when they are installed, but they can be  
customized to meet the needs of your business and individual users. This  
customization is accomplished through Telephone Programming.

Programming  
Automatic Line Selection  
When a user lifts the telephone’s handset or presses S, the system chooses an  
idle line or pool. Automatic Line Selection determines the order in which the  
system looks for an idle line or pool. You can set the system to look for lines or  
pools in any desired order. For standard phones or for any phone used mainly to  
call other extensions, select an inside (intercom) line first.  
Extension Name on Display  
With Extension Name Display, users can assign a name (up to 20 characters  
long) to their extension. Then, when those users make an intercom call, group  
call, or transfer a call, their name and extension number appears on the display  
phone receiving the call. Similarly, users receiving a transfer return call see the  
name and extension number of the person assigned to the extension that did not  
answer the transferred call.  
Line Ringing  
Line Ringing defines when each outside line or pool rings at a phone. For each  
line or pool at an extension, you can specify Immediate Ring, Delayed Ring  
(phone rings after a 20-second delay), or No Ring. The factory setting for line  
buttons is Immediate ring; the factory setting for pool buttons is No Ring.  
Personal Speed Dialing  
Personal Speed Dial numbers are outside phone numbers that a user dials by  
pressing f (or # on a standard phone) plus a two-digit code. Unlike System  
Speed Dial numbers, which are available to all users in the system, Personal  
Speed Dial numbers are available only at the extension for which they are  
programmed. Users can store up to 20 Personal Speed Dial numbers.  
Programming Telephone Buttons  
Telephone buttons without lines or pools assigned to them can be programmed for  
system features such as Exclusive Hold or Conference Drop or for telephone  
numbers, so you can use the feature or dial the phone number with one touch.  
Once programmed, these buttons are called Auto Dial buttons, because simply  
pressing the button automatically dials the feature code or telephone number.  
A user who has a system phone with programmable buttons should consider  
programming them with a combination of frequently used features and outside  
and intercom telephone numbers.

Telephone Programming Options  
Programming a Receptionist’s Extension  
Call Handling Options  
If you set up a centralized telephone answering position at extension 10, use the  
following settings to customize it:  
Call Answering. If the receptionist should answer all calls, use Line  
Assignment (#301) to assign all lines to extension 10. Set Line Ringing  
for all lines at extension 10 to the desired number of Ring; set the lines  
assigned at each user’s extension to Delayed Ring or No Ring.  
In Hybrid mode, Immediate Call Answering is the factory setting. (Lines are  
assigned as individual line buttons on the phone at extension 10 and all  
pool buttons assigned to users’ extensions are set to No Ring.)  
Backup Call Answering. If the receptionist should answer some lines only  
when a user does not pick up, set Line Ringing for those lines at extension  
10 to Delayed Ring; set the lines or pools assigned at each user’s  
extension to Immediate Ring.  
No Answering. If some lines should not be picked up by the receptionist at  
all, either set Line Ringing for those lines at extension 10 to No Ring or  
simply use Line Assignment (#301) to remove those lines from extension  
10. In either case, set Line Access Restriction (#302) to No Access for  
those lines at extension 10 to prevent the receptionist from using Direct  
Line Pickup to access those lines.  
Backup Answering Options  
To assist the receptionist in handling calls, consider the following features:  
Automatic System Answer. Useful during peak calling periods to answer  
outside calls while the receptionist is busy on other calls. When activated,  
this feature answers incoming calls after a specified number of rings and  
plays a customized greeting. Then, depending on how Automatic System  
Answer Mode (#121) is programmed, the system either:  
— places the call on hold at extension 10 (the light next to the line  
button winks green at extension 10 and winks red at all other  
extensions that have the line); the outside caller hears  
Music-on-Hold, if it is available.  
— continues to ring all extensions that have access to the line (the  
green light next to the line button at those extensions flash); the  
outside caller hears Music-on-Hold, if it is available.  
— disconnects the call.  
The first two options provide audible and/or visual indication of incoming  
calls waiting to be answered.

Programming  
The third option is not applicable as a backup answering feature; however,  
it is useful for making brief announcements such as temporary closings or  
hours of business.  
Direct Extension Dial. Useful for routing outside callers directly to a  
specific extension or Hunt Group. When activated, this feature answers  
incoming calls after a specified number of rings and plays a customized  
message prompting the caller to dial the digits of the designated extension  
or hunt group.  
Call Forwarding/Call Follow-Me. Useful when a receptionist leaves the  
desk for any period of time. Calls can be forwarded to a backup answering  
extension.  
Call Coverage. Useful when users are unable to answer their calls and  
want them answered by someone else.  
2-28

Telephone Programming Options  
Alternatively, you can install a voice messaging system to provide an automated  
backup answering position. Useful when the receptionist is busy on calls, away  
from the desk, or at night, the voice messaging system answers incoming calls  
after a specified number of rings, plays a customized greeting, requests callers to  
enter an extension number, and transfers the caller to the appropriate extension. If  
no one answers at the destination extension, the caller can leave a personal  
message in that extension’s mailbox.  
Button Programming  
The PARTNER-34D phone shown in Figure 2-5 illustrates the following  
programmed buttons in addition to some other system features:  
Extension Numbers. Auto Dial buttons are programmed for extensions 11  
through 28. The receptionist can use these buttons to dial or transfer calls  
to the extensions with one touch. In addition, the lights of these Auto Dial  
buttons show the status of the extension, so the receptionist can tell  
whether the phone at the extension is idle (no lights on), busy (red on),  
calling the receptionist (green flash), sending coverage calls to or manually  
signaling the receptionist (green flutter), or ringing back after the  
receptionist transferred a call (green flutter).  
Manual Signaling. A Manual Signaling button (labeled MS-Bill) is  
programmed to signal the target extension. When the button is pressed,  
the user at the target extension will hear a tone for as long as the button is  
pressed. This feature is typically used by a receptionist to alert the boss to  
an important incoming call when the boss is already on a call. The lights of  
a Manual Signaling button work like an Auto Dial button to show the status  
of the target extension. Additionally, a Manual Signaling button can be used  
to place intercom calls. (Manual Signaling applies only to system phones.)  
NOTE:  
You can have only one button for a target extension per extension. The  
button can be programmed as a Manual Signaling button or as an Auto Dial  
button for intercom ringing or voice signaling.  
Fax Management. A button (labeled Fax-30) is programmed as a Fax  
Management button for the fax machine connected to extension 30. The  
lights next to the button show what is happening at the fax machine (for  
example, red broken flutter indicates that the fax machine is not  
responding—for example when it is out of paper). (For more information,

Using Telephone Programming  
There are two ways to program a telephone: Centralized Telephone Programming  
from extension 10 or 11 (see below) and Extension Programming from a user’s  
own extension (see ‘‘Using Extension Programming’’ on page 2-33).  
Telephone Models  
Figure 2-6 illustrates a PARTNER-18D set up as a key extension and Figure 2-7  
illustrates a PARTNER-6 phone set up as a pooled extension. As you program  
buttons, mark their functions on the phone’s labeling sheet (see the examples in  
NOTE:  
A PARTNER-6 phone only has four buttons available for lines for lines or  
pools. If four lines are assigned, it has no programmable buttons. If the main  
pool is assigned, it has two programmable buttons. The MDW 9000 phones  
look just like a PARTNER-6 phone when you program them centrally.

Using Centralized Telephone Programming  
Use Centralized Telephone Programming to program features or store telephone  
numbers for individual extensions from extension 10 or 11.  
All features that can be programmed at an extension can also be programmed  
using Centralized Telephone Programming. Most features also can be  
programmed on a system phone at the user’s extension. Keep in mind the  
following exceptions:  
Automatic Line Selection, Line Ringing, and Call Screening (F25)  
always must be programmed using Centralized Telephone Programming.  
If a user has a standard phone, all features for the extension must be  
programmed by using Centralized Telephone Programming.  
If a user has a non-display system phone, Extension Name Display for  
the extension can be programmed only by using Centralized Telephone  
Programming. As a matter of convenience, users may want to program all  
features for these phones using Centralized Telephone Programming.

Programming  
During Centralized Telephone Programming, the display phone at extension 10 or  
11 takes on the characteristics of the telephone being programmed, including any  
System Programming settings and lines assigned to the phone. If you have any  
34-button phones in the system, you must use a 34-button display phone to  
program since an 18-button phone cannot be used to program a 34-button phone.  
Also, if your system has both PARTNER-model and MLS-model phones, it is  
recommended that you use a PARTNER-model display phone at the programming  
extension.  
To program a phone from extension 10 or 11, use the following procedure:  
1. Place the Programming Overlay over the dialpad of the system display  
phone at extension 10 or 11—see ‘‘Programming Overlays’’ on page 2-21 for  
more information.  
2. To start programming:  
a. Press f 0 0. A display similar to the following appears:  
PROGRAM EXTENSION 10  
(If you are programming from extension 11, “11" displays instead of  
“10.”)  
b. Press s. A display similar to the following appears:  
10 Enter Extension Name  
This display is for the Extension Name Display feature. When you  
are entering Centralized Telephone Programming mode, skip it by  
moving on to Step 2c.  
c. Press s again. The display reads:  
SYSTEM PROGRAM  
d. Press c. A display similar to the following appears:  
CENTRAL TELEPHONE PROG  
Extension:  
3. Dial the extension number of the telephone to be programmed.  
The green lights next to buttons on which lines or pools are assigned show  
the current Line Ringing settings; remaining buttons can be programmed  
with telephone numbers, extension numbers, or system features.  
4. At this point, program the features that must use Centralized Telephone  
Programming.  
For all phones, these features must now be programmed:  
Use Automatic Line Selection to change the order in which the  
telephone selects a line or pool when the user picks up the handset.  
(If you want to change Automatic Line Selection for an extension,  
you must do so immediately after you enter programming mode and  
dial the extension number.)

Using Telephone Programming  
Use Extension Name Display to assign a user’s name to the  
extension. See Chapter 5 for the character codes. (Like Automatic  
Line Selection, this procedure must be done immediately after you  
enter programming mode and dial the extension number. If you want  
to change both Automatic Line Selection and Extension Name  
Display, first change Automatic Line Selection, then press  
c, redial the extension number, then use Extension  
Name Display.)  
Use Line Ringing to change the ringing for an individual line or  
pool.  
For standard phones, you must now also program all other extension  
features.  
For non-display system phones, you may also want to program all  
extension features at this point.  
To erase the current programming from a button, press the button, then  
press!.  
5. To change the settings for another extension, press c, then dial  
the new extension number.  
6. To exit programming mode, you can press f 0 0, or lift the handset  
off-hook, then place it back in the cradle.  
Changing Programming Type  
When you are in programming mode, you can move between System  
Programming and Centralized Telephone Programming. To change to System  
Programming when you are in Centralized Telephone Programming, press  
c then s. To move back to Centralized Telephone  
Programming when you are in System Programming, press c.  
Using Extension Programming  
Users can program features or store numbers on buttons from their own phones  
using Extension Programming. Keep in mind the following exceptions:  
Automatic Line Selection, Line Ringing, and Call Screening (F25)  
always must be programmed using Centralized Telephone Programming.  
If a user has a standard phone, Personal Speed Dial Numbers for the  
extension can be programmed only by using Centralized Telephone  
Programming.  
If a user has a standard phone or a non-display system phone, Extension  
Name Display for the extension can be programmed only by using  
Centralized Telephone Programming.

Programming  
To program at the extension, use the following procedure:  
1. To start programming, dial f 0 0.  
The green lights next to buttons on which lines or pools are assigned for  
the extension show the current Line Ringing settings. Remaining buttons  
can be programmed with telephone numbers, extension numbers, or  
system features.  
2. To assign a name to the extension, press left i, then enter the  
character codes. See ‘‘Extension Name Display’’ for the codes.  
3. Program Personal Speed Dial Numbers, Auto Dial numbers, or system  
features as described in Chapter 5.  
To erase the current programming from a button, press the button, then  
press!.  
4. To exit programming mode, you can press f 0 0, or lift the handset  
off-hook, then place it back in the cradle.

Lights  
Each line or pool button has a green light and a red light. The meaning of these  
lights varies, depending on whether the button is used to access an outside line or  
pool, is programmed with a system feature, or is programmed for Auto Dialing an  
extension number (Intercom Auto Dial button). (Auto Dial buttons for fax  
extensions show additional information; these “Fax Management” buttons are  
described in Chapter 4. When a phone is in programming mode, the lights show  
information about programmed settings; see Chapter 2 for details.)

Ringing Patterns  
System phones have these ringing patterns:  
An outside call will ring... ring... ring. [Release 3.0 or later, see "Unique Line  
An intercom call will ring BEEP... ring BEEP... ring BEEP. If you have a  
system display phone, the caller’s extension number (and name if  
programmed) will show on the display.  
A transferred call, or an unanswered transferred or parked call that is  
ringing back at your extension, will ring BEEP BEEP... ring BEEP BEEP...  
ring BEEP BEEP. [Release 3.0 or later, see "Unique Line Ringing  
NOTE:  
If you use the system with PBX or Centrex lines, the PBX/Centrex distinctive  
ringing patterns are not passed to phones. Phones use the ringing patterns  
described here instead.  
Dial Tones  
You will encounter two different dial tones when calling with a system phone:  
Outside dial tone is generated by your local phone company to indicate  
that you are connected with an outside line.  
Intercom dial tone is generated by the system to indicate that you are  
connected with an inside line. You hear this dial tone when you are making  
an inside, or intercom, call.  
To hear the difference between the two types of dial tones on a system phone,  
press a line or pool button. The dial tone you hear is an outside dial tone. To hear  
an intercom dial tone, press i.  
Using the Handset, Speaker, and Microphone  
Every PARTNER-model and MLS-model system phone except the MLS-6 has a  
speaker and a microphone, which you can turn on by pressing S. In addition,  
you can turn just the microphone on and off by pressing!. When the green  
light next to! is on, the microphone is on.  
If you prefer to dial and conduct calls without lifting the handset, you can use the  
speaker and the microphone instead. Use these techniques to make calls with the  
speaker and the microphone:  
To make a call without lifting the handset, press S to get a dial tone;  
then dial the number and you will hear the call ringing. When the other  
party answers, you can talk without lifting the handset.  
3-6

System Telephones  
If you are already on a call, you can switch from the handset to the speaker  
and microphone by pressing S and hanging up the handset. Conversely,  
if you are using the speaker and microphone and want to switch to the  
handset, lift the handset and the speaker and microphone will turn off.  
To turn off the microphone when you are using the speaker, press!.  
This will mute your voice so the other party cannot hear you.  
Use the Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) feature to answer  
voice-signaled calls without lifting the handset (see below).  
Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI)  
When you receive a voice-signaled intercom call, your phone beeps once to  
indicate that your speaker has been turned on automatically, and you hear the  
caller’s voice over your phone’s speaker. If you leave your microphone on all the  
time, you can start talking when you hear the caller, without lifting the handset.  
This feature is called Hands-Free Answer on Intercom.  
Any user in the system can make a voice-signaled call to an idle system phone by  
pressing i* then dialing an extension number or pressing an Auto Dial  
button programmed for voice signaling. (You can make a voice-signaled call from  
either a system phone or a standard phone. However, if you try to make a  
voice-signaled call to a standard phone or an MLC-6 or TransTalk 9000-series  
phone, it will ring.)  
1. The HFAI feature can be turned on or off only when your phone is idle.  
Muting your voice while you are on a call only turns off the microphone for  
the duration of the call.  
2. If HFAI is on and you are already on a call, you will not receive any voice-  
signaled calls to your extension—they will ring instead.  
3. If you make a voice-signaled intercom call to a busy extension, it may result  
in a voice interrupt on busy call to that extension. See ‘‘Voice Interrupt on  
Busy Calls’’ for more information.  
Voice Interrupt on Busy Calls  
A voice interrupt on busy call is a special intercom call that lets you interrupt and  
speak to another user who is busy on a call and who has the Voice Interrupt On  
Busy(#312) feature activated. When you use Voice Interrupt on Busy, the  
interrupted user hears two beeps before hearing your voice. Be aware that the  
third party to whom the interrupted user is speaking will probably hear the two  
beeps and the faint sound of your voice. Therefore, the message you deliver with  
the interruption should be brief and discreet. If the interrupted user wants to  
answer you, he or she can press a programmed Talk-Back button—the interrupted  
user’s response cannot be heard by the third party in this case.

Speakerphone Performance Tips  
The speaker on your system phone has a sensitive sound-activated switch. Room  
acoustics and background noise can affect the proper operation of the  
speakerphone. To ensure that your speakerphone works effectively, follow these  
guidelines:  
Avoid placing your phone in areas with high background noise caused by  
sources such as motor vehicles, manufacturing equipment, loud voices,  
radios, printers, copiers, typewriters, other noisy office equipment, and  
heater and air conditioning fans.  
Avoid talking before the other person is finished speaking. When you both  
talk at the same time, only one person’s voice comes through.  
Do not use your speaker to make announcements over a loudspeaker  
paging system connected to your phone system.  
When talking, always face your phone and stay within two feet of it.  
Place your phone at least six inches (15 cm) away from the edge of your  
desk.  
If you have difficulty hearing the other party, try increasing the speaker  
volume. If you have background noise, try turning off the microphone when  
the party at the other end is speaking and turning it on when you speak. If  
the difficulty persists, lift your handset to continue the conversation.  
In conference rooms, a separate speakerphone (such as the  
SoundStation® from Lucent Technologies) is recommended, since the  
built-in speaker on a system phone is designed for individual use.  
Standard Telephones  
In addition to system phones, you can connect industry-standard touch-tone or  
rotary dial phones—and even some feature phones (which have built-in calling  
features)—directly to the system. You can also combine standard phones on the  
same extension with system phones or other devices, without using expensive  
adapters or connectors.  
Standard phones can do many of the things that system phones can do, and you  
can save money by using them in certain situations when a system telephone is  
not needed. Follow these guidelines when using standard phones:  
Use standard phones as power failure backups; system phones will not  
work. If you connect standard phones to the first two extensions on the  
PARTNER ACS processor module, users can place and answer outside  
calls on the first two lines. If you connect a standard phone to the first  
extension on each 206 module, users can place and answer outside calls  
on the first line of each 206 module. You can connect standard phones in  
combination with system phones at power failure extensions, or you can  
simply keep spare standard phones at those extensions to serve as  
replacements in case of a power failure.

Standard Telephones  
To use a system feature, press # (in place of f used on system  
phones) followed by its two-digit code when you hear intercom dial tone.  
For features that use i on system phones, dial only the two-digit  
code when you hear intercom dial tone. (Instructions for using these  
features on standard phones are included in Chapter 5, ‘‘Feature  
Reference’’.)  
To use a Speed Dial number, press # followed by its two- or three-digit  
code when you hear intercom dial tone. (For details, see "Personal Speed  
If Call Waiting (#316) is assigned to an extension with a standard phone  
connected, users hear a call-waiting tone (two beeps) when a second call  
comes in to the extension. The call-waiting tone is not repeated.  
Use the switchhook on a standard phone to place calls on hold, park a call,  
transfer a call, answer a call-waiting call, or set up a conference call. (For  
If the standard phone has a message light, use it to notify users of  
messages. (For details, see "Message Light On (F09XX)" and "Message  
Light Off (F10XX)". For a list of supported phones, see ‘‘Standard  
Telephones’’ on page 1-16.) Alternatively, if you have a voice messaging  
system, the light is used to indicate that a message has been left in your  
mailbox. On a standard phone, the message light flashes when the phone  
is idle to indicate that the extension has received a message.  
Ringing Patterns  
Standard phones have these ringing patterns:  
An outside call will ring... ring... ring.  
An intercom call will ring-ring... ring-ring... ring-ring.  
A transferred call, or an unanswered transferred or parked call that is  
ringing back, will ring-ring-ring... ring-ring-ring... ring-ring-ring.  
NOTE:  
If you use the system with PBX or Centrex lines, the PBX/Centrex distinctive  
ringing patterns are not passed to phones. Telephones use the ringing  
patterns described here instead.  
Dial Tones  
Standard phones have two different dial tones:  
Outside dial tone is generated by your local telephone company to  
indicate that you are connected with an outside line.  
3-9  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Learning About Telephones  
Intercom dial tone is generated by the system to indicate that you are  
connected with an inside line. You hear this dial tone when you are making  
an inside, or intercom, call.  
To hear the difference between the two dial tones, lift the handset. The dial tone  
you hear (assuming the phone is set to select intercom first, as recommended in  
this guide) is an intercom dial tone. To hear an outside dial tone, press 9.  
Using the Switchhook  
Some of the call-handling instructions in this guide direct you to “rapidly press and  
release the switchhook.” Pressing the switchhook for 1/2 to 1 second sends a  
signal over the line called a switchhook flash. However, do not press the  
switchhook too quickly. If you press the switchhook and nothing happens, try  
again and press it a little longer.  
NOTE:  
If your feature phone has a button labeled “Recall” or “Flash,” use the button  
instead of pressing the switchhook. If you use the system with PBX or  
Centrex lines, your PBX or Centrex documentation may tell you to press the  
switchhook to access PBX or Centrex features. Use the Recall feature  
instead [see "Recall (F03)"].  
Limitations  
Each standard device requires one touch-tone receiver to be available in order to  
dial a call (intercom or outside) or to activate a feature using a code. Each  
PARTNER ACS processor module has two touch-tone receivers; each 206  
module has one touch-tone receiver; each 400 module has two touch-tone  
receivers. The combination of modules in your system determines the number of  
standard devices that can dial simultaneously. For example, if you have one  
PARTNER ACS processor module, two 206 modules, and two 400 modules, eight  
standard devices can dial out at the same time. If nine standard devices try to dial  
out simultaneously, the ninth device will not get dial tone until one of the other  
eight finishes dialing. (PARTNER MAIL VS contains its own touch-tone receivers  
and does not require any from the system.)  
Also, because standard phones do not have system line or pool buttons, feature  
buttons, or dedicated function buttons, basic call-handling procedures are  
sometimes different from those for system telephones. In addition, the following  
actions cannot be performed at a standard telephone:  
You cannot enter programming mode.  
3-10  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
Standard Telephones  
Because there are no line buttons on standard phones, users must use  
Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line to select a specific line; otherwise, the  
system selects an idle line automatically when the user dials a 9 at  
intercom dial tone. (For information about Automatic Line Selection, see  
Chapter 5.) Similarly, because there are no pool buttons on standard  
phones, users must dial pool access codes at the intercom dial tone to  
request access to an idle pooled line. (See "Making Calls" for instructions  
on using pool access codes). Otherwise, the system selects an idle line  
from a pool automatically when the user dials a 9 at intercom dial tone.  
Unless Call Waiting (#316) is assigned to specific standard phone  
extensions, there is no indication of a second call and an inside caller will  
hear a busy tone if a standard phone is in use. If Call Waiting is assigned,  
the user hears a call-waiting tone (two beeps) when a second call comes in  
for the extension. (The call-waiting tone is not repeated.) The user can use  
the switchhook to put the first call on hold and speak to the party on the  
second call and to switch back and forth between the two parties.  
Users can make a voice-signaled call from a standard phone, but if users  
try to make a voice-signaled call to a standard phone, it will ring because  
the standard phone does not have a system speaker.  
Users cannot use the System Password.  
Users cannot access the following system features: Account Code Entry,  
Background Music, Caller ID Name Display, Caller ID Inspect, Do Not  
Disturb, Caller ID Logging and Dialing Feature, Exclusive Hold,  
Manual Signaling, Privacy, Save Number Redial, VMS Cover, Voice  
Interrupt on Busy, Voice Interrupt on Busy Talk-Back, or Voice Mailbox  
Transfer.  
Users can, however, use Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) and  
Automatic VMS Cover (#310), which are similar to the Privacy and VMS  
Cover features.  
Do not use Forced Account Code Entry with a standard phone, because  
the phone will not be able to get dial tone and make calls.  
A display on a standard phone will not show Caller ID information, system  
messages, or Caller ID Call Logging information.  
A speaker on a standard phone is not a system integrated speaker;  
therefore, it cannot receive “voice” type calls, such as a group page.  
Feature Phones  
A feature phone is a standard telephone that has feature buttons in addition to the  
regular 12-key dial pad. For example, there are feature phones that have  
programmable auto dial buttons, last number redial buttons, hold buttons, and  
built-in speakers. You can use most of the system’s dial-code features from a  
feature phone, and program them onto a feature phone button. However, there are  
some limitations to what these phones can do.

Learning About Telephones  
The capabilities of a feature phone are in the phone itself. For example, if you  
store a number on a feature phone’s auto dial button, that number is stored in the  
feature phone. (This is different from storing a number on a system phone’s Auto  
Dial button. When you program a button on a system phone, the number is  
actually stored in the control unit.) Similarly, when you press a hold button on a  
feature phone, the call is held at the phone itself. (Callers will not hear the  
system’s Music-on-Hold. Other phones in the system cannot see that the call is on  
hold; it appears as a busy line.)  
If you want to program an outside number on a feature phone’s auto dial button,  
you must add a 9 and one or more pauses (if available) before each outside  
number. (The 9 gets an outside line, and each pause allows a few seconds to get  
an outside dial tone.)  
Note that the feature phone’s last number redial button may not work for an  
outside call. To redial the last number, use the system’s Last Number Redial  
feature by pressing # 0 5.  
Combination Extensions  
A combination extension is an extension with two devices connected to it—either  
two standard devices, or a system phone and a standard device (but not two  
system phones). (For instructions on how to install a combination extension, see  
the PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation guide.)  
The following are examples of useful combination extensions:  
System phone plus standard telephone, for power failure backup on  
extensions 10, 11, and the first extensions of any 206 or 308EC Module  
System phone plus answering machine  
System phone plus fax machine  
System phone plus headset  
System phone plus an external alert (such as a bell or chime).  
The telephones in a combination extension share a single extension in the same  
way several home telephones share a single line. A system telephone works as it  
always does and a standard telephone works as it always does when connected  
to the system. Only one phone or device can be used at a time, unless you want  
to join the two on a single call (the same way two people can pick up the same call  
on different telephones at home). For example:  
Both phones share the same extension number.  
Both phones share the same voice path; that is, when either phone is busy,  
the extension is busy.  
Calls ring at both phones.  
3-12

Using Telephones  
A second call can ring at the system phone while the standard phone is  
busy, but do not use the system phone to answer the second call until the  
standard phone is idle or the first call will be disconnected.  
If you make a voice-signaled intercom call to a combination extension with  
a system phone, only the system phone signals.  
Call Waiting (#316) does not work on a standard phone in combination  
with a system phone.  
The lights on the system phone show what the standard telephone is doing  
as well as what the system phone is doing. For an explanation of light  
patterns, see ‘‘Lights’’ on page 3-4.  
If Privacy is active at a combination extension, no other extension can join  
a call in progress at either a system phone or a standard device. (However,  
a phone can interrupt a call on a standard device at the same extension.  
For example, if a system phone and modem are combined at an extension,  
picking up the handset of the system phone could interrupt a modem  
transmission, even if Privacy is active.)  
While on a call on a standard phone, you can use the system phone’s  
dialpad and fixed-feature buttons to handle calls. For example, you can use  
the system phone to select a specific outside line or pool, and conduct the  
call on the standard phone. Or, if someone is on a call using the standard  
phone, someone else can put that call on hold by pressing h on the  
system phone. To do this, it is not necessary to lift the handset of the  
system phone. Held calls do not ring back at a standard phone in a  
combination extension. To retrieve a held call from the standard phone, use  
Direct Line Pickup—Active Line.  
A standard phone’s message light will not light when Background Music is  
playing through the system phone’s speaker.  
If you have Caller ID, only system display phones show the Caller ID  
information.  
The ringer equivalence number (REN) of a standard device or the  
combined REN of two devices cannot be greater than 2.0. (The REN of a  
system phone is 0.0.)  
Using Telephones  
Your system provides intuitive operation of basic call handling features, plus  
dial-code features that make it easy for users to handle calls flexibly and efficiently  
from both system and standard phones. For more information about a specific  
feature, refer to the feature name in Chapter 5.

Learning About Telephones  
Basic Call Handling Features  
The following features are available from both system and standard phones:  
Dial-Code Features  
Dial-code features are features that you access by dialing a feature code at the  
telephone dialpad. From a system phone, you can dial f or i, followed  
by the two- or three-digit code (or press a programmed Auto Dial button); from a  
standard phone, you typically dial # followed by the two- or three-digit code when  
you have intercom dial tone. See Table 5-2 in Chapter 5 for a listing of dial-code  
features.

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
Overview  
There are many ways to set up auxiliary equipment—the setup you choose  
depends upon your needs and the number of devices you have. This chapter  
presents some common setups. (It does not cover how to physically connect the  
equipment, or how to program the features. See the PARTNER Advanced  
Communications System Installation guide for installation instructions, Chapter 5  
for programming instructions, and the equipment manufacturer’s documentation  
for complete details on the device you connect.)  
This chapter shows various applications for the following types of equipment:  
In addition, you can connect the following devices to your system:  
Doorphones allow visitors to signal extensions by pressing a button on the  
doorphone; the person who answers a doorphone call can then speak with  
the visitor at the doorphone. A doorphone is especially useful for providing  
access to offices or departments after hours. For example, you can install a  
doorphone outside your building entrance to allow visitors to ring  
telephones inside the building when the receptionist is not there and the  
front door is locked.  
The system supports up to two Lucent Technologies PARTNER  
Doorphones or any number of Lucent Technologies Universal Doorphones.  
Universal Doorphones offer a door unlock feature and can be installed in  
addition to PARTNER Doorphones.

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
Loudspeaker paging systems allow you to broadcast a message over a  
large area, by connecting the paging system directly to the PAGE jack on  
the processor module. The system supports all Lucent Technologies  
paging systems including the entire PagePac line. The system also  
supports most paging systems from other manufacturers when the paging  
systems are connected using a paging interface device. For information  
about how to use a loudspeaker paging system with the system, see  
PARTNER PassageWay®Solution allows you to combine your Personal  
Computer (PC) running Microsoft® WindowsTM 3.1 or later, Microsoft  
Windows for Workgroups Version 3.11 or later, or Windows 95 with your  
phone. You can then use your PC for tasks such as dialing out from an  
electronic phone list and logging phone calls.  
Music-on-Hold systems allow you to play recorded music or messages to  
callers while they are on hold, by connecting the audio source to the  
processor module. The system supports the Lucent Technologies Magic on  
Hold system and most models from other manufacturers. (The  
performance of music over telephone lines is a public performance under  
United States Copyright law. Accordingly, in order for the performance of  
that music to be lawful, it must be licensed annually to the user by the  
copyright owners or their representatives. The Magic on Hold system  
includes the required license for the first year. This license must be  
renewed annually.)  
Remote Administration Units (RAUs) allow you to perform System and  
Centralized Telephone Programming from a remote location. Users of  
Partner ACS Release 3.0 can also perform Remote Programming using  
Partner ACS Remote Administration software which is available separately.  
Extra alerts help make users aware of incoming calls. For example, you  
can use an audible alert (chime, horn, or bell) to replace a phone ring in a  
noisy area, such as a factory. Similarly, you can use a visual alert (strobe or  
light) to replace a phone ring in a quiet area, such as a library. Lucent  
Technologies offers several compatible alerts.  
Speakerphones provide hands-free two-way operation of a phone without  
lifting the handset. Combining a speakerphone with a system phone or a  
standard phone in a conference room or office is an inexpensive way for  
several people at a meeting to conference in other parties. (In conference  
rooms, a separate speakerphone—such as the SoundStation from Lucent  
Technologies—is recommended, since the built-in speaker on a system  
phone is designed for individual use.)  
Headsets allow users to hold hands-free conversations. A headset is a  
combination earphone and microphone worn on the head, useful for  
receptionists, salespeople, or others who need to have their hands free  
while talking on the phone. Lucent Technologies offers several compatible  
headsets.

