Absent Message Capability Background Music (BGM) (for proprietary telephones only) Call Forwarding Call Pickup Deny Data Line Security Do Not Disturb (DND) Electronic Station Lockout Message Waiting (for proprietary telephones only) Pickup Dialing (for single line telephones only) Timed Reminder
Dial tone 3: Sent when performing Account Code Entry and sent when answering a Timed Reminder call.
Allows an extension user to select the desired dialing mode for each outside (CO) line regardless of the originating extension (rotary or tone). There are three dialing modes available. DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) Mode The dialing signal from an extension, either tone or rotary, is converted to tone dialing. DTMF signals are transmitted to the outside (CO) line. Pulse Dial (Rotary) Mode The dialing signal from an extension, either tone or rotary, is converted to rotary dialing. Rotary pulses are transmitted to the outside (CO) line. Call Blocking Mode Set this mode for outside (CO) lines that can receive both tone and rotary dialing, but are under contract with the Central Office for rotary dialing only. When dialing to a line using a touchtone telephone, only rotary dialing is sent to the Central Office.
Extension users can temporarily convert the pre-assigned rotary dialing mode to DTMF mode (Pulse to Tone Conversion). DTMF mode cannot be changed to rotary. Either DTMF or rotary dialing can be assigned for the DISA (Direct Inward System Access) outgoing line. With DISA, pulse to tone conversion is not possible. If an outside (CO) line can receive both DTMF and pulse signals and is contracted for DTMF with a Central Office, the DTMF mode should be selected for the line. If it is contracted for rotary mode, the Call Blocking mode should be selected for the line. If a line is assigned to the Pulse Dial mode, select an appropriate pulse speed, if necessary. After a held call is retrieved, the dial mode returns to the one originally programmed for the outside (CO) line.

If a wrong DISA security code is entered, three beeps will be heard. The call will be disconnected after three failed attempts.

Station Hunting

If a called extension is busy, Station Hunting redirects the incoming call to an idle extension in the extension group. Idle extensions are automatically searched according to programming. Two hunting types are available as follows. Circular hunting: The extensions are searched one time in numerical order until an idle one is found. If all extensions are busy, a busy tone will be heard. If the calling outside (CO) line is assigned to DIL and all hunting group extensions are busy, the call will be forwarded within the group until an extension becomes idle. Terminate hunting: The extensions are searched from the destination jack until the call reaches the highest jack number in the group. If all higher number jacks are busy, the search will end and a busy tone will be heard. If the calling outside (CO) line is assigned to DIL and all hunting group extensions are busy, the call will be forwarded within the group until an extension becomes idle. One hunting type can be selected for each extension group. To leave the hunting group temporarily, use the Log-Out function. To rejoin, use the Log-In feature.
