Before connecting the iPECS to the telephone network, you may be required to notify your local serving telephone company of your intention to use "customer provided equipment.” You may further be required to provide any or all of the following information: PSTN line Telephone numbers to be connected to the system Model name: LIK-MICRO/100/300/600/1200 IP KTS Local regulatory agency registration number: locally provided Ringer equivalence: 0.7B Registered jack: RJ-11 with Desk Holder/Wall Mount RJ-21X with Main Cabinet
The required regulatory agency registration number is available from your local LG Nortel representative.
This equipment complies with the following regulatory standards, FCC Part 15 and 68, IC (Industry Canada) CS03, TBR21, TBR03, and TBR04. Also, this equipment complies with the safety requirements of UL60950, CSA60950, EN60950, EN55022 and EN55024.
The iPECS has been designed to comply with the Hearing Aid Compatibility requirements as defined in Section 68.316 of Part 68 FCC Rules.
If the telephone company determines that customer provided equipment is faulty and may possibly cause harm or interruption in service to the telephone network, it should be disconnected until repair can be affected. If this is not done, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect your service.
The local telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities or procedures. If these changes could reasonably be expected to affect the use of the iPECS or compatibility with the network, the telephone company is required to give advanced written notice to the user, allowing the user to take appropriate steps to maintain telephone service.
The iPECS complies with rules regarding radiation and radio frequency emission as defined by local regulatory agencies. In accordance with these agencies, you may be required to provide information such as the following to the end user:

2.2 ALARM SIGNAL/DOOR BELL
Description
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.

2.3 AUTHORIZATION CODES (PASSWORD)
Description
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.
2-3
Page 19
IPECS Release 5
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.
Operation
iPECS Phone
To assign a Station Authorization Code:
1. Press the [PGM] button.
2. Dial ‘33’, the Authorization Code Program Code.
3. Dial the Station number.
4. Dial the Authorization Code (1 to 12 digits).
5. Press the [
To enter an Authorization Code when second dial tone is received:

System Attendant
To assign an Authorization Code:
1. Press the [PGM] button.
2. Dial Attendant Station Program Code ‘031’.
3. Dial station number for a Station code or, for system code, ‘*’ or ‘*’ and the Authorization table index.
4. Dial Authorization Code.
5. Press the [SAVE] button.
Conditions
1. When a DISA Line is marked for Authorization Code entry, the caller will hear DND Warning tone and must input a valid Authorization Code to continue. In case of an entry error, the user may retry entry of the code. In case of multiple entry errors, the user may retry entry based on the DISA Retry counter. The station, if assigned, is forced to COS 7 after repeated attempts fail.
2. A user must enter a valid code within the number of attempts assigned as the FAC (Forced Account Code) Retry Count. The station, if enabled, is placed to COS 7 after repeated failure attempts.
3. A user may enter an Authorization Code from any station to place a CO/IP call using Walking COS.
4. The default Station Authorization code is the station number and “*”.
5. The total number of Authorization codes is provided in Table 1.2-1.
6. CO/IP groups may be configured to require entry of a valid Authorization Code. In this case, a second dial tone is provided when the CO/IP group is accessed. If the code entered is invalid, error tone is returned and the user must enter a valid code within the FAC Retry Count.
7. If the Check Password option is enabled in the LCR database, when dialed digits match the LDT table digits, the system will send second dial tone to request the user input a valid Authorization code.
8. An Authorization code may include any dial pad digit except ‘*’ and ‘#’.
9. Duplicate or conflicting System Authorization codes are not allowed when using the older “*” and code operation. For example, code ‘1234’ conflicts with code ‘123’ and cannot be recognized as a unique code. Since the index operation employs the table index and the station number forms part of the Station code, conflicts will not occur and duplicate codes are allowed for these types of Authorization code.
10. Use of Authorization codes varies based on the system nation code. In some regions, particularly the US and UK, a System Authorization code may be required for DISA access. Entering a Station code on a DISA line will fail in these areas. In other regions, a System Authorization code can be used with Walking COS.

2.5.1.6 Agent On/Off Duty w/Reason Code
Description
Agents can control their status, On/Off-duty, and assign a Reason code for an Off-duty state. The system outputs the Reason code as part of the ACD Event message output. The Reason code may be any digit (0 ~ 9, * and #). With the exception of Reason code ‘0’, when the Agent goes Off-duty manually, the Agent must return to the On-duty state manually.
If assigned as the Auto ACD DND code, using Reason code ‘0’ activates the ACD DND Wrap-up timer. At expiration of the timer, the Agent is placed back On-duty. This provides the flexibility of an Agent activated Wrap-up time.
The Agent may assign an {ACD ON/OFF DUTY} button to for easy access. The ACD group number and the Reason code can be assigned for an {ACD ON/OFF DUTY (GROUP) (REASON)} button. By entering the Auto ACD DND code, the Agent will have an ACD DND button and, if assigned Reason code ‘0’, the Agent will return to On-duty status after the ACD DND Wrap-up time.

