Answer Supervision for Voice Mail
(CPC-AII and CPC-B Version 5.0 or higher)
Description
Operation
This feature allows the DBS to send an answer signal to third-party voice
mail systems.
In previous releases, a third-party voice mail did not receive a signal to
indicate that a DBS extension had answered. To determine that the extension
had answered, the voice mail system had to wait until it stopped receiving
ringback tone. Waiting for the ringback to stop often delayed connection
times for calls from voice mail to extensions. Sending an answer signal
provides quicker response time between the DBS and the voice mail system.
The following programming can be performed from an attendant phone or
any other phone that has entered the programming access code.
If both auto modes are set, the starting times must differ by at least one
hour.

When one auto mode is turned on, the mode cannot be reset by the

Call Forward ID Code for Voice Mail allows users to call forward to a
party voice mail system. The ID Code sends the digits that are required by the
voice mail to identify the DBS extension and allow it to retrieve messages.
With CPC-A or CPC-B Version 1 .O, you can only set the ID Code from the
phone to be forwarded. Beginning with CPC-B Version 2.0, ID Codes can be
set from any key phone; this is also true of CPC-AII.

In CPC-A 3.1 and CPC-B Versions prior to 5.0, callers could hear the tones
as the ID code was transmitted to the voice mail system. Beginning with
CPC-A Version 3.3,
CPC-AI1
and CPC-B Version 5.0, external callers do
not hear the tones.
l
The Extension Copy program (FF9 2# 1 -
144#1 - 144##)
used to copy extension settings that include a Call Forward ID Code.
Copying extension settings in this manner allows the copy “destination” to
retrieve the messages of the copy “source.” For example, if you copy
extension settings
from
extension 200 to extension 300, extension 300 can
retrieve 200’s messages. Extension 300 can retrieve 200’s messages
because the Call Forward ID Code for 200 is also assigned to 300.
Caller ID

Description

A properly equipped DBS supports Caller ID (CID), a service offered by the
network telephone service provider. The CO sends calling number
information to the DBS after the first ring. Users who have display telephones
can see CID information as incoming calls ring at their extension and can
have access to previous calls via the Caller ID Call Log feature. The CID
number is recorded in SMDR.

Centrex/PBX Compatibility allows the DBS to be connected to centrex or
PBX lines.
The DBS supports up to 8 access codes for dialing centrex or a PBX. These
access codes allow the DBS SMDR output to exclude the number dialed to
reach a centrex or PBX line.
The DBS also supports transmission of a flash signal over the centrex or PBX
link.

Direct Inward Dialing (DID)
(CPC-B Version 2.0 or higher)
Description
The Direct Inward Dialing (DID) feature allows an extension to have a
dedicated direct number. The dedicated number allows calls to be made
directly to the extension, without the caller going through the attendant.
Prior to CPC-B Version 3.1, only one DID number could be assigned to an
extension. Beginning with CPC-B Version 3.1, one DID number can be
assigned to several extensions, and one extension can have more than one
DID number; this is also true of CPC-AII.
If a DID number is assigned to more than one extension, incoming calls to the
DID number ring at all the assigned extensions simultaneously.

Station Hunting
(All Versions)
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.
Several methods of station hunting are available. The CPC version
determines which methods are available.
CPC-A and CPC-B Versions prior to 2.0 provide terminal and circular hunt
groups.
Terminal Hunt Groups
With terminal hunt groups, a call must ring at the first extension in the group
in order for hunting to be invoked.
if the first extension of the hunt group is busy, the call automatically transfers
to the next extension in the group. If that extension is busy, the
to hunt through the group. The order in which the call hunts is determined by
how the group is programmed. Up to eight extensions can be placed in the
group, and calls will always hunt from member 1, to member 2, to member 3,
and so on.
Chapter 2. System Features
tail
continues
If desired, another hunt group can be designated to receive calls should ail the
members of the original group be busy or not answer.
A pilot number must be designated as the first extension in a terminal hunt
group. A pilot number is a fictitious extension number that, when dialed,
starts the hunting process through the group. In CPC-A and CPC-B Versions
prior to 2.0, a pilot number can be provided by adding a resistor to an analog
port. See “Hardware Requirements” for details.
Circular Hunt Groups
With circular hunting, hunting is initiated by calling any extension in the
group. If the called extension is busy, the call will hunt through the next
members of the group until the end of the hunt group is reached. If the call
reaches the end of the group without reaching an idle extension, it will
transfer back to the first member of the group until one full circle is
completed.
If desired, another hunt group can be designated to receive calls should all the
members of the original group be busy.

Hardware Requirements
lA pilot number can be provided by installing a 2 watt 450 Ohm resistor on
the analog port that will be dialed to initiate station hunting. The resistor is
placed across the tip and ring of the designated analog port.
The resistor will “busy” the port. When the busy pilot number is called, the
call will hunt through the other extensions in the group..
Considerations
Eight Station Hunt Groups can be programmed; a single Hunt Group can
contain up to eight extensions, including the pilot extension.
If all extensions in a group are busy and an alternate group has not been
designated, CO calls will queue, and intercom calls will receive busy tone.
Section 700 - Operation
If the first extension within a hunt group activates an absence message, call
forwarding, or DND, the hunt feature will not work.
If an extension other than the first extension activates an absence message,
call forwarding, or DND, the hunt feature will skip that extension, and
proceed to the next extension within the group.
The amount of time a call rings at a hunt group member before transferring
to another hunt group member is determined by the Call Forward--No
Answer Timer.
An SLT hunt group member that places a call on hold and then replaces the
handset will not receive additional hunt group calls until the held
call
is
released.
An extension that is a member of a hunt group cannot be a member of
another hunt group or a member of call coverage group.
The

signaling option should be removed from members in a hunt
Beginning with CPC-B Version 2.0, three types of hunt groups are available:
Terminal, Distributed, and Longest Idle. In addition,
Version 2.0 and higher also provide a software-defined pilot extension
number. The software-defined pilot number eliminates the need for the 2 W
450 Ohm resistor required for a pilot number in CPC-A and CPC-B Versions
prior to 2.0.
CPC-AI1
and CPC-B Versions 2.0 or higher 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 Terminal method is selected, a call to the pilot number 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 .
CPC-Al1
and CPC-B
*
When the Distributed method is selected, calls are distributed through the
pilot number 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 Timer 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.
An extension is not considered idle if it rings.

extension number.
The transfer destination of any Hunt Group can be set to the pilot number
of the next group, the pilot number (0) of the Attendant Group, the pilot
number of the same group, or a real extension. The transfer destination
cannot be voice mail.
A Transfer Timer adjusts the transfer time between hunt groups. The
transfer time can be set from 0 to 32 seconds. If the timer is set to 0
seconds, CO calls will be queued at the hunt group until a member is
available. Intercom calls will also queue.
Central office trunks can be set to terminate to different hunt group pilot
numbers during day and night mode operation.
With CPC-AII and beginning with CPC-B 3.1, the Hunt Group No Answer

Voice Mail Ringing
(CPC-AII and CPC-B Version 3.1 or higher)
Description
The Voice Mail Ringing feature allows calls from a DBS Automated
Attendant or from an ACD port to ring an extension with the same ring tone
as a CO trunk. The ring pattern is selected in the Extension Distinctive
Ringing program. Lf a distinctive ringing pattern is not specified, the ringing
pattern will be two seconds on/two seconds off.
The Voice Announce Unit (VAU) is a digital answering device that can be
connected to the DBS. 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.