Overview  
Specialty Handsets are designed for those individuals who need greater  
functionality than that provided by the handsets on system phones and  
standard phones. For example, an amplified handset is available for all  
PARTNER phones for hard-of-hearing users.  
In-Range Out-of-Building (IROB) protectors are required to prevent  
electrical surges from damaging your system when phones or other  
standard devices (such as a doorphone) are installed in a location other  
than the building where the control unit is installed. The system supports  
the Lucent Technologies IROB protector, which provides coverage for up to  
3,000 feet (915 meters) for standard devices and 1,000 feet (305 meters)  
for system phones. (IROBs must be installed by a qualified technician.)  
Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE) allows you to connect a standard  
touch-tone phone beyond 3,000 feet (915 meters) in another building on  
the same continuous property. It also allows you to use a special circuit  
from your local phone company to provide off-premises station capability.  
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filters allow you to block “noise”  
generated by a nearby radio station, as well as most electrical devices.  
Caller ID devices allow you to store and process Caller ID information.  
Although the system provides functionally integrated, multi-line Caller ID on  
system display phones, you can connect other devices provided you  
subscribe to the service from your local phone company and connect the  
device directly to the Caller ID line. You cannot install a Caller ID device  
directly to a PARTNER extension jack or to a combination extension jack.  
Refer to “Caller ID Devices” in the PARTNER Advanced Communications  
System Installation guide for installation details.  
PCMCIA cards allow you to administer your system from your PC, either  
remotely or locally (Release 3.0 or later).  
NOTE:  
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which  
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and  
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA  
card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS  
to Release 3.0.

WARNING:  
Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating an upgrade.

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
If a Device Has Trouble  
Two System Programming procedures can be used to adjust the system settings  
for auxiliary equipment installed at an extension, if a device has trouble answering  
calls or dialing out. If a device (such as an answering machine) does not pick up  
transferred or intercom calls, you can use Distinctive Ring (#308) to change the  
ringing, so that all calls ring like outside calls at that extension. If an autodialing  
device (such as a modem) has trouble autodialing, use Intercom Dial Tone  
(#309) to change the intercom dial tone for the extension to Machine (outside line)  
dial tone.  
Answering Machines  
You can use an answering machine to answer calls at night when no one is  
around, or during business hours when no one can get to the phone. If you have a  
Lucent Technologies answering machine with the Call Intercept feature, you can  
pick up a call that has been answered by the answering machine by joining the  
call from any system phone. When you do so, the system sends the answering  
machine a signal that makes it hang up.  
You can connect answering machines to your system in the following ways:  
Single answering machine. This basic setup can cover all the lines in the  
system. Anyone on the system can call the machine to retrieve messages.  
Multiple answering machines. If you get too many calls for one machine  
to cover, connect two or more machines to cover all calls.  
Personal answering machine. An answering machine can share an  
extension with a phone in order to answer calls to that extension.  
NOTE:  
If you have an answering machine and a system phone on the same  
extension, the answering machine will be able to answer calls only when the  
phone is idle.  
Single Answering Machine  
The single answering machine setup (Figure 4-1) serves the entire system. The  
answering machine is connected to its own extension, and can cover all the lines  
in the system, or as many lines as you assign to it. You can install the answering  
machine on an extension by itself, or combine it with a system phone or a  
standard phone on the same extension (see “Combination Extensions” in the  
PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation guide).

To Use  
Go to the machine to manually play back messages.  
From any system extension, make an intercom call to the answering  
machine extension. When the machine answers, dial its message retrieval  
code.  
From outside the system, call in on any line assigned to the machine.  
When the machine answers, dial its message retrieval code.  
To Program  
1. If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign  
all the lines to extension X that you want the answering machine to cover.  
If extension X is a pooled extension, use Line Extension Assignment  
(#314) to assign all the pools to extension X that you want the answering  
machine to cover. Also, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign any  
individual lines to extension X that you want the answering machine to  
cover.  
2. Set Line Ringing for all lines and pools assigned to extension X to  
Immediate Ring.  
3. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension,  
Pickup Group Extension (#501), Calling Group Extension (#502), Night  
Service Group Extension (#504), or Hunt Group Extension (#505).  
4. Adjust the answering machine to answer according to your needs. For  
example, set the machine to answer on the fourth ring during the day so  
someone has a chance to pick up the call.

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
Multiple Answering Machines  
If a single answering machine cannot handle all your calls, you can set up two or  
more machines at different extensions (Figure 4-2) so that a call does not go  
unanswered. If one answering machine is busy, a second call will be answered by  
the second machine. A setup such as this might be used by a movie theater to  
announce movie times to people calling for information.

5. Adjust both answering machines to answer on a different number of rings  
(so they do not both try to pick up the same call). For example, set  
answering machine 1 to 4 rings and answering machine 2 to 6 rings. (If you  
cannot adjust the two answering machines to answer on a different number  
of rings, assign some lines to Immediate Ring at extension X and other  
lines to Immediate Ring at extension Y.)  
Personal Answering Machine  
A personal answering machine is used to answer all the calls that ring at a certain  
extension (Figure 4-3). It is useful for the following situations:  
When you do not want to dedicate an extension to an answering machine  
When the extension receives a lot of intercom calls  
When outside calls come through a receptionist and are transferred to the  
extension  
When an extension has a private line

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
2. If the lines assigned to extension X are also assigned to other extensions,  
adjust the answering machine to answer on the third or fourth ring so that it  
does not answer calls before someone else can. (If the answering machine  
is to cover transferred or coverage calls, make sure the number of rings is  
less than the amount of transfer return rings set for the extension. This  
assures that the answering machine will pick up transferred or coverage  
calls before they return to the transfer return extension or are sent to the  
covering extension.)  
If you intercept a call from the answering machine, you will hear a click to  
notify you that the answering machine has turned off.  
Auto Attendant  
An auto attendant answers calls and directs them to a specified extension, Calling  
Group, or Hunt Group (based on the digits a caller dials after listening to a list of  
choices in a recorded greeting). For example, the auto attendant could answer  
calls and tell callers to press 1 for Sales, 2 for Parts, 3 for Service, and so on. An  
auto attendant can be set up for immediate call handling or delayed call handling.  
Backup for Receptionist  
A common use of an auto attendant is as a backup for the receptionist. If the  
receptionist cannot pick up a call within a specified number of rings, the auto  
attendant handles it. This prevents calls from going unanswered. Figure 4-4 shows  
how the auto attendant would be connected to your system.

Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)  
To Use  
Follow the instructions packaged with the auto attendant. Make sure that the  
unit is in backup call-answering mode.  
When callers call the main number for your company, the receptionist normally  
picks up the call. If the receptionist is busy, the auto attendant answers and  
plays a recorded message, such as: “Please hold for the receptionist or dial an  
extension number now.”  
To Program  
1. Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign all the lines to extension X that you  
want the auto attendant to cover.  
2. Set Line Ringing for all lines assigned to extension X to Delayed Ring.  
3. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension.  
4. Use AA Extensions (#607) to identify extension X as the auto attendant.  
5. Set Transfer Return Extension (#306) for extension X to extension 10.  
6. Set the auto attendant to pick up within a specific number of rings, so if the  
receptionist does not pick up a call, the auto attendant will.  
Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)  
SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording) is a call reporting feature that provides  
records of call activity. Call reporting information provides you with the ability to:  
Detect any unauthorized calls  
Bill clients or projects  
Bill back by department  
Reduce telephone costs by identifying the need to change  
telecommunications services (like adding a WATS line for calls to a  
particular area code)  
Print Caller ID information  
Call reporting information is recorded after each call is completed. For outgoing  
calls, the system records information for each call that lasts more than 10  
seconds. The timing begins when you lift the handset or press S to access an  
outside line. For incoming calls, the timing begins when the call is answered.  
Timing stops when the call is disconnected.  
The system sends the information through a 1200-baud serial interface to either a  
serial printer or a call accounting device. The device connects directly to the  
SMDR jack on the processor module.

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
Programming  
Use the following programming procedures for call reporting:  
SMDR Record Type (#608) to specify the type of calls that you want to  
record for call reporting—either all calls or outgoing calls only.  
SMDR Top of Page (#609) to notify the system that the printer has been  
aligned to the top of a new page.  
SMDR Output Format (#610) to identify whether a maximum of 15 digits  
or 24 digits is printed for dialed numbers on the call report.  
Before changing the output format to 24 digits, check the documentation for  
your call accounting device to verify that this operation is supported.  
SMDR Talk Time (#611) to include the Talk field on the call reports. This  
field shows the call duration minus the time the greeting was played and  
the caller waited for someone to answer the call.  
Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to identify extensions that are  
required to enter an account code prior to making outside calls and Forced  
Account Code List (#409) to create a list of valid account codes.  
Display Language (#303) to specify the language to be used for display  
messages. The call report header is printed in the same language as is  
specified for extension 10.  
The System Date (#101) and System Time (#103) must be set correctly to  
ensure accurate call reports.  
Call Reports  
A call report is a page of information that begins with a header. The header  
includes field names that describe the information in each call record. The call  
record is a line of information that includes the fields shown in Figure 4-5.

Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)  
Date. The date of the call is shown in mm/dd/yy format, where mm is the  
month, dd is the day, and yy is the year. The system uses the date set with  
System Date (#101).  
Time. The time of the connection is shown in hh:mm format, where hh is  
the hour and mm is the minute. The system uses the time set with System  
Time (#103) and is shown in 24-hour (military) time.  
Number. For an outgoing call, this is the dialed number or the speed dial  
code of a Marked System Speed Dial Number (preceded by an “F”). This  
field holds a maximum of either 15 or 24 digits, depending on the setting of  
SMDR Output Format (#610). (The Number field in Figure 4-5 is set to  
hold 24 digits.)  
A “]” character prints as the last digit of a dialed number if the called party  
hangs up before the system user; a “?” prints if the number of digits dialed  
exceeds the 15 or 24 digits that this field can hold. If both of these  
conditions occur, the “]” takes precedence.  
For an incoming call, “IN” appears, unless the system is set up to receive  
Caller ID information. In that case, telephone numbers of incoming calls on  
lines with Caller ID service print in this field. (See‘Caller ID’’ on page 5-63 for  
more information.)  
Duration. The duration of the call is shown in hh:mm:ss format, where hh  
is the hour, mm is the minutes, and ss is the seconds. This is the total time  
of the call, including any time the call is on hold or being handled by the  
Automatic System Hold or Direct Extension Dial feature. If an incoming  
call lasts less than one second, this field contains all zeroes.  
Line Number. This is the outside line used to make or receive the call. If  
the system is set for Hybrid Mode and the call is on a line in a pool, the  
number of the line in the pool prints here, not the pooled number.  
Station (Extension). This usually is the extension that answered or placed  
the call. For redirected incoming calls, the last extension on the call is  
shown on the report, as follows:  
— For transferred incoming calls: the destination extension.  
— For transferred outgoing calls: the originator extension.  
— For pickup calls: the extension picking up the call.  
— For forwarded calls: the extension answering the forwarded call.  
— For coverage calls: the extension answering the coverage call.  
If the calling party hangs up on an Automatic System Answer or Direct  
Extension Dial call before someone at an extension answers, this field  
shows 00.  
Account Code. This is the account code (up to 16 digits) assigned to the  
call. This code typically is used for charging calls to a specific client, project  
or department.

Talk. This is the time a user spends on an incoming outside call—from the  
time the user answers the call to the time the call is disconnected from the  
system. The talk time is shown in hh:mm:ss format, where hh is the hour,  
mm is the minutes, and ss is the seconds.  
If the call is answered by the Automatic System Answer or Direct  
Extension Dial feature, this field does not include the time the caller listens  
to the greeting or waits for someone to answer the call. For all other calls,  
the time in this field is the same as the time in the Duration field.  
This field is included on the call report only if SMDR Talk Time (#611) is  
set to Active.  
Considerations  
If a report cannot print because the printer is jammed or out of paper, the  
system will store up to 45 records in its memory until they can be printed.  
Additional calls will not be recorded.  
Before including the Talk field on call reports or changing the output format  
to 24 digits, check the documentation shipped with the call accounting  
device to verify that these options are supported.  
If SMDR Talk Time (#611) is set to Active and SMDR Output Format  
(#610) is set to 24 digits, the combined length of the fields for a call record  
will be greater than the 80 characters supported by most printers. If call  
records wrap around to the next line, reduce the font size or increase the  
characters-per-inch setting for the printer. If necessary, change the SMDR  
Output Format back to 15 digits.  
In the event of a power failure, records of any calls in progress are lost.  
Inside (intercom) calls are not recorded.  
If you place a call on hold and the caller hangs up, the call is considered  
complete and the record is sent to the call reporting device.  
Conference calls appear as two outside calls. (This means two records are  
generated on the report.)  
Output Format  
The following RS-232 serial transmission protocol is used for SMDR records:  
1200 baud  
No parity  
8 data bits  
2 stop bits  
The call reporting feature also supports XON/XOFF protocol, carriage returns,  
and line feeds.

Contact Closure Devices  
Serial Printers  
Use a 355A adapter, which converts a modular jack interface to an RS-232 25-pin  
connector, to connect a serial printer to the PARTNER ACS processor module. If  
you connect a printer, make sure the printer can receive SMDR data in the format  
described above (refer to the printer’s instructions or contact the printer’s  
manufacturer if you need help).  
If SMDR Talk Time (#611) is set to Active and SMDR Output Format (#610) is  
set to 24 digits, the combined length of the fields for a call record will be greater  
than the 80 characters supported by most printers. If call records wrap around to  
the next line, reduce the font size or increase the characters-per-inch setting for  
the printer. If necessary, change the SMDR Output Format back to 15 digits.  
Call Accounting Devices  
You can send call information to a call accounting device (such as Lucent  
Technologies’ Call Accounting Terminal—Basic or Plus) if you want to further  
analyze call activity. The device stores rate table information and processes the  
information it receives into meaningful reports that can help you optimize your  
communications system. The primary application for call accounting devices is  
“accounting,” or pricing of the calls.  
The call accounting device connects directly to the SMDR jack on the PARTNER  
ACS processor module and can also print out reports that include summaries by  
hour, line, and extension. Refer to the manual provided with the call accounting  
device for instructions on connecting it to your system.  
Contact Closure Devices  
The Contact Closure Adjunct plugs into a jack on the PARTNER ACS processor  
module and has two Contact Closures that can be used to control devices such as  
an electronic door lock (as shown in Figure 4-6) or an alert. The device being  
controlled must be wired to the Adjunct by an electrician in accordance with local  
electrical codes. See Appendix A, "Specifications", for more information.

You must designate which extensions are eligible to use the Contact Closures and  
you must program how the contacts will respond when activated. Then users at  
eligible extensions can program a button on their phones or they can simply use  
f 4 1 (to activate Contact Closure 1) or f 4 2 (to activate Contact  
Closure 2).  
For example, suppose Contact Closure 1 can release the door lock on the  
Deliveries door. You program extension Y as an eligible extension for Contact  
Closure 1 using Contact Closure Group (#612), and set the Contact Closure  
Operation Type (#613) to 5-Seconds On. When a delivery person uses the  
doorphone (extension X) to announce a package delivery, the user at extension Y  
can use f41 to activate Contact Closure 1. The lock on the Deliveries  
door will be released for five seconds, enabling the delivery person to enter.  
Programming Contact Closure Devices  
1. Use Doorphone Extension (#604) to assign Doorphone 1 to extension X.  
2. Use Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606) to identify extension Y as an  
alert extension for Doorphone 1.  
3. Use Contact Closure Group (#612) to assign extension Y to Contact  
Closure Group 1. This extension can activate Contact Closure 1.  
4. Use Contact Closure Operation Type (#613) to set Contact Closure 1 to  
Option 3, “5-Seconds On.”

Credit Card Scanners  
Credit Card Scanners  
Many retail businesses and restaurants use credit card scanners to get instant  
approval of credit card purchases. The system allows your credit card scanners to  
share the lines in your system (as shown in Figure 4-7). You can install the credit  
card scanner on an extension by itself, or combine it with a system phone or a  
standard phone on the same extension (see “Combination Extensions” in the  
PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation guide).

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
Fax Machines  
This section suggests several ways you can set up fax machines to work with your  
system. It includes instructions for programming and using a Fax Management  
button on a system phone (in order to monitor the status of a fax machine and  
transfer calls to it with a single touch), and for transferring calls to the fax machine  
extension.  
Preventing Inappropriate Fax Answering  
When lines appear on a fax extension, you will want to make sure that the fax  
machine does not automatically answer outside calls on these lines. There are  
three ways you can do this:  
Set the fax machine for delayed pickup.  
Use Line Ringing to change the ring options on the fax extension to either  
delayed ring or no ring.  
(Recommended) Use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines  
from the fax extension.  
Using the Fax Management Feature  
On any system phone, you can program a button with lights to serve as a Fax  
Management button. The lights next to this button tell you when the fax machine is  
in use, available, or not answering (for example, when it is out of paper). You can  
also use the button to transfer calls from your extension to the fax machine with a  
single touch.  
Programming for Fax Management  
To program a Fax Management button, first assign the fax machine extension  
using Fax Machine Extensions (#601). (See Chapter 5 for details.) Then program  
the fax machine extension number on an Auto Dial button. For more information,  
see ‘‘Auto Dialing’’ on page 5-17.

Fax Machines  
Using the Fax Management Button  
The lights next to the Fax Management button show what is happening at the fax  
machine—see Table 4-1.  
Table 4-1. Fax Management Button Light Patterns  
Light Pattern  
Indicates...  
Red broken flutter  
Fax trouble. The fax machine is not answering. If  
broken flutter occurs because the fax machine is out  
of paper, refill the paper. The light clears the next  
time the machine transmits or receives a call. If the  
machine takes longer than four rings to answer, the  
light shows fax trouble; when the machine does  
answer, the light changes to fax busy (red steady).  
Red steady  
Green flutter  
Fax busy. The fax machine is busy transmitting or  
receiving a call.  
Fax transfer return. A call you transferred to the fax  
machine was not answered and is returning to you.  
Transferring a Call to the Fax Machine  
Automatic Transfer of Calls to Fax Machines—  
Release 3.0 or Later  
When an incoming call is answered by PVM, PMVS, PARTNER MAIL or  
ASA/DXD, PARTNER ACS determines if the incoming call is a fax. If the system is  
set up to automatically route incoming fax calls to the fax machine, ACS will  
automatically transfer the call to a fax hunt group. Incoming fax detection is  
activated automatically by assigning extensions to Hunt Group 8. For more  
For this feature to work, you must have a voice messaging system or ASA/DXD.  
You must also have your system configured in one of these ways:  
Partner ACS as a stand-alone module  
308EC version 2 module in slot 1; any modules in remaining slots  
200/206/400 module in slot 1, 308EC version 2 module in any other slot  
This feature will not work if you have a 308EC version 1 module in slot 1.

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
Manual Transfer of Calls to Fax Machines—  
Release 2.0 or Later  
There are two situations in which you would want to transfer a call to your fax  
machine:  
You answer an outside call and hear a fax machine signaling. (A fax signal  
is a single beep sequence—beep.... beep.... beep). If you hear this, you  
should transfer the call immediately to the fax machine extension.  
You are on a call with a person who wants to send you a fax using the fax  
machine that is connected to his or her phone. You can receive the fax by  
transferring the call to your fax extension. Tell the other party to wait until he  
or she hears the fax signal before pressing the Start button on the sending  
fax machine.  
In addition, if you have a PARTNER MAIL system and a fax call comes in on a line  
covered by the PARTNER MAIL system, its Automated Attendant Service can be  
programmed to automatically transfer the call to a fax extension or (if you have  
multiple fax machines) to the extension Hunt Group for the fax machines.  
There are four ways to transfer the call to the fax extension:  
If you have a Fax Management button, simply press the button. When the  
fax machine answers, hang up.  
If you do not have a Fax Management button, press & plus the fax  
machine’s extension number. When the fax machine answers, hang up.  
On a standard phone, rapidly press and release the switchhook to place  
the call on hold, then dial the fax extension number and hang up.  
If you have multiple fax machines in an extension Hunt Group, press  
&, then i 7 7 plus the fax extension Hunt Group number.  
When a fax machine answers, hang up.  
Setting Up Fax Machines  
There are many ways to set up fax machines. The following configurations are  
basic and easy to use:  
Single fax machine. Good for light or moderate fax traffic. This basic setup  
uses a published fax number.  
Fax machine line saver. Good for light fax traffic, with no need for a  
published fax number.  
Send and receive fax machines. Good for high-volume fax traffic. One  
machine sends, the other receives.  
You can install both a telephone and a fax machine on the same extension—see  
“Combination Extensions” in the PARTNER Advanced Communications System  
Installation guide. This lets you receive both voice and fax calls on the same line  
(but not at the same time). If you pick up the phone and hear a fax signal, push the  
Start button on your fax machine and then hang up.

Fax Machines  
If you are using the PARTNER MAIL system’s Automated Attendant Service, you  
can program PARTNER MAIL to transfer fax calls to the fax extension or a group  
of fax extensions automatically. Use Fax Machine Extensions (#601) to identify  
fax extensions. If you have multiple fax machines, put all of the fax extensions into  
a single Hunt Group (any group 1–6) using Hunt Group Extensions (#505).  
Restricting Dialing from a Fax Machine  
You can use dialing restrictions to restrict calling activity on a fax machine. For  
example, you can use Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to restrict the fax  
machine to local calls only. For a more detailed discussion of dialing restrictions,  
see Chapter 2.  
Single Fax Machine  
The single fax machine setup (shown in Figure 4-8) is good for moderate traffic.  
The fax machine has its own line (line A), the number of which is published as the  
fax number. (The fax line can be used by other phones when all other lines are  
busy.) The fax machine is connected to its own extension (extension X).

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
To Program  
1. If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign  
only line A to extension X.  
If extension X is a pooled extension, use Pool Line Assignment (#207) to  
remove line A from all pools and then use Line Assignment (#301) to  
assign only line A to extension X.  
2. Set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to select line A only. Set  
Automatic Line Selection to select line A last on all other extensions or  
remove line A from all other extensions if they should not use it to make  
outgoing calls.  
3. Set Line Ringing for line A on extension X to Immediate Ring. On all other  
extensions, set line A to Delayed Ring or No Ring.  
4. Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.  
5. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension,  
Pickup Group Extension (#501), Calling Group Extension (#502), Night

6. To monitor the fax machine, use Fax Machine Extensions (#601) to  
identify extension X as a fax extension and program a Fax Management  
button by programming the fax machine extension number on an Auto Dial  
button.  
Fax Line Saver  
If you do not use your fax machine enough to justify paying for its own outside line,  
you can put the machine on its own extension. With this setup, you must transfer  
calls to it manually. If you have programmed a Fax Management button, you can  
transfer a call to the fax machine with a single touch, as well as monitor the status  
of the fax machine (see ‘‘Using the Fax Management Feature’’ on page 4-16). Figure  
4-9 shows the setup.

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
Send and Receive Fax Machines  
If your business has high-volume fax traffic, you can set up two fax machines, one  
that only sends and the other that only receives. For example, in Figure 4-10,  
fax 1 is the send machine, fax 2 is the receive machine. Line A is the fax line, the  
number of which is published as the fax number. If fax 2 doesn’t answer line A,  
fax 1 will.

Modems  
There are several ways to use modems with your system, as described below.  
NOTE:  
Modems can connect directly to an extension jack without an adapter.  
However, if you connect a high-speed modem through the control unit, you  
may experience some degradation of efficiency and throughput, depending  
on the quality of the central office lines connected to the system. To solve  
the problem, either connect modems directly to the network interface jacks,  
or contact your local telephone company for information about upgrading  
line quality.

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment  
You can set up modems, fax machines, and answering machines to receive calls  
automatically after hours. When Night Service is on, calls ring immediately at the  
appropriate extensions, so that no human intervention is required to transfer calls  
to the fax, modem, or answering machine. When Night Service is off, you can use  
the auxiliary equipment lines for normal business purposes, so that lines are  
dedicated to auxiliary equipment only after hours.  
By putting auxiliary equipment in the Night Service Group as described in this  
section, auxiliary equipment can start ringing and answering calls whenever you  
turn Night Service on. In other words, the Night Service button at extension 10  
acts like a switch, turning auxiliary equipment on and off, as well as putting the  
system into Night Service.  
NOTE:  
If you have a voice messaging system, turning Night Service on also  
activates Night Service operation of the voice messaging system.

Using Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment  
During the day, lines A and B do not ring at extensions X and Y. When you turn  
Night Service on, calls on line A ring immediately at the fax (extension X). Since  
that line is not assigned to any other extension in the Night Service Group, only  
extension X receives fax transmissions. Likewise, with Night Service on, calls on  
line B ring immediately at the modem (extension Y).  
NOTE:  
If answering machines are connected to Night Service extensions, you can  
join a call that was already answered by an answering machine from any  
system phone. If you have a Lucent Technologies answering machine with  
the Call Intercept feature, the answering machine drops off the call when  
you join it.  
Programming Night Service with Auxiliary  
Equipment  
1. If extension X and Y are key extensions, use Line Assignment (#301) to  
assign only line A to extension X (for the fax machine to cover) and only  
line B to extension Y (for the modem to cover).  
If extensions X and Y are pooled extensions, use Pool Line Assignment  
(#207) to remove lines A and B from all pools and Pool Extension  
Assignment (#314) to remove all pools from extensions X and Y. Also use  
Line Assignment (#301) to assign only line A to extension X (for the fax  
machine to cover) and only line B to extension Y (for the modem to cover).  
2. Set Line Ringing for line A at extension X and for line B at extension Y to  
No Ring.  
3. Make sure extensions X and Y are not assigned as Call Waiting (#316)  
extensions, Pickup Group Extensions (#501), Calling Group  
Extensions (#502), or Hunt Group Extensions (#505).  
4. Assign a Night Service Button (#503) at extension 10.  
5. Assign extensions X and Y to the Night Service Group (#504).

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
Voice Messaging Systems  
Three Lucent Technologies voice messaging systems are compatible with your  
system. You can install one of the three depending on your business needs:  
The PARTNER MAIL VS Voice Messaging System, which physically  
resembles a 206 module, resides in the control unit in a 2- or 4-port  
configuration.  
PARTNER Voice Messaging PC Card, in a 2-port configuration only,  
provides four mail boxes.  
The PARTNER MAIL Voice Messaging System, in a 2, 4 or 6-port  
configuration, is an auxiliary device that connects to the system through  
extension jacks.  
The PARTNER MAIL system also offers advanced voice mail features, such as  
outcalling, group lists, broadcast messages, and fax management. For complete  
details, contact your Lucent Technologies Representative or local Authorized  
Dealer, or refer to the documentation provided with the voice messaging system.  
Delayed Call Handling  
Figure 4-14 shows a PARTNER MAIL VS system that provides delayed call  
handling. This setup allows the receptionist at extension 10 to provide  
personalized service by answering calls during normal business hours. The  
PARTNER MAIL VS system (connected to extensions Z1 and Z2) handles calls  
when the receptionist is busy or not available, so calls do not go unanswered. The  
PARTNER MAIL VS system also answers calls received outside of business hours  
and prompts callers to leave a message in the receptionist’s mailbox.  
This example also includes two user extensions (X and Y), which are not  
automatically covered by the PARTNER MAIL VS system. This allows the  
receptionist to give the caller more personalized service; if the receptionist  
transfers a call to extension X or Y and that extension does not answer, the call  
returns to the receptionist. The receptionist can then take a message or send the  
call to the extension’s mailbox if the caller prefers.

Figure 4-14. Delayed Call Handling  
To Use  
Follow the instructions packaged with the PARTNER MAIL VS system to install it.  
During normal business hours, the PARTNER MAIL VS system uses generic rings  
for handling; the receptionist picks up all calls at extension 10. If the receptionist  
cannot answer within the specified number of rings, the system routes the call to  
the PARTNER MAIL VS system where the day menu plays to the caller. Outside of  
business hours (when Night Service is activated at extension 10), outside calls  
are answered directly by the PARTNER MAIL VS system. Any user who is in the  
office can pick up calls before the PARTNER MAIL VS system answers.  
To Program  
The following list summarizes the PARTNER Advanced Communications System  
programming procedures you use to implement the previous example:  
1. Use Group Call Distribution (#206) to assign all outside lines to Hunt  
Group 7 (the VMS hunt group) to provide Automated Attendant Service on  
these lines.  
2. Use Transfer Return Extension (#306) for extensions Z1 and Z2 to  
ensure that calls transferred by the PARTNER MAIL VS system return to  
extension 10 if they are not answered.  
3. Use Hunt Group Extensions (#505) to assign extensions Z1 and Z2 to  
Hunt Group 7 (the VMS hunt group).  
4. Set the VMS Hunt Delay (#506) to Delayed.  
5. Set the VMS Hunt Schedule (#507) to Always.  
6. Make sure that a Night Service Button (#503) is assigned at extension  
10—the receptionist’s extension. When Night Service is on, callers hear  
the night menu when no one is available to answer their calls.

Using Auxiliary Equipment  
7. Program a Voice Mailbox Transfer button at extension 10 to enable the  
receptionist to transfer calls directly to extension X’s and Y’s mailboxes  
without first ringing their phones. (This is useful when the receptionist  
knows that the users at extensions X and Y are away from their desks.)  
8. Program an Auto Dial button for the VMS hunt group (i 7 7 7) at  
extensions X and Y to allow the subscribers to call in for their messages  
with one touch.

Valid Entries (= factory setting)  
This chapter gives step-by-step instructions, using the following conventions:  
All of the instructions in this chapter assume that system phones select  
outside lines or pools first and standard phones select intercomStandard  
phones; Automatic Line Selection for first (as determined by each  
extension’s setting for Automatic Line Selection).  
See Chapter 2 for a review of the methods and buttons you can use while in  
programming mode.  
Programming instructions tell you to use the  
D
button to change values  
for specific settings. You can enter a value using the dialpad if you prefer.  
Similarly, there are different ways to exit programming mode as described in  
Chapter 2—use the method with which you are most comfortable.  
For Telephone Programming, this chapter provides only the instructions for  
Centralized Telephone Programming. To program from individual  
extensions, users should refer to their User Instruction Cards.  
Display prompts in the chapter are shown as they appear on  
PARTNER-model phones. If you are using an MLS-model phone, some of  
these prompts may be abbreviated.  
If you have trouble finding a feature name in this chapter, consult the index.  
Perhaps you know the feature by a different name. Or, if you know the feature by  
its System Programming procedure code or feature dial code, consult the  
numerical listings in the following section to find the correct feature name.

Feature Reference  
AA (Automated Attendant) Extensions (#607)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure lets you identify extensions where auto  
attendants are connected to the system. Doing so lets the system notify users  
with display phones when they are receiving a call that has been transferred from  
the auto attendant. (This procedure applies only to auto attendants—do not use it  
with the Automated Attendant Service of a voice messaging system.)  
Related Features  
For each auto attendant extension, use Transfer Return Extension (#306)  
to identify the extension to which a call should be routed if the destination  
extension does not answer.  
Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to Not Assigned for the auto  
attendant extension if you want to be able to intercept calls routed to the  
device.  
Considerations  
Chapter 4 provides information about using auto attendants with the  
system.  
On system display phones, Automated Attendant displays when a call is  
being transferred from an auto attendant. Transfer from AA or Transfer from  
Auto Att displays when a call transferred by an auto attendant was not  
answered and is being returned to your extension.

