This document provides detailed information covering description and operation of the
numerous features available in the iPECS Series Release 5 system software. The document
is written assuming the system employs the default-numbering plan for North America.
1.1.1 Organization
Features are arranged alphabetically in six different major groupings as follows:
Section 2 System Features
Section 3 Intercom Features
Section 4 CO/IP
Section 5 iPECS Phone
Section 6 Attendant Position
Section 7 SLT
1.1.2 Feature Information
Each section is an alphabetical listing of features with the description and operation of each.
The structure is divided into 6 parts as below:
Description: explains the nature of the feature.
Operation: gives detailed step-by-step operation of the feature for iEPCS IP
Phones and SLTs.
Conditions: explains known feature interactions and constraints related to
the feature.
Programming: lists database entries that may be required for proper
feature operation.
Reference: lists related topical information to aid in understanding the
feature.
Hardware: lists hardware required for proper feature operation.
The iPECS Series is available in several configurations as listed in Table 1.2-1. Total port
capacities range from the 31-channel iPECS-Micro to iPECS-1200 at 1200 ports.
The station and CO Line maximums are not simultaneously achievable ; total ports cannot
exceed the specified System Port capacity.
Note 2
For maximum RSGM connection ports, calculation formula is ports = available system station
ports)/2, there must be sufficient VoIP channels to support packet relay for RSGM rtp packets.
Note 3
Approximately 35 minutes (16 Mbytes) of the VSF memory are used to provide basic system
prompts, the remaining memory can be used for announcements and voice message storage.
Values in parenthesis are the announcement and storage time available.
Note 4
Using G.711 codecs, 8 VoIP channels are available. Due to additional processing needs,
complex codecs reduce the available channels; four (4) channels are available using G.723
or G.729.
Note 5
Issue 0, 1, 2 : Support up to 100 channels (SIP extension + CO trunk) simultaneously Issue
3 : Support up to 200 channels (SIP extension + CO trunk) simultaneously
Note 6
Only Issue 3 MFIM MPB’s ( specifically MFIM100, 300, 600) are suitable/supported for
upgrade to Phase 6 firmware versions. Attempts at upgrading the older MFIM MPB versions
( i.e. issue 0,1 and 2 ) will result in MFIM database and functional failure.
The MFIM50A/B, and MFIM1200 are excluded from this rule.
Station users may allow tracking of specific calls by entering a non-verified variable length (up
to 12 digits) identifier for a call. The identifier or “Account Code” is output as part of the Station
Message Detail Record (SMDR) for the call.
Operation
iPECS Phone
To assign a Flex button for {ACCOUNT CODE} operation:
1. When entering an Account Code during a call, DTMF digits are not heard by the
connected party.
2. A maximum of 1000 {ONE-TOUCH ACCOUNT CODE} buttons may be assigned in
the system.
3. If an Authorization Code is entered as the Account Code, the SMDR record will
show the station number or the bin number for a System Authorization Code rather
than the user entered Authorization Code.
4. If the Forced SMDR Account Code of station is set to “ON”, user should enter an
Account Code prior to placing an outgoing call.
The system can be configured to recognize the status of an external contact (normally open or
closed). The system will signal assigned iPECS Phones when the contact activates. This
capability is commonly employed to provide remote Alarm or Door Bell signals to the user.
Assigned stations receive the Alarm Signal, either a single tone burst repeated at 1-minute
intervals or a continuous tone. The Alarm Signal may be terminated at the user’s phone by
dialing the Alarm Stop code or, if assigned, pressing the {ALARM STOP} button. To rearm the
Alarm function, the alarm condition must be cleared and the Alarm signal terminated.
When used as a Door Bell, assigned iPECS Phones receive a single tone burst each time the
external contact is activated and no reset is required.
Operation
System
At detection of contact operation, the Alarm/Door Bell signal is sent to assigned stations.
iPECS Phone
To assign a Flex button as an {ALARM STOP} button to terminate the Alarm Signal:
[PGM] + {FLEX} + “565” + [SAVE]
To terminate an Alarm Signal while idle:
1. Dial the Flex Numbering Plan code 565, confirmation tone is received and the Alarm
Signal is terminated. If the alarm condition is cleared, the system will automatically
rearm the alarm monitoring.
Or,
2. Press the {ALARM STOP} button.
Conditions
1. The Alarm contacts must be “dry”, no voltage or current source connected.
2. Only an iPECS Phone may be assigned to receive Alarm/Door Bell signals.
3. An iPECS Phone with LCD assigned to receive Alarm/Door Bell signals will show
“ALARM” or “DOOR BELL” as appropriate.
Authorization Codes provide a means to control access to Off Premise Call Forward, Walking
COS, or DISA and may be required for outgoing CO/IP Line or LCR access based on
configuration of the iPECS database. When users dial an Authorization Code that matches an
Authorization Code stored in the database, the system invokes the Station COS or the COS
assigned to Authorization code. Each Authorization code has separate Day/Night mode COS
assignments.
There are two types of Authorization Codes, Station and System. A Station Authorization Code
is specifically related to a given station and intended for a single user. The System
Authorization Codes are intended for use by any station in the system.
The Station Authorization Codes includes the associated station number and the assigned
code. The structure of the System Authorization code can be set as either “*”, or “*” the
Authorization table index and the code digits. The later allows duplicate codes to be employed
using entry of table index to provide a unique identification of the entry.
The Administrator and Attendants are permitted to assign any Authorization code including
codes for another station. Normal users may only assign the Station Authorization code for the
specific station.

