11 Using TheAttendant Features
1.2Using Your Speakerphone
When using your speakerphone, the microphone and loudspeaker are
farther away from you than when you use a handset. Both the signal from
the loudspeaker and the signal to the microphone must be strengthened.
When microphones and loudspeakers are close together (such as in a
speakerphone), additional amplification typically generates a ringing
sound (public address systems do this if the volume is too high or the
microphone is too close to a loudspeaker).
Your speakerphone’s sound-activated switches allow either the
microphone or the loudspeaker to be on at a given time. This means that
voice sounds travel in only one direction at a particular moment.

Speakerphone User Guidelines
Both parties cannot talk at the same time. You must wait for silence
•
out of your loudspeaker before talking. Y ou must stop talking to hear
the other party.
Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from
•
operating properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will
detect sounds from typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging systems,
and other equipment.
Speak slightly louder than normal and with a clear, authoritative voice.
•
For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet
of it and face the telephone.
Raising the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
•
sound-activated switches in your telephone to select the distant party’s
voice. Lowering the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
switches to select your voice.
Since the system takes several seconds to provide the best switching,
•
constant sound patterns—such as elongating your words and playing
externally-supplied music—may prevent the sound-activated switches
from operating properly.
Place the telephone on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do
•
not place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let
obstructions come between you and the microphone. Rooms with hard,
flat surfaces that reflect sound may affect the sound-activated switches.
If you are using a handset and the other party is using a speakerphone,
•
avoid breathing heavily into your microphone. Avoid other sounds that
may affect the distant telephone’s sound-activated switches.
In some situations, such as when either you or the distant party are in a
•
noisy e nvironment, you may have to lift your handset to ensure a clear
conversation.
When both you and the distant party use speakerphones, the
•
sound-activated switches can occasionally detect both voices
simultaneously, thus blocking out both voices.

Answering CallsGCA70–226
2.6Responding To A Subdued
Off-Hook Voice Announcement
Your installer can set your LCD speakerphone to receive a Subdued
Off-Hook VoiceAnnouncement (SOHVA). This featureallows an
intercom caller to break into your call by making an announcement
through your handset receiver. (This means that if you are on a
speakerphone call, you cannot receive a SOHVA call.) The distant party
that you are currently talking to cannot hear the announcement made by
the SOHVA caller.
Please note that you can receive a SOHVA call even if you are using your
headset; however, the distant party may be able to hear the SOHVA as it
is made.
• You can respond to a SOHVA in one of three ways:
— Verbally: Press and hold the REPLY button and speak into
handset. Distant party cannot hear response. To return to
distant party after your reply is complete, release the REPLY
button.
— Non-verbally (Response Messaging): If the announcing
station has an LCD speakerphone, press MSG (message),
then press HAVE HOLD (have the caller hold), TAKE MSG
(take a message), or CALL BACK (I will call back) to send
the appropriate message.
The message appears in the display of the telephone making
the SOHVA call and then that telephone is automatically
disconnected from your telephone. (If the telephone to which
you attempt to send a non-verbal message is not an LCD
telephone, no message is sent and that station is immediately
disconnected from the call.)
— Blocking the SOHVA: You can block a SOHVA to your
stationbypressingBLOCK when the SOHVA is initiated.
The SOHVA call is then disconnected.

3.1Dialing Automatically
This feature provides one- or two-button speed dialing using
programmable buttons at which you have previously stored numbers.
Two levels of number storage are available at each storage location, and
you can use one or both levels as needed. Further, since you usually store
a line choice as part of a speed dial number, line selection is automatic
with speed dialing. This user’s guide discusses button programming in a
separate section. Refer to it when you are ready to store numbers at the
programmable buttons.
There are two types of speed dial numbers: (1) numbers that you store
for your own use (personal speed dial numbers), and (2) numbers that the
system attendant stores for everyone’s use (system speed dial numbers).
• To automaticallydial a speed dial number stored at one of
the programmablebuttons on your station,
1. Press preprogrammed speed dial button (line selection is
usually a part of the stored speed dial number),
—OR—
press preprogrammed SHIFT button, then press
preprogrammed button (to choose number stored as a second
choice at that button).
With your station idle, you can automatically dial a personal or system
speed dial number that is stored at a dial pad location.
• To speed dial a number stored at the dial pad,
— personal speed dial number—while on hook, press speed dial
number on dial pad (0–9),
— system speed dial number—while on hook, press ✳and then
dial system speed dial number (100 - 599).
NOTE: If you are already on a line, you must press SHIFT before
dialing the personal or system speed dial numbers that are
stored at the dial pad. Also, if a speed dial’s preselected line is
in use, the speed dial will not function.

