Release 3.0 Enhancements (August 1994)
— Inspection of Lines/Trunks displays only those lines and
trunks configured on system rather than all 80 facilities.
— Extensions and facilities in Maintenance Busy (both manual
and automatic) can be identified by the maintenance monitor.
■ User Features
— Security. The Remote Access feature allows people at
remote locations to enter the system by dialing the number of
a line or trunk designated for remote access. The system can
be programmed to require the remote user to dial a barrier
code (a type of password) after reaching the system. In
earlier versions, the systemwide barrier code length is fixed
at four digits. Release 3.0 allows a systemwide barrier code
length ranging from a minimum of four digits to a maximum of
11 digits, with a factory setting of seven digits. SMDR records
are enhanced to provide information for remote access calls.
If the remote access call is received on a facility providing
Caller ID information (see below), the SMDR report can help
trace the call.
— Caller ID. Caller information (telephone number) is furnished
to MLX display telephones by an 800 GS/LS-ID module
using the LS (loop-start) option. This allows customers to
screen calls before answering the telephone, as well as
providing calling party information for use with various
applications. This function is available only when the
customer subscribes to caller identification service from the
telephone company, if the telephone company supports that
service.
— Shared System Access (SSA). A telephone may have up to
27 Shared SA buttons to expand extension coverage.
— Authorization Codes. The Authorization Code feature
allows you to make calls using your calling privileges when
you are dialing from an extension other than your own. When
you enter your authorization code (ranging from 2 to 11
characters and unique across the system), the privileges and
restrictions assigned to your home extension override the
current restrictions at the host extension. This includes toll
restriction, outward restriction, Facility Restriction Level
(FRL), Allowed Lists, Disallowed Lists, Night Service
Exclusion List, and Dial Access to Pools. All other functions
on the telephone are those of the local telephone, not the
home extension.
Authorization codes can also be used for the purpose of call
accounting through the SMDR printout. The SMDR account
code field can hold either the authorization code extension
number or the authorization code itself.
— Direct Voice Mail. If your company has voice mail, this
feature allows you to dial a co-worker’s voice mailbox directly
without ringing that person’s extension. Direct Voice Mail is
especially useful for transferring calls when a co-worker is
not available.