Feature Reference  
Abbreviated Ringing (#305)  
Description  
This feature applies only to system phones.  
This System Programming procedure activates or deactivates Abbreviated  
Ringing at the system phone at a specific extension. When a user is on a call and  
Abbreviated Ringing is Active, any incoming call rings only once. The green light  
next to the line or pool button flashes until the call is answered or the caller hangs  
up (or for a transferred call, until it returns to the transfer return extension). This  
feature prevents incoming calls from distracting users when they are busy on  
another call. To allow calls to ring repeatedly, set Abbreviated Ringing to Not  
Active.  
Considerations  
Abbreviated Ringing is typically set to Not Active for receptionists and  
others who handle many calls quickly, so they have an audible reminder of  
incoming calls.  
Abbreviated Ringing applies to outside, transferred, and intercom calls.  
The volume of an abbreviated ring is lower than a normal ring.  
Calls to a busy extension ring at a lower volume than normal even if  
Abbreviated Ring is set to Not Active.  
Valid Entries  
1 = Active (incoming calls ring once) ✔  
2 = Not Active (incoming calls ring repeatedly)  
Programming  
(See Figure 2-3 on page 2-22 for the location of special programming buttons such  
as s and e on system phones.)  
To change the Abbreviated Ringing setting for an extension:  
1. Press f 0 0 s s # 30 5 at extension  
10 or 11.  
2. Enter the number of the extension to be programmed. For example, to  
program extension 12, press 1 2.  
3. To set Abbreviated Ringing, press D until the appropriate value  
displays.  
4. To set Abbreviated Ringing for another extension, press n or  
p until the extension number shows on the display.  
Then repeat Step 3.  
5. Select another procedure or exit programming mode.

Account Code Entry (F12)  
Account Code Entry (F12)  
Description  
This feature can be used only from a system phone.  
This feature lets a user enter an account code (up to 16 digits) for an outside call  
(incoming or outgoing). An account code typically is used to identify a department,  
project, or client for charge-back or tracking purposes.  
Related Features  
You can use Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to identify system phone  
extensions that are required to enter an account code prior to dialing any  
outside number (including those on the Emergency Phone Number List). A  
forced account code must be entered at the beginning of a call; however, a  
different account code can be entered any time during the call.  
NOTE:  
With Release 3.0 or later, users can make 911 calls from the Forced  
Account Code extensions without entering the account code as long  
as 911 has been entered into the Emergency Phone Number List  
(#406).  
You can use Forced Account Code List (#409) to create a list of valid  
account codes, which should be distributed to the appropriate users. If a  
Forced Account Code List exists, the system checks the list whenever a  
user enters a forced account code. If the code is valid, the system provides  
the user access to an outside line. If the code is invalid, the system denies  
the user access to an outside line.  
For faster entry of frequently used account codes, you can program an  
account code on an Auto Dial button or as a System or Personal Speed  
Dial number (but not as a Marked System Speed Dial Number). See Auto  
Numbers for programming instructions.  
Considerations  
When an account code is entered during a call, the caller on the other end  
does not hear the touch-tone digits dialed.  
If SMDR is used, the account code assigned to incoming or outgoing calls  
prints on call reports. [See ‘‘Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)’’ on page 4-9 for  
more information about call reporting.]  
If an account code is entered for an outgoing call and the call is transferred  
to another extension, the call report shows the originating extension as the  
owner of the call. Conversely, if an account code is entered for an incoming  
call and the call is transferred to another extension, the call report shows  
the destination extension as the owner of the call.  
5-7  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
Feature Reference  
Account codes can be changed during a call. However, only the person  
who entered the original account code can enter a different account code.  
SMDR prints changed account codes as follows:  
— For optional or forced account code entry without a Forced Account  
Code List, the call report prints the last account code entered.  
— For forced account code entry with a Forced Account Code List, the  
call report prints the last valid account code entered. If the changed  
account code is not valid, the report prints the original account code.  
If a Forced Account Code List exists, you can check to see if an account  
code is valid when entering or changing an account code by pressing  
f 1 2 after entering the account code. If the account code is not  
valid, you will hear a denial tone.  
The Lucent Technologies Call Accounting Terminal uses less than 16 digits  
for an account code. Refer to the device’s documentation to determine the  
maximum digits supported.  
You can program the Account Code Entry feature code on a button on a  
system phone. It is recommended that you use a button with lights. (This  
button can be used for optional Account Code Entry or Forced Account  
Code Entry.)  
Programming  
(See Figure 2-3 on page 2-22 for the location of special programming buttons such  
as s and e on system phones.)  
To program an Account Code Entry button:  
1. Press f 0 0 s s c at extension  
10 or 11.  
2. Enter the number of the extension to be programmed with this feature.  
3. Press a programmable button, preferably one with lights.

Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407)  
Allowed Phone Number Lists (#407)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure specifies telephone numbers that users can  
dial regardless of other dialing restrictions, as long as they have access to an  
outside line. For example, if you restrict an entire category of calls through  
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404), you can permit calls to a specific  
number in that category by placing that number on an Allowed Phone Number  
List. Using this procedure, you can create up to eight lists of up to 10 telephone  
numbers each.  
Related Features  
After completing this procedure, you must use Allowed List Assignments  
(#408) to assign the Allowed Phone Number Lists to specific extensions.  
Allowed Phone Number Lists override Disallowed Phone Number Lists  
(#404) and Outgoing Call Restriction (#401), but not Line Access  
Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315) or Night Service  
Button (#503) with a System Password (#403). (There are other ways of  
overriding restrictions—see Marked System Speed Dial Numbers,  
for more information.)  
The entries you must make to permit or restrict long-distance calls differ  
depending on the setting for Toll Call Prefix (#402). This setting tells the  
system whether a “0” (for operator-assisted calls) or “1” (for direct-dial  
calls) is required when users make long-distance calls.  
If Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, after a valid star code is dialed,  
the system resets the dialing restrictions to check the number beginning  
with the first digit after the star code II &starcode[v].  
Considerations  
Each list entry can include up to 12 digits. You can use the wildcard  
character (by pressing the h button on a system phone) to match any  
single digit (it appears as “!” on the telephone display).  
If you are restricting an extension from placing long-distance calls, do not  
place numbers beginning with a “0” on an Allowed Phone Number List for  
the extension. Once a user is active on an operator-assisted call, the user  
will be able to avoid dialing restrictions by asking the operator to dial  
restricted numbers.  
If you want to go to another programming procedure when entering phone  
numbers in a list, you must use N or P to do so since  
entering # and a three-digit code will be considered data for the telephone  
number.

Answering Calls  
Description  
This section describes how users can answer calls ringing at their own  
extensions. Additional features enable users to pick up calls at other extensions—  
see “Related Features” below.  
Related Features  
A user can join a call in progress at another extension, as long as Privacy  
is not on for that extension (see Joining Calls).  
A user can answer a call ringing at another specific extension or at any  
extension in a group. For more information, see Call Pickup and Group  
A user can use Direct Line Pickup—Active Line to answer calls on lines  
not assigned to the user’s phone.  
A user can program the Voice Interrupt on Busy Talk-Back feature on a  
button with lights to respond to a voice interrupt on busy call. Also see  
You can use Call Waiting (#316) to specify standard phone extensions that  
can receive a call-waiting tone and a second incoming call.  
Considerations  
Calls that are answered by pressing a pool button can be held,  
conferenced, or transferred; however, pool buttons cannot be used to join  
calls.  
There are several ways to access a line for answering calls:  
— On either a system phone or a standard phone, lift the handset to  
answer a ringing call (if more than one call is ringing at a system  
phone, you get the call that has been ringing for the longest time).  
— On a system phone, press a specific line, pool, or i button.  
You can also use Direct Line Pickup to pick up a ringing or held call,  
or to join an active call, by dialing i 6 8 and the two-digit  
line number.  
— On a standard phone, you can use Direct Line Pickup to pick up a  
ringing or held call, or to join an active call on a specific line: at  
intercom dial tone, dial 6 8 and the two-digit line number.  
For system phones and most standard phones, the user can identify the  
type of call by the system’s ringing patterns. System display phones can  
also show in the display the type of call that is ringing at the extension.  
(See ‘‘Ringing Patterns’’ on page 3-6.) Note that there are no unique ringing  
patterns for coverage calls or forwarded calls.

How to Answer Calls Ringing at Your Extension  
System Phone  
You can answer a call on any line or pool that is ringing, or select a specific line or  
pool if more than one is ringing:  
When the telephone is ringing, lift the handset.  
You are connected to the incoming call. If more than one line or pool is  
ringing, you are connected to the line or pool that has been ringing for the  
longest time. If the call is an intercom call and you have a display phone,  
the caller’s extension number, and name if programmed, appear on your  
display until you pick up the handset or press S.  
To answer a call on a specific line, pool, or intercom button:  
1. Press the line, pool, or button for the line you want to answer.  
2. Lift the handset or press S.  
You are connected to the call.  
To answer a call when you are already on a call:  
1. Press h.  
The call you are on is placed on hold.  
2. Press the button for the new call.  
You are connected to the new call.  
3. To return to the first call, put the second call on hold; then press the  
line, pool, or i button for the first call.  
To answer a voice-signaled call (your phone beeps and you hear the  
caller’s voice):  
— If the microphone is on, you can speak after the beep.  
— If the microphone is not on, press! or lift the handset.  
To respond to a voice interrupt on busy call (you hear two beeps and the  
originator’s voice—be aware that the third party to whom you are speaking  
probably also will hear the two beeps and the faint sound of the originator’s  
voice):  
1. Ask the party with whom you are speaking to hold, but do not put the  
call on hold.  
2. Press the Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button.  
The green light next to the Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button  
turns on. Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back is activated.  
3. Respond to the originator of the voice interrupt on busy call.  
The third party with whom you were originally speaking does not  
hear your response, but you can hear that third party.

Feature Reference  
4. Press the Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button again (whether  
or not the originator has hung up) to resume the conversation with  
the third party.  
The green light next to the Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button  
turns off. Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back is deactivated. The  
originator hears two beeps if he or she did not hang up previously.  
To answer a coverage call:  
1. If your phone is a covering extension and it rings, check your display  
to see if the ringing call is a coverage call. Also, if you have an Auto  
Dial button for the originating extension, the green light next to the  
button flutters while the coverage call is ringing at your extension  
(and it is the next ringing call you will answer if you lift the handset).  
2. Lift the handset.  
You are connected to the coverage call.  
3. The first coverage call to ring at your extension is identified in the  
display. If more than one coverage call rings at your extension, you  
can press the Caller ID Inspect button. Then press the line, pool, or  
i button next to the flashing green light to view the number of  
the extension from which a coverage call is being sent.  
Standard Phone  
If your standard phone has a button labeled “Recall” or “Flash,” use this button  
whenever you are instructed to press the switchhook.  
To answer a call:  
When the telephone is ringing, lift the handset.  
You are connected to the incoming call.  
To answer a call when you are already on a call (you hear a call waiting  
tone—two beeps):  
1. Press the switchhook.  
The call you are on is placed on hold and you are connected to the  
new call.  
2. To return to the first call, press the switchhook again.  
3. You can continue to press the switchhook to move back and forth  
between the two calls.  
You cannot transfer either party, conference in additional parties, or  
use feature codes while both calls are active.

Auto Dialing  
Auto Dialing  
Description  
Auto Dial buttons can be programmed only on system phones.  
This Telephone Programming procedure lets system phone users dial outside  
numbers, extension numbers, feature codes, or account codes with a single  
touch, by pressing a programmed button. If an extension number is stored on an  
Auto Dial button, the user can dial, signal, or transfer calls to the extension by  
pressing the button. An Auto Dial number can be stored on any programmable  
button (a button with no line or pool assigned) on a system phone.  
Related Features  
You can use the Auto Dial button instead of dialing the two-digit extension  
number required for these features: Call Coverage, Call Forwarding/Call  
Follow-Me, Call Park, Message Light On, Message Light Off, Station  
Unlock, and Voice Mailbox Transfer.  
To set up a Fax Management button, program the fax extension number on  
an Auto Dial button with lights. Special light patterns on the Auto Dial button  
for the fax extension indicate fax machine status. Chapter 4 provides more  
information about using a Fax Management button. Identify fax extensions  
using Fax Machine Extensions (#601).  
You can include special functions, such as a Pause, in the Auto Dial  
number. See Special Dialing Functions for more information.  
An Auto Dial number can begin with a star code; the system automatically  
inserts a delay based on the Star Code Dial Delay (#410) setting.  
This feature cannot be used with Call Screening (F25).  
Considerations  
If you program an extension number on a button with lights, the lights show  
calling activity at the extension (see ‘‘Lights’’ on page 3-4).  
You can connect an Intercom Autodialer to the system phones at extension  
10 and 11 to have Auto Dial buttons for all of the extensions in your system.  
Each user can have only one Auto Dial button—either on the system phone  
or on the Autodialer—for another extension in the system. That button can  
be programmed for intercom ringing, intercom voice signaling, or manual  
signaling.  
When programming emergency numbers for Auto Dialing and/or making  
test calls to those numbers, you should: 1) Remain on the line and briefly  
explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up and 2)  
Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late  
evening.  
5-17

Feature Reference  
Auto Dial buttons do not override dialing restrictions for an extension.  
PARTNER-6 phones have only four buttons available for lines, pools,  
and/or Auto Dial numbers.  
A combined total of 800 outside Auto Dial and Personal Speed Dial  
numbers can be programmed.  
For PBX or Centrex systems that require a dial-out code to make calls  
outside the PBX or Centrex system, include the dial-out code followed by  
one or more pauses (if available) on an Auto Dial button for a number  
outside the PBX or Centrex system. (See ‘‘Changing Settings to Support  
PBX or Centrex Services’’ on page 2-11 for more information.)  
Examples  
The examples below show some possible entries for an Auto Dial number in  
Step 4 of “Programming.”  
Outside Phone Number. Enter the phone number (up to 28 digits) exactly  
as you would dial it. For example, to program 555-2398, press 5 5 5 2  
3 9 8.  
Extension Number. Press the left i button and enter the two-digit  
extension number. Press * before the extension number to program the  
Auto Dial button to voice signal an extension. For example, to program  
extension 20 for voice signaling, press Intercom * 2 0. The display  
reads:  
Intercom *20  
Feature Code. Enter the appropriate code. For example, to program a  
button to turn on the message light at extension 20, press f 0 9 2  
0. When you press the programmed button, the Message Light at  
extension 20 turns on.

Automatic Extension Privacy (#304)  
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure lets you prevent a user from joining an  
active call at an extension. When Automatic Extension Privacy is Assigned for an  
extension, other users cannot join active calls at that extension. This feature is  
typically used for standard phones and extensions connected to fax machines,  
modems, and credit card scanners, which make and receive data calls that should  
not be interrupted. This feature can provide the Privacy function for standard  
phones.  
Related Features  
Users cannot join calls in progress on pool buttons regardless of the setting  
for this procedure or the state of the Privacy button. See to add a party to a  
call in progress on a pool button.  
To manually change an extension’s Privacy state, system phone users can  
program the Privacy feature on a button with lights. Users can then press  
the Privacy button to activate the feature (green light on) or deactivate the  
feature (green light off) when they want someone to join a call at their  
extension. (If Automatic Extension Privacy is Assigned at an extension, the  
green light is lit automatically after programming the Privacy button to  
indicate that Privacy is currently active. If this is the case, and the Privacy  
button is pressed, the feature is deactivated. To activate Privacy again, you  
must press the button.)  
This feature applies only to active calls. Any user can retrieve a held call  
unless Exclusive Hold is used.  
Automatic Extension Privacy must be turned off to use Call Screening  
(F25) for other users to join onto a call. If a user bridges onto the call, a  
forward disconnect signal is sent to the voice messaging system, causing it  
to disconnect from the call. This causes the screening station to be  
dropped from the call, and the person who bridged onto the call is now  
talking to the calling party.  
Considerations  
If you want to be able to intercept calls routed to an auxiliary device—such  
as an answering machine, a voice messaging system, or an auto  
attendant—make sure Automatic Extension Privacy is Not Assigned for the  
auxiliary equipment extension.  
Standard phones and system phones without a programmed Privacy  
button cannot override this feature once it is assigned to an extension.

Automatic Line Selection  
Automatic Line Selection  
Description  
This Telephone Programming procedure determines the line or pool a user is  
connected to after lifting the handset or turning on the speaker to make a call. The  
system looks for lines or pools in the order specified by this procedure and selects  
the first available line or pool. For example, if you specify outside lines or pools  
first for an extension, but all outside lines or pools are busy, the user will hear the  
intercom dial tone after lifting the handset or turning on the speaker.  
Related Features  
To copy the Automatic Line Selection setting (as well as other system  
settings) to other extensions, you can use Copy Settings (#399).  
If Forced Account Code Entry (#307) is assigned to an extension,  
Automatic Line Selection for that extension does not apply. This means the  
user must manually select a line or pool after entering a required account  
code.  
For an extension identified as an Hotline (#603) or Doorphone Extension  
(#604/#605), program the extension to select only the intercom, with no  
outside lines in the selection sequence.  
For an extension identified as an External Hotline (#311), program the  
extension to select outside lines or pools first.  
Considerations  
This feature must be programmed from extension 10 or 11 only, using  
Centralized Telephone Programming. Individual users cannot program this  
feature directly.  
You should program Automatic Line Selection when you first enter  
Centralized Telephone Programming, before programming any other  
features. However, if you want to program both Automatic Line Selection  
and Extension Name Display (which also must be programmed when you  
first enter Centralized Telephone Programming), first program Automatic  
Line Selection, then exit and re-enter Centralized Telephone Programming  
to program Extension Name Display.  
For standard touch-tone or rotary phones, or for any phone used mainly to  
call other extensions, program the extension to select intercom first.  
For combination extensions, the automatic line selection for both devices  
(including a standard device) follows the automatic line selection for the  
extension.  
You do not need to include all available lines or pools for an extension, only  
the ones you want the system to search through and connect automatically.

Feature Reference  
Valid Entries  
Key Extension: Outside system lines, Left Intercom ✔  
Pooled Extension: Pool 880 button 1, button 2, Left Intercom, Right Intercom ✔  
Pools 881-883, individual lines  
Examples: System Phone  
At key extensions, with Automatic Line Selection at its factory setting, the system  
first searches to find an idle outside line in numerical order (starting with the  
lowest line number). Then, if all outside lines are busy, the system searches for an  
idle intercom line. This order can be changed, however, to accommodate your  
business needs. For example, a telemarketing firm with a WATS line (line 5) to  
reduce telephone expenses would set Automatic Line Selection for all  
telemarketers’ extensions to “05, 01, 02, 03, 04, Intercom.” This way the WATS  
line would be selected first.  
At pooled extensions, with Automatic Line Selection at its factory setting, the  
system first searches to find an available line in the main pool (pool 880 button 1,  
then button 2). If all outside lines in the pool are busy, the system selects an idle  
intercom line. However, you can change the order to accommodate a different  
automatic line selection. For example, your boss prefers her individual line (line  
15) to be selected when she lifts the handset then auxiliary pool 881, which is  
used for making international calls. To do this, set Automatic Line Selection to  
“15, 881, Intercom.”  
Examples: Standard Phone  
If a standard phone user intends to place intercom calls and access system  
features, Automatic Line Selection for his or her extension should be set to  
intercom first for proper operation. For example, the setting for a standard phone  
in a lobby, used for internal calling or making local calls on line 1, would be  
“Intercom, 1.”  
Programming  
(See Figure 2-3 on page 2-22 for the location of special programming buttons such  
as s and e on system phones.)

Automatic System Answer Button (#111)—Release 2.0  
or Later  
Automatic System Answer Button  
(#111)—Release 2.0 or Later  
This feature is available only on the system phone at extension 10.  
This System Programming procedure identifies a button to be used to turn  
Automatic System Answer (ASA) on and off. This feature helps the receptionist  
answer calls during busy periods.  
When an outside call rings on a line programmed with Automatic System Answer,  
the system answers it after a specified number of rings and plays a short  
user-recorded greeting to the caller. Then, depending on how Automatic System  
Answer Mode (#121) is programmed, the system does one of the following:  
Places the call on hold at extension 10 (the light next to the line button  
winks green at extension 10 and winks red at all other extensions that have  
the line); the outside caller hears Music-on-Hold, if it is available.  
Continues to ring all extensions that have access to the line (the green light  
next to the line button at those extensions flash); the outside caller hears  
Music-on-Hold, if it is available.  
Disconnects the call.  
Related Features  
Automatic System Answer affects incoming calls only on lines identified  
using Automatic System Answer Lines (#204).  
Calls that ring on lines programmed with Automatic System Answer are  
picked up after two rings, as a default. To change the number of rings, use  
Automatic System Answer Delay (#110).  
You must use Automatic System Answer Record/Playback to record the  
greeting callers hear when the system answers an incoming call.  
For callers to hear Music-on-Hold, Music-on-Hold (#602) must be Active  
and an audio source must be connected to the primary processor module.  
You can set SMDR Talk Time (#611) to Active to include the Talk field on  
call reports. For an incoming outside call answered by Automatic System  
Answer, this field shows the call duration minus the time the greeting  
played and the caller waited for someone to answer the call.  
The Automatic System Answer button returns to the status (on/off) it was in  
before a power failure occurred or System Reset (#728) was used.  
Automatic System Answer Mode should not be set to Hold or Ring if the  
disconnect signal from the local telephone company is not recognized by  
Hold Disconnect Time (#203).  
When the Caller ID Log Answered Call (#317) feature is active, Caller ID  
calls answered by Automatic System Answer in Disconnect Mode are not  
logged as answered (or unanswered) at any extension.

Feature Reference  
Calls answered by Automatic System Answer in Hold Mode are not logged  
by the Caller ID Logging and Dialing feature at extension 10 unless  
extension 10 is programmed to log answered calls using Caller ID Log  
Answered Calls (#317).  
Direct Extension Dial is an alternative system answering feature that lets  
outside callers dial an extension or Hunt Group number directly, without the  
aid of the receptionist.  
Considerations  
The Automatic System/Direct Extension Dial PC card is purchased  
separately and must be installed (see PARTNER PC Card Installation  
Instructions).  
Use the Automatic System Answer Record/Playback feature to record a  
message before using Automatic System Answer since there is no default  
message.  
An Automatic System Answer button must be programmed on a button with  
lights on the system display phone at extension 10. (This feature will not  
work if it is programmed on a button without lights.)

Automatic System Answer Delay  
(#110)—Release 2.0 or Later  
Description  
This System Programming procedure specifies the number of times (0–9) an  
incoming call should ring before it is answered by the Automatic System Answer  
feature.  
Related Features  
After a call is answered, Automatic System Answer plays a greeting then  
either places the call on hold, provides continuous ringing, or disconnects  
the call depending on the setting of Automatic System Answer Mode  
(#121).  
Automatic System Answer affects incoming calls only on lines identified  
using Automatic System Answer Lines (#204).  
You must program a button on the system display phone at extension 10 to  
turn Automatic System Answer on and off. Use Automatic System  
Answer Button (#111) to program the button.  
You must use Automatic System Answer Record/Playback to record the  
greeting callers hear when the system answers an incoming call.  
You can set SMDR Talk Time (#611) to Active to include the Talk field on  
call reports. For an incoming outside call answered by Automatic System  
Answer, this field shows the call duration minus the time the greeting  
played and the caller waited for someone to answer the call.  
If you use Caller ID, make sure Automatic System Answer Delay is set to 2  
rings or more to ensure that Caller ID information is captured.  
Considerations  
The Automatic System/Direct Extension Dial PC card is purchased  
separately and must be installed (see PARTNER PC Card Installation  
Instructions).  
Use the Automatic System Answer Record/Playback feature to record a  
message before using Automatic System Answer since there is no default  
message.  
This feature works independently of Line Ringing, which determines how  
an outside call rings at the extension—immediately, after a 20 second  
delay, or not at all. Automatic System Answer Delay specifies the number of  
rings a caller hears before the system answers the call.

Automatic VMS Cover (#310)  
Automatic VMS Cover (#310)  
Description  
This feature applies only if you have a voice messaging system.  
This System Programming procedure automatically routes an extension’s  
unanswered intercom and transferred calls to the Call Answer Service of the voice  
messaging system after a specified number of rings (default for all system  
extensions is three rings), so callers can leave a message.  
Related Features  
To manually change an extension’s VMS Cover state, users can program  
the VMS Cover feature on a button with lights. Users can then press the  
VMS Cover button to activate the feature (green light on) or deactivate the  
feature (green light off). (If Automatic VMS Cover is Assigned at an  
extension, the green light is lit automatically after programming the VMS  
Cover button to indicate that VMS Cover is currently active. If this is the  
case, and the VMS Cover button is pressed, the feature is deactivated. To  
activate VMS Cover again, you must press the button.)  
Automatic VMS Cover also applies to outside calls on lines assigned  
ownership with Line Coverage Extension (#208).  
Use VMS Cover Rings (#117) or (#321) to change the number of times  
intercom and transferred calls or outside calls on lines assigned ownership  
ring at all system extensions before they are sent to the voice messaging  
system.  
Users with Automatic VMS Cover turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to  
Send All Calls immediately to their voice mailbox.  
If an extension has Automatic VMS Cover and Call Coverage active, calls  
ring at the covering extension after the specified number of Call Coverage  
Rings (#116) or (#320). If the covering extension does not answer, the call  
is routed to the voice mailbox of the extension that activated Call Coverage  
after the specified amount of VMS cover rings.  
If an extension has Automatic VMS Cover and Call Forwarding active,  
calls ring at the forwarding destination; they are not covered by the voice  
messaging system.

Background Music (F19)  
Background Music (F19)  
Description  
This feature is available only on system phones with speakers.  
This feature provides background music through the speaker of an idle system  
phone for a user’s work area. Background Music plays the recorded material from  
the Music-on-Hold audio source.  
Related Features  
Background Music is available only if Music-on-Hold (#602) is active and an  
audio source is connected to the processor module.  
Considerations  
The Background Music feature broadcasts music over telephone lines. The  
performance of music over telephone lines is a public performance under  
United States Copyright law. Accordingly, in order for the performance of  
that music to be lawful, it must be licensed annually to the user by the  
copyright owners or their representatives (such as ASCAP or BMI).  
The Magic on Hold system includes the required license for the first year.  
This license must be renewed annually.  
Background Music stops when a user makes or answers a call, but  
resumes when the phone becomes idle again.  
If a system phone and a standard phone with a message waiting light are  
connected in a combination extension, the standard phone’s message  
waiting light will not light if Background Music is on at the system phone.  
You can program a Background Music button on a system phone to use the  
feature with one touch. A button with lights is recommended.  
Call Screening (F25) overrides Background Music.

Backup Programming—Automatic (#123)  
Description  
The backup of system and telephone programming is optional, but recommended.  
This System Programming procedure determines whether the automatic backup  
of all programming (except the system date, day, and time) occurs or not. The  
default setting is Not Active. When Backup Programming—Automatic is set to  
Active, the information is backed up at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of each month  
(determined by the system date and time settings) to a Backup/Restore PC Card.  
NOTE:  
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which  
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and  
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA  
card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS  
to Release 3.0.  
If Backup Programming—Automatic is Active and an automatic backup fails, a  
Backup-Failure Alarm message appears (instead of the system date and time) on  
the top line of the telephone display at idle extensions 10 and 11. The message  
will be one of the following:  
See Chapter 6, ‘‘Troubleshooting’’ for an explanation of these messages and  
suggested corrective actions, and for the procedure for clearing the  
Backup-Failure Alarm message.  
Related Features  
Verify that the System Date (#101), System Day (#102), and System  
Time (#103) are set correctly, so that the automatic backup occurs at the  
correct time. These settings are not backed up.  
You can use Backup Programming—Manual (#124) in place of or to  
supplement the automatic backups, if desired.  
Once the system and telephone programming settings have been backed  
up to a PC Card, you can use the Restore Programming (#125)  
procedure to restore the settings if they become corrupted. You can also  
use Restore Programming (#125) to verify the date on a backup file.

Considerations  
To perform either automatic or manual backups, purchase a  
Backup/Restore PC Card from Lucent Technologies. If the PC Card has not  
been installed, see PARTNER PC Card Installation Instructions.  
Whenever the setting for Backup Programming—Automatic is changed  
from Not Active to Active, a backup will occur at the next occurrence of  
2:00 a.m. After that, backups will be done at 2:00 a.m. on the first day of  
each month until the setting is changed back to Not Active.  
NOTE:  
Although you can change the setting for Backup Programming—  
Automatic (#123) without having a Backup/Restore in the PC Card  
slot, you must have a PC Card in the slot before a backup can take  
place. It is recommended that you leave the Backup/Restore PC Card  
in PC Card Slot 2.  
Slot 2 is recommended for the Backup/Restore PC Card; however, either  
slot can be used. If the system detects Backup/Restore PC Cards in both  
slots when a backup begins, the first slot is used and the second is ignored.  
The same Backup/Restore PC Card can be used for both automatic and  
manual backups, since the data is recorded in two separate files. An  
automatic backup replaces the AUTO.mmddyy file only (where mmddyy  
represents the date of the backup in month, day, year format), and a  
manual backup replaces the MAN.mmddyy file only. Restore  
Programming (#125) asks you to specify which backup file you want to  
use.

Feature Reference  
Call Coverage  
(F20,XX,XX)—Release 2.0 or Later  
Description  
This feature redirects all intercom, transferred, and outside calls on lines assigned  
ownership from a user’s extension to another system extension (where XX is a  
system extension number) for coverage. When Call Coverage is activated,  
covered calls are routed to the covering extension after a specified number of  
rings. Callers can then leave a message with the person at the covering  
extension. This feature is helpful for users who want their callers to have  
personalized service when they are unable to answer calls.  
Related Features  
You must use Line Coverage Extension (#208) to designate an extension  
as the owner of a specific outside line, so the extension can activate Call  
Coverage for that line. An extension’s owned line is eligible for coverage  
only if Line Ringing is set to Immediate Ring or Delayed Ring and Line  
Access Restriction (#302) or Pool Access Restriction (#315) is set to  
No Restriction or In Only.  
You can use Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320) to specify the number  
of times a covered call rings at an extension before it is sent to the covering  
extension.  
If Call Coverage and Do Not Disturb are active, covered calls are routed  
immediately to the covering extension, without ringing the extension first.  
You can turn on Call Coverage while a call is ringing, to send a call  
immediately for coverage. Similarly, if Call Coverage is on and a call begins  
to ring, you can turn on Do Not Disturb to send that call immediately for  
coverage. (See Send All Calls.)  
If an extension has Call Coverage and VMS Cover active, covered calls  
ring at the covering extension for the specified number of Call Coverage  
Rings. Then:  
— If the covering extension does not answer, the call is routed to the  
voice mailbox of the extension that activated Call Coverage after the  
specified number of VMS Cover Rings (#117) or (#321).  
— If the covering extension has Do Not Disturb active, the call is  
routed immediately to the voice mailbox of the extension that  
activated Call Coverage.  
If an extension has Call Coverage active without voice mail coverage,  
covered calls ring at the covering extension for the specified number of Call  
Coverage Rings. Outside and intercom calls continue to ring at the  
covering extension until the call is answered or the caller hangs up.