2.5.9 Incoming Call Routing
Description
Incoming calls to an ACD group route directly to the station/agent that has been idle the longest (Uniform Call Distribution) or an ACD group announcement recorded by an Attendant. If all 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 the longest.
If there are no Agents active in the group when a call arrives, the call will receive the “No Member” treatment. Intercom calls receive re-order and external callers are routed to an Attendant.

Routing of ACD group calls is automatic based on the ACD group assignments.

10. Call Forward status is maintained in the system’s non-volatile memory for protection from power outage.
11. A station in a Station Hunt Group (ACD, Circular or Terminal) can be assigned to receive incoming hunt calls, overriding any Call Forward. That is, the system either recognizes the Forward condition and bypasses hunt calls around the station or routes hunt calls to the station based on the system database (Member Forward).
12. Off-Net Call Forward of incoming CO/IP calls is essentially an automated DISA call, which will establish an Unsupervised Conference. Such calls are subject to the conditions of a DISA call and Unsupervised Conference and may require entry of an Authorization Code.
13. Off-Net forward calls are not answered until the system completes dialing of the external call. The call, internal or external, is then connected to the Off-Premise call.
14. If the Speed Dial number used in Off-Net Call Forward contains a Flash, only digits prior to the Flash are dialed.
15. An unlimited number of stations may be set-up in a Call Forward chain, forwarding calls from one station to the next. However, a station cannot forward calls to a station already a part of the chain.
16. Calls to a Call Forward chain will progress as appropriate through the chain to the last station. If the last station enters DND, CO/IP calls revert to the previous station while intercom calls receive DND tone.

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.

2.35 EMERGENCY CALL E-911 (CALLER LOCATION) SUPPORT
Description
The Emergency Call E-911 (caller location) Support feature integrates the iPECS to a PBX ANI Link unit, such as from Tone Commander, to provide caller id and location information to an emergency center. When an emergency call is placed from a station of the iPECS, an assigned emergency CO Line is used to connect the ANI link unit. The iPECS sends the station number, four (4) digits, to the unit as DTMF digits. The ANI Link unit places a call to the emergency center over a connected CAMA trunk. Caller Id and location information from the ANI Link unit database is sent to the emergency center in the proper format and the station is connected to the call.
This feature also provides a means to identify a Power Failure signal from the ANI Link unit. Typically, an ANI Link unit will incorporate a normally open contact that closes when power to the unit fails. If a Power Failure signal is detected, iPECS routes emergency calls via PSTN/ISDN circuits other than those marked for emergency call use until the Power Fail signal is removed.

Conditions
1. The system Loop Start lines connected to the ANI Link unit must be assigned to a separate CO line group and the individual CO/IP lines assigned for emergency service.
2. The ANI Link unit must be properly connected to an SLT port and an LGCM port on the same LAN as the MFIM. In addition, the ANI Link device must be co-located with the iPECS system, in the same building.
3. The ANI Link unit must be properly installed and connected to a CAMA trunk from the telco to send location information to the local emergency center.
4. It is the Customer’s responsibility to maintain the ANI Link unit number/location database; there is no integration provided between the iPECS database and the ANI Link unit.
5. The system must be programmed for a three or four digit numbering plan. The system must send four digits to the ANI unit. When a three digit plan is used, a leading ‘0’ is automatically added to the station number.
6. During a power failure, if the ANI Link unit Power Fail contacts, normally open, are connected to a system SLT port, the iPECS will recognize the fault and emergency calls are not sent to the ANI Link unit. In this situation, emergency calls are sent over normal system PSTN/ISDN circuits and the station digits are not sent.
7. SMDR output will identify any call made via the Emergency call feature, including the success or failure of calls.

2.38.1 AA/VM Group
Description
The system provides support for an adjunct Auto Attendant/Voice Mail system via connection to SLT ports. When a call arrives for the External AA/VM Group, the system will search the group for an idle port and deliver the call.
Signaling information between the iPECS and AA/VM system may be assigned for in-band DTMF signaling or the SMDI (Simplified Message Desk Interface) signaling protocol over the assigned iPECS system RS-232 port.
Operation
System
The system will interface with the External AA/VM based on database assignments.
Conditions
1. Selection of SMDI or in-band signaling can be alternated using the 2nd Virtual Dip switch.
2. Only one AA/VM Group (External, VMIM/VSF or Feature Server) can be defined in the system. Multiple definitions may cause erroneous system operation.