2.5.2 Announcements
Description
Each ACD group can provide announcements to incoming callers. Primary and secondary
announcements are available with control timers. The first announcement is played after 1st
control timer. The 2nd control timer determines the period between the first and second
announcement. The second announcement can be replayed at defined intervals. If desired, the
primary message can be defined to play in full to all callers as a “guaranteed announcement” or
only for calls that queue.
When enabled, a CIQ (Calls in Queue) announcement is played to callers that are queued to
the ACD group. The CIQ announcement (“Your Call is number xx in Queue”) is played to
queued callers after the 1st announcement is played and again after each time the 2nd
announcement is played. Internal callers with an iPECS Display Phone also receive the “You

2.5.4 Calls-In-Queue routing
Description
When a caller is queued to an ACD Group, various announcements may be played and music
on hold may be sent to the caller. The caller may dial a digit at any time while queued to exit
the queue, except during a Guaranteed Announcement. The dialed digit is compared to digits
defined in the ACD Group CIQ Route Table. If a match is found, the call is routed to the defined
destination (Station, Station Group, etc.). If a match is not found, external callers receive an
error message and are placed back in queue; internal callers are simply placed back in queue.
Operation
Operation of this feature is automatic based on caller input
Conditions
1. ACD CIQ routing is not supported during or within 5 seconds of a Guaranteed
Announcement. Digits dialed during a Guaranteed Announcement use Caller
Controlled ICLID routing.
2. The call must be in queue for the ACD group, dialing during ring back tone is not
recognized by the iPECS.

ACD Caller Controlled ICLID Routing
The administrator can establish CIQ (Calls-In -Queue) thresholds for each ACD Group so that
an assigned VMIM/VSF announcement plays over a defined Page zone, if the number of calls
in queue equals or exceeds a CIQ threshold. The message, which is recorded by an Attendant,
plays immediately or after a defined delay. The message repeats at assigned intervals until the
number of Calls in Queue falls below the threshold. iPECS allows different treatment and
VMIM/VSF announcements for up to three different Calls-In -Queue thresholds.

agents are busy, the call is queued to the group or routes to the Alternate Destination. The
queued caller receives ACD group announcements or audio from the defined music source.
Callers that remain in queue receive audio from the defined music source or ring-back tone and,
after the defined Overflow time, route to an Overflow destination.
Agents can be assigned a priority from“0” ~ “9”, “0” being the lowest priority and “9” the highest.
When priorities are assigned, calls are routed to the highest priority Agent that has been idle

2.23.4 Conference Group
Description
Stations and external contacts can be arranged in groups so that a user may create a
conference with all members of the group through a single call. Each conference group can
have up to 32 members that can be a station or an external telephone number. Conference
groups are assigned in the iPECS User Portal (Station Web Admin) by assigning a conference
group number and the members of the group. A voice recording, which is played to members
receiving the Conference group call, can be associated with the group. Initiation of a Group call
can be password protected with a 5-digit password assigned when the group is created.
There are two (2) types of Conference Groups, Station and System. The Station Conference
group is created by the station user, who is assigned as the group supervisor, and is the only
member that can initiate a Conference group call. The System Conference Group is created by
an Attendant or system administrator and any member can initiate the Conference Group call.
The member initiating the call becomes the supervisor for that Conference Group call.
The supervisor can manage membership in the conference and can monitor the status of each
member, in/out of conference. The Supervisor can remove members from the conference or, if
members are absent, the supervisor can add a non-member to the conference. An Absent
Supervisor timer terminates the conference if the supervisor is not in the conference for the
timer interval. Setting the interval to “0” disables this feature.
Once a group is created, the supervisor imitates the conference by calling the conference
group. The system then attempts to call each member of the group either simultaneously or in
turn using the Interval timer assigned for the group. Members that answer the call receive the
recorded voice announcement, if any, and can enter the conference, dial “1”, or reject the
conference, hang-up. The system will attempt to contact a busy or no-answer member based
on the assigned Retry Count. A call is consider no-answer using the no-answer timer set when
the group was created.
Operation
To create a conference group from the iPECS User Portal:
1. Access Station Program in the Web Admin.
2. Select Conference Group button.
3. Create the Conference group entering:

Station & CO COS Interaction The following chart displays the dialing capabilities based on the
interaction between the Station COS and CO line COS assignments.
PBX Dialing Codes – Four (4) one or two-digit PBX Trunk Access Codes can be defined in the
system database. When dialed as the first digit(s), these codes signal the system to apply the
appropriate COS. If not dialed, the call is treated as an internal PBX call and dialing is not
restricted.
Exception Tables – Each Exception Table permits entry of 50 Allow codes and 50 Deny codes.
Each code can contain up to 20 digits including digits 0-9, “#” as a wild card (any digit) and “*”
as the end of entry mark. Reference the previous charts for application of the Exception Tables.
Exception Table process – As digits are dialed, they are compared to entries in the appropriate
Exception Table. Based on the Allow and Deny entries, the system applies the following rules
to allow or deny the call.
1. The dialing privileges are based on the CO and Station COS.
2. The selection of the COS is made based on the Authorization code entered by the
user.
3. COS does not apply to calls placed over a VoIP channel.