Call Coverage (F20,XX,XX)—Release 2.0 or Later  
For transferred calls:  
— If the covering extension does not answer, the call goes to the  
transfer return extension after the specified number of Transfer  
Return Rings (#105).  
— If the covering extension has Do Not Disturb active, the call rings  
one more time at the user’s extension before it goes to the transfer  
return extension.  
If an extension has Call Coverage and Call Forwarding active, calls are  
routed to the Call Forwarding destination extension (Call Forwarding takes  
precedence).  
If a user at a covering extension has a system display phone and is busy on  
a call, he or she can use Caller ID Inspect to view the number of the  
extension from which a coverage call is being sent. If a user is not active on  
a call and multiple coverage calls are ringing, he or she can press the line,  
pool, or i buttons to view the number of the extension from which  
each coverage call is being sent; however, if the user picks up the handset,  
he or she will join or answer the call that was previously ringing at the  
originating extension shown on the display.  
Call Coverage does not apply to parked calls. See Call Park.  
If you want calls answered by Call Coverage to be logged as unanswered  
calls, use the Call Log Line Associations (#318) feature to associate the  
lines with extensions for logging unanswered calls.  
You can use this feature while using Call Screening (F25).  
Considerations  
A system display phone is recommended for the covering extension so the  
user can identify coverage calls. Coverage Call for XXappears on the  
display when a coverage call rings at a covering extension rather than  
Caller ID information, if available.  
If the covering extension has an Auto Dial button for the originating  
extension, the light shows green flutter while the coverage call is ringing at  
the covering extension. If the user at the extension lifts the handset, he or  
she will be connected to this call.  
Intercom, transferred, and outside calls on lines assigned ownership can  
be covered. Group calls, forwarded calls, transfer-return calls,  
voice-signaled calls, Voice Interrupt on Busy calls, Wake-Up Service calls,  
and calls to doorphone alert extensions cannot be covered.  
Do not designate any of the extensions in Hunt Group 7, which contains the  
extensions associated with the voice messaging system, as a covering  
extension.  
A single extension can cover multiple extensions; however, an extension  
programmed for Call Coverage can have only one covering extension. Only  
one Call Coverage button can be programmed per extension.

Feature Reference  
The user at an extension who has activated Call Coverage can intercept an  
outside call routed for coverage by pressing the outside line button.  
You can program Call Coverage on a button on a system phone. Use a  
button with lights if you want a visual indication when your calls are being  
covered. When the green light is on, your calls are being covered; when the  
green light is off, Call Coverage is not active.  
If the Call Coverage feature code and optional originating and covering  
extensions are programmed on a button with lights, you can use the button  
to turn Call Coverage on and off with one touch. (The lights show when Call  
Coverage is on, even if calls are covered by a different extension than the  
one stored on the button, and you can still use the button to turn Call  
Coverage off.)

Feature Reference  
Call Forwarding/Call Follow-Me (F11,XX,XX)  
Description  
This feature forwards all intercom, transferred, and outside calls from a user’s  
extension to another system extension (where XX is an extension number). Users  
can activate this feature from their own extension (Call Forwarding) or from any  
other extension in the system (Call Follow-Me).  
Related Features  
An extension’s outside calls on lines or pools assigned to the extension are  
eligible for Call Forwarding only if Line Ringing is set to Immediate Ring or  
Delayed Ring and Line Access Restriction (#302) or Pool Access  
Restriction (#315) is set to No Restriction or In Only.  
If an extension in a Hunt Group (#505) activates Call Forwarding, the  
system considers the extension unavailable when a call goes to the Hunt  
Group.  
If an extension has VMS Cover and Call Forwarding active, calls ring at the  
Call Forwarding destination extension; they are not covered by the voice  
messaging system.  
If an extension has Call Coverage and Call Forwarding active, calls are  
routed to the Call Forwarding destination extension (Call Forwarding takes  
precedence).  
Calls forwarded and unanswered at both the originating extension and the  
forwarded extension will be logged as unanswered calls by the Caller ID  
Logging feature at both extensions. If the forwarded call is answered at the  
forwarded extension, it will not be logged unless the Caller ID Log  
Answered Calls (#317) feature is set to log answered calls.  
Call Forwarding does not apply to parked calls. See Call Park.  
You can use this feature while using Call Screening (F25).  
Considerations  
You can forward outside, intercom, and transferred calls. You cannot  
forward group calls, calls to doorphone alert extensions, voice-signaled  
calls, Voice Interrupt on Busy calls, coverage calls or transfer-return calls.  
Calls cannot be forwarded outside the system.  
The phone at the extension from which calls are being forwarded beeps  
once each time a call is forwarded (unless Do Not Disturb is active).  
Do not forward your calls to any of the extensions in Hunt Group 7, which  
contains the extensions associated with the voice messaging system.

Call Forwarding/Call Follow-Me (F11,XX,XX)  
At an extension that has Call Forwarding activated, if multiple calls are  
ringing, the system forwards them one at a time. This means that each  
subsequent call is not forwarded until the previous call is finished.  
If you press the Call Forwarding button after a call starts to ring, that call  
will not be forwarded.  
You can program Call Forwarding on a button on a system phone. Use a  
button with lights if you want a visual indication when your calls are  
forwarded. When the green light is on, your calls are forwarded; when the  
green light is off, calls ring at your extension.  
If the Call Forwarding feature code and optional originating and destination  
extensions are programmed on a button with lights, you can use the button  
to turn Call Forwarding on and off with one touch. (The lights show when  
Call Forwarding is on, even if calls are forwarded to a different extension  
than the one stored on the button, and you can still use the button to turn  
Call Forwarding off.)

Call Park  
Call Park  
Description  
This feature allows you to “park” a call, or put it on a special type of hold, so it can  
be picked up from any phone in the system.  
Related Features  
Use Call Pickup to retrieve parked calls.  
When a call is parked, the caller hears Music-on-Hold (#602) if it is active  
and an audio source is connected to the processor module, regardless of  
the Ring on Transfer (#119) setting.  
If you frequently park calls and you have a system phone, program your  
extension number on an Auto Dial button, so you can park a call simply by  
pressing the button. See Auto Dialing.  
Other ways of placing a call on hold include Hold and Exclusive Hold.  
Parked calls do not receive Call Waiting, Call Coverage, Call  
Forwarding, or VMS Cover.  
Considerations  
Call Park typically is used for pooled extensions in Hybrid mode, because  
users can retrieve calls without knowing which line the call is on.  
It is recommended that you park only one call at a time from your extension  
to ensure that you know which caller you are talking to when you pick up  
the parked call.  
Call Park is useful for standard phone users because they can retrieve a  
parked call without knowing which line the call is on.  
Using  
System Phone  
(See Figure 2-3 on page 2-22 for the location of special programming buttons such  
as s and e on system phones.)  
To park a call:  
1. While on a call, press & and dial your two-digit extension number or  
press the Auto Dial button programmed for your extension.  
2. Hang up.  
If the call is not picked up within three minutes, it rings back at your  
extension. If you used an Auto Dial button, the green light next to the button  
flutters.

Call Screening (F25)—Release 3.0 or Later  
Call Screening (F25)—Release 3.0 or Later  
Description  
This feature applies only if you have a voice messaging system, and an MLS  
or PARTNER system phone. This feature is not available on Tip/Ring  
phones.  
Call Screening allows a user to listen to a caller leaving a message in the user’s  
mailbox.  
NOTE:  
It is recommended for security purposes that you use Station Lock (F21) to  
prevent misuse of this feature. If Station Lock (F21) is activated, Call  
Screening will not work.  
Centralized Programming is required to program Call Screening on an extension  
button. Once the button is programmed, the user can turn the feature on (“prime”  
it) by pressing the button. Calls will now be screened until the user turns the  
feature off by pressing the button again.  
When the feature is primed, Call Screening begins once the voice mail system  
has answered the call. While the call is being screened, the user is connected to  
the call in a listen-only mode on the speakerphone. The user is able to hear both  
the outgoing announcement and the incoming caller leaving the message.  
One call can be screened at a time at an extension. If more than one call is  
ringing, the system uses the ringing line order procedure to determine which of  
the eligible calls to screen.  
Once Call Screening begins, the user can:  
Answer the screened call by going off-hook on the handset. This causes  
voice mail to drop off the call.  
Turn the feature off by pressing the call screening button again. The  
telephone drops off the call, but the voice mail system will not drop off the  
call.  
Answer or place another call. This causes the telephone to drop off the call  
LED Indicators  
A green steady LED for the button indicates that Call Screening is primed, but not  
currently screening any calls. While a call is being screened, the button LEDs  
alternately flash red and green to indicate that the connection has been  
established. Green off/red off indicates that Call Screening is not primed.

Feature Reference  
Related Features  
Dialable features that will interrupt Call Screening are: Last Number  
Redial (F05), Station Lock (F21), Personal Speed Dial Numbers  
(F80-89), and System Speed Dial Numbers (F600-699).  
Programmed buttons that will interrupt Call Screening are: Do Not Disturb  
(F01), Save Number Redial (F04), Last Number Redial (F05), and  
Station Lock (F21).  
If the voice messaging system extension does not have Automatic  
Extension Privacy (#304) turned on, other users can bridge onto the call.  
If a user bridges onto the call, a forward disconnect signal is sent to the  
voice messaging system and it disconnects from the call. This causes the  
screening station to be dropped from the call, and the person who bridged  
onto the call is now talking to the calling party.  
Considerations  
Call Screening must be programmed on a button with lights. For security  
purposes, this is only permitted using Centralized Extension Programming.  
This feature is not available at tip and ring, proprietary cordless, or wireless  
telephones.  
This feature can be primed only by pressing the programmed button. It  
cannot be accessed by dialing the Call Screening feature access code.  
An incoming call can be screened at that station only if the station is the  
Line Coverage Extension for that line, the call has been transferred to that  
station, or the call is an intercom call to the station.  
If the user is currently on a line or intercom call, Call Screening will be ignored.  
After a call has been sent to the voice mail system, the Call Screening  
feature cannot be used to screen that call. This feature must be primed  
before or while the call is ringing at the telephone.  
Users cannot create a conference call while screening a call.  
While a call is being screened, dial pad button pushes are ignored.  
A user cannot enter program mode while screening a call.  
Programming  
1. Press f 0 0 s s c at  
extension 10 or 11.  
2. Enter the number of the extension to be programmed with the feature.

Call Waiting (#316)  
Call Waiting (#316)  
Description  
This feature applies only to standard phones.  
This System Programming procedure specifies standard phone extensions that  
are eligible for Call Waiting. Users who receive a call waiting tone hear two beeps  
when they are on a call to indicate a second incoming intercom, transferred, or  
outside call. The user can press the switchhook (or Recall or Flash button, if  
available) to put the current call on hold and retrieve the second call. To return to  
the first call, the user simply presses the switchhook again.  
Related Features  
For instructions for using Call Waiting, see Answering Calls.  
Call Waiting does not apply to parked calls. See Call Park.  
Considerations  
This feature is distinct from the local telephone company’s Call Waiting  
feature. If you use this system feature, do not use your local telephone  
company’s Call Waiting feature.  
The Call Waiting tone (two beeps) is not repeated.  
Use Call Waiting only for standard phone extensions. Do not assign Call  
Waiting to extensions that have fax machines, credit card scanners,  
modems, or auto attendants because the call-waiting tone will interrupt the

Caller ID  
Caller ID  
Description  
Caller ID is available on system display phones on all lines for which you  
subscribe to Caller ID service. Caller ID information is the caller’s telephone  
number (or name, if available). When active on a call, a user automatically  
receives Caller ID information for the duration of the call. When an extension is  
idle, a user receives Caller ID information for the call the user will be connected to  
when the handset is lifted. This feature requires no special programming;  
however, you must subscribe to Caller ID service (if it is available) on a per-line  
basis from your local telephone company and connect Caller ID lines to the  
appropriate system modules.  
Related Features  
Any users who have access to Caller ID line(s) will receive Caller ID  
information on their system display phones. You can restrict users from  
viewing Caller ID information using the following procedures:  
— For ringing calls, you can block Caller ID from displaying at specific  
extensions by restricting access to the Caller ID lines. Use Line  
Access Restriction (#302) to restrict access to lines, Pooled  
Access Restriction (#315) to restrict access to all lines within a  
specific pool, or both procedures for pooled extensions that have  
pools and lines.  
— For active calls, you can activate Privacy at your extension to  
prevent other users from joining your calls and from accessing the  
Caller ID information displayed at your extension.  
— For held calls, use Exclusive Hold rather than Hold to prevent other  
users from picking up your held call and from accessing the Caller  
ID information associated with the held call.  
There are two ways to inspect Caller ID lines:  
If you are active on a call, you automatically get Caller ID information  
for that call. However, If you want to view Caller ID information for a  
second call without ending the active call or putting it on hold, use  
Caller ID Inspect.  
If you are not active on a call, you can press line buttons to view  
Caller ID information for those lines; however, keep in mind that if  
you pick up the handset you will join or answer the call shown on the  
display.  
In some regions, users will have the option to subscribe to the name  
service for Caller ID. This service allows the user to have a name and/or  
number associated with Caller ID information. If you want access to the

Feature Reference  
name, you can program Caller ID Name Display onto a button with lights.  
This allows users to toggle between the Name and Number for an incoming  
call.  
Caller ID information does not display for extensions active on Conference  
Calls.  
If users receive a call routed to their extension by Direct Extension Dial, a  
voice messaging system, or automated attendant, the Caller ID information  
is passed to their extension when they answer the call.  
If users Transfer a call, the Caller ID information is passed to the  
destination extension.  
If users send calls for Call Coverage, the Caller ID information is not  
passed to the covering extension. “Coverage Call for XX” appears instead  
so the user at the covering extension can identify the person for whom the  
call was originally intended.  
A user at a covering extension who has a system display phone and who is  
busy on a call can use Caller ID Inspect to view the number of the  
extension from which a Call Coverage call is being sent. If users are not  
active on a call and multiple coverage calls are ringing, they can press line,  
pool, and intercom buttons to view the number of the extension from which  
each coverage call is being sent; however, if they pick up the handset they  
will join or answer the call indicated on the display.  
Caller ID information is displayed if you Join a call; however, you cannot  
join a call at any extension that has Privacy activated.  
Caller ID information is displayed if users pick up calls with Direct Line  
Pickup—Active Line, Call Pickup, or Group Pickup, but the restrictions  
stated previously apply.  
For incoming calls, Caller ID information displays only when a call is  
audibly alerting at an extension. This means that extensions with Do Not  
Disturb activated or extensions that have lines with Line Ringing set to No  
Ring do not receive Caller ID information. However, Caller ID information is  
displayed once the call is answered or if the line is preselected.  
Caller ID Type (#122) can be set to either USA or Singapore. For proper  
operation in the United States, leave the default setting, USA.  
Users can view Caller ID information for unanswered central office calls on  
predesignated lines and unanswered directed calls using the Caller ID Call  
Logging and Dialing (F23) feature. Users can also program this feature to  
log answered calls using the Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317)  
programming procedure.  
Caller ID Log Answered Calls can be used while using Call Screening  
(F24).  
Considerations  
Subscriptions to Caller ID service are on a per-line basis.

Caller ID  
The lines associated with Caller ID must be connected to a line jack on a  
PARTNER ACS processor module, 206EC module, 308EC module, or  
400EC module. For more information, refer to the PARTNER Advanced  
Communications System Installation guide.  
Caller ID information is passed to an extension between the first and  
second ring. To receive Caller ID information, wait until the second ring  
before answering the call.  
Individuals with Call Waiting from the local telephone company will not  
receive Caller ID information for the second call.  
Not all calls on Caller ID lines are displayed. This varies by local phone  
company. When Caller ID information is not captured, the system date and  
day (default) displays instead.  
The incoming telephone number replaces the system date and time display  
on system phones for the duration of the call. An out-of-area message (- - -  
- - - - - - - - -) displays if a call is being dialed from a region that does not  
support Caller ID. A privacy message (Priv.) displays if the caller has  
blocked transmission of Caller ID information.  
If you use SMDR, telephone numbers of incoming calls print on call reports  
after the call is completed. (Private and out-of-area numbers are reported  
as “IN” on call reports.)

Feature Reference  
Caller ID Inspect (F17)  
Description  
This feature allows a user who is active on a call to view Caller ID information for a  
second call, without disconnecting the current call or putting it on hold. Users can  
inspect ringing, active, or held calls.  
Related Features  
If you program a Caller ID Name Display button, you can toggle between  
Caller ID name and Caller ID number while inspecting lines.  
Refer to Caller ID for details on Caller ID information.  
A user at a covering extension who has a system display phone and who is  
busy on a call can use Caller ID Inspect to view the number of the  
extension from which a Call Coverage call is being sent.  
You can use this feature while using Call Screening (F25).  
Considerations  
This feature must be programmed on a button with lights on a system  
display phone.  
The user should make sure the green light next to the Caller ID Inspect  
button is fluttering before pressing a line or pool button or else the call the  
user is active on is disconnected, and the user is connected to the call on

Caller ID Log Answered Calls  
(#317)—Release 2.0 or Later  
Description  
This feature is available on 24-character PARTNER 18D and 34D display  
phones. It is not available for the MLS, MLC, MDW or Tip/Ring phones.  
This programming procedure allows a system administrator to program  
extensions to log answered Caller ID calls so that calls answered at an individual  
extension can be viewed in the Caller ID Call Log. Once the feature is activated for  
an extension, when a user activates the Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing  
(F23) all caller ID calls that are answered by that extension will be logged. A  
telephone symbol (a vertical handset) appears in the Call Status Display to  
indicate that the call being viewed has been answered.  
The Caller ID Log Answered Call feature is useful when users may have no other  
way of tracking callers’ phone numbers. For example, a sales representative who  
takes phone orders could find a number in the log for a caller whose credit card  
information was later determined to be invalid.  
Related Features  
If you also want to log unanswered Caller ID calls, use the Caller ID Call  
Log Line Association (#318) programming procedure to program lines  
and extensions to log unanswered calls. You can select to log answered  
Caller ID calls only, unanswered Caller ID calls only, or you can choose to  
log both.  
You can also program a maximum of one extension to log all answered  
Caller ID calls and all unanswered Caller ID calls received at any extension  
on specific lines. Use the Caller ID Call Log Line Association (#318)  
programming procedure to associate lines with the extension that will log  
all calls, then use the Caller ID Log All Calls (#319) feature to allow the  
extension to log all Caller ID calls on the associated lines.  
Transfer Return calls that are answered at the return extension are not  
logged even if Caller ID Log Answered Calls is set to active.  
Considerations  
To log Caller ID information, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service (if it  
is available) on a per-line basis from your local telephone company and  
connect Caller ID lines to the appropriate system modules.  
You cannot use Caller ID Logging and Dialing (F23) if Station Lock  
(F21) or Caller ID Inspect (F17) is active.

Description  
This feature is available on 24-character PARTNER 18D and 34D display  
phones. It is not available for the MLS, MLC, MDW or Tip/Ring phones.  
This programming procedure allows you to associate lines with extensions for the  
purposes of logging unanswered Caller ID calls. Multiple lines can be associated  
with an extension and multiple extensions can be associated with the same line.  
Caller ID calls can be logged only if they ring on an extension that is associated

Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing  
(F23)—Release 2.0 or Later  
Description  
This feature is available on 24-character PARTNER 18D and 34D display  
phones. It is not available for the MLS, MLC, MDW or Tip/Ring phones.  
Once the system administrator assigns the Caller ID Call Log Line Association  
(#318), Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317), and/or the Caller ID Log All Calls  
(#319) features to log Caller ID calls, you use Caller ID Logging and Dialing  
(F23) to view the log. Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing is available on system  
display phones on all phones for which you subscribe to a Caller ID service. This  
feature gives users the ability to view Caller ID information for unanswered Central  
Office calls and unanswered Central Office calls transferred to an extension.  
Up to 400 call records can be stored for the system. Each line that is associated  
with an extension to log Caller ID calls is guaranteed a minimum of 20 call  
records.  
In addition, users can automatically dial the number stored in the log.  
The call records stored in each user’s call log and available for viewing depends  
on the following:  
Unanswered transferred calls are logged automatically, whether or not the  
line and extension are associated with the Call Logging features.  
If Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317) is used alone, all Caller ID calls  
that are answered by that extension are logged.  
If Caller ID Log Line Association (#318) is used alone, all unanswered  
Caller ID calls that ring on a line associated with the extension are logged.  
If both Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317) and Caller ID Log Line  
Association (#318) are used, all Caller ID calls that are answered by that  
extension and all unanswered Caller ID calls that ring on a line associated  
with the extension are logged.  
If both Caller ID Log Line Association (#318) and Caller ID Log All Calls  
(#319) are used, all answered Caller ID calls and all unanswered Caller ID  
calls received at any extension on specific lines are logged. This  
combination can be assigned to a maximum of one extension per system.  
The Caller ID information is shown on three screens:  
The first screen shows the caller’s number (or the reason that the number  
is not available).  
The second screen shows the caller’s name (or the reason that the name is  
not available).  
5-72

Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing (F23)—Release 2.0  
or Later  
The third screen shows the date and time of the call.  
In addition, the system logs the line the call came in on; whether the log entry was  
viewed; whether the call was answered or not answered; and whether an attempt  
was made to return the call using the Dialing option.  
Related Features  
To log Caller ID information, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service (if it  
is available) on a per-line basis from your local telephone company and  
connect Caller ID lines to the appropriate system modules.  
To enable a user to log calls and view the Call Log, use the Caller ID Call  
Line Association (#318) programming procedure to associate the line and  
extension for the purposes of logging unanswered calls.  
Use the Caller ID Log Answered Calls (#317) programming procedure if  
you also want to log answered calls at the extension.  
All unanswered Caller ID calls that are transferred to another extension are  
logged at that extension.  
Caller ID calls transferred to a group are logged at every extension that  
alerts in the group if no one in the group answers the call. However, if a  
user answers the call at any extension in the group, it is not logged as  
unanswered at any extension.  
If a Caller ID call is answered by the Direct Extension Dial feature and the  
caller hangs up without dialing an extension, the call is not logged at any  
extension. However, if a caller dials an extension that is associated with the  
Caller ID Logging feature, the call is logged as unanswered if it is not  
answered at the extension.  
To prevent unauthorized persons from viewing the log, Caller ID calls  
cannot be viewed at a locked station.  
The date and time of an incoming call is logged from the Central Office.  
Therefore, the date and time of the call that a user sees on the system  
display phone may be different from the date and time reported in the  
SMDR report for the extension.  
You can use this feature while using Call Screening (F25).  
Considerations  
Any users who have system display phones and have lines with Caller ID  
can view and dial the numbers of logged Caller ID calls.  
You cannot use Caller ID Logging and Dialing (F23) if Station Lock  
(F21) or Caller ID Inspect (F17) is active.  
To view the Caller ID Call Log, a Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing button  
must be programmed on a button with lights on a system display phone.  
(This feature will not work if it is programmed on a button without lights.)

Feature Reference  
Examples  
The examples below show how unanswered Caller ID information is logged:  
Line 6 is associated with extensions 11 and 12 for Call Logging. If a Central  
Office call rings and is not answered on line 6, it is logged as “unanswered”  
on extensions 11 and 12. If it is answered, it is logged only if the answering  
extension has been programmed to log answered calls or to log all calls.  
Line 5 is associated with extension 11 for call logging. A user at extension  
11 answers a call, transfers it to extension 12, and the caller hangs up  
before it is answered. The call is logged as unanswered at extension 12.  
When a call is answered, it is not logged unless the system has been  
programmed to log answered calls using the Caller ID Log Answered  
Calls (#317) programming procedure or an extension is programmed to  
answer all calls using the Caller ID Log Line Assignment (#318) and  
Caller ID Log All Calls (#319) features.

Caller ID Log All Calls (#319)—Release 2.0 or Later  
Caller ID Log All Calls  
(#319)—Release 2.0 or Later  
Description  
This feature is available on 24-character PARTNER 18D and 34D display  
phones. It is not available for the MLS, MLC, MDW or Tip/Ring phones.  
This programming procedure allows the system administrator to program a  
maximum of one extension to log all answered Caller ID calls and all unanswered  
Caller ID calls received at any extension on specific lines. The system  
administrator must use the Caller ID Call Log Line Association (#318)  
programming procedure to associate lines with the extension that will log all calls,  
then use the Caller ID Log All Calls (#319) feature to allow the extension to log  
all Caller ID calls on the associated lines. Once the features are activated for an  
extension, when the user activates the Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing (F23),  
all caller ID calls that are answered or answered by any extension on the  
associated lines are logged. A telephone symbol (a vertical handset) appears in  
the Call Status Display to indicate that the call being viewed has been answered.  
The Caller ID Log All Calls feature is useful when a centralized user needs  
information for all calls received in the system. For example, a supervisor could  
use the log for quality assurance by contacting callers and inquiring about the  
customer’s satisfaction with the results of the call.  
Related Features  
You must use the Caller ID Call Log Line Association (#318)  
programming procedure to associate lines with the extension that will log  
all calls, then use the Caller ID Log All Calls (#319) feature to allow the  
extension to log all Caller ID calls on the associated lines.  
Transfer Return calls that are answered at the return extension are not  
logged even if Caller ID Log All Calls is set to active.  
Considerations  
A maximum of one extension can use the Caller ID Log All Calls feature.  
To log Caller ID information, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service (if it  
is available) on a per-line basis from your local telephone company and  
connect Caller ID lines to the appropriate system modules.  
You cannot use Caller ID Logging and Dialing (F23) if Station Lock  
(F21) or Caller ID Inspect (F17) is active.  
To view the Caller ID Call Log, a Caller ID Call Logging and Dialing  
button must be programmed on a button with lights on a system display  
phone. (This feature will not work if it is programmed on a button without  
lights.)

Caller ID Type (#122)  
Caller ID Type (#122)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure can be set for Singapore or USA operation.  
USA Operation  
Caller ID normally displays the number from which the incoming call is coming,  
replacing the system date and time display on system phones for the duration of  
the call. An out-of-area message (- - - - - - - - - - - -) displays if a call is being dialed  
from a region that does not support Caller ID. A privacy message (Priv.) displays if  
the caller has blocked transmission of Caller ID information.  
Singapore Operation  
Caller ID normally displays the number from which the incoming call is coming.  
When there is no incoming number, the system detects a “P” or an “O” in the  
“reason for DN (Directory Number) absence” field, and substitutes the information  
sent by the local telephone company Central Office in the Name parameter field:  
If the name is supplied, the system displays it.  
If the name is not supplied, either Priv. or - - - - - - - - - - - - is displayed.  
Related Features  
The Caller ID Name Display feature affects whether the caller’s name is  
displayed (if available) instead of the caller’s number.  
Caller ID Inspect enables you to view Caller ID information for a second  
line while remaining active on the first call.  
Refer to Caller ID for details on Caller ID information.  
Considerations  
The Caller ID Type you set applies to the entire system.  
A change to the Caller ID Type setting takes effect when the next Caller ID  
call comes into the system.

Calling Group Extensions (#502)  
Calling Group Extensions (#502)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure identifies the extensions in a Calling  
Group—a group of extensions that can be called at the same time. Any user in the  
system can ring or page all extensions in a Calling Group at the same time or  
transfer a call to a Calling Group; the first extension to pick up the call is  
connected to the caller. This feature is useful for conversing with any individual in  
a specific group such as a sales pool or for paging all individuals in the group. The  
system can have up to four Calling Groups.  
Related Features  
For instructions on making a ringing call or paging call to a Calling Group,  
Users can make simultaneous announcements over the loudspeaker  
paging system and the system phones assigned to Calling Group 1. See  
Considerations  
Extensions can be in more than one Calling Group. In addition, you can  
assign all extensions in the system to one group—this is especially useful  
for making paging announcements to all employees.  
Do not assign extensions that connect auxiliary equipment (auto  
attendants, voice messaging systems, fax machines, answering machines,  
hotline phones, or doorphones) or extensions assigned as External Hotline  
phones to a Calling Group.

Conference Calls  
Conference Calls  
Description  
This section explains how to set up conference calls using the C button on a  
system phone or the switchhook on a standard phone. A conference call connects  
up to five parties (including the conference originator) in a single call. Users can  
connect both outside and inside parties in a conference call, but the call cannot  
include more than two outside parties.  
Related Features  
You can use Outside Conference Denial (#109) to disallow conference  
calls with multiple outside parties.  
During the conference call, any inside party can exit the call at any time  
simply by hanging up. However, if an outside party hangs up during a  
conference call, the callers that remain in the conference may hear a dial  
tone. Use Conference Drop to remove the last-added outside party from a  
conference call.  
Caller ID information does not display for extensions that are active on a  
conference call.  
Considerations  
Users can use System Speed Dial, Personal Speed Dial, or Auto Dial  
numbers to add parties to the conference.  
Do not add a busy or ringing outside call to a conference; if you do, all  
callers hear the busy or ringing signal. If you hear a busy signal or the party  
does not answer, reconnect with the held party by pressing the line button.  
Users cannot join a conference call; the originator must add each party to  
the conference.  
If the conference originator puts the call on hold, other parties can continue  
to talk. Other inside parties can put their extensions on hold if there are  
outside parties on the conference call.  
When the originator hangs up, the conference is disconnected.  
Conference calls cannot be transferred.  
If you are using the system behind a PBX or Centrex system, the PBX or  
Centrex system may include a conference calling feature that lets you  
connect multiple callers on a single PBX or Centrex line. The number of  
callers you can connect depends on your PBX or Centrex system. For  
more information about such features, see the documentation for your PBX  
or Centrex system. (When your Centrex or PBX documentation tells you to  
use a switchhook flash, use the Recall feature instead.)

Feature Reference  
Outside parties may be harder to hear on a conference call than on a  
two-party call, depending on the number of parties and the outside lines  
connected to the system.  
This feature cannot be used with Call Screening (F25).  
With standard phones, you can only do three-way conferencing.  
Using  
System Phone  
1. Set up the call to the first party. (You can call the party, pick up the call from  
hold, or answer an incoming call.)  
You are connected with the first party.  
2. Press C.  
The first party is now on hold.  
3. Set up the call to the second party.  
You are connected with the second party. If you are adding an inside party  
to a call, you must wait until the party answers. If you are active on a call  
using a pool button and you want to set up a conference call using one of  
the other lines in that pool, you can press i and dial the pool’s  
access code to gain access to another line in that pool.  
4. Press C again to add the second party to the call.  
You can now speak with the first and second parties.  
5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to add more parties.  
Standard Phone  
1. Set up the call to the first party. (You can call the party, pick up the call from  
hold, or answer an incoming call.)  
You are connected with the first party.  
2. Press the switchhook down once rapidly.  
The first party is now on hold. You hear intercom dial tone.  
3. To add an outside party, dial 9 or a pool access code plus the outside  
number. If the number is busy or does not answer, hang up and the first  
party rings back.  
To add an inside party, dial the two-digit extension number. If the extension  
is busy or does not answer, press the switchhook down once rapidly and  
you are reconnected with the first party.  
4. When the second party answers, press the switchhook down once rapidly.  
You are now connected with both parties.

Contact Closure (F41 and F42)  
Description  
The system can drive an optional Contact Closure Adjunct with two Contact  
Closures to operate auxiliary devices such as electronic door locks. You can  
assign one or more extensions to a Contact Closure Group for each of these  
Contact Closures. Only these extensions can control the activation of the Contact  
Closures by using f 4 1 for Contact Closure 1 and f 4 2 for  
Contact Closure 2, or by programming these dial codes onto buttons on their  
phones. See "Specifications" in Chapter A for information about electrical  
requirements for the Contact Closure Adjunct.  
Related Features  
Before a user can activate a Contact Closure, you must assign the user’s  
extension to the Contact Closure Group (#612) for that Contact Closure.  
Use Contact Closure Operation Type (#613) to specify how long the  
Contact Closure remains active when activated.  
If the Contact Closure Operation Type is set to Toggle, one user can  
activate the Contact Closure and another user can deactivate it, provided  
both users are included in the Contact Closure Group for that Contact  
Closure.  
When the Contact Closure Operation Type is set to Toggle, if a user  
activates the Contact Closure (so that the toggle is On) and then a power  
failure occurs, the toggle automatically changes to Off as a security  
measure.  
If you plan to use a Contact Closure to control a door lock, you may also  
want to install a doorphone at that door. Use Doorphone Extension (#604  
or #605) to identify the extension to which the doorphone is connected,  
and Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606) to identify the extensions that  
signal when the doorphone button is pressed. You can assign some or all  
of the Doorphone Alert extensions to a Contact Closure Group (#612), so  
that users at those extensions can control the door lock.  
You can use this feature while using Call Screening (F25).  
Considerations  
It is recommended that users program f 4 1 and/or f 4 2 on  
buttons with lights so that they can monitor the status of the Contact Closures.  
The button’s green light will light when the Contact Closure is activated by that  
user, and the red light will light when the Contact Closure is activated by another  
user in that Contact Closure Group. The light will go out when the Contact Closure  
is deactivated.