3.6Making Inter com Calls
You can dial an intercom extension manually from the dial pad or
automatically using a direct station select (DSS) button that you have
previously programmed. There are two methods for making an intercom
call. One causes the called telephone to ring. The other causes your voice
to sound out at the called telephone. Your installer can set the system to
deliver either tone-first or voice-first calling.
Keep in mind that whatever the system setting, a called party can set a
voice announce block condition at his or her telephone to prevent all
voice announce calls. Furthermore, if he or she blocks voice announce,
the system also blocks SOHVA calls.
(The following instructions assume a tone-first setting. Any user can
change a call to voice announce signaling by pressing the INTERCOM
or DSS button again after dialing the extension number—unless the
called station has voice announce block enabled.)
• To manually place an intercom call,
1. Press INTERCOM.
2. Dial extension number.
• To place an intercom call automatically,
1. Press DSS button.
Some systems will be arranged so that certain stations have a hot line
feature. If your station is so arranged, every time you lift the handset,
your LCD speakerphone will automatically ring a preselected station
(programmed by the installer). To make an intercom call to a station
other than this hot line station, or to make a call on an outside line, you
must press an intercom or line button before you lift the handset; then
you can dial the number.

3.11 Making A Subdued Off-Hook
Voice Announcement (SOHVA)
You can make a subdued voice announcement to another station that is
off-hook and busy on a call if the system is arranged to provide this
feature. Your telephone provides a SOHVA interactive button for this
purpose. You decide whether to deliver a SOHVA message, camp on at
that station, set a message-waiting indicator, or hang up when you hear
an intercom busy tone.
• Make a SOHVA announcement using the SOHVA button as
follows:
1. Make intercom call and hear busy tone. If called station is on
outside line, ring-back tone is heard, but SOHVA is still
available.
2. Decide whether to interrupt,
3. If you decide not to interrupt the called party, hang up.
—OR—
To interrupt, press SOHVA button and hear several quick tone
bursts.
4. Make announcement (busy tone means that the called
telephone is in speakerphone mode and you cannot make
announcement, that your SOHVA has been denied through
system programming, or the called party has blocked your
SOHVA).
5. Wait on line for reply (either verbal or LCD reply).
NOTE: You cannot control how the announcement is received. This
depends upon whether or not the called party is using a
headset and how his or her station is programmed. For
example, if the called party has set their station to call forward
to voice mail or to another station not in the SOHVA group,
your announcement will not be received.

Placing Calls On Hold
4.1Holding Calls
You can place a call on hold and pick it back up a short time later. With a
regular hold, you can either pick up the held call at your telephone or
another user can pick the call up at another telephone that shares the held
call line with your telephone. With an exclusive hold condition, you or
another user must pick up the held call at your telephone; no other
telephone has access to it. You can answer and place on hold a call that is
on a line that does not appear at your telephone (a call that is parked or
transferred to you, for instance). Typically, your intercom light will flash
to let you know you have a call on hold.
Afteracallhasbeenonholdfortheperiodoftime(setbythesystem
installer), the system will cause four quick tone bursts to sound at your
telephone, and speed up the flash rate of the line button light. If the call
is on exclusive hold, it will revert to manual hold recall after a timeout
period.
When you answer a call on a group intercom and place it on hold, the
system keeps the call on hold on the group intercom. This means that
you or any other user can pick up this call at any station that has access
to the group intercom.
The installer can add a directed station hold feature to your telephone.
With this feature, you can pick up the held call that has been on hold the
longest length of time at another telephone. This feature also allows you
to place a call on hold at another telephone in a manner that makes that
call appear to have been on hold there for a longer period of time than
any other held call.

5.3MakingAHotTransfer
A hot transfer is a type of screened transfer. To perform a hot transfer,
you voice announce the transfer over the speaker of the telephone that
you want to receive the transfer, and release the call to that telephone.
The system handles the release in a way that does not require the called
party to retrieve the call (the call does not ring at the station).
This feature is useful f or transferring calls to people who need to work in
a handsfree mode. Once you announce the call and the system completes
the transfer, the person receiving the transfer can simply begin speaking
toward his or her speakerphone to answer the call.
If you make a hot transfer to a monitor telephone, you can voice
announce the call over the telephone’s speaker, but the person receiving
the outside line transfer will need to lift the handset to answer the call
(the telephone will not ring after the announcement is made).
Please note that you can not make a hot transfer to a telephone if its user
has enabled the Voice Announce Block feature. This telephone will
automatically ring with the transfer requiring the intercom party to
answer it as either a screened or an unscreened transfer.

