extension programming.
With voluntary account codes, the user is not forced to enter an account code
before making a call. With forced account codes, the user must enter an
account code before accessing an outside line.
Non-verified account codes can be assigned to incoming and outgoing calls.
To assign an account code to an outgoing call, the user enters the account
code before making the call or during the call. To assign an account code to
an incoming call, the user enters the account code during the call.

Station Hunti ngSystem Features
Station Hunting
(CPC-S and CPC-M)
Station hunting allows calls to be automatically transferred among a
preselected group of phones.
When a call terminates to a busy extension in a hunt group, the call
automatically transfers to another extension in the group. If the second
extension is busy, the call automatically transfers to another member of the
group.
Three types of hunt groups are available: Terminal, Distributed, and Longest
Idle. In addition, a software-defined pilot extension number is available.
The DBS 824 also allow calls from busy hunt groups to overflow to a transfer
extension. The transfer extension can be the pilot of another hunt group, the
pilot (0) of the attendant group, or a single extension number.
Terminal Hunt Groups
When the T erminal method is selected, a call to the hunt group will repeatedly
search hunt group members until the Transfer Timer expires. If none of the
members is free when the timer expires, the call is transferred to the transfer
extension.
Distributed Hunt Groups
When the Distributed method is selected, calls are distributed through the
hunt group based on which extension in the group received a call in the last
search. The incoming call begins its search at the next available extension in
the group and then repeatedly searches the group, in sequence, until the
Transfer T imer expires. If none of the members is free when the timer expires,
the call is transferred to the transfer extension.
Longest Idle Hunt Groups
With Longest Idle hunting, a call to the pilot number rings the extension in
the group that has been available the longest.
As with the other two methods, the search then continues through the Hunt
Group until the Transfer Timer expires. If a member does not become
available before the timer expires, the call is transferred to the transfer
extension.

each of these tables, the entire range of valid office codes can be individually allowed or restricted. Thus, the Special Area and Office Codes work together to provide specific toll restrictions.
The following calling restrictions are also available:
• Station Lockout Key Code Restriction
A key code must be entered before calling out when the Station Lockout
feature is activated.
• Account Code Restriction
An Account Code must be entered before calling out.

VAU
(CPC-S and CPC-M)
Description
The Voice Announce Unit (VAU) is a digital answering device that can be
connected to the DBS 824. It provides for the recording and playback of up to
two voice messages, along with the ability to transfer incoming calls.
When a call reaches the VAU, it plays a prerecorded voice message. The
caller is then allowed to dial a number or is automatically transferred to a
predetermined extension.
The VAU is often used to back up operators or hunt groups. Callers
overflowing from either of these positions hear a message and can then dial a
number or wait to be transferred back to the operator or hunt group.
The VAU can be used to provide a variety of other services to callers, such as
a menu of dialing options or transfer to an answering machine.

• When an Absence Message is set on a DID extension, incoming DID calls
are routed according to the ringing assignment programmed for the
incoming trunk.
• DND and Absence Messages cancel Call Forwarding.
Calls to an extension with DND or Absence Message turned on are treated
differently, depending on whether they are trunk or intercom calls:
Intercom calls receive busy tone; trunk calls are routed to the extension
defined in permanent call forwarding.
The following types of incoming trunk calls follow permanent call forward
settings:
- Direct trunk calls
- Transferred trunk calls.
• Callback to an incoming CO call on a Private Line is available if the
Absence Message feature is activated.

Call Coverage Groups
(CPC-S and CPC-M)
Description
Call coverage is designed for office workers who almost always want their
unanswered calls to be routed to the same secretary or secretaries.
Up to two extensions can be designated as covering phones (secretary).
3-8DBS 824-3.0 /3.2-700Revised April 2000
Key Telephone FeaturesCall Coverage Groups
For example, if an outside call on line 1 is sent to extension 135, but
extension 135 does not answer, the call will ring once when the call first
comes in at the covering phone and “TRK #01> 135” will appear on the
covering phone’s display.
If two extensions are designated as covering phones and the first in DND, the
second will receive the call.
Call coverage assignments are controlled through system programming,
rather than from individual extensions.
For extension-controlled routing of unanswered calls, see “Call Forwarding”
on page 3-10.
Related Programming
• FF3 (Extension): Offhook Signal
• FF4 (Ringing and Hunt Groups): Call Coverage Group Member Table
Considerations
• Up to four Call Coverage Groups can be programmed into your system. A
Call Coverage Group can have up to two covering phones and up to six
extensions.
• A member of one Call Coverage Group cannot belong to another Call
Coverage Group or to a Hunting Group.
• A single-line telephone (SLT) can be a member of a coverage group, but it
cannot be a covering phone.
• Calls to an extension in DND do not cover.
• Calls to an extension with Call Forwarding activated do not cover.
• If the Call Forwarding feature or the Absence Message feature is activated
for covering phone No. 1, covering phone No. 2 will “cover” the other
extensions in the group.
• Voice intercom calls do not activate call coverage. Only tone intercom
calls can activate call coverage.

- Direct trunk calls
- Transferred trunk calls.
• Voice calls do not forward when Call Forwarding--No Answer is used.
• If several calls arrive at once at an extension set for Call Forwarding-No
Answer, all of the calls will be queued. (The timing for each call begins

• Extensions for which Call Forwarding to an external number has been set
cannot
- Be in the middle of an outside call when the feature is activated.
- Have a toll restriction setting that prohibits outside calls.
:
• To forward to an outside number, the number must be pre-programmed in
personal or system speed dialing. Forwarding to an outside number
requires use of pooled access trunks (Dial 9, 81 - 86). However, Dial 9 is
not available when using Least Cost Routing mode.
• Calls can be forwarded to a third-party voice mail using the “Call Forward
ID Code” described on page 1-12.
• In order for an extension to be permanently call forwarded to the pilot
number of a hunt group, the hunt group pilot number must be 244 or
above. For example, if extension 200 is assigned as the pilot number of a
hunt group, hunting will work properly when 200 is dialed. However,
permanent call forwarding will not work for any extension that is
permanently call forwarded to the hunt group pilot number.