Dial Mode (#201)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure identifies individual lines as touch-tone or  
rotary. You should check with your local phone company if you are not sure which  
type of line is being provided to you.  
Related Features  
If you are having difficulty using touch-tone phones on rotary lines, you may  
need to adjust the Rotary Dialing Timeout (#108).  
If the system has rotary lines, you can use Touch-Tone Enable to send  
touch-tone signals over a rotary line (for example, to access  
bank-by-phone services).  
If Dial Mode (#201) is set to Rotary, star codes are entered by dialing 11  
instead of *. If you have users at extensions with Outgoing Call  
Restriction (#401) set to Local Only who are calling out on lines with the  
Dial Mode (#201) set to Rotary, you should add “11” to an Allowed Phone  
Numbers List (#407) and assign the list to these extensions. Otherwise,  
when the users at the restricted extensions dial 1 to begin a star code, the  
system interprets this as an attempt to place a long-distance call, the call is  
blocked, and the user hears the reorder tone.

Direct Extension Dial Button  
(#113)—Release 2.0 or Later  
Description  
This feature is available only on the system phone at extension 10.  
This System Programming procedure identifies a button to be used to turn Direct  
Extension Dial (DXD) on and off. This feature permits an outside caller to dial an  
extension or Hunt Group directly, without the aid of the receptionist. With Release  
3.0 or later, DXD calls also can be transferred directly into a Calling Group. It is  
ideal for outside callers who frequently talk with specific employees or service  
groups, and know the extension number they are trying to reach. When an outside  
call rings on a line programmed with Direct Extension Dial, the system picks it up  
after a specified number of rings and plays a short message prompting the caller  
to dial the digits of the designated extension, Hunt Group, or Calling Group.  
Related Features  
Do not use this feature in places where Hold Disconnect Time (#203) is  
not recognized, because if a caller hangs up after Direct Extension Dial  
answers, the line will appear to be busy.  
The Direct Extension Dial button returns to the status (on/off) it was in  
before a power failure occurred or System Reset (#728) was used.  
Direct Extension Dial affects incoming calls only on lines identified using  
Direct Extension Dial Lines (#205).  
Calls that ring on Direct Extension Dial lines are picked up after two rings,  
as a default. To change the number of rings, use Direct Extension Dial  
Delay (#112).  
You must use Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback to record a  
message to prompt callers to dial an extension, Hunt Group, or Calling  
Group number after the system answers an outside call.  
If Direct Extension Dial is on, callers hear ringing when the call is  
transferred regardless of the Music-on-Hold (#602) or Ring on Transfer  
(#119) setting.  
By default, unanswered calls return to extension 10. You can use Transfer  
Return Extension (#306) to specify a different Transfer Return Extension  
for extension 10. In this case, all unanswered Direct Extension Dial calls  
return to the specified extension as do unanswered calls manually  
transferred by extension 10.  
If Do Not Disturb (F01) is active at a directly dialed extension, the call  
returns to extension 10 (or its transfer return extension), unless Call  
Forwarding (F11), Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320), or VMS Cover  
Rings (#117) or (#321) is used.

Feature Reference  
You can set SMDR Talk Time (#611) to Active to include the Talk field on  
call reports. For an incoming outside call answered by Direct Extension  
Dial, this field shows the call duration minus the time the greeting played  
and the caller waited for someone to answer the call.  
Automatic System Answer (#121) is an alternative system answering  
feature that aids the receptionist during busy periods.  
Considerations  
The Automatic System/Direct Extension Dial PC card is purchased  
separately and must be installed (see PARTNER PC Card Installation  
Instructions).  
Use the Direct Extension Dial Record/Playback to record a message  
before using Direct Extension Dial since there is no default message.  
It is recommended that you use only one automated answering option for  
incoming calls (either this feature, the Automated Attendant Service of the  
voice messaging system, or a PARTNER Attendant).  
This feature can handle three outside calls simultaneously.  
If you have lines programmed for Direct Extension Dial and Automatic  
System Answer, Direct Extension Dial answers the call first.  
A Direct Extension Dial button must be programmed on a button with lights  
on the system display phone at extension 10. (This feature will not work if it  
is programmed on a button without lights.)

call reports. For an incoming outside call answered by Direct Extension  
Dial, this field shows the call duration minus the time the greeting played  
and the caller waited for someone to answer the call.  
If you use Caller ID, make sure Direct Extension Dial Delay is set to 2 rings  
or more to ensure that Caller ID information is captured.

an outside call rings at the extension—immediately, after a 20 second  
delay, or not at all. Direct Extension Dial Delay specifies the number of  
rings a caller hears before the system answers the call.

Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure specifies telephone numbers that users  
cannot dial. For example, you may want to prevent calls to a specific telephone  
number or to categories of numbers, such as international numbers. Use this  
procedure to create up to eight lists of up to 10 telephone numbers each.  
Related Features  
After completing this procedure, you must use Disallowed List  
Assignments (#405) to assign the Disallowed Phone Number Lists to  
specific extensions.  
Allowed Phone Numbers, Emergency Phone Numbers, and Marked  
System Speed Dial Numbers override the Disallowed List.  
The entries you must make to permit or restrict toll calls differ depending on  
the setting for Toll Call Prefix (#402). This setting tells the system whether  
a “0” (for operator-assisted calls) or “1” (for direct-dial calls) is required  
when you make toll calls.  
If Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, the system checks for allowed and  
disallowed phone numbers again beginning with the first digit after the star  
code.  
Considerations  
Each list entry can include up to 12 digits. You can use the wildcard  
character (by pressing the h button on a system phone) to match any  
single digit (it appears as “!” on the telephone display).  
When a user dials a number that is on a Disallowed List for the user’s  
extension, the user hears a reorder tone (fast busy signal) after dialing the  
part of the number that is stored in the list (for example, an area code).  
If you want to go to another programming procedure when entering phone  
numbers in a list, you must use N or P to do so since  
entering # and a three-digit code will be considered data for the telephone  
number.  
Valid Entries  
Up to 12 digits including 0–9, #, *, and h (any single digit)

ChgBat W/PowerOn or ReplaceSysBat W/Power Onappears  
when PARTNER ACS processor module batteries need to be  
replaced. The message may flicker on and off as the batteries near  
the low-power threshold. These batteries are used to retain system  
programming settings during a power failure. See Chapter 6,  
‘‘Troubleshooting’’, for instructions for replacing the batteries.  
— Backup-Failure Alarm messages appear if an automatic backup is  
unsuccessful. The message is displayed until you clear the alarm (or  
until the next successful automatic backup or system restart). See  
Related Features  
The System Date (#101), System Day (#102), and System Time (#103)  
settings are shown as the default display.  
You can use Display Language (#303) to identify the language in which  
messages appear, if the extension has a system display phone.  
Users can assign a name to their extension. Then, when that extension is  
used to make an intercom call, group call, or transferred call, the name and  
extension number appear on the system display phone receiving the call.  
Similarly, users receiving a transfer return call see the name and extension  
number of the person assigned to the extension that did not answer the  
transferred call. See Extension Name Display for more information.  
Considerations  
The call timer records the time a user is active on a call. It begins when the  
handset is lifted out of the cradle and ends when either the handset is  
placed back in the cradle or the call is placed on hold. (This is not the call  
duration reported to SMDR. SMDR records the total time the call is in  
progress— including the time a call is placed on hold. For more  
information, refer to ‘‘Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)’’ on page 4-9.) When a  
call is transferred, the timer restarts when the call is answered.  
The call timer is displayed along with the default display.  
Most messages (other than the default display and Caller ID) display for  
approximately 15 seconds.  
Marked System Speed Dial Numbers do not display when they are  
dialed.  
The display contrast can be adjusted by pressing * then using the “up”  
volume control button to increase the brightness or the “down” volume  
control button to decrease the brightness. Adjust the contrast while the  
phone is idle and the handset is in the cradle.  
The angle of the display is adjustable to three positions: low, medium, and  
high.

Distinctive Ring (#308)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure determines whether calls should ring at a  
standard device using the system’s distinctive ringing patterns—different patterns  
for outside, intercom, and transferred calls—or whether all calls to the standard  
device should ring like outside calls.  
Considerations  
Change the setting to Not Active if a standard device such as a modem or  
answering machine does not pick up intercom or transferred calls.  
If distinctive ring is set to Not Active for an extension where both a system  
phone and a standard device are installed, the system phone continues to  
use the system’s distinctive ringing patterns, but all calls ring at the  
standard device using a single ring burst.  
The system does not pass distinctive ringing patterns generated by a PBX  
or central office through to extensions (regardless of the setting for this  
feature).  
Valid Entries  
1 = Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls ring differently, using the  
system’s distinctive ringing patterns) ✔  
2 = Not Active (outside, intercom, and transferred calls all ring using a single ring  
burst)

Do Not Disturb (F01)  
Do Not Disturb (F01)  
Description  
This feature is available only on system phones.  
This feature lets a system phone user press a programmed button to prevent  
incoming calls for the extension from audibly alerting (lights still flash). When Do  
Not Disturb is on, outside callers hear ringing while inside callers hear a busy  
signal. This feature is recommended only if someone answers outside calls for  
your extension when you do not answer them.  
Related Features  
Caller ID information for incoming calls displays only when a call is audibly  
alerting at an extension. This means that extensions with Do Not Disturb  
activated do not receive Caller ID information, unless the call is answered.  
Users with Automatic VMS Cover (#310) Assigned or with VMS Cover  
turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to Send All Calls immediately to  
their voice mailbox.  
Users with Call Coverage turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to Send All  
Calls immediately to the covering extension.  
You cannot use Call Screening (F25) with this feature turned on.  
Considerations  
This feature requires a button with lights. When the Do Not Disturb feature  
is on, the light is also on, indicating that the phone will not ring.  
Use this feature when you do not want the auto attendant or the voice  
messaging system to transfer calls to you.  
Use this feature if you are assigned to a Hunt Group and you leave your  
desk, so calls to the Hunt Group will skip your extension and ring  
immediately at the next available extension in the group.  
To avoid missing calls when this feature is not needed, turn it off.  
If Do Not Disturb is active at a doorphone alert extension, the person at the  
doorphone hears signaling, but the alert extension is not signaled.  
Unanswered calls that are transferred from an extension with Do Not  
Disturb active will ring at that extension if they transfer return.

Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606)  
Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure identifies extensions that are signaled when  
a doorphone button is pressed. When a person uses the doorphone, it signals all  
alert extensions at the same time. If the alert extension is a system phone, the call  
signals with a unique ding-dong sound to distinguish it from other calls.  
Additionally, if you have two doorphones, they signal with different tones so you  
can distinguish between them.  
Related Features  
You must use Doorphone Extensions (#604 and #605) to identify the  
extensions to which doorphones are connected.  
If Do Not Disturb is active at a doorphone alert extension, the person at  
the doorphone hears signaling, but the alert extension is not signaled.  
If a Contact Closure on the Contact Closure Adjunct controls a door lock,  
consider assigning the Doorphone Alert Extensions to the Contact  
Closure Group (#612) for that Contact Closure. Only extensions assigned  
to that Contact Closure Group can activate the door lock.  
Considerations  
You cannot bridge two doorphones together.

Doorphone Extension (#604 and #605)  
Description  
Each of these System Programming procedures identifies an extension to which a  
doorphone is connected. A doorphone is usually placed near an entrance, to  
screen visitors. You can connect up to two doorphones to the system—use  
Doorphone 1 Extension (#604) to identify the extension to which the first  
doorphone is connected and Doorphone 2 Extension (#605) to identify the  
extension to which the second doorphone is connected.  
Related Features  
You must use Doorphone Alert Extensions (#606) to identify the  
extensions that are signaled when the doorphone button is pressed. Each  
doorphone can signal any number of alert extensions.  
To prevent outside calls from being made or received on the doorphone,  
use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines and/or Pool  
Extension Assignment (#314) to remove all pools from the doorphone  
extension. (Automatic Line Selection for the doorphone extension will be  
automatically set to select intercom lines first.)  
You can use Message Light On with the doorphone (for example, the  
doorphone’s light flashes as a prearranged signal to a delivery person)  
provided the doorphone is connected to a PARTNER ACS processor  
module or to an R3.0 206 or later module in a system that is equipped with  
a PARTNER ACS processor module.  
You can wire a Contact Closure on the Contact Closure Adjunct to activate  
an electronic lock on the door with the doorphone. Then use Contact  
Closure Group (#612) to assign extensions to control the door lock. Use  
Contact Closure Operation Type (#613) to specify how long the Contact  
Closure remains active when it is activated. Users in the Contact Closure  
Group can use the Contact Closure dial code to activate the Contact  
Closure, or they can program the dial code on a button on their phones.  
Considerations  
An extension cannot be used for a doorphone and a hotline at the same  
time. However, hotlines and doorphones can have the same alert  
extensions.  
You should not assign doorphones to extension 10, 11, or to the first two  
extensions of any 206 or 308EC modules.  
Remove voice messaging system mailboxes from doorphone extensions.

Emergency Phone Number List (#406)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure creates a list of up to 10 telephone numbers  
that all users can dial regardless of dialing restrictions provided they have access  
to an outside line. Typical list entries include fire, police, and emergency services  
numbers.  
Related Features  
With Release 2.0 and earlier, if an extension is programmed for Forced  
Account Code Entry (#307), a user at the extension is required to enter  
an account code before dialing a number in the Emergency Phone Number  
List.  
With Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can dial  
numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List without entering an  
account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code  
extensions without entering the account code as long as 911 has been  
entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.  
The entries you must make to permit or restrict toll calls differ depending on  
the setting for Toll Call Prefix (#402). This setting tells the system whether  
a “0” (for operator-assisted calls) or “1” (for direct-dial calls) is required  
when you make toll calls.  
Considerations  
Each telephone number can include up to 12 digits.  
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to  
emergency numbers, you should: 1) remain on the line and briefly explain  
to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up, and 2) perform  
such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.  
Valid Entries  
Up to 12 digits (0–9)  
Examples  
The examples below show how to enter telephone numbers for the Emergency  
Phone Number List in Step 3 of “Programming.”

Exclusive Hold (F02)  
Description  
This feature is available only on system phones.  
This feature prevents other extensions from picking up outside calls placed on  
hold at a specific extension with a system phone.  
Related Features  
You can use the Hold button to put calls on regular hold (any extension can pick  
up the held call).  
Considerations  
You can program an Exclusive Hold button on a system phone to use the  
feature with one touch.  
For system phones, if a call is left on hold for longer than one minute, the  
extension at which the call is held generates a short Hold Reminder Tone.  
This tone sounds once every minute until the held call is retrieved, or until  
the caller hangs up.  
If you put a call on a line or a pool on hold and another user picks up that  
call, it will no longer be available to you. To ensure that no one else can  
retrieve your held call on a pooled line, use Exclusive Hold.  
This feature cannot be used with Call Screening (F25).

Extension Name Display  
Description  
Users can assign a name to their extension: up to 20 characters long on  
PARTNER-model phones, up to 12 characters long on MLS-model phones. Then,  
when that extension is used to make an intercom, group, or transferred call, the  
name appears on the system display phone receiving the call. Similarly, users  
receiving a transfer return call see the name of the person assigned to the  
extension that did not answer the transferred call.  
Related Features  
Display Language (#303) has no effect on this feature. This means that the  
extension name displays exactly as it is programmed.  
Considerations  
Any extension, regardless of the phone type on that extension, can be  
programmed with a name through Centralized Telephone Programming. If  
users want to program their own extension name, they must have a system  
display phone at their extension.  
Only extension numbers—not names—are printed on SMDR reports.  
You should program Extension Name Display when you first enter  
Centralized Telephone Programming, before programming any other  
features. If you want to program both Extension Name Display and  
Automatic Line Selection (which also must be programmed when you first  
enter Centralized Telephone Programming), first program Automatic Line  
Selection, then exit and re-enter Centralized Telephone Programming to  
program Extension Name Display.  
Valid Entries  
Up to 20 characters, including letters A–Z, numbers 0–9, and blank spaces. See

External Hotline (#311)  
Description  
This procedure applies only to standard phones.  
This System Programming procedure identifies an external hotline extension.  
When a user lifts the handset of an external hotline, a predetermined outside  
number is dialed automatically. The external number might be, for example, a  
frequently called service bureau. The external hotline must be a standard phone,  
not a system phone.  
After you identify an external hotline extension, you must store the external phone  
number for the hotline extension as Personal Speed Dial code 80. Both  
procedures are included in “Programming” on the next page.  
Related Features  
Use Hotline (#603) to identify an internal hotline extension.  
Use Line Assignment (#301) to assign outside lines to the external hotline  
extension, Pooled Extension Assignment (#314) to assign pools to the  
external hotline extension, and Automatic Line Selection to set the  
extension to select outside lines or pools first.  
If your use of the external hotline requires immediate dialing of the  
programmed number, dedicate a line for use by this extension (do not  
assign the line to any other extension or use the line for any other purpose).  
You can set Line Ringing to No Ring for all lines or pools assigned to the  
external hotline to prevent incoming calls from ringing at the extension.  
Make sure there are no call, or line, or pool restrictions assigned to an  
external hotline because that will prevent the outside number from being  
Do not use Station Lock at an external hotline because it will prevent the  
outside number from being dialed.  
Remove external hotlines from Night Service Group Extensions (#504),  
Calling Group Extensions (#502), and Hunt Group Extensions (#505).  
Do not assign Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to the external hotline.  
Considerations  
Under certain conditions of heavy telephone usage, the external hotline  
may be unable to dial the programmed number immediately (for example, if  
many of the standard devices connected to your system dial out at the  
same time). See “Using” for more information.

This feature allows voice calls and fax calls to be received on the same line, which  
eliminates the need for a dedicated fax line.  
When the start button on a fax machine is pressed, the fax machine sets up to  
send a fax. The sending fax machine sends a special tone called a calling tone or  
CNG tone. This tone is sent while the call is being dialed, connected through the  
network, ringing, until the call is answered. If another fax machine answers, the  
appropriate signals are sent back to the calling fax machine to send the fax  
transmission.  
When an incoming call is answered by PVM, PMVS, PARTNER MAIL or  
ASA/DXD, PARTNER ACS determines if the incoming call is a fax. If the system is  
set up to automatically route incoming fax calls to fax machine(s), ACS will  
automatically transfer the call to a fax hunt group (Hunt Group 8).  
Related Features  
You may want to use Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to prevent other  
extensions with the same line from joining a fax call at the extension and  
interrupting it.  
Considerations  
When lines appear on a fax extension, you will want to make sure that the fax  
machine does not automatically answer outside calls on these lines. There are  
three ways you can do this:  
Set the fax machine for delayed pickup.  
Use Line Ringing to change the ring options on the fax extension to either  
delayed ring or no ring.

Feature Reference  
(Recommended) Use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines  
from the fax extension.  
Other points to consider:  
Incoming fax detection is activated automatically by assigning extensions  
to Hunt Group 8. Hunt Group 8 should not be used as a standard hunt  
group, since incoming calls are automatically transferred to this hunt group.  
If a PARTNER MAIL system is connected to the ACS system and fax  
detection is being done via PARTNER MAIL, no extensions should be  
assigned to Hunt Group 8 on the ACS system.  
If there are no touch tone receivers capable of detecting a CNG tone, the  
call is treated as an incoming voice call.  
It could take up to eight seconds after a call is answered before the system  
determines that the incoming call is a fax call. The ASA/DXD, PVM, PMVS  
or PARTNER MAIL message should be at least this long so that the CNG  
tone can be detected before the message ends and the call can be  
transferred.

Feature Reference  
Forced Account Code Entry (#307)  
Description  
This feature applies only to system phones.  
This System Programming procedure identifies specific extensions at which users  
must enter an account code prior to making outside calls. The account code can  
be used to charge telephone calls to a department or client; the account code  
prints on call reports if you are using SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording)  
or a call accounting package.  
Related Features  
Account Code Entry provides instructions on entering forced account  
codes.  
You can use Forced Account Code List (#409) to create a list of valid  
account codes. If a Forced Account Code List exists, the system checks  
the list whenever a user enters a forced account code. If a forced account  
code is valid, the system provides access to an outside line. If a forced  
account code is invalid, the system denies access to an outside line—to  
dial out, the user must repeat the procedure for entering a forced account  
code.  
For Release 2.0 or earlier, extensions programmed with this feature are  
restricted from dialing outside phone numbers on all lines at the  
extension— including numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List  
(#406) —until an account code is entered. If a Forced Account Code List  
exists, the account code must match an entry on the list for the user to get  
an outside line.  
For ACS Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can dial  
numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) without entering  
an account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code  
extensions without entering the account code as long as 911 has been  
entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.  
Account codes can be entered manually or using System Speed Dial  
Numbers, Personal Speed Dial Numbers, and Auto Dialing (but not  
Marked System Speed Dial Numbers).  
Automatic Line Selection does not apply for an extension programmed  
with this feature; the user must manually select a line or pool after entering  
an account code.  
Do not assign Forced Account Code Entry to an External Hotline (#311)  
extension.  
If a System Password (#403) is required to override dialing restrictions for  
an extension, users must enter it before entering the account code.

Forced Account Code Entry (#307)  
Considerations  
If SMDR is used, the account code assigned to incoming or outgoing calls  
prints on call reports. (See ‘‘Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)’’ on page 4-9 for  
more information about call reporting.) For forced account code entry, if a  
Forced Account Code List exists, only valid account codes are printed on  
the call report.  
Forced account codes are not required to answer incoming calls at the  
extensions programmed with this feature.

Forced Account Code List (#409)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure lets you identify a list of up to 99 account  
code verification entries for extensions that are forced to enter account codes.  
Once a list is created, any user at an extension programmed for Forced Account  
Code Entry must enter a valid account code—one that matches a list entry—  
before being allowed to make an outside call. This feature ensures that only  
authorized users with valid account codes can make outside calls.  
Related Features  
An extension must be programmed for Forced Account Code Entry  
(#307) for the Forced Account Code List to have any effect.  
Account Code Entry provides instructions for entering forced account  
codes.  
Considerations  
For ACS Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can dial  
numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) without entering  
an account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced Account Code  
extensions without entering the account code as long as 911 has been  
entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.  
If you do not create a Forced Account Code List, the system does not verify  
the account codes dialed at extensions that are required to enter them.  
To validate an account code, the system compares the first six digits of a  
user-entered account code to the entries on the Forced Account Code List.  
For a match to be successful, the user must dial at least the account code’s  
associated list entry, even though the user can dial up to 16 digits for an  
account code. If the system identifies a match, the user can dial an outside  
number. If no match occurs, the user is denied access to an outside line  
and must re-enter a valid account code to dial out.  
Each list entry can include up to six digits. You can use the wildcard  
character (by pressing the h button on a system phone) to match any  
single digit (it appears as “!” on the telephone display).  
Valid Entries  
Up to 6 digits including 0–9 and h (any single digit)

Forced Account Code List (#409)  
Examples  
Expanded Account Codes. Users can enter more than the required digits  
for an account code for tracking purposes. For example, a Customer  
Service Department’s account code is 123. Representatives in the  
department must dial at least 123 to get an outside line, but can enter  
additional digits to track a specific customer or item number. For example,  
— The following entries are valid:  
123  
123999  
— The following entries are invalid:  
1
12  
Wildcard Characters. You can use wildcard characters in list entries. For  
example, your company’s Sales Department has a three digit account  
code—the first digit represents the department and the second and third  
digits represent the individuals in the department. You enter 4!! as the list  
entry.  
— The following entries are valid:

Group Call Distribution (#206)  
Group Call Distribution (#206)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure assigns outside lines to Hunt Groups. Doing  
so allows outside calls to ring directly into a Hunt Group instead of being  
answered and transferred by the receptionist. You can assign lines to Hunt  
Groups 1–7. (Hunt Group 7 is used exclusively for the voice messaging system,  
and Hunt Group 8 is used for fax transfer and detection.)  
Related Features  
You must use Hunt Group Extensions (#505) to assign extensions to  
Hunt Groups.  
If you assign lines to Hunt Group 7 for the voice messaging system’s  
Automated Attendant Service, you may want to adjust when the lines  
should ring in the group. See VMS Hunt Delay (#506) and VMS Hunt  
Schedule (#507) for more information.  
If you are using a voice messaging system, you have two Group Call  
Distribution options:  
— If you want Automated Attendant Service for some or all lines,  
Assign (setting 1) those lines to Hunt Group 7.  
— If you want calls to route directly to the voice mailbox of a specific  
user after four rings, choose VMS Line Cover (setting 3) for those  
lines and assign a line owner in the voice messaging system. For  
more information about voice messaging system options, refer to  
the documentation shipped with the voice messaging system.  
As an alternative to the VMS Line Cover setting, you can use Line  
Coverage Extension (#208) with VMS Cover. This provides more  
flexibility because it lets you specify the number of times calls ring (using  
VMS Cover Rings (#117) or (#321)) at the user’s extension before going  
to the user’s mailbox. In addition, if the user’s extension has Do Not  
Disturb on, calls on the line can go immediately to coverage.  
Considerations  
Each outside line can be assigned to only one Hunt Group.  
Assign only fax extensions to Hunt Group 8.  
If a Hunt Group that has outside lines assigned receives an outside call  
and all members of that Hunt Group are busy (or have Do Not Disturb on),  
the caller hears ringing, which continues until the call is answered.

Feature Reference  
Examples  
Here are some useful applications for Group Call Distribution:  
Place the extensions of employees who work in a department in a Hunt  
Group and assign one or more outside lines to the group. Doing so lets  
outside callers ring the group directly without having to be transferred by  
the receptionist. For example, a mail-order company assigns the  
extensions of its sales representatives to a Hunt Group and assigns a line  
to the group. The company then publishes the number as its customer  
service number, so that a caller can reach a sales representative directly to  
place an order.  
If you install a voice messaging system, assign the system extensions  
associated with the voice messaging system hardware to Hunt Group 7.  
Then, use this procedure to assign outside lines to Hunt Group 7 for  
Automated Attendant Service. Callers hear a greeting and are prompted to  
enter digits to transfer to a specific extension or group without the  
assistance of the receptionist.  
Valid Entries  
1 = Assigned (for hunting to groups 1–6, or to group 7 for the voice messaging  
system’s Automated Attendant Service)  
2 = Not Assigned ✔  
3 = VMS Line Cover (available only for Hunt Group 7)  
Programming  
(See Figure 2-3 on page 2-22 for the location of special programming buttons such  
as s and e on system phones.)  
To set up lines for Group Call Distribution:  
1. Press f 0 0 s s # 2 0 6 at extension  
10 or 11.  
2. At the Group:prompt, enter a group number (1–6; 7 for the voice  
messaging system). For example, to select group 1, press 1.  
3. At the Line:prompt, enter the desired line number. For example, to select  
line 1, press 0 1.  
4. To assign or remove a line for groups 1–6, or to assign or remove a line or  
use VMS Line Cover for group 7, press D until the appropriate value  
displays.  
5. At this point:  
To program another line, press n or p until the line  
number shows on the display. Then repeat Step 4.  
To program another group, press N P, enter a  
new group number, and repeat Steps 3 and 4.

Group Calling—Ring/Page (I7G/I*7G)  
Group Calling—Ring/Page (I7G/I*7G)  
Description  
This feature allows users to ring, page, or transfer calls simultaneously to all of the  
extensions in any one of four Calling Groups (G is a Calling Group number from  
1–4). When paging, the caller hears a beep and begins speaking; the caller’s  
voice is heard on the speakers of all idle system phones in the selected Calling  
Group. The first extension to answer the call (by picking up the handset or  
pressing S, or by pressing! to answer a page) is connected to the caller.  
Related Features  
You must use Calling Group Extensions (#502) to assign extensions to a Calling  
Group.  
Extensions assigned to Calling Group 1 can receive Simultaneous Paging.  
Considerations  
Extensions can be in more than one Calling Group.  
Exclude extensions that connect auxiliary equipment (auto attendants,  
voice messaging systems, fax machines, internal and external hotline  
phones, and doorphones) from Calling Groups.  
If some extensions in a Calling Group have standard, MLC-6, or TransTalk  
9000-series phones, those extensions are not signaled for voice-paged  
calls to the group (because they do not have built-in speakers).  
If a Calling Group is in use, a user attempting to page that group hears a  
busy tone.  
If a user leaves the microphone on for hands-free answer on intercom  
(HFAI), the microphone is turned off when that phone receives a group  
page; the user must lift the handset or press! to answer the page.  
Calls can be transferred to a Calling Group manually or using a button  
programmed to ring the Calling Group.  
You can program a Group Calling button on a system phone to ring or page  
a specified Calling Group or to transfer a call to a Calling Group with one  
touch.  
When a call is transferred to a Calling Group and the call is not answered, it  
goes back to the specified Transfer Return Extension (#306). The call  
must be ringing, not a voice page.

Feature Reference  
Examples  
Here are some useful applications for this feature:  
Group page employees for general announcements; this feature is an  
inexpensive alternative to a paging system. (Remember to install system  
phones with built-in speakers—all models except the MLC-6 and TransTalk  
9000-series—where you want employees to hear announcements.)  
Put the extensions of people with similar responsibilities in a Calling Group,  
so when a caller needs to talk with anyone in the group, the receptionist  
can transfer the call to the group instead of making separate intercom calls.  
For example, a car dealership puts all extensions for the sales staff into  
Calling Group 1. To let a prospective customer talk to any salesperson, the  
receptionist simply transfers the call to the group by dialing & 7 1.  
All phones in the group ring, and the customer is connected to the first  
salesperson to answer. (Alternatively, the receptionist can page the group  
through the speakers of their system phones by pressing i * 7  
1.)

Group Hunting—Ring/Voice Signal (I77G/I*77G)  
Group Hunting—Ring/Voice Signal (I77G/I*77G)  
Description  
This feature lets you distribute call volume among extensions in a group, to  
off-load call activity from a single user. When an intercom or transferred call is  
placed to a Hunt Group (where G is a Hunt Group number from 1–8), the system  
rings or voice signals the first available (non-busy) extension in the group, passing  
over busy extensions (or those with Do Not Disturb on) in a circular hunt. If a  
ringing call is not answered within three rings, it moves to the next available  
extension, and so on, until the call is answered or the caller hangs up. For a  
voice-signaled call, only the first available extension is signaled; if that extension  
does not answer, the call does not keep hunting. After an extension receives a  
Hunt Group call, the next call to the Hunt Group will not ring or voice signal that  
extension first unless all other extensions in the group are busy or do not answer.  
The system supports up to eight Hunt Groups; however, Hunt Group 7 is used  
exclusively for the voice messaging system and Hunt Group 8 is used exclusively  
for fax machines. For more information, refer to ‘‘Voice Messaging Systems’’ on  
page 4-28.  
Related Features  
You must use Hunt Group Extensions (#505) to assign extensions to a  
Hunt Group.  
Set Transfer Return Rings (#105) to four or greater, to ensure that calls  
continue hunting to other group extensions if the call is not answered.  
Use Do Not Disturb if you are assigned to a Hunt Group and you leave  
your desk, so that a call to your extension moves directly to the next  
available extension in the group.  
You can use Group Call Distribution (#206) to assign outside lines to a  
Hunt Group. Doing so allows outside calls on those lines to route directly  
into that Hunt Group instead of being transferred by the receptionist.  
Hunt Group calls are not eligible for Call Coverage or VMS Cover.  
When using PARTNER MAIL Release 3 or later, a call to a busy Hunt  
Group can be sent to a Hunt Group mailbox.  
Considerations  
Extensions can be in more than one Hunt Group.  
Outside calls can be answered and transferred to a Hunt Group. The voice  
messaging system and the auto attendant also can transfer calls to a Hunt  
Group.  
Calls cannot be transferred to a Hunt Group if all extensions in that group  
are busy.

