Release 4.0 Enhancements (March 1996)
■ Forwarding Delay Option
Each user can program a Forwarding Delay setting for the
Forward, Remote Call Forwarding, or Follow Me features. The
forwarding delay is the number of times that a call rings at the
forwarding extension before the call is sent to the receiver. The
delay period gives the original call recipient time to answer or to
screen calls by checking the displayed calling number (if
available). The delay can be set from 0 to 9 rings. The factory
setting for the forwarding delay is 0 rings (no delay).
■ Voice Announce on Queued Call Console
The system manager can enable the fifth Call button on a QCC
console (Hybrid/PBX mode only) to announce a call on another
user’s speakerphone (providing the destination telephone has a
voice announce-capable SA button available). A QCC cannot
receive voice-announced calls; they are received as ringing
calls. The factory-set status for the fifth Call button is voice
announce disabled.
■ Time-Based Option for
Overflow on Calling Group
Release 4.0 has added a
time
limit for calls in queue in addition
to the previous
number of calls
limit. If the Overflow Threshold
Time option is set to a valid number between 1 and 900
seconds, calls that remain in the calling group queue for the set
time are sent to the overflow receiver. If the overflow threshold
time is set to 0, overflow by time is turned off. The factory-set
time limit is 0 seconds (off).
■ Single-Line Telephone Enhancements
The following changes enhance the performance of single-line
telephones:
— Disable Transfer. Through centralized telephone
programming, the system manager can disable transfer by
removing all but one SA or ICOM button from the extension.
— No Transfer Return. When a handset bounces in its cradle,
the system interprets this as a switchhook flash and attempts
to transfer a call. When the transfer attempt period expires,
the user’s telephone rings. Release 4.0 eliminates this
unintended ringing by disconnecting the call in situations
where a switchhook flash is followed by an on-hook state and
a dial tone is present.
— Forward Disconnect. All ports on 008 OPT, 012, and 016
modules now send forward disconnect to all devices
connected to them when forward disconnect is received from
the central office. This enhancement prevents the
trunk/line from being kept active when one end disconnects
from the call. If an answering machine is connected to the
port, it does not record silence, busy tones, or other useless
messages. This operation is not programmable.
