Disconnect Callers Who Don’t Dial: CallExtend can disconnect callers who do

not dial anything in response to the main greeting, instead of transferring them to the
receptionist. To do this, enter “1” (one) in FIELD 5 of the chart; to have these
callers go to the receptionist, enter “0” (zero).

Receptionist Extensions:

CallExtend will transfer calls to its Main Receptionist if the caller dials “0”, doesn’t dial
anything, or dials an illegal digit. If CallExtend is programmed for Full Supervision or
Busy-Only Supervision, busy / unanswered calls will also be transferred to the receptionist.
By default, CallExtend will send receptionist calls to extension “0.” To use a different
extension (or a phone number up to 16 digits long) as the receptionist, enter it as follows:

Dial:

Dial:

In addition, a Hunt-To Receptionist can be set up, for calls to go to when the main
receptionist is busy
can be up to 16 digits long. To enter it:

Dial:

Dial:

Notes: 1) To have callers who reach a busy extension go to a different receptionist than
callers who don’t dial anything, or to use department receptionists, see page 21 in the
User’s Manual. 2) To have callers on CallExtend’s Port 1 go to a different receptionist
than callers on Port 2, see page 19 in the User’s Manual.

CallExtend Quick Start Guide

CallExtend comes with default programming and voice messages that work for

many applications. This Quick Start Guide details the default operation and how to

change the most common features. For advanced installations, see the User’s Manual.

To change any of the settings in this Guide, connect a standard touch-tone telephone (an

analog 2500 set) to CallExtend’s “Admin” port and dial as shown for the desired setting.

Remote Programming:

By default, remote programming is disabled. To allow CallExtend to be programmed
remotely, set up a 5-digit password by dialing as follows on the Admin Phone:

Dial:

# 0 5

Dial:

Note: To enter remote programming mode once the password has been set up, call in to
CallExtend; during the Main Greeting, dial “
program CallExtend by dialing on the remote telephone, just as if you were dialing on the
Admin Phone (all settings except the password). If you pause for more than 30 seconds
without dialing, CallExtend will time out and exit from remote programming mode.

Legal Extensions:

By default, CallExtend will transfer callers to any extension they dial that starts with a
“1,” “2,” or “3” and is less than six digits long. So, 10-39 and 100-399 are legal
extensions, but 40-99 and 400-999 are not. To change the legal extensions: For each
digit your extensions start with, dial as follows:

Dial:

Dial:

Example: To legalize extensions 8000-8999, dial:

Notes: See page 23 of the User’s Manual to use variable-length extensions, to use
extensions longer than 9 digits, to have CallExtend dial extra digits before or after
extensions, or to disable direct dialing for extensions starting with a particular digit.

The following five system settings are all programmed into CallExtend at the same time,
with one command. For this reason, read through all five settings and fill the desired
values into the following chart first. If you don’t need to set a particular field, use the
default value. Then, dial as shown to program these five settings into CallExtend:

To program, dial:

Default values for these fields are: 4 1 1 0 0

1.

Hook Flash: By default, CallExtend performs a 500 ms hook-flash to transfer

calls. If your phone system needs a different setting, select the appropriate digit
from the following chart and enter it in FIELD 1 of the above chart:

no hook-flash.................. 0 600 ms.............................5

250 ms............................ 1 750 ms.............................6

300 ms............................ 2 900 ms.............................7

400 ms............................ 3 1 sec ................................8

500 ms............................ 4 1.5 sec .............................9

2.

Ring to Answer On: By default, CallExtend will answer all incoming calls on the

first ring. To change this, enter the ring to answer on in FIELD 2 of the above chart.

3.

Call Supervision: CallExtend can supervise call transfers in several ways. Select

the desired mode and enter the appropriate digit in FIELD 3 of the above chart:

Full Supervision – If CallExtend transfers a call to an extension that is busy or does

not answer, that call will be sent to the receptionist (or, it can be disconnected, as
described under Setting #4 next). To select full supervision, choose the number of
times you want an extension to ring (2-9) before CallExtend retrieves the call. Enter
this number of rings in FIELD 3 of the chart.

Busy-Only Supervision – If CallExtend transfers a call to an extension that is busy,

that call will be sent to the receptionist (or, it can be disconnected – see Setting #4).
Calls to ringing extensions will be cut through. To select this mode, enter “1” (one)
in FIELD 3 of the chart. Busy-Only Supervision is the default mode in CallExtend.

Unsupervised - CallExtend cuts through all calls to the desired extension without

looking for busy or ringing. To select this mode, enter “0” (zero) in FIELD 3.

4.

Supervised Disconnect: If CallExtend transfers a call to an extension that is

busy or doesn’t answer, CallExtend can disconnect the call, instead of sending it to
the receptionist. In this case, the caller will first hear the BDA Message (e.g., “that
extension is not available right now; please try again later”). To use this mode, enter
“1” (one) in FIELD 4 of the chart and select either Full Supervision or Busy-Only
Supervision for Setting #3. To not use this mode, enter “0” (zero) in FIELD 4.