Feature Reference  
If only one extension in a Hunt Group is available and that extension does  
not answer an incoming call, the call returns to the extension that  
transferred the call (or to that extension’s transfer return extension) after  
the programmed amount of transfer return rings.  
You can program a Group Hunting button on a system phone to ring or  
voice signal a Hunt Group with one touch.  
If you have a voice messaging system, you can program Hunt Group 7  
(i 7 7 7) on a button to retrieve messages with one touch.  
Examples  
Here are some useful applications for a Hunt Group:  
Place the extensions of employees who work in a department sharing calls,  
such as a customer service group, in a Hunt Group so that when a call  
comes in to the receptionist it can be transferred to the next available  
extension. This alleviates the problem of one employee receiving most of  
the calls.  
Place the extensions of employees who work in a department in a Hunt  
Group and assign one or more outside lines to the group. Doing so lets  
outside callers ring the group directly without having to be transferred by  
the receptionist. For example, a mail-order company assigns the  
extensions of its sales representatives to a Hunt Group and assigns a line  
to the group. The company then publishes the number as its customer  
service number, so that a caller can reach a sales representative directly to  
place an order.  
Programming

Group Pickup (I66G)  
Group Pickup (I66G)  
Description  
This feature allows users at any extension in the system to answer any outside,  
intercom, or transferred call ringing at an extension in a Pickup Group (where G is  
a Pickup Group number from 1–4). In other words, when a call rings at an  
extension that is in a Pickup Group, a user at any extension in the system can  
answer the call, without knowing which extension or line is ringing and without  
being in the same Pickup Group. The system can have up to four Pickup Groups.  
Related Features  
You must use Pickup Group Extensions (#501) to assign extensions to Pickup  
Groups.  
Considerations  
Extensions can be in more than one Pickup Group.  
You can program a Group Pickup button on a system phone to pick up calls  
in a Pickup Group with one touch.  
Examples  
Here are some useful applications for a Pickup Group:  
Put all system extensions in a Pickup Group (except the boss’ private  
extension), so anyone on the system can answer a ringing call (except  
calls to the boss).  
Put the extensions of people who work near each other and who can hear  
each other’s phones ring, but who don’t have each other’s lines on their  
phones, in a Pickup Group.  
For example, a group of typists work in a large room separated by cubicles,  
and all of their extensions are in Pickup Group 1. When a typist leaves the  
room and the typist’s phone rings, anyone else in the system who can hear  
the call ring can pick it up simply by dialing the Pickup Group code for that  
group (i 6 6 1).

Hold  
Hold  
Description  
This section explains how to place and retrieve calls on hold, using either the h  
button on a system phone or the switchhook on a standard phone. (The user can  
make and receive other calls on another line or pool while a call is on hold.)  
Related Features  
System phone users can use Exclusive Hold to put calls on hold that can  
be retrieved only from their own extension. (Placing a call on Exclusive  
Hold also prevents other users from accessing Caller ID information for the  
held call.)  
If you put a call on a line in a pool on hold and another user picks up that  
call, it will no longer be available to you. To ensure that no on else can  
retrieve your held call on a pooled line, use Exclusive Hold.  
Use Call Park to put a call on a special type of hold so it can be picked up  
from any phone in the system. This type of hold typically is used for pooled  
extensions in Hybrid mode, because it allows the user to retrieve a call  
without having to know which line the call is on.  
Callers on hold hear Music-on-Hold (#602) only if it is active and an audio  
source is connected to the processor module.  
Standard phone users can put a call on hold to retrieve a second call  
provided Call Waiting (#316) is programmed for their extensions.  
Considerations  
For system phones, if a call is left on hold for longer than one minute, the  
extension at which the call is held generates a short Hold Reminder Tone.  
This tone sounds once every minute until the held call is retrieved or until  
the caller hangs up.  
Only one party on an intercom call can put the call on hold. If both parties  
try to put the call on hold, the call is disconnected.  
If you are using the system behind a PBX or Centrex system, the PBX or  
Centrex system may include a call hold feature that lets you place a call on  
hold and place another call on the same line. For more information, see the  
documentation for your PBX or Centrex system. (When your Centrex or  
PBX documentation tells you to use a switchhook flash, use the Recall  
feature instead.)  
Hold acts differently on feature phones (standard phones with feature  
buttons). When you press a Hold button on a feature phone, the call is held  
at the phone itself. This means other phones in the system cannot see that  
the call is on hold (it appears as a busy line). Also, callers on hold at a  
feature phone will not hear the system’s music-on-hold.

Hold Disconnect Time (#203)  
Hold Disconnect Time (#203)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure lets you change the hold disconnect time  
for an outside line. When a caller on hold hangs up, the local telephone company  
may send a special signal to the system to free the line. Different telephone  
companies use different length signals. The length of the signal is called the hold  
disconnect time. If you put a call on hold and the caller hangs up, but the call does  
not disconnect within a minute after the caller hangs up, the hold disconnect time  
is probably set too high, or set at No Detection.  
Considerations  
If the telephone company does not send a signal, keep the hold disconnect  
time set to 450 msec, the default setting. The user must disconnect a held  
call manually by retrieving the call then hanging it up.  
Shorten the hold disconnect time only if abandoned calls on hold do not  
disconnect.  
Lengthen the hold disconnect time only if calls are being disconnected  
prematurely.  
Valid Entries  
00 = No Detection  
01 = 50 msec

Hotline (#603)  
Hotline (#603)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure identifies an internal hotline extension and  
its alert extension. When a user lifts the handset of the hotline phone, the alert  
extension rings. You can set up several hotline and alert extension pairs. The alert  
extension can be the same or different for multiple hotline extensions.  
We recommend using a standard phone as the hotline phone since this feature  
makes use only of the phone’s intercom. The alert extension can be any type of  
phone; or it can be the loudspeaker paging system so the hotline phone can be  
used to make announcements over the loudspeaker.  
Related Features  
To prevent outside calls from being made or received on the hotline phone,  
use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines or Pool  
Extension Assignment (#314) to remove all pools from the hotline  
extension.  
Set Automatic Line Selection for the hotline extension to intercom only.  
Remove hotline extensions from Night Service Group Extensions  
(#504), Calling Group Extensions (#502), and Hunt Group Extensions  
(#505).  
Use External Hotline (#311) to identify an extension that automatically  
dials a programmed outside number when a user lifts the handset.  
Considerations  
The same extension cannot be assigned as both a hotline and a  
doorphone. Assigning a doorphone extension as a hotline extension  
cancels the doorphone setting.  
You should not assign hotline phones to extension 10, 11, or to the first two  
extensions of any 206 or 308EC modules, which are reserved as power  
failure extensions.  
The hotline phone can receive transferred calls (but the user at that  
extension should not pick up the handset until the phone rings).  
Valid Entries  
A hotline extension (any extension except extension 10, 11, or the first two  
extensions of any 206 or 308EC modules)  
An alert system extension (any extension or 70 for the loudspeaker paging  
system)  
No hotline or alert extension assigned ✔

Example  
A supermarket installs a hotline phone at its meat counter. When a customer uses  
the hotline phone, the butcher’s phone rings. Alternatively, if the loudspeaker  
paging system is programmed as the alert extension, a sales clerk could request  
a “price check” over the loudspeaker simply by lifting the handset of the hotline  
phone.  
Programming  
(See Figure 2-3 on page 2-22 for the location of special programming buttons such  
as s and e on system phones.)  
To identify a hotline extension and its alert extension:

Hunt Group Extensions (#505)  
Hunt Group Extensions (#505)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure lets you assign any number of extensions to  
a Hunt Group. The system supports up to eight Hunt Groups; however, Hunt  
Group 7 is used exclusively for the voice messaging system and Hunt Group 8 is  
used exclusively for transferring and detecting fax calls.  
Related Features for Hunt Groups 1–6  
For instructions on ringing or paging extensions in a Hunt Group or  
transferring calls to a Hunt Group, see Group Hunting.  
If a ringing call to the Hunt Group is not answered within three rings, the  
call moves to the next available extension in the Hunt Group. If users in the  
Hunt Group leave their desks, they should turn on Do Not Disturb at their  
extensions so calls hunt immediately to the next available extension.  
For instructions on making outside calls ring directly in a Hunt Group, see  
Hunt Group calls are not eligible for Call Coverage or VMS Cover.  
When using PARTNER MAIL Release 3 or later, a call to a busy Hunt  
Group can be sent to a Hunt Group mailbox.  
Related Features for Hunt Group 7  
This Hunt Group applies only to the voice messaging system. For more  
information, see VMS Cover Rings (#117) or (#321), Group Call  
After you assign the extensions associated with the voice messaging  
system hardware to Hunt Group 7, you should set the Transfer Return  
Extension (#306) for those extensions to extension 10 (or another  
extension with a person who can assist the caller).  
Related Features for Hunt Group 8  
This Hunt Group applies only to transferring and detecting fax calls. For  
Hunt Group 8 should not be used as a standard hunt group, since calls are  
automatically transferred to this hunt group.

Feature Reference  
Considerations for Hunt Groups 1–6  
Any number of extensions can be assigned to each Hunt Group. In  
addition, extensions can be in more than one Hunt Group.  
You can include multiple fax machines or answering machines in a Hunt  
Group.  
If you have a PARTNER MAIL system and multiple fax machines, you can  
assign the fax machines to a Hunt Group. Then you can program the  
PARTNER MAIL system so that when an automatic fax call comes in on a  
line covered by the PARTNER MAIL’s Automated Attendant Service, the  
PARTNER MAIL system recognizes that it is a fax call and automatically  
transfers it to the first available fax machine in the group.  
Considerations for Hunt Group 7  
This Hunt Group is used exclusively for the extensions associated with the voice  
messaging system hardware. Do not assign any other extensions to this group. A  
voice messaging system requires special hardware and set up procedures—refer  
to ‘‘Voice Messaging Systems’’ on page 4-28 and to the documentation shipped  
with the voice messaging system for more information.  
Considerations for Hunt Group 8  
This Hunt Group is used exclusively for fax machines. Do not assign any other  
extensions to this group.  
When lines appear on a fax extension, you will want to make sure that the fax  
machine does not automatically answer outside calls on these lines. There are  
three ways you can do this:  
Set the fax machine for delayed pickup.  
Use Line Ringing to change the ring options on the fax extension to either  
delayed ring or no ring.  
(Recommended) Use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines  
from the fax extension.

Intercom Dial Tone (#309)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure determines the type of dial tone that the  
system provides at an extension. It may be necessary to change this setting to  
Machine (outside line) dial tone for an autodialing device, such as a fax or  
modem, that has trouble making calls. For example, if you have a modem that  
checks for outside line dial tone before dialing, use this procedure to change from  
Regular to Machine dial tone.  
Considerations  
Use this procedure only if an autodialing device has trouble making calls.

Joining Calls  
Joining Calls  
Description  
Joining is adding yourself to a call in progress, the same way you do on a home  
telephone by picking up an extension. (This is different from conferencing, in  
which the originator “pulls you into” the call.) Up to three system extensions can  
join a call on an outside line (for a total of one outside and four inside parties).  
Related Features  
You can use Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) to prevent other  
extensions from joining calls on a specific extension. This is especially  
useful for answering machines, fax machines, modems, and credit card  
scanners, because trying to join one of these devices could interfere with  
its operation.  
Users can program Privacy onto a system phone button to allow or  
prevent others from joining their calls as needed.  
Caller ID information displays if you join a call; however, you cannot join a  
call at any extension that has Privacy activated.  
If a line is not assigned to a user’s extension and access to that line is not  
restricted for that extension, the user can use Direct Line Pickup—Active  
Line to join a call on that line.  
You can join a call answered by Automatic System Answer or Direct  
Extension Dial by pressing the line button and lifting the handset. The  
message stops playing when you join the call.  
Pooled extension users can add other parties to a call by pressing pool  
buttons.  
Considerations  
You cannot join a call by pressing a pool button.  
You cannot join an intercom call or a conference call at another extension.  
You cannot join a call on an extension that has a voice interrupt on busy  
call in progress.  
You can join a call that is being answered by the voice messaging system,  
but only if Automatic Extension Privacy is Not Assigned for the extensions  
associated with the voice messaging system hardware. If this is the case,  
when you join the call, the voice messaging system disconnects  
automatically so you can speak to the caller.  
You cannot put a joined call on hold.

How to Join a Call  
System Phone  
A steady red light next to a line button indicates a call is in progress at another  
extension.  
To join a call:  
Press the line button next to the steady red light and lift the handset,  
or  
Lift the handset and press i 6 8 and the two-digit line number.  
The red and green lights alternately flash. You are now joined with  
the call.

Last Number Redial (F05)  
Last Number Redial (F05)  
Description  
This feature redials the last outside number dialed (maximum 28 digits). It is  
useful for immediately redialing a busy number.  
Related Features  
You can use Save Number Redial (F04) to temporarily save the last  
number dialed. The difference between Last Number Redial and Save  
Number Redial is that Save Number Redial allows you to make other  
outside calls before redialing the saved number.  
System Speed Dial Numbers cannot be redialed with this feature.  
A Last Number Redial number can begin with a star code; the system  
automatically inserts a delay based on the Star Code Dial Delay (#410)  
setting.  
A number dialed automatically using the Caller ID Call Logging and  
Dialing feature can be redialed with this feature.  
This feature interrupts Call Screening (F25).  
Considerations  
This feature redials all digits dialed on the last outside call except account  
codes.  
You can program a Last Number Redial button on a system phone to redial  
a number with one touch.

This procedure is the most extreme way to restrict dialing. For example, an  
extension with a line set to In Only or No Access cannot select the line to  
dial out— even for numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List  
summary of all dialing restrictions.  
For pooled extensions, use Pool Access Restriction (#315) to assign  
restrictions to all the lines assigned to a specific pool. (Pool Access  
Restriction overrides Line Access Restriction.) For individual lines on  
pooled extensions, use Line Access Restriction.  
To prevent an extension from using a line, restrict the line even if it is not  
assigned to the extension, so it cannot be accessed using Direct Line  
Pickup. If an extension’s access to a line is set to No Access or In Only,  
the extension cannot place calls on that line, either by pressing the line  
button or by using Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line. Likewise, if the  
extension’s access to a line is set to No Access or Out Only, the extension  
cannot receive calls on that line that are ringing at other extensions, either  
by pressing the line button or by using Direct Line Pickup—Active Line.  
When a user has access to an outside line for outgoing calls, dialing  
restrictions can be customized for the user’s extension by using Outgoing  
Call Restriction (#401) and Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404).  
Caller ID information does not display for ringing calls on lines  
programmed for Out Only or No Access.  
Considerations  
If a line is assigned to a phone, but is restricted to No Access, the line button lights  
show calling activity; but the line cannot be used to place or receive calls.  
Valid Entries  
1 = No Restriction (calls permitted on that line) ✔  
2 = Out Only (can only make outside calls, not receive them, on that line)  
3 = In Only (can only receive calls, not make them, on that line)  
4 = No Access (cannot receive or make calls, but can join calls, receive  
transferred calls, or pick up calls on hold on that line)

Line Assignment (#301)  
Line Assignment (#301)  
Description  
This procedure applies to key extensions or to individual lines on pooled  
extensions.  
This System Programming procedure assigns the outside lines that are available  
at an extension. The default order of line assignment to the buttons on a system  
phone is from left to right, starting in the bottom left corner (see Figure 5-7 on the  
next page). To put the lines in a different order, first use this procedure to remove  
all assigned lines; then assign lines in the desired order.  
Related Features  
Number of Lines (#104) can be used only during initial system setup to  
assign a subset of lines to all extensions. You can use Line Assignment to  
assign additional lines to specific extensions. For example, if five lines  
were assigned to all extensions using Number of Lines (#104) and there  
are eight lines in the system, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines  
6, 7, and 8 to specific extensions.  
After you finish Line Assignment, you can use Line Ringing to identify  
when each outside line assigned to an extension should start ringing. If you  
add a line to the system, its factory setting is Immediate Ring.  
You can use Automatic Line Selection to determine the order in which  
the system selects a line for an extension when the user at that extension  
lifts the handset or turns on the speaker to make a call. If you add a line to  
the system, it becomes the last line in the selection sequence.  
Remove all outside lines from Hotline (#603) and Doorphone (#604/#605)  
extensions to prevent calls from being made or received on them.  
If you want to prevent a user at an extension from accessing a line, make  
sure you restrict the line for that extension using Line Access Restriction  
(#302) even if the line is not assigned to that extension, so it cannot be  
accessed using Direct Line Pickup. Similarly, if you want to prevent a user  
at an extension from accessing all the lines in a pool, make sure you  
restrict the pool for that extension using Pool Access Restriction (#315)  
even if the pool is not assigned to that extension, so it cannot be accessed  
using the pool access code.  
The user must have access to an outside line in order to dial numbers on  
the Emergency Phone Number List (#406).

Line Assignment (#301)  
Considerations  
You cannot assign a line that belongs to a pool as an individual line on that  
pooled extension.  
A line must be assigned to a button with lights. If a line is assigned to a  
button without lights, you cannot access that line, nor can you program  
anything else on the button.  
You can assign multiple lines (up to 19) to a standard phone, but a  
single-line phone can handle only one call at a time. To make a call, a user  
lifts the handset and dials 9 at the intercom dial tone; the system selects  
the first available line based on the Automatic Line Selection  
programmed for the extension. (Alternatively, the user can use Direct Line  
Pickup to access a specific line.)  
Valid Entries  
1 = Assigned ✔  
2 = Not Assigned  
3 = Select Button (then press a line button to assign the line to that button)  
Programming  
(See Figure 2-3 on page 2-22 for the location of special programming buttons such  
as s and e on system phones.)  
To assign lines to a specific extension:  
1. Press f 0 0 s s # 3 0 1 at extension  
10 or 11.  
2. Enter the extension number to be programmed. For example, to program  
extension 15, press 1 5.

Line Coverage Extension (#208)  
Line Coverage Extension (#208)  
Description  
This feature applies only if you have a voice messaging system.  
This System Programming procedure identifies an extension as the “owner” of a  
specific outside line, so the extension can activate Call Coverage or VMS Cover  
for that line.  
Related Features  
An extension’s “owned” line is eligible for coverage only if Line Ringing is  
set to Immediate Ring or Delayed Ring and Line Access Restriction  
(#302) is set to No Restriction or In Only.  
Use Call Coverage to redirect an extension’s calls on owned lines to the  
covering extension.  
Use Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320) to specify the number of times  
a call rings at the owner’s extension before it is sent to the covering  
extension.  
Use VMS Cover or Automatic VMS Cover (#310) to redirect the  
extension’s calls on owned lines to the voice messaging system.  
Use VMS Cover Rings (#117) or (#321) to specify the number of times a  
call rings at the owner’s extension before it is sent to the voice messaging  
system.  
Users with Call Coverage or VMS Cover turned on can Send All Calls  
immediately to their covering extension or their voice mailbox by activating  
Do Not Disturb.  
To use Call Screening (F25), the station must be the Line Coverage  
Extension for that line.  
Considerations  
Only one owner can be assigned to a specific line. However, multiple lines  
can be owned by the same extension.  
This feature provides an alternative method of routing outside calls to the  
voice messaging system for Call Answer Service.  
This feature has no effect on the CO Line Ownership procedure in  
PARTNER MAIL, PARTNER MAIL VS or PARTNER Voice Messaging PC  
Card.

Line Ringing  
Line Ringing  
Description  
This Telephone Programming procedure determines how each outside line or pool  
assigned to an extension rings. A line or pool can ring immediately, ring with a  
20-second delay, or not ring at all. Delayed Ring is useful for backup coverage on  
shared lines or pools, such as for secretaries who cover each other’s lines. No  
Ring is useful for all extensions except 10 when a receptionist answers all calls, or  
for phones with no regular users, such as those in conference rooms.  
Related Features  
To copy the Line Ringing settings (as well as other system settings) to  
other extensions, you can use Copy Settings (#399).  
If a line is set to No Ring, Call Screening (F25) cannot be used.  
Users automatically receive Caller ID information for calls that audibly alert  
at the extension:  
— For lines or pools set to Immediate Ring, Caller ID information is  
displayed after the first ring.  
— For lines or pools set to Delayed Ring, Caller ID information is  
displayed as soon as the call begins audibly alerting.  
— For lines or pools set to No Ring, no Caller ID information is  
displayed.  
If the phone is idle, users can press the line button to see the Caller ID  
information.  
If the phone is in use, users can press a button programmed with  
Caller ID Inspect to see the information.  
Considerations  
Program this feature from extension 10 or 11 only, using Centralized  
Telephone Programming. Individual users cannot program this feature.  
System phone users see the light patterns for the lines assigned to their  
extensions even if Line Ringing is set to Delayed Ring or No Ring. Light  
patterns do not appear for incoming calls on pool buttons that are set to No  
Ring.  
If a line at an extension is set to No Ring, a user at that extension has to  
manually select the line to answer a call.

Making Calls  
Making Calls  
Description  
A user can make a call by dialing an outside phone number or an extension  
number. There are also several ways to speed dial a number—see ‘‘Related  
Features’’ below.  
Hybrid Mode Only  
Making calls in Hybrid mode is the same as in Key mode except users can  
select a pool button rather than a line button to access an outside line.  
When a user presses a pool button, the system automatically selects an  
idle line belonging to the pool.  
To access a line in a pool that is not assigned to that extension or to access  
a line in a pool that the user is already using, system phone users can  
press i and dial the pool access code. If all lines in a pool are busy,  
the user hears busy tone.  
Automatic Line Selection can be programmed to change the way the  
system selects pools when a user lifts the handset to make a call.  
To restrict an extension’s access to all lines assigned to a pool, use Pool  
Access Restriction (#315). If users are not allowed outgoing access to a  
pool, they hear a reorder tone after dialing the pool access code at the  
intercom dial tone.  
Related Features  
You can store an outside number, an intercom number, or a feature code  
on a button, so a user can dial the number with a single touch. For  
information about programming and using Auto Dial buttons, see Auto  
You can program outside numbers for one extension or for the entire  
system, so a user can dial a number by pressing f (or # on a  
standard phone) plus a two- or three-digit code (80–99 for Personal Speed  
Dial numbers, 600–699 for System Speed Dial numbers). For more  
If a user lifts the handset before pressing a line or pool button, the system  
automatically selects the first available outside line or pool, or the intercom.  
The order in which the system makes the selection is determined by the  
Automatic Line Selection for the extension.  
On either a system phone or a standard phone, users also can use Direct  
Line Pickup—Idle Line to access a line for making an outside call.  
Users can ring or page any of four Calling Groups. For more information,  
5-183

Feature Reference  
Users can ring any of the seven Hunt Groups or voice signal Hunt Groups  
1–6. For more information, see Group Hunting—Ring/Voice Signal.  
If Station Lock is used at an extension, users cannot dial outside numbers  
except Marked System Speed Dial Numbers and numbers on the  
Emergency Phone Number List (#406).  
If dialing restrictions are programmed for an extension, the system may  
prevent a user at that extension from placing certain calls. For example, a  
user may not be allowed to dial 900 numbers from the extension. (Or an  
extension may be programmed to take incoming calls only, so the user  
cannot dial out at all.) The following features provide dialing restrictions:  
Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404), Line Access Restriction  
(#302) Pool Access Restriction (#315), and Outgoing Call Restriction  
(#401).  
The following features can be used to override dialing restrictions: Allowed  
Phone Number Lists (#407), Emergency Phone Number List (#406),  
Marked System Speed Dial Numbers, and System Password (#403).  
Users with system phones can enter account codes to track incoming and  
outgoing calls. For more information, see Account Code Entry. You also  
can use Forced Account Code Entry (#307) to identify extensions that  
must enter account codes prior to dialing outside phone numbers (including  
those on the Emergency Phone Number List).  
Users can signal, then speak to, system phone users who are already  
active on a call to alert them of important business matters, provided Voice  
Interrupt On Busy (#312) is Assigned for the recipient.  
Considerations  
The following instructions assume that system phones are set (using Automatic  
Line Selection) to automatically select outside lines first, and standard phones are  
set to select intercom first. This means that when a user with a system phone lifts  
the handset, the user hears outside dial tone (if an outside line is available); but  
when a user with a standard phone lifts the handset, the user hears intercom dial  
tone.  
How to Make an Outside Call  
System Phone  
1. Lift the handset or press S.  
The green light next to a line or pool button is on steady and you hear the  
outside dial tone.  
2. Dial the phone number.  
On a system display phone, the dialed number appears on the display.  
If you are using a PBX or Centrex line, you also may need to use a dial-out  
code (usually 9) before you dial a number outside the system.

How to Make an Intercom Call  
An intercom call, or inside call, is a call between two extensions without using an  
outside line. There are two ways you can signal the extension you are calling: by  
ringing or by voice.  
System Phone  
You can lift the handset or press S before dialing, then:  
1. Press an idle i button (red and green lights are both off).  
You hear intercom dial tone, and the green light next to the i button  
is on steady.  
2. To ring the extension, dial the two-digit extension number.  
To voice-signal a system phone at the extension, press * plus the  
two-digit extension number and listen for one of the following responses:  
If you hear one beep, you have reached an idle system phone. You  
can speak after the beep.  
Your voice is heard through the other extension’s speaker. If the  
recipient is present, he or she can reply.  
If you hear two beeps, you have reached a busy system phone with  
Voice Interrupt On Busy Assigned. You can speak after the beeps.  
Be aware that the third party to whom the recipient is speaking  
probably also will hear the two beeps and the faint sound of your  
voice.Be brief and discreet in your interruption.  
If the recipient has a Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button, wait  
for a response.  
If you hear ringing, you have reached an idle standard, MLC-6, or  
TransTalk 9000-series phone, or a busy system phone with Voice  
Interrupt On Busy Not Assigned. Your call is not completed until  
someone answers.  
Standard Phone  
1. Lift the handset.  
You hear intercom dial tone.  
2. To ring the extension, dial the two-digit extension number.  
To voice-signal a system phone at the extension, press * plus the  
two-digit extension number and listen for one of the following responses:  
If you hear one beep, you have reached an idle system phone. You

Manual Signaling (F13XX or F13*XX)  
Description  
This feature applies only to PARTNER- and MLS-model phones.  
This feature lets you program a button on your PARTNER- or MLS-model phone  
that you can use to signal a predetermined co-worker’s extension. It typically is  
used by a receptionist to alert a user when the user is busy on another call. You  
can use a Manual Signaling button to beep, ring, or voice signal the user at the  
target extension.  
Related Features  
Voice Interrupt on Busy (#312) is an alternative feature that lets a user  
signal, then speak to, a user who is active on a call.  
You can use the Manual Signaling button instead of dialing the two-digit  
extension number required for these features: Call Coverage, Call  
Forwarding/Call Follow-Me, Message Light On, Message Light Off,  
Station Lock, and Voice Mailbox Transfer.  
To transfer a call to an extension for which you have a Manual Signaling  
button, press & before pressing the Manual Signaling button. See  
Considerations  
A PARTNER- or MLS-model phone is required at both extensions to use  
this feature.  
You must program the Manual Signaling feature code and the target  
extension number on a button. Use a button with lights if you want to view  
the status of the target extension, similar to an Auto Dial button.  
You can have only one button per extension—either on the system phone  
or on the Intercom Autodialer—for a target extension. The button can be  
programmed as a Manual Signaling button or as an Auto Dial button. The  
lights next to the button show calling activity—see ‘‘Lights’’ on page 3-4 for  
more information.  
If you signal an extension that has an Auto Dial or Manual Signaling button  
programmed for your extension, the green light next to that button flutters  
to identify your extension as the signaling extension.  
You can signal the target extension while you are on an outside call. (This  
does not initiate a one-touch transfer.)

Music-on-Hold (#602)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure activates or deactivates the Music-on-Hold  
jack on the processor module. The jack must be active and an audio source must  
be connected to the jack in order to provide recorded music or messages to  
callers on hold.  
Related Features  
You can adjust the volume of Music-on-Hold using Music-on-Hold Volume  
(#614).  
If Ring on Transfer (#119) is Not Active and Music-on-Hold is Active,  
transferred callers hear music-on-hold until the call is answered.  
If Music-on-Hold is Active, users with system phones with speakers can  
play Background Music through their phones’ speakers.  
If Automatic System Answer is on, callers hear music-on-hold while  
waiting for someone to answer the call.  
If Direct Extension Dial is on, callers hear ringing when the call is  
transferred regardless of the settings for Music-on-Hold (#602) and Ring  
on Transfer (#119).  
If the receptionist at extension 10 uses the Wake Up Service Button  
(#115) to schedule wake up calls, the recipients hear music-on-hold when  
they answer their wake up calls.  
Considerations  
If Music-on-Hold is Not Active or if no audio source is connected, callers on  
hold hear silence.  
The audio source must be connected to the control unit using an RCA  
phono plug. The Music-on-Hold input jack accepts a maximum input of 2  
Volts at 50 Kohms. For more information, see the PARTNER Advanced  
Communications System Installation guide.  
If the audio source develops trouble (such as a bad tape), you can quickly  
turn it off by changing the Music-on-Hold setting to Not Active until you are  
able to solve the problem.  
The performance of music over telephone lines is a public performance  
under United States Copyright law. Accordingly, in order for the  
performance of that music to be lawful, it must be licensed annually to the  
user by the copyright owners or their representatives.  
The Magic on Hold system, available from Lucent Technologies, includes  
the required license for the first year. This license must be renewed  
annually.

Night Service Button (#503)  
Night Service Button (#503)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure identifies a button on the system phone at  
extension 10 to be used to turn Night Service on and off. When Night Service is  
on, all lines and pools assigned to the phones of the users in the Night Service  
Group ring immediately, regardless of their normal Line Ringing settings.  
Night Service is useful if you want phones to ring after regular business hours. For  
example, although Shipping Department workers do not answer calls directly  
during the day, you want them to answer incoming calls after hours.  
Related Features  
Night Service affects only the extensions identified using Night Service  
Group Extensions (#504).  
If you program a System Password (#403), the password must be entered  
when turning Night Service on or off. In addition, when Night Service is on,  
users in the Night Service Group can dial only numbers on the Emergency  
Phone Number List (#406) and Marked System Speed Dial Numbers  
without entering the System Password. Night Service with a System  
Password is useful for controlling unauthorized use of phones after hours.  
If you have a voice messaging system, VMS Hunt Schedule (#507)  
determines when outside calls should ring the VMS Hunt Group (always,  
day only, or night only). The status of the Night Service button at extension  
10 tells the voice messaging system to operate in day or night mode.  
The Night Service button returns to the status (on/off) it was in immediately  
prior to a power failure or to System Reset (#728) being used.  
Considerations  
A Night Service button must be programmed on the system phone at  
extension 10.  
Night Service must be programmed on a button with lights. This feature  
does not work if it is programmed on a button without lights.  
A user in the Night Service Group can receive an after-hours outside call  
only if it comes in on a line or pool that is assigned to that user’s phone.  
Line or pool assignments for extensions in the Night Service group can  
vary from one extension to another.  
Dialing restrictions for extensions not in the Night Service Group remain  
the same as during normal daytime operation.  
If you reassign the Night Service button, it is removed from the button  
where it was previously assigned.