7.7Entering Authorization Codes
Authorization codes give you a walking class of service option. Walking
class of service provides you with the mobility to use your class of
service (COS) features, prime line assignments, and exception numbers
on any telephone in the system. This means that you will not be limited
by features that are available to the particular telephone that you happen
to be using. Authorization codes are associated with your personal
intercom number and are assigned to you by your installer when he or
she programs the system. When you enter your assigned authorization
code at any system telephone, the code alerts the system to make your
normal features available to you. This means that you can use the
telephone for anything allowed by your personal intercom number;
however, you cannot disturb the last number redial stored there by the
normal user. Once you access your telephone features, they remain in
effect until any idle time exceeds the authorization code time-out period.
If your telephone includes an installer-programmed LOCK button, you
can press it and then dial your authorization code to deny other users
access to lines and features at your LCD speakerphone.
• To activate walking class of service,
1. Select system telephone to use.
2. Press INTERCOM.
3. Dial #08.
4. Dial your authorization code.
• To lock your telephone,

NOTE: If you waitlonger than two seconds to dial a digit after you
press the LOCK button, that pause, and any others that you
might include, becomes part of the lock code. However, before
you can enter a pause,you must begin the code with a digit.
The telephone display will show a (-) to represent a pause as
part of the code as you enter it. You must allow for any pauses
at any location that you inserted them in the number string
when you unlock your telephone. This feature provides you
with a method for creating a very effective lock and unlock
password.

7.8Forwarding Calls
You can permanently forward the calls that normally ring at your
telephone to another telephone. You can forward just your prime line and
intercom calls, or you can forward all of your calls. To remind you that
your calls are being f orwarded, your telephone will sound a short ring
burst each time the system forwards a call.
You can also forward calls that ring at your telephone but receive no
answer; this feature is valuable if you are frequently away from your
desk for short periods of time and find it inconvenient to permanently
forward your calls every time you leave. The system installer sets the

join the conversation by pressing the line button of the line being used).
That person can make the call non-private by pressing the
preprogrammed PRIVACY RELEASE button, allowing other
telephones (with line appearance for the line being used) to join the call.
Privacy returns to the line when the call is completed.
Refer to the chapter on programming for instructions on how to program
the PRIVACY RELEASE button.
•To release privacy from your telephone while on a call,
1. Press preprogrammed PRIVACY RELEASE button. (The
light associated with the PRIVACY RELEASE button will

7.19 Using Direct Inward System Access (DISA)
This feature allows you to call into the DXP digital communications
system from an external telephone. You can call directly to intercom
extensions and talk to the intercom parties or, if the system includes a
voice mail option, leave messages for them if they are not available.
When you call the DISA telephone number and dial your authorization
code, the system treats your call as it would treat one coming from a
system telephone and permits you to use many of the same features that
you can use when you are calling from your assigned station.
(Authorization codes are associated with personal or group intercom
numbers and are assigned to you by your installer when he or she
programs the system.) If you use your DISA access to make a call
through the system and out on an outside line, the system applies all the
toll restriction and automatic route selection to the call that the installer
has programmed for the line that you are using. If you dial an incorrect
authorization code, or the system is busy with other DISA calls, you will
either hear an error tone, or the system will automatically route your call
to one of the following areas (as determined by your system installer):
— a designated station where you can talk to the system
attendant,
— a digital voice announce that will prompt you to take
additional action,
— a proprietary voice mail station where you will be prompted
to leave a message.
The system allows you three tries at dialing your authorization code
before it routes your call as detailed above.
Some systems provide voice prompts to DISA callers and other systems
do not. If you encounter voice prompts when you call on the DISA line,
follow the prompt directions to complete your call.
Further, some systems with voice prompt enhancement, provide a
one-digit menu that prompts you to dial a single digit to reach available
departments, use system features, or obtain operator assistance.
NOTE: DISA is not recommended for use on loop start lines without
disconnect supervision. While DISA will function, Comdial
will not be liable for its performance under any condition
where disconnect supervision is not provided.