Number of Lines (#104)  
Description  
This feature should be used only for initial system setup.  
This System Programming procedure determines in Key mode the number of  
outside lines that are automatically assigned to all system extensions; in Hybrid  
mode, it determines the number of lines assigned to the main pool. (This number  
does not have to match the actual number of lines connected at the control unit.)  
This feature should be used only for initial system setup.  
Related Features  
!
WARNING:  
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) after initial setup. This feature should only be  
used for initial system setup. Please read the following information carefully.  
In Hybrid mode, do not use this procedure if you add lines to the system after  
initial setup, because it changes Pool Line Assignment (#207), Pool Extension  
Assignment (#314), Pool Access Restriction (#315), Automatic Line  
Selection, and Line Ringing for existing pools back to factory settings.  
Additionally, it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction  
(#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for individual lines back to  
factory settings. To change pool assignments without affecting other settings, use  
Pool Line Assignment (#207) and Pool Extension Assignment (#314).  
In Key mode, do not use this procedure if you add lines to the system after initial  
setup, because it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction  
(#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for existing lines back to  
factory settings. To change line assignments without affecting other settings, use  
Line Assignment (#301).  
Considerations  
You can use this feature to tell the system how many lines are actually  
connected at the control unit. For example, if some line jacks do not have  
lines connected, use this procedure to indicate the number of jacks that  
actually have lines connected; otherwise the line numbers associated with  
empty jacks would be assigned to phones as though there were actually  
lines connected.  
You can use this procedure to limit the number of lines that are  
automatically assigned to all extensions. For example, if there are ten lines  
connected to the control unit, you can use this procedure to set the number  
of lines to eight, so that only the first eight lines are assigned to all system  
extensions. You can then use Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines 9  
and 10 to specific extensions.

Outgoing Call Restriction (#401)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure identifies the types of outgoing calls that  
can be made on all lines at an extension. See ‘Dialing Restrictions and  
Permissions’’ on page 2-12 for a summary of calling restrictions.  
Related Features  
This restriction also applies to lines that a user has access to with Direct  
Line Pickup—Idle Line.  
To override this feature, users can dial Marked System Speed Dial  
Numbers and numbers from an Allowed Phone Number List (#407) and  
the Emergency Phone Number List (#406). Also, if a System Password  
(#403) is defined, MLS-model system phone users can enter it to override  
restrictions.  
You can program a button on the system phone at extension 10 to be used  
to quickly change an extension’s Outgoing Call Restriction setting. See  
You can use Line Access Restriction (#302) to restrict extensions from  
making or receiving calls on specific lines, Pool Access Restriction  
(#315) to restrict extensions from making or receiving calls on all lines  
belonging to a specific pool, and Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404)  
to specify telephone numbers that users cannot dial.  
If you program an extension for Forced Account Code Entry (#307), the  
user at that extension must enter an Account Code before accessing an  
outside line. (This feature is not available on standard phones.)  
NOTE:  
For ACS Release 3.0 or later, Forced Account Code extensions can  
dial numbers on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406) without  
entering an account code. Users can make 911 calls from the Forced  
Account Code extensions without entering the account code as long  
as 911 has been entered into the Emergency Phone Number List.  
If Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is active, the system checks for allowed  
and disallowed phone numbers again beginning with the first digit after the  
star code.  
Considerations  
While procedures that restrict dialing are very effective, absolute protection  
against misuse cannot be guaranteed. System phones give you more  
protection against such misuse than standard phones. Therefore, we  
strongly recommend that you install system phones where restricting  
phone use is important.

Outgoing Call Restriction (#401)  
If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and a dial-out code  
(usually 9) is needed to place calls outside the PBX or Centrex system, the  
control unit may not be able to prevent calls for extensions restricted to  
Local Only. If dialing restrictions are needed on Centrex lines, use Centrex  
restrictions instead.  
If you want to restrict the use of star code s, include them in the Disallowed  
Phone Number Lists.

Outgoing Call Restriction Button (#114)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure identifies a button on the system phone at  
extension 10 to be used to change the current Outgoing Call Restriction setting for  
an extension.  
This button is useful for quickly changing an extension’s restriction. For example,  
after a guest’s departure, a hotel manager can change the Outgoing Call  
Restriction setting of the room phone from No Restriction to Inside Only so  
outside calls cannot be made from the phone after the guest checks out.  
Conversely, a receptionist can change the Outgoing Call Restriction setting of a  
conference room phone from Local Only (which prevents users from making long  
distance calls) to No Restriction so a client can dial long distance.  
Related Features  
Rather than using an Outgoing Call Restriction button, you can use  
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) to change an extension’s Outgoing Call  
Restriction setting through System Programming if you prefer.  
You must use an Auto Dial button with lights to designate the extension you  
want to change after you press the Outgoing Call Restriction button. It is  
recommended that you use an Auto Dial button on the PARTNER-CA48  
Intercom Autodialer. However, you can use an intercom Auto Dial button on  
the system phone at extension 10 provided the button has lights. For  
information about programming Auto Dial buttons, see ‘‘Auto Dialing’’ on  
page 5-17.  
Considerations  
An Outgoing Call Restriction button must be programmed on the system  
phone at extension 10.  
Outgoing Call Restriction must be programmed on a button with lights. This  
feature does not work if it is programmed on a button lights.  
The system considers extension 10 busy while you are using the Outgoing  
Call Restriction button, and the phone acts as if it is in System  
Programming mode. You cannot use other features or handle calls at  
extension 10 until you are through using the feature.  
You cannot use the Outgoing Call Restriction button to change an  
extension’s setting while extension 11 is in System Programming mode.

Personal Speed Dial Numbers  
Description  
This Telephone Programming procedure lets you store up to 20 frequently-dialed  
numbers for each extension. Personal Speed Dial numbers can be dialed quickly  
by pressing f (or # at intercom dial tone on a standard phone) and the  
two-digit code from 80 through 99. The Personal Speed Dial numbers  
programmed for a particular extension are for use only at that extension.  
Related Features  
Personal speed dialing, which lets users dial a number by pressing three  
buttons, is different from Auto Dialing, which lets users dial a number by  
pressing a single button.  
For instructions on entering special characters (such as Pause) in a  
You can use System Speed Dial Numbers to create a list of up to 100  
frequently dialed numbers available to all system users.  
You can store account codes as Personal Speed Dial numbers for use with  
the Account Code Entry feature.  
External Hotline (#311) uses Personal Speed Dial code 80 for the external  
hotline telephone number.  
A Personal Speed Dial number can begin with a star code; the system  
automatically inserts a delay based on the Star Code Dial Delay (#410)  
setting.  
This feature cannot be used with Call Screening (F25).  
Considerations  
If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and a dial-out code  
(usually 9) is needed to place calls outside the PBX or Centrex system,  
include the dial-out code in Speed Dial numbers that must dial out of the  
PBX or Centrex system.  
Personal Speed Dial codes cannot be programmed onto Auto Dial buttons.  
You can dial Personal Speed Dial numbers on a standard phone, but the  
numbers must be programmed from extension 10 or 11.  
A combined total of 800 outside Auto Dial and Personal Speed Dial  
numbers can be programmed.

Pickup Group Extensions (#501)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure lets you assign extensions to a Pickup  
Group. When a call rings at an extension in a Pickup Group, a user at any other  
extension in the system can answer the ringing call by dialing the Pickup Group  
code. The Pickup Group feature is useful when a user needs to answer calls on  
lines or pools not assigned to his or her phone. The system supports up to four  
Pickup Groups.  
Related Features  
For instructions on answering calls in a Pickup Group, see Group Pickup (I66G).  
Considerations  
An extension can be assigned to as many as four different Pickup Groups.  
Extensions where extra alerts (such as a loud bell) are installed can be

Pool Access Restriction (#315)— Release 2.0 or Later  
Pool Access Restriction  
(#315)— Release 2.0 or Later  
Description  
This procedure applies only to pooled extensions in Hybrid mode.  
This System Programming procedure restricts a pooled extension from receiving  
and/or making outside calls on all lines belonging to a specific pool. For example,  
you may want customer service representatives to make calls using the WATS  
lines that belong to auxiliary pool 881, but not receive incoming calls on the lines  
in that pool; in this case, you assign pool 881 to the customer service  
representative’s phones and restrict the pool to Out Only.  
Related Features  
This procedure is the most extreme way to restrict dialing. For example, an  
extension set to In Only or No Access for a particular pool cannot select  
that pool to dial out—even for numbers on the Emergency Phone  
2-12 for a summary of all dialing restrictions.  
When a user has access to a pool for outgoing calls, you can customize  
dialing restrictions for the user’s extension by using Outgoing Call  
Restriction (#401) and Disallowed Phone Number Lists (#404).  
To restrict a pooled extension from receiving and/or making calls on  
individual lines, you must use Line Access Restriction (#302).  
You can use Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign pools to  
specific extensions.  
You can use Pool Line Assignment (#207) to assign lines to or remove  
lines from pools.  
Caller ID information does not display for ringing calls on lines belonging to  
a pool programmed for Out Only or for No Access.  
Considerations  
For extension 10 and any extensions for which Line Access Mode (#313) is set  
to Key, this procedure is automatically set to No Access.  
Valid Entries  
1 = No Restriction (calls permitted on all lines in that pool) ✔  
2 = Out Only (can only make outside calls, not receive them, on lines in that pool)  
3 = In Only (can only receive calls, not make them, on lines in that pool)  
4 = No Access (cannot receive or make calls, but can receive transferred calls on  
lines in that pool)

Pool Extension Assignment  
(#314)—Release 2.0 or Later  
Description  
This feature applies only to pooled extensions in Hybrid mode.  
This System Programming procedure identifies the pools that are assigned to  
buttons at a pooled extension. The system uses two buttons to represent the main  
pool (880) and one for each auxiliary pool (881, 882, 883). Up to five pool buttons  
can be assigned per extension.  
Related Features  
You should use Pool Line Assignment (#207) prior to this procedure to  
assign lines to or remove lines from pools.  
You can use Line Assignment (#301) to assign individual outside lines to  
buttons on a pooled extension.  
Users must have access to an outside line or pool in order to dial numbers  
on the Emergency Phone Number List (#406).  
You can use Automatic Line Selection to change the order in which the  
system selects lines or pools when the user at that extension lifts the  
handset or presses S to make a call. Note that auxiliary pools (881, 882,  
and 883) are not automatically added to an extension’s Automatic Line  
Selection.  
You can use Line Ringing to identify when each pool and individual line  
assigned to an extension should start ringing (the factory setting for pools  
is No Ring and for lines is Immediate Ring).  
If you want to prevent a user at an extension from accessing all the lines in  
a pool, you must restrict the extension using Pool Access Restriction  
(#315).  
If you want to prevent a user at an extension from accessing an individual  
line, you must use Line Access Restriction (#302).  
Remove pools from Hotline (#603) and Doorphone (#604/#605)  
extensions, to prevent calls from being made or received on them.  
You can use Line Access Mode (#313) to change an extension from a  
pooled extension to a key extension.  
When using Unique Line Ringing (#209), incoming calls that ring at a pool  
button will ring with the pattern assigned to that line. Lines within a pool  
may be assigned individual ring patterns.

Feature Reference  
Considerations  
You cannot assign pool buttons to extension 10 or to any key extension.  
The main pool buttons are always assigned to the two leftmost buttons on  
the bottom row of a system phone. You cannot use Select Button (Setting 3)  
for the main pool (880) during Pool Extension Assignment programming.  
If you select Not Assigned (Setting 2) for the main pool (880) during Pool  
Extension Assignment programming, the main pool is removed from the  
two leftmost buttons on the bottom row of the system phone at that  
extension. The buttons are then available for programming lines, auxiliary  
pools, or system features. If the main pool is ever reassigned to that  
extension, previous programming will be erased.  
Auxiliary pool buttons will be located next to the main pool buttons unless  
you select Setting 3 to choose a button location when programming.  
You can assign up to four pools to a standard phone, but a single-line  
phone can make only one call at a time. To make a call, the user lifts the  
handset and dials 9; the system selects the first available pool based on  
the Automatic Line Selection programmed for that extension. Alternatively,  
the user can dial a pool access code to make a call using a specific pool.  
Valid Entries  
1 = Assigned Main pool  
2 = Not Assigned Auxiliary pool  
3 = Select Button (auxiliary pools only), then press a button to assign the auxiliary  
pool to that button

Pool Line Assignment  
(#207)—Release 2.0 or Later  
Description  
This procedure applies only to systems configured for Hybrid mode.  
This System Programming procedure assigns lines to or removes lines from the  
main and auxiliary pools supported for Hybrid mode. You can change line  
assignments in the main pool (880) or in any of three auxiliary pools (881, 882, or  
883).  
Related Features  
You can use Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign pools created  
with this procedure to specific extensions.  
If you want to prevent a user at an extension from accessing all lines in a  
specific pool, you must restrict the extension using Pool Access  
Restriction (#315).  
You can use Line Access Mode (#313) to change a pooled extension to a  
key extension.  
Considerations  
You can assign some or all outside lines to a specific pool, but you cannot  
assign a specific outside line to more than one pool.  
Because users cannot control which line they get when they access a pool,  
you should group lines with similar purposes (WATS lines, FX lines, lines  
designated for a particular set of users) together in a unique pool.  
If you have individual lines assigned to a pooled extension and you use this  
procedure to change pool line assignment, be careful not to press D  
or d to specify a pool assignment. If you do, the system will remove  
that line from all extensions that have the line assigned.

Privacy (F07)  
Description  
This feature is available only on system phones.  
This feature lets system phone users press a programmed button to turn Privacy  
on and off, preventing or allowing other users to join calls at the user’s extension  
as needed.  
Related Procedures  
If Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) is Assigned for an extension, that  
extension normally is private. However, if a user sometimes needs to have  
co-workers join conversations, the user can program a Privacy button to  
turn Privacy on and off as needed. Once a Privacy button is programmed,  
the user must use the button to turn Privacy on and off even though  
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) is Assigned. Automatic Extension  
Privacy (#304) is appropriate for use with standard phones.  
Privacy applies to active calls—any user can retrieve a held call unless the  
call is placed on hold with Exclusive Hold.  
If you have Caller ID, you can use Privacy at your extension to prevent  
other users from joining your call and from accessing the Caller ID  
information displayed for active calls at your extension.  
Considerations  
Privacy must be programmed on a button with lights. (Users cannot dial the  
Privacy code manually, or use a programmed button without lights, to  
activate this feature.) When Privacy is on, the button light at the extension  
is also on, indicating that others cannot join calls.  
Privacy can be turned on and off at any time, even during a call.  
Users cannot join calls using pool buttons regardless of the Automatic  
Extension Privacy setting or the state of the Privacy Button.

Centrex feature, such as Call Waiting.  
Related Features  
If users have trouble with Recall, use Recall Timer Duration (#107) to  
adjust the length of the Recall signal. Your local phone company can tell  
you the correct setting—for most Centrex systems, the correct setting is  
800 msec. (or 32).  
You can press S to insert a Recall signal in an Auto Dial or Speed Dial  
number, provided it is the first character in the stored number. (For  
Considerations  
Using Recall on an intercom call, disconnects the call.  
Whenever your PBX or Centrex documentation tells you to press the  
switchhook when you are on an outside call, use the Recall feature instead.  
If you are already on a call, most PBX or Centrex systems require that you  
press the switchhook to get a new dial tone, then dial a feature access  
code to access a specific PBX or Centrex service.  
— On a system phone, press a programmed button or  
press f 0 3 to use Recall.  
— On a standard phone, first press and release the switchhook to get  
intercom dial tone, then send a Recall signal by pressing # 0 3.  
— On a (standard) feature phone that has a Recall or Flash button, first  
press the Recall or Flash button to get intercom dial tone, then send  
a system Recall signal by pressing # 0 3.

Recall Timer Duration (#107)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure lets you change the length of the timed  
signal, or switchhook flash, generated by the system Recall feature (as well as by  
the Recall option used in Auto Dial and Speed Dial numbers). Recall sends this  
timed signal over the phone line to the local telephone company or PBX to which  
the system is connected. Typically you use the Recall feature to access a PBX,  
central office, or Centrex feature, such as Call Waiting. Your local phone  
company can tell you the correct setting—for most Centrex systems, the correct  
setting is 800 msec. (or 32).  
Considerations  
You should change the factory setting only under two conditions:  
If using the system Recall feature has no effect, lengthen the time.  
If the system is connected to a PBX or Centrex system and Recall drops  
calls, shorten the time.

Restore Programming (#125)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure enables you to reinstate your system and  
telephone programming (except the System Day, System Date, and System  
Time) to the settings saved on a PC Card at the last system backup (manual or  
automatic). This procedure is useful if your system settings become corrupted, if  
you make changes and decide you would rather use the former settings, or if you  
replace your processor module and want to retain the system settings you had on  
the previous processor module. A successful restore takes about five seconds.  
NOTE:  
When a restore completes successfully, the Restore Complete message  
displays for two seconds at idle extensions 10 and 11, and then a System  
Reset—Programming Saved (#728) occurs, disconnecting any calls in  
progress. It is recommended that you warn users before beginning a  
restore, or do the restore during nonbusiness hours.  
Related Features  
Backup Programming—Automatic (#123) automatically saves your  
programmed settings at regular intervals.  
Backup Programming—Manual (#124) is a manual procedure that you  
can perform at any time to back up your system and telephone  
programming settings.  
System Reset—Programming Saved (#728) automatically occurs  
following a successful restore. The reset disconnects any calls in progress.  
Considerations  
If the restore is not successful, the display shows Restore Failed or  
Restore Failed-Try Again for two seconds. All calls that were in progress  
are disconnected and all of the system and telephone programming  
settings revert to the default settings.  
The PC Card in the PC Card slot must be a PARTNER ACS  
Backup/Restore PC Card, which can be purchased from Lucent  
Technologies.  
NOTE:  
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card,  
which allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and  
perform backup and restore functions. The PARTNER Remote  
Access PC Card is a PCMCIA card that can also be used to upgrade  
previous versions of PARTNER ACS to Release 3.0.

SMDR Output Format (#610)  
SMDR Output Format (#610)  
Description  
Call Reporting (often referred to as Station Message Detail Recording or SMDR)  
provides detailed tracking of telephone usage in a printed report. This System  
Programming procedure allows you to specify whether a maximum of 15 digits or  
24 digits is printed for dialed numbers in the Number field on the call report. The  
longer field is useful for businesses, such as law offices and hotels, that need to  
record many digits for outgoing calls for billing purposes.  
Before changing to 24 digits, check the documentation for your call accounting  
device to verify that 24 digit output is supported.  
Related Features  
You can use SMDR Record Type (#608) to specify the type of calls to be  
included on call reports.  
When you change the output format, the length of the Number field is  
adjusted for the next call record that prints. To print a new header, use  
SMDR Top of Page (#609).  
If you use Automatic System Answer or Direct Extension Dial, you may  
want to set SMDR Talk Time (#611) to Active to print on call reports the  
time a user spends on an incoming outside call—from the time the user  
answers the call to the time the call is disconnected from the system.  
Considerations  
This feature requires special hardware and/or software. For more  
information, see ‘Call Reporting Devices (SMDR)’’ on page 4-9.  
If the output format is set to 15 digits and a “?” prints as the last digit of a  
dialed number on a call report (indicating that the digits dialed exceed the  
15 digits the Number field can hold), you may want to change the output  
format to 24 digits.  
If the output format is set to 24 digits and SMDR Talk Time (#611) is set to  
Active, the combined length of the fields for a call record will be greater  
than the 80 characters supported by most printers. If call records wrap  
around to the next line, reduce the font size or increase the  
characters-per-inch setting for the printer. If necessary, change the output  
format back to 15 digits.

Special Dialing Functions  
Description  
This feature lets you add special characters for System Speed Dial numbers,  
Personal Speed Dial numbers, and Auto Dial numbers, as follows:  
Function  
Button  
Display  
Description  
Pause  
P
Inserts a 1.5-second pause in the dialing  
sequence to wait for a response, such as  
a dial tone or computer voice message.  
h
Recall  
R
S
Sends a timed switchhook flash needed  
to alert the system on the other end (such  
as a PBX or Centrex system), and to use  
some local telephone company custom  
calling features (such as Call Waiting).  
Use Recall only as the first entry in an  
Auto Dial or Speed Dial number.  
S
Stop  
Stops the dialing sequence until the Auto  
Dial button or Speed Dial number is used  
again (for example, so the user can enter  
additional digits, such as a credit card  
number or password). To continue, press  
the Auto Dial button or f and the  
two- or three-digit Speed Dial code. (Stop  
cannot be programmed from an MLC-6 or  
a TransTalk 9000-series phone, since it  
has no! button.)

Special Dialing Functions  
Recall/Centrex Feature Button: The following entry shows how to  
program an Auto Dial button with a Centrex feature that you use while on a  
call, for which the feature access code is *32. This example includes a  
Recall signal to send a switchhook flash to the Centrex system when you  
are already on a call. (You can store a Recall signal by pressing S, but  
only if it is the first character stored.) It also includes a 1.5-second pause  
(which you insert by pressing h) to allow time to get a new Centrex dial  
tone: S h * 3 2.  
Stop: Your local bank-by-phone service requires that you enter a password  
before the account number. To program a Personal Speed Dial number or  
an Auto Dial button to call the bank at 555-7898, include a stop for  
manually entering the password, and continue with the account number  
(679 88), enter 5 5 5 7 8 9 8! 6 7 9 8 8.  
Touch-Tone Enable: Your system is connected to rotary lines but you  
want to call an answering machine at 555-3454 to retrieve messages.  
Since the machine requires touch tones, enter 5 5 5 3 4 5 4  
&. All digits pressed during the rest of the call are sent as touch tones.  
On/Off Centrex Feature Button: To include both the activation and  
deactivation codes for a Centrex feature on the same button, press!  
to include a stop between the two codes. For instance, if the code to  
activate a Centrex feature is *30 and the code to deactivate the feature is  
*31, store * 3 0! * 3 1 on the Auto Dial button.  
The first time you press the Auto Dial button, only the number before the  
stop is dialed (to activate the feature). When you press the button again,  
the rest of the stored number is dialed (to deactivate the feature).  
Number Outside a PBX or Centrex System: To store a number that dials  
out of a PBX or Centrex system, include a dial-out code in the Speed Dial  
number. This entry, to dial the number 201 555-4321, includes a dial-out  
code, a 1.5-second pause, and a toll call prefix of 1 for direct dialing (which  
may not be required for your dialing area): 9 h 1 2 0 1 5 5 5  
4 3 2 1.

Feature Reference  
Star Code Dial Delay (#410)  
Description  
Central Offices of some phone companies support the use of star codes before  
the dialed phone number to obtain special services; for example, in some areas,  
you can dial *67 to prevent Caller ID information from being sent to the called  
party. (Rotary phones use 11 in place of the *.) Star Code Dial Delay (#410) is  
designed to help prevent misdialing when star codes are used. For information  
about the star codes that your Central Office supports, contact your local phone  
company.  
Restriction Resetting  
If Star Code Dial Delay is Not Active, the system uses the normal processing of  
restricted numbers: it checks, digit by digit, to see whether the number is  
restricted. If the first digit dialed is a * and is not restricted, the call goes through  
without further checking, since it can no longer match any number on the list.  
If Star Code Dial Delay is Active, the system permits star codes that meet the  
Bellcore® standard:  
2-digit codes, where the first digit is 0, 1, or 4–9 and the second digit is 0–9  
(for example *67, *70)  
3-digit codes, where the first digit is 2 or 3, the second digit is 0–9, and the  
third digit is 0–9 (for example *210)  
Therefore, when Star Code Dial Delay is Active, the system resets dialing  
restrictions after leading star codes. The system checks the first two digits dialed.  
If the first digit is a * or the first two digits are 11, the system then checks whether  
the following two or three digits are a star code. The digits that follow the star code  
are then compared again to the restrictions. More than one star code can be  
dialed at the beginning of a dialing sequence; the system’s number restrictions will  
still work properly, with restriction-checking resetting as often as necessary. For  
example, *67*705552539 could be dialed to block Caller ID information and to  
turn off Call Waiting; the system would still check to see whether the 555-2539  
number is restricted.  
Second Dial Tone  
After a star code is dialed, some Central Offices respond by providing a second  
dial tone as a prompt for the caller to enter more digits. Usually the second dial  
tone is provided immediately, but if the tone is delayed, the caller should wait for  
the dial tone before continuing to dial. The system may not recognize the numbers  
dialed before the second dial tone, which may cause the call to be misrouted.  
You can use the Star Code Dial Delay setting to force a delay in Auto Dialed calls  
after the star code, so that the system waits to dial the rest of the digits until the  
second dial tone begins. You can program an automatic pause of 0 to 5 seconds  
after each star code that is autodialed, whether from a touch-tone or a rotary  
phone.

Star Code Dial Delay (#410)  
Related Features  
You can include star codes in Allowed Phone Number Lists and  
Disallowed Phone Number Lists.  
Star Code Dial Delay settings apply to Auto Dialing, Last Number Redial,  
Personal Speed Dial Numbers, Save Number Redial, and System  
Speed Dial Numbers.  
If Dial Mode (#201) is set to Rotary, star codes are entered by dialing 11  
instead of *. If you have users at extensions with Outgoing Call  
Restriction (#401) set to Local Only who are calling out on lines with the  
Dial Mode (#201) set to Rotary, you should add “11” to an Allowed Phone  
Numbers List (#407) and assign the list to these extensions. Otherwise,  
when the users at the restricted extensions dial 1 to begin a star code, the  
system interprets this as an attempt to place a long-distance call, the call is  
blocked, and the user hears the reorder tone.  
System Speed Dial Numbers can begin with a star code; the system  
automatically inserts a delay based on the Star Code Dial Delay (#410)  
setting. To program, enter a Pause followed by the star code and the phone  
number. For example, press h*675551001.  
A Marked System Speed Dial Number can also begin with a star code. To  
enter it, press * followed by the star code and the phone number. For  
example, press **675551001.  
Considerations  
The Star Code Dial Delay is not inserted in manually dialed numbers.  
If your Central Office provides the second dial tone immediately, you do not  
need the delay provided by Star Code Dial Delay. In this case, choose the  
0 setting to enable restriction checking but avoid the delay.

Transfer Return Extension (#306)  
Transfer Return Extension (#306)  
Description  
By default, transferred calls return to the originating extension if they are not  
answered. This System Programming procedure can be used to identify a  
different return extension for the extension that transfers a call.  
Related Features  
You can use Transfer Return Rings (#105) to define the number of times  
all system extensions should ring with transferred calls before they return  
to their transfer return extensions.  
The transfer return extension for any extensions associated with auto  
attendant or voice messaging system hardware should be extension 10 (or  
another extension with a person who can assist the caller). AA Extensions  
(#607) is used to identify the extensions associated with auto attendant  
hardware and Hunt Group Extensions (#505) is used to identify the  
extensions associated with voice messaging system hardware.  
If an extension has VMS Cover active, unanswered calls to that extension  
are routed to the voice messaging system rather than to the transfer return  
extension.  
For transferred calls that are sent to a covering extension with Call  
Coverage: if the covering extension does not answer within the specified  
number of Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320), the call rings the  
specified number of Transfer Return Rings (#105) before it transfer  
returns. If the covering extension has Do Not Disturb active, the call rings  
one more time after the specified number of Call Coverage Rings (#116)  
or (#320) before it transfer returns.  
Considerations  
An unanswered transferred call returns to the transfer return extension  
identified for the extension transferring the call, not the extension receiving  
the call.  
Do not designate an extension associated with auto attendant or voice  
messaging system hardware as the transfer return extension for any user  
extension.  
Transfer return calls do not receive call coverage or voice mail coverage.

Transfer Return Rings (#105)  
Transfer Return Rings (#105)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure, which applies to all system extensions,  
defines the number of times a transferred call rings before it goes to the transfer  
return extension.  
Related Features  
By default, transferred calls return to the originating extension if they are  
not answered. You can use Transfer Return Extension (#306) to specify a  
different return extension for the extension that transfers a call.  
If you program Hunt Group Extensions (#505), make sure this setting is  
four or more rings. This setting allows the call to continue hunting to other  
group extensions if it is not answered by the first group extension where it  
rings.  
If an extension has VMS Cover active, unanswered calls to that extension  
are routed to the voice messaging system rather than to the transfer return  
extension.  
For transferred calls that are sent to a covering extension with Call  
Coverage: if the covering extension does not answer within the specified  
number of Call Coverage Rings (#116) or (#320), the call rings the  
specified number of Transfer Return Rings (#105) before it transfer  
returns. If the covering extension has Do Not Disturb active, the call rings  
one more time after the specified number of Call Coverage Rings (#116)  
or (#320) before it transfer returns.  
Considerations  
If you have a fax machine or an answering machine connected to the  
system, set Transfer Return Rings to a number greater than the number of  
rings at which these devices answer. Doing so prevents a call transferred  
to a fax or answering machine from returning before it is answered.  
The system does not start counting the number of rings for a transferred  
call (to determine when it goes to the transfer return extension if it is not  
answered) until the transfer originator hangs up.

Transferring Calls  
Transferring Calls  
Description  
This section explains how to transfer calls using the & button on a system  
phone or the switchhook on a standard phone. Transferring a call lets users  
“pass” a call from one extension to another. Users can transfer both outside calls  
and intercom calls to other extensions.  
Related Features  
To transfer calls to an extension with a single touch, you can program the  
extension number on an Auto Dial button—see Auto Dialing.  
To transfer calls to an extension for which you have a Manual Signaling  
button, press & before pressing the Manual Signaling button.  
While a call is being transferred, the caller hears ringing if Ring on  
Transfer (#119) is Active. If it is Not Active and Music-on-Hold (#602) is  
Active and an audio source is connected to the system, the caller hears  
music-on-hold while the call is being transferred to the destination  
extension. If Music-on-Hold is Not Active and Ring on Transfer (#119) is  
Not Active, the caller hears silence.  
The system is factory-set to return a transferred call, after it rings four times  
at the destination extension, to the extension that transferred it. You can  
use Transfer Return Rings (#105) to change the number of rings for all  
system extensions. You can use Transfer Return Extension (#306) to  
program a different extension to which unanswered calls from a particular  
extension should return.  
If users transfer a call, Caller ID information (if it is available) is passed to  
the destination extension.  
If you have a voice messaging system, you can use Voice Mailbox  
Transfer to transfer a caller directly to a subscriber’s voice mailbox.  
An extension programmed with Call Waiting (#316) cannot transfer either  
of two active calls.  
This feature cannot be used with Record-a-Call (F24), Call Screening  
(F25) and Voice Interrupt on Busy (#312).  
Considerations  
When you press &, the call is put on hold and its associated green  
light winks.  
A transferred call appears on the destination extension’s intercom button  
unless the destination extension has a line button for the line on which the  
call was received.  
5-275  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
Feature Reference  
When a call you transferred is answered, if you began the call on an  
individual line, the red light goes on next to the line button goes on; if you  
began the call on a line in a pool, the call no longer appears on your phone.  
If you transfer a call to an extension for which you have an Auto Dial button  
and the call is unanswered, the green light next to the Auto Dial button  
flutters when the call returns to your extension.  
Calls can be transferred to Calling Groups and Hunt Groups. Hunt Group  
calls do not Transfer Return if the call is not answered and if Transfer  
Return Rings (#105) is set to 4 or more rings.  
When you transfer a call from a display phone, the number to which you  
are transferring the call briefly appears on the display. If a transferred call is  
unanswered, the number of the extension that is returning the transferred  
call also appears on display phones.  
If you are using the system behind a PBX or Centrex system, the PBX or  
Centrex system may include a call transfer feature that lets you transfer a  
call to another Centrex extension, so that the line on which the call came in  
is free to place and receive other calls. However, to use Centrex transfer,  
you must be able to dial the extension directly using the Centrex extension  
number; if a Centrex line is shared by several extensions, you cannot use  
Centrex transfer to direct the call to a specific extension. For more  
information about such features, see the documentation for your PBX or  
Centrex system. (When your Centrex or PBX documentation tells you to  
use a switchhook flash, use the system Recall feature instead.)  
On a system phone, a transferred call rings with an intercom ring (ring  
BEEP) until the originator hangs up, then it changes to a transfer ring (ring  
BEEP BEEP). On a standard phone, a transferred call rings with an  
intercom ring (ring ring) until the originator hangs up, then it changes to a  
transfer ring (ring ring ring).  
How to Transfer a Call  
System Phone  
To pass a call to another extension:  
1. While active on the call, press &.  
The call is put on hold and you hear intercom dial tone. The green  
light next to the line or pool button winks.  
2. Dial the extension number (or 7 7 and a Hunt Group number or  
7 and a Calling Group number) to which you want the call  
transferred.  
3. When someone answers, announce the call, then hang up.  
If no one answers or the call is refused, press the line or pool button  
next to the winking green light to reconnect to the caller.

Transferring Calls  
If you do not wish to announce the call, hang up as soon as you hear  
ringing (after Step 2 above). If no one answers, the call rings back at your  
extension (unless a different transfer return extension is programmed for  
your extension)—lift the handset and you are reconnected to the caller.  
To make a voice-signaled transfer to a system phone, in Step 2 of the  
procedure on the previous page, press * plus the two-digit extension  
number. Then listen for one of the following responses:  
— If you hear one beep, you have reached an idle system phone. You  
can speak after the beep.  
Your voice is heard through the other extension’s speaker. If no one  
answers or the call is refused, press the line or pool button next to  
the winking green light to reconnect to the caller. If the call is  
accepted, hang up.  
— If you hear two beeps, you have reached a busy system phone with  
Voice Interrupt On Busy Assigned. You can speak after the beeps.  
Your voice is heard through the recipient’s handset or speaker. Be  
aware that the third party to whom the recipient is speaking probably  
also will hear the two beeps and the faint sound of your voice. Be  
brief and discreet in your interruption. If the recipient has a Voice  
Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button, wait for a response. If the call is  
accepted, hang up to complete the transfer. The call rings at the  
recipient’s extension. If the call is refused, press the line or pool  
button next to the winking green light to reconnect to the caller.  
— If you hear ringing, you have reached a standard phone, an idle  
MLC-6 or TransTalk 9000-series phone, or a busy system phone  
with Voice Interrupt On Busy Not Assigned.  
When someone answers, announce the call, then hang up. If no one  
answers or the call is refused, press the line or pool button next to  
the winking green light to reconnect to the caller.  
To transfer a call with one button touch:  
While on a call, press the Auto Dial button programmed for the extension,  
or the Hunt Group or Calling Group button for the group, to which you want  
to transfer the call. (There is no need to press & or n; this takes  
the place of Steps 1 and 2 in the procedure on the previous page.)  
For an extension that has a system phone, you can program * plus the  
extension number on the Auto Dial button, so you can announce the calls  
when you transfer them.

Unique Line Ringing (#209)—Release 3.0 or Later  
Unique Line Ringing (#209)—Release 3.0 or Later  
Description  
This feature applies only to MLS, PARTNER, and TransTalk phones.  
This feature allows a ringing pattern (maximum of eight) to be assigned on a per  
line basis for users to differentiate, by sound, which line is ringing. Once a ring  
pattern is assigned to a line, incoming calls on that line ring with the assigned ring  
pattern. Incoming calls that are transferred to another station ring with the  
assigned ring pattern followed by two “transfer beeps.” Transfer returned calls  
also ring with the two “transfer beeps”. Standard phones will ring with pattern 1  
only.  
Considerations  
You can program standard phones for any ring pattern, but they will ring  
with Pattern 1 only.  
You must program MLC 6 phones with Pattern 1. If they are programmed  
with another pattern, they will not ring.  
Since only one audible alert can be heard at a station at one time, the  
ringing pattern present at that station that has multiple lines alerting is for  
the line that rang first. Once the call is answered, the station will begin  
ringing using the pattern associated with the next alerting line for that  
station.  
Incoming calls that are ringing at a pool button will ring with the pattern  
assigned to the line. Lines within a pool may be assigned individual ring  
patterns.

VMS Cover (F15)  
Description  
This feature applies only if you have a voice messaging system. It is  
available only on system phones.  
This feature lets system phone users press a programmed button to turn VMS  
Cover on and off, routing unanswered intercom and transferred calls for their  
extension to the Call Answer Service of the voice messaging system after the  
specified number of rings (factory setting is three rings).  
Related Features  
If Automatic VMS Cover (#310) is Assigned to an extension, that  
extension normally is covered by the voice messaging system. For greater  
flexibility, the user can use this feature to program a VMS Cover button to  
turn coverage on and off as needed. Once a VMS Cover button is  
programmed, the user must use the button to turn VMS Cover on and off  
even though Automatic VMS Cover (#310) is Assigned.  
VMS Cover also applies to outside calls on lines assigned ownership with  
Line Coverage Extension (#208).  
Use VMS Cover Rings (#117) or (#321) to change the number of times  
intercom and transferred calls or outside calls on lines assigned ownership  
ring at extensions before they are sent to the voice messaging system.  
A user can turn on VMS Cover while a call is ringing to send that call  
immediately to his or her voice mailbox. See Send All Calls.  
Users with VMS Cover already turned on can activate Do Not Disturb to  
Send All Calls immediately to their voice mailbox.  
If an extension has VMS Cover and Call Coverage active, calls ring at the  
covering extension for the specified number of Call Coverage Rings  
(#116) or (#320). If the covering extension does not answer, the call is  
routed to the voice mailbox of the extension that activated Call Coverage  
after the specified number of VMS cover rings.  
If an extension has VMS Cover and Call Forwarding active, calls ring at  
the call forwarding destination extension; they are not covered by the voice  
messaging system.  
Considerations  
This feature must be programmed on a button with lights.  
This feature does not apply to coverage calls, forwarded calls, group calls,  
parked calls, transfer-return calls, Voice Interrupt on Busy calls, or  
voice-signaled calls.

You can set the system for any number of rings, 0-6. Assigning more rings gives  
the receptionist an opportunity to answer calls before they go to the Automated  
Attendant Service.  
For ACS Release 3.0, VMS Hunt Delay is programmable on a per line basis. In  
addition, this procedure is programmable so that calls can be handled one way  
during the day and a different way when the system is in Night Service.  
Related Features  
You must use Group Call Distribution (#206) to assign lines to Hunt  
Group 7.  
You must use Hunt Group Extensions (#505) to assign the extensions  
associated with the voice messaging system hardware to Hunt Group 7.  
Considerations  
Users who do not subscribe to ICLID services and want immediate call  
handling should set this option to 0 rings.  
Users who do subscribe to ICLID services and want immediate call  
handling should set this option to at least 2 rings. This allows the ICLID  
information to be detected before the call is sent to the Automated  
Attendant.

Voice Interrupt On Busy (#312)  
Description  
This feature is available only on system phones.  
This System Programming procedure identifies extensions that can receive voice  
interrupt on busy calls. A voice interrupt on busy call is a special intercom call that  
lets a user (the originator) interrupt and speak to another user (the recipient) who  
is busy on an intercom or outside call with one other party.When voice interrupt on  
busy is initiated, the recipient hears two beeps before hearing the originator’s  
voice. The originator and the recipient should be aware that the third party to  
whom the recipient is speaking probably will hear both the beeps and the faint  
sound of the originator’s voice. This feature typically is used by the receptionist to  
alert the boss to an important incoming call or event when the boss is already on a  
call.  
Related Features  
Making Calls and Transferring Calls provide more instructions for making  
and transferring voice interrupt on busy calls.  
The recipient can use a Voice Interrupt on Busy Talk-Back button to  
respond to the originator of the voice interrupt on busy call. The recipient’s  
response will not be heard by the third party.  
Users cannot receive voice interrupt on busy calls if:  
Do Not Disturb is active at their extension.  
— They are part of a joined call (Joining Calls).  
— They are part of a Conference Call.  
— They are recording a call using Record-a-Call (F24).  
— They are screening a call using Call Screening (F25).  
Considerations  
The voice interrupt on busy tone (two beeps) is unique to distinguish it from  
a voice-signaled intercom call tone (one beep).  
If a voice interrupt on busy call is made to an idle extension, the originator  
and the recipient hear a voice-signaled intercom call tone (one beep)  
instead.  
If you receive a voice interrupt on busy call and press h, the third party  
is put on hold and the originator hears two beeps that indicate you have  
ended the voice interrupt on busy call. At this point:  
To talk to the originator, if the green light next to the i button is  
flashing, press i. (You cannot use the Voice Interrupt On  
Busy Talk-Back button once a voice interrupt on busy call has  
ended.)

To initiate a voice interrupt on busy call:  
1. From a system phone, press i.  
2. Press * plus a two-digit extension number (or use an Auto Dial button).  
3. Listen for one of the following responses:  
If you hear one beep, you have reached an idle system phone. You  
can speak after the beep.  
Your voice is heard through the other extension’s speaker. If the  
recipient is present, he or she can reply.  
If you hear two beeps, you have reached a busy system phone with  
Voice Interrupt On Busy Assigned. You can speak after the beeps.  
Be aware that the third party to whom the recipient is speaking  
probably also will hear the two beeps and the faint sound of your  
voice.  
If the recipient has a Voice Interrupt On Busy Talk-Back button, wait  
for a response. If you hear a second set of beeps, the recipient has  
ended the voice interrupt on busy call. In either case, hang up to end  
your part of the voice interrupt on busy call.

Wake Up Service Button (#115)  
Wake Up Service Button (#115)  
Description  
This System Programming procedure identifies a button on the system phone at  
extension 10 to be used for scheduling wake up (or reminder) calls for system  
extensions. When a wake up call is scheduled, the system makes an intercom call  
to the target extension at the scheduled time. If the first call is not answered or the  
called extension is busy, the system makes a second attempt five minutes later.  
Related Features  
Wake up time is based on System Time (#103).  
If users answer a wake up call, they hear Music-on-Hold (#602) if it is  
Active. If Music-on-Hold is Not Active, users hear silence.  
Wake up calls ring at target extensions even if Do Not Disturb is active at  
the extension.  
Wake up calls to a target extension that has Call Forwarding active ring at  
the extension—the calls are not forwarded  
Wake up calls that are not answered do not go to voice mail coverage,  
even if VMS Cover is active at the target extension.  
Considerations  
A Wake Up Service button must be programmed on the system display  
phone at extension 10.  
Wake Up Service must be programmed on a button with lights. This feature

Troubleshooting  
If you call, have the following information ready so that the representative can  
better help you:  
The kind of system you have (for example, PARTNER Advanced  
Communications System Release 1.0). To determine the release  
number, press f 5 9 at any display phone.  
The number of lines and extensions in your system  
The type of phone (system or standard) and the model number, if  
applicable. System phone model numbers are located either on the  
upper right-hand corner of the phone or on the dialpad overlay.  
If you followed a troubleshooting procedure and need more help, tell  
the representative what you did.  
Power Failure Operation  
When power to the system is cut off, the first two lines on the PARTNER  
Advanced Communications System module or the 308EC module automatically  
connect to the first two extensions on the module, and the first line on each 206  
module connects to its first extension.  
This enables you to make and answer calls during a power outage, provided you  
have a standard phone connected to any of these extensions. (During a power  
failure, standard phones can only make and receive calls—other system features  
are not available.)  
The system can stay programmed for a minimum of 45 days and a maximum of  
six months after it stops receiving power, depending on the freshness of the  
batteries. When the batteries are drained, all of the system’s programmed settings  
return to the factory settings. It is recommended that you install fresh batteries  
every year. See ‘‘Battery Replacement’’ on page 6-2 for more information.  
Battery Replacement  
!
CAUTION:  
Do not turn off the power or remove the processor module before  
replacing the batteries! If you do, all settings for system and  
telephone programming will revert to the default settings. If you have  
a Backup/Restore PC Card, it is highly recommended that you do a  
backup before changing the batteries.

Clearing a Backup-Failure Alarm  
NOTE:  
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card,  
which allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and  
perform backup and restore functions. The PARTNER Remote  
Access PC Card is a PCMCIA card that can also be used to upgrade  
previous versions of PARTNER ACS to Release 3.0.  
The PARTNER ACS processor module uses two user-replaceable AAA alkaline  
batteries. These batteries provide enough power to retain the system  
programming settings during a power failure for 45 days to six months, depending  
on the freshness of the batteries. When battery power is getting low, the system  
displays a ChgBat W/PowerOn or ReplaceSysBat W/Power Onmessage  
on the top line of display phones at extensions 10 and 11 in place of the default  
day/date/time message. Users at these extensions should be instructed to notify  
you when they see this message. You should replace the batteries within 45 days  
of seeing the message.  
NOTE:  
The message may flicker on and off as the batteries approach the low-power  
threshold.  
It is recommended that you change the batteries in the processor module every  
year, even if the system has not yet displayed the ReplaceSysBat W/Power On  
message. Choose good quality alkaline batteries. (See the PARTNER  
ADVANCED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM INSTALLATION guide for information  
on changing batteries.)  
Clearing a Backup-Failure Alarm  
If you use Backup Programming—Automatic (#123) and the automatic backup  
fails, a Backup-Failure Alarm message appears (instead of the default  
day/date/time message) on the top line of the telephone display at idle extensions  
10 and 11.  
After correcting the problem that caused the failure, you can clear the  
Backup-Failure Alarm using the following procedure. (See Table 2-3 on page 2-22  
for the location of special programming buttons such as s and e  
on system phones.)

You hear nothing at all.  
You hear a dial tone, but the dial tone continues as you try to dial.  
You hear a dial tone, and the dial tone cuts off when you try to dial.  
You hear a reorder or busy signal if you try to dial a pool access code (880,  
881, 882, or 883) at intercom dial tone.  
You notice that the red light next to a pool button is on steady most or all of  
the time, indicating that the pool is busy.  
Possible Cause 1: Forced Account Code Entry is assigned to the extension.  
What to do: Find out if Forced Account Code Entry (#307) is assigned to the  
extension. If it is, enter a valid account code.  
If you can make a call, the problem is solved.  
If Forced Account Code Entry is not assigned, go to Possible Cause 2.  
Possible Cause 2: Dial Mode is set incorrectly.  
What to do: Find out if you have touch-tone or rotary service. Then set the Dial  
Mode (#201) to Touch-Tone or Rotary as appropriate for all lines in the pool.  
If you can make a call, the problem is solved.  
If the Dial Mode is set correctly, go to Possible Cause 3.  
Possible Cause 3: Someone changed the Pool Access Restriction setting for the  
extension.  
What to do: If calls could be made without trouble before, find out if someone  
changed the Pool Access Restriction (#315) for the extension.  
If someone changed the Pool Access Restriction setting, verify that the  
change was an appropriate one.

Other Problems with Phones  
If an appropriate number of lines are not assigned, you may need to add  
more lines.  
If an appropriate number of lines are assigned, go to Possible Cause 6.  
Possible Cause 6: One or more local phone company lines in the pool are faulty.  
What to do: At extension 10, try to access each individual line assigned to the  
pool.  
If the lines accessed from individual line buttons on extension 10 are still  
faulty, refer to Possible Cause 7 in “Other Problems with Phones: Trouble  
Making Outside Calls.”  
If the problem remains, call the hotline (see page 6-1).  
Calls Are Answered Automatically  
A call rings once, then disappears as if it were answered.  
Possible Cause 1: Automatic System Answer or Direct Extension Dial is turned  
on.  
What to do: Check to see if Automatic System Answer or Direct Extension Dial is  
turned on.  
If Automatic System Answer or Direct Extension Dial is turned on, turn it off  
by pressing the programmed button at extension 10.  
If Automatic System Answer or Direct Extension Dial is not turned on, go to  
Possible Cause 2.  
Possible Cause 2: An auxiliary device answers when it should not (this could  
occur with a fax machine, voice messaging system, answering machine, or  
modem).  
What to do: Be sure the device is set to answer correctly. If the device answers  
before it should, adjust it to answer on a later ring. If the device should not answer  
calls at all, turn off its auto-answer feature. Refer to the device’s user manual.  
For every auxiliary device connected to your system, either set the device  
itself to answer on a later ring (when the Line Ringing for the device’s  
extension is set to Immediate Ring) or set the extension’s Line Ringing to  
Delayed Ring. For a voice messaging system, check all of the settings  
associated with it. Refer to the documentation package with your voice mail  
system for complete details on installing, programming, and using your  
system. Refer to the documentation with your voice messaging system for  
complete details. If the auxiliary device no longer answers calls  
automatically, the problem is solved.  
If the problem remains, call the hotline (see page 6-1).

Troubleshooting  
Trouble Hearing Called Party Answer  
Possible Cause 1: If you are using a speakerphone, there may be environmental  
factors that affect the performance of the speaker or microphone (for example, too  
much background noise).  
What to do: See ‘‘Speakerphone Performance Tips’’ on page 3-8 for suggestions on  
the proper use of the speakerphone. If the problem is not solved, go to Possible  
Cause 2.  
Possible Cause 2: If the system is set for touch-tone dialing, you may have a faulty  
phone or cord. See ‘‘System Phone Does Not Work’’ on page 6-5. If the system is  
set for rotary dialing, the Rotary Dialing Timeout interval is too long.  
What to do: Reset the interval using Rotary Dialing Timeout (#108).  
If you can hear the called party answer, the problem is solved.  
If the problem is not solved, call the hotline (see page 6-1).  
Automatically Dialed Calls Beginning with  
Star Codes Are Misrouted  
Possible Cause: The Star Code Dial Delay setting is not inserting a long enough  
pause, allowing a portion of the phone number to be dialed before the second dial  
tone from the Central Office is established.  
What to do: Use Star Code Dial Delay (#410) to increase the Star Code Dial  
Delay setting.  
Using the Recall Feature Has No Effect  
Possible Cause: Recall Timer Duration setting is too short.  
What to do: Increase the Recall Timer Duration (#107) by 100 milliseconds.  
If the Recall feature works, the problem is solved.  
If the Recall feature still does not work, continue increasing the Recall  
Timer Duration by increments of 100 milliseconds until the problem is  
solved.  
Using the Recall Feature Disconnects Call  
This problem applies when the system is installed behind a PBX or Centrex  
system or with the local phone company’s “Call Waiting” feature.  
Possible Cause: Recall Timer Duration setting is too long.  
What to do: Decrease the Recall Timer Duration (#107) by 100 milliseconds.

Problems with Combination Extensions  
If the Recall feature works properly, the problem is solved.  
If the Recall feature still disconnects calls, continue decreasing the Recall  
Timer Duration by increments of 100 milliseconds until the problem is  
solved.  
Problems with Combination Extensions  
Phone Does Not Work Properly  
Possible Cause 1: Ringer equivalents are too high for the extension.  
What to do: Be sure the total of the two devices’ Ringer Equivalence Numbers  
(REN) does not exceed 2.0. If it does, unplug one of the devices.  
If the phone works properly, the problem is the REN was too high.  
If the phone still does not work properly, go to Possible Cause 2.  
Possible Cause 2: Auxiliary device (such as a fax, answering machine, or modem)  
is faulty.  
What to do: Remove the auxiliary device from the extension. Then plug in an  
auxiliary device that you know works properly.  
If the phone works properly, the problem is the auxiliary device. Replace  
the auxiliary device.  
If the phone still does not work properly, go to Possible Cause 3.  
Possible Cause 3: Phone is plugged into the wrong jack of the system phone or  
the bridging adapter.  
What to do: Plug the phone into the correct jack—see the PARTNER Advanced  
Communications System Installation guide for instructions.  
If the phone works properly, the problem is solved.  
If the problem remains, go to Possible Cause 4.  
Possible Cause 4: Wrong bridging adapter is used in combination extension.  
What to do: First, unplug the bridging adapter from the wall jack. Then, unplug the  
phone from the adapter and plug the phone directly into the wall jack.  
If the phone works, there is a problem with the bridging adapter. Replace  
the bridging adapter (use only a Lucent Technologies 267F2 bridging  
adapter). If the problem persists, call the hotline (see page 6-1).  
If the phone still does not work properly, call the hotline (see page 6-1).

Troubleshooting  
Problems with Standard Devices  
Standard Device Does Not Answer  
Possible Cause: A standard device (such as a fax machine or answering machine)  
does not answer intercom calls or transferred calls because it does not recognize  
the distinctive ringing pattern used by the system.  
What to do: Change the extension’s setting for Distinctive Ring (#308) to Not  
Active, so the extension uses the same ringing for intercom and transferred calls  
as it does for outside calls.  
If the device works properly, the problem is solved.  
If the problem remains, call the hotline (see page 6-1). Standard Device  
Does Not Dial Out Properly  
Possible Cause: A standard device with autodialing (such as a modem) does not  
recognize the intercom dial tone generated by the system.  
What to do: Change the setting for Intercom Dial Tone (#309) for the extension to  
Machine, so the system generates outside line dial tone for the extension.  
If the device works properly, the problem is solved.  
If the problem remains, call the hotline (see page 6-1).  
Call Records Wrap on SMDR Printout  
Possible Cause: SMDR Talk Time (#611) is set to Active and SMDR Output  
Format (#610) is set to 24 digits, causing the combined length of the fields for a  
call record to be greater than the 80 characters supported by your printer.  
What to do: Reduce the font size or increase the characters-per-inch setting for  
the printer.  
If the call records print without wrapping to the next line, the problem is  
solved.  
If the problem remains, change the output format back to 15 digits.

Problems with System Restore  
Display Shows “Incompatible Versions” in  
System Programming Mode  
Possible Cause: You attempted to restore a file that was created with an  
incompatible software release.  
What to do: Try Restore Programming (#125) again using a backup file that was  
created with the current software release.  
NOTE:  
ACS Release 3.0 includes a PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, which  
allows the user to administer the system remotely1 and perform backup and  
restore functions. The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a PCMCIA  
card that can also be used to upgrade previous versions of PARTNER ACS  
to Release 3.0.  
Display Shows “Restore Failed – Try Again” for  
Two Seconds in System Programming Mode  
NOTE:  
This display indicates that all system and telephone programming has  
reverted to the default settings.  
Possible Cause 1: The Backup/Restore PC Card was removed while the restore  
was in progress.  
What to do: Check to see whether the PC Card was removed. If it was not, go to  
Possible Cause 2. If it was, power down the system, reinsert the Backup/Restore  
PC Card, reapply power to the system, and restart the Restore Programming  
(#125) procedure.  
Possible Cause 2: The backup file is corrupted.  
What to do: Retry the Restore Programming (#125) procedure. If you get the  
same result, try again using a different backup file from the same Backup/Restore  
PC Card or a file from a different Backup/Restore PC Card. Remember to power  
down the system before you insert or remove Backup/Restore PC Cards.

Troubleshooting  
System Programming Settings  
Reverted to Default Settings  
Possible Cause: You ran the Restore Programming (#125) procedure, but the  
restore failed.  
What to do: See Possible Causes 1 and 2 under “Display Shows ‘Restore  
Failed-Try Again’ for Two Seconds in System Programming Mode."  
Display Shows “Restore Complete,”  
but All Calls Were Disconnected  
Possible Cause: You just ran the Restore Programming (#125) procedure.  
What to do: Nothing. This is normal behavior after a restore; the system resets  
itself. In the future, warn users before beginning the restore, or perform the restore  
during nonbusiness hours.  
System Problems  
Call Rings Continuously; When Answered,  
No One at Other End  
Possible Cause: Automatic System Answer or Direct Extension Dial is used on a  
system that does not support far end disconnect.  
What to do: Call your local phone company and find out whether they support far  
end disconnect. If the local phone company does not support far end disconnect,  
you should not set the Automatic System Answer Mode (#121) to either Hold or  
Ring and you should not use the Direct Extension Dial feature. If the local phone  
company supports far end disconnect but the problem still occurs, call the hotline  
Calls on Hold Are Disconnected  
Possible Cause: Hold Disconnect Time setting is too short.  
What to do: Change Hold Disconnect Time (#203) to a longer interval.  
If calls on hold no longer disconnect, the problem is solved.  
If calls on hold still get disconnected, or the Hold Disconnect Time was  
already set to the longest interval, call the hotline (see page 6-1).

System Problems  
An ASA/DXD Missing Card Error Message Appears  
Possible Cause: You are attempting to record an Automatic System Answer  
message (I891) or a Direct Extension Dial (DXD) message (I892) and an  
ASA/DXD PC card is not installed in the processor module.  
What to do: To clear the message, at extension 10, program an Automatic  
System Answer (#111) button if you used I891 to attempt to record the greeting  
or a Direct Extension Dial (#112) button if you used I892 to attempt to record the  
greeting. Press the programmed button to turn the feature on then press the  
programmed button to turn it off again. After you turn the feature off, the error  
message should be cleared and you can remove the button assignment using  
(#111) or (#112).  
Calls on Automatic System Answer Lines Are  
Disconnected  
Possible Cause: Automatic System Answer Mode is set to Disconnect.  
What to do: Change Automatic System Answer Mode (#121) from Disconnect  
to either Hold or Ring.  
If calls on Automatic System Answer lines no longer disconnect, the  
problem is solved.  
If calls on Automatic System Answer lines still get disconnected, or the  
Automatic System Answer Mode already was set to Hold or Ring, call the  
Call on Hold Hangs Up,  
but Line Does Not Disconnect  
Possible Cause 1: Hold Disconnect Time setting is too long.  
What to do: Change Hold Disconnect Time (#203) to a shorter interval.  
If abandoned calls on hold are disconnected, the problem is solved.  
If abandoned calls on hold still do not disconnect, or if the Hold Disconnect  
Time was already set to the shortest interval, go to Possible Cause 2.  
Possible Cause 2: Local phone company does not send hold release signal.  
What to do: Call your local phone company and find out whether they send a hold  
release signal. If the local phone company does not send a hold release signal, or  
if they do but the problem still occurs, call the hotline (see page 6-1).

Troubleshooting  
All Calls Disconnected  
Possible Cause 1: You just ran the Restore Programming (#125) procedure.  
What to do: This is normal behavior after running Restore Programming (#125);  
the system resets itself. In the future, warn users before beginning the restore, or  
perform the restore during nonbusiness hours. If you did not run Restore  
Programming (#125), go to Possible Cause 2.  
Possible Cause 2: Power was interrupted to the control unit.  
What to do: Make sure the control unit’s power cord is plugged securely into the  
wall outlet. Also make sure the on/off switch is in the “on” position (“O”) if you have  
a 5-Slot carrier.

System Problems  
If any green LEDs on the modules are flashing, call the hotline  
Possible Cause 2: The power outlet is faulty.  
What to do: Test the outlet by plugging in an appliance, like a lamp or radio.  
If the appliance does not work, the outlet is faulty. If possible, plug the  
control unit into a different outlet. Then check the fuse box or call an  
electrician.  
If the appliance works, call the hotline (see page 6-1).  
Multiple Phones Dead: No Dial Tone or Lights  
Possible Cause 1: The LED on one system module is out.  
What to do: If the green LED on the front of a module is out, try reseating the  
module in the control unit.  
If the LED lights, the problem is corrected.  
If the problem remains, call the hotline (see page 6-1).  
Possible Cause 2: The green LEDs on several system modules are out.  
What to do: If the LEDs on the front of several system modules are out, try  
reseating the leftmost module of the ones with the lights out (see “Replacing  
System Modules” in the PARTNER Advanced Communications System  
Installation guide).  
If the LEDs light, the problem is corrected.  
If the problem remains, call the hotline (see page 6-1).  
Poor Transmission Quality on Modem  
Possible Cause: A high-speed modem is connected through an extension jack on  
the control unit to a standard Central Office telephone line; but the line quality is  
not sufficient to generate a clear signal when the modem transmits through the  
system interface.  
What to do: Either connect the modem directly to the network interface jack for a  
line, or contact your local telephone company for information about upgrading the  
line quality.  
If the device works properly, the problem is solved.  
If the problem remains, call the hotline (see page 6-1).

Troubleshooting  
Other Problems with System  
The following procedure resets the system. Use it when you have any problems  
that are not covered elsewhere in this chapter. The procedure disconnects all calls  
in progress, but does not erase any system settings, provided that the system  
batteries are installed and not low on power.  
Possible Cause: System needs a hardware reset.  
What to do: Unplug the control unit’s power cord from the wall. Wait 10 seconds,  
then plug it back in. If the problem remains, call the hotline (see page 6-1).

Maintenance, Repair,  
and Ordering Information  
Maintenance  
Your system is designed to provide trouble-free performance without any special  
maintenance procedures. To reduce the risk of accidental damage:  
Keep the system modules in an area free of dust, smoke, and moisture,  
and do not block the air vents by placing objects on top of the control unit.  
Do not place telephones near a heating duct, radiator, or other heat source,  
and do not drop or expose them to excessive shock or vibration.  
Unplug the telephone if its cord is damaged, if liquid is spilled into it, or if its  
housing becomes cracked or otherwise damaged.  
To clean your telephone, wipe the outside housing with a soft, dust-free  
cloth. If absolutely necessary, you may use a cloth slightly dampened with  
a mild soap and water solution. Dry quickly with a soft cloth.  
!
CAUTION:  
Your telephone contains sensitive electronic parts. Never submerge it in any  
kind of liquid, and never use detergents, alcohols, solvents, abrasive  
cleaners, or an excessive amount of water when cleaning the housing and  
faceplate. To do so could result in irreparable damage.  
Repair Information

Programming Mixed Telephone  
Types  
D
Overview  
This appendix provides information about programming from a PARTNER-34D  
phone to MLS-model phones and from an MLS-34D phone to PARTNER-model  
phones. In these situations, you should be aware that the button that you press at  
extension 10 or 11 (the programming extension) is likely to be in a different  
location than the button on the phone to which the programming applies (the  
target phone). If you are programming from a PARTNER-18D or MLS-18D phone,  
the button locations are the same.  
You can use the illustrations in this appendix to facilitate programming from one  
telephone type to the other. Figure D-1 shows the buttons on the PARTNER-34D  
Programming Overlay and the relative location of those buttons on each  
MLS-model phone. Figure D-2 shows the buttons on the MLS-34D Programming  
Overlay and the relative location of those buttons on each PARTNER-model  
phone. (The letters on the PARTNER-34D Overlay in Figure D-1 are printed on  
the Overlay. To help you program from an MLS-34D phone, you may want to write  
the letters shown on the MLS-34D Overlay in Figure D-2 on your Overlay.)  
If you want to program features on specific buttons at target phones, it is  
recommended that you:  
1. Look at the figure with the overlay that matches the phone at your  
programming extension.  
2. Find the location of the button in the picture of the target phone.  
3. Note the letter associated with that particular button.  
4. Find the letter in the picture of the Programming Overlay.  
5. Press that button on the programming extension.  
For example, if you are using a PARTNER-34D phone at extension 10 and you  
want to program Do Not Disturb on the top leftmost button of an MLS-18D phone:  
refer to Figure D-1; find the top, leftmost button on the MLS-18D phone; then  
press the button labeled M on the PARTNER-34D Programming Overlay.