features, including DISA, which protect against unauthorized or
fraudulent access to, or use of, a system, or which protect against
unauthorized, fraudulent or unaccounted-for access to, or use of, long
distance lines. However, no system is entirely invulnerable or immune
from unauthorized or fraudulent access or use, or unaccounted-for
access or use, and therefore Comdial disclaims any and all liability,
and m akes no warranty, express or implied, relating to unauthorized or
fraudulent access or use, or unaccounted-for access or use.
• To make a DISA call to an intercom number,
1. Dial number for DISA line (listen for voice prompt if
available).
2. Dial extension number.
3. If station does not answer or is busy you will either hear busy
tone or hear voice prompt if available. If you dial an invalid
number, you will hear error tone.
4. If voice prompt provides dialing codes, dial proper code for
services such as: track, message waiting, or voice mail.
• To make a DISA call to use system features,
1. Dial number for DISA line (listen for voice prompt if
available),
2. Dial authorization code (listen for v oice prompt if available;
otherwise, hear stutter-style dial tone—remember, the system
gives you only three tries to dial your code correctly),
3. Dial feature code and listen for acknowledgment tone.
NOTE: If you are selecting a line group through DISA for outside
calling, you can raise the audio level on this line when needed.
Do this before you select the line by dialing ✳✳7, and then
dialing 1 for 0 dB, 2 for +3dB, or 3 for +6dB of gain. In some
cases, added gain can introducecircuit instability that presents
itself as a singing sound, which can interfere with dialing and
voice communications. If you experience this condition , select
a lower gain setting.

7.20 Using The Tracker PagingSystem
The Tracker Paging System option allows you to send call back and
parked call messages to Tracker pagers assigned to station extension
numbers.
Along with the parked call message, the system parks t he call in orbit for
retrieval by the paged party. The type of message that the system delivers
(either alphanumeric or numeric-only) is dependent upon the Tracker
pager model in use at the station.
When outside callers call into a system that has both a Tracker Paging
option and a voice mail option installed, the system can provide callers
with the option of either leaving a message or tracking the person they
are calling.
If you have a Tracker pager assigned to your personal intercom number,
you can receive messages that someone else sends you. The system
automatically installs the Tracker pager for your use; however, you can
disable it when you do not wish to receive paged messages. If you
disable the Tracker pager at the end of your day, be sure to enable it at
the beginning of your next day.
Your LCD speakerphone includes an interactive TRACK button;
however, if your day-to-day operation includes extensive Tracker usage,
such as in an attendant function, your installer may include a TRACK
button at a programmable button location.

warranty, express or implied, relating to unauthorized or fraudulent
access or use, or unaccounted-for access or use.
7.23 Mark Problem Line
Your programmer can arrange the system so that you can mark a line that
is not functioning properly. You do this by pressing a pre-programmed
MARK buttonor by dialing a feature code of your choice. After you
have marked a particular line a programmed number of times, the system
takes the line out of service (unless programmed to prevent this from
happening). When the system takes the line out of service, it logs the
condition and triggers an alarm. The printed error log will then show
which line is out of service and so will the displayed error log. An out of
service line is only out of service for line group use; it is available f or
direct selection or prime line access. Further, an out of service line is
available for all inbound calls unless it is a DID line. You can not mark a
line during a conference call or if you are calling in as a DISA caller.
The system manager can use the line disable feature at the programmer’s
station to restore service on the out of service line.

8.3Sending Response Messages
By programming one or more RESPONSE MESSAGE buttons on your
LCD speakerphone, you can respond with a variety of messages to many
calling situations. For example, if you call another station and receive a
busy signal or no answer, you can send one of 30 system-supplied
messages, or you can send the same message each time the situation
arises. Further, you may at times receive intercom or SOHVA calls that
you decide not to answer, and you can send a message to the display of
the calling LCD speakerphone for the caller to read.
If you program a scrolling RESPONSE MESSAGE button at your
telephone, you may use it to scroll through and select any of the system’s
messages to send, allowing you to send a different message every time.
If you program a fixed RESPONSE MESSAGE button, you can send
the same message every time in response to a situation, which saves you
the trouble of scrolling to the message you want to send.
This section tells you how to use the RESPONSE MESSAGE button(s)
to send messages to other LCD speakerphones. Refer to section 10.6 for
instructions on programming the RESPONSE MESSAGE button(s).
• To send an LCD message when you call and receive a busy
signal or no answer,
1. While still on the call, press the appropriate fixed
RESPONSE MESSAGE button to send a preselected
message (Call [your name], for example) to the other
telephone,
—OR—
while still on the call, press the scrolling RESPONSE
MESSAGE button to scroll through the system-supplied
messages
2. Press # when your display shows the message you wish to
send (the message will then be displayed at the called
telephone).
NOTE: For the example in step 1, you would use default message 2.
Your name would then be added from the station name
programming done by the installer.

10.1Creating The LCDMessages
System users send and receive non-verbal messages for display on their
LCD speakerphones. Users send these messages so that callers will know
their status when the callers get no answer. Or system users use a
message to respond to a subdued off-hook voice announcement. LCD
messages are either those that the DXP system provides or those that you
create. The system provides five messages; you can add an additional 25
customized messages as needed. You can even store customized
messages in place of the default messages if you wish, thus increasing
the number of custom messages available. Distribute a list of the LCD
messages to the system users for their reference and use.
