AEC Disconnect
Description
This feature allows the System to send a disconnect signal of 1 second to an analog device indicating
that the calling party has hung up (t ermina ted the call). This fea ture is use ful wit h a Third- party Voice
Mail or an Answering Machine. By de fault this feature is disabled.
Hardware Requirements
•AEC port
Considerations
•The 1 second time duration of the disconnect signal is fixed. (It cannot be changed.)
Attendant Groups
Description
An attendant phone is often used as a central answering point for other extensions. In addition,
attendant phones frequently have special capabilities for monitoring and programming extensions.
You can reach the assigned attendant group by dialling the feature access code for Attendant Calls
(usually 0). If an attendant phone is availa ble but does not ans wer wit hin a set t ime, th e cal l will move
to the next available attendant phone. If all members of the attendant group are busy for a specified
time, the call can be forwarded to other extensions or anot her hun t group. The system allows up to 20
extensions to be included in an attendant group.
Hardware Requirements
•N/A
Considerations
•The System allows one attendant group for each system mode (Day 1, Day 2, and Night).
•An attendant group can contain both real extensions and virtual extensions. If virtual, several
phones can be made to ring at the same time.
•Attendant groups can use only Pilot Terminal Hunt Group or Pilot Distributed Hunt Group. For
more information, see “Hunting Groups” on page 43.
•The pilot number for an at tendan t group is fl exibl e (i.e., a ny exte nsion n umber can be designa ted
as the pilot [not a real extension]).
•If a member of the attendant group has Do-Not-Disturb (DND) or Call Fo rwar di ng - All set, that
phone is temporarily removed from the attendant group.
•If a member of the attendant group ha s Cal l For w ar din g - Bus y set and the ext ens ion is busy, the
call goes to the next phone in the attendant group.
•If all members are busy for the duration of the busy queuing timer, the call can be forwarded to
another hunt group or another extension.
•Attendant groups support the following call types:
• CLI (Called Line Identifi cation) / Direct Dial Inward (DDI)
The System provides an op tional Automat ic Call Distributor (ACD) for efficient presentation,
handling, and management of incoming calls to one or more groups of specialized users.
This optional Built-in ACD is contained on a single circuit card that is installed in the System. This
“built-in” capability eliminates the need for custom wiri ng and other installation.
Each specialized user is kno wn as an ACD agent. Each agent position is equipped with a lar ge displ ay
telephone (VB-44225/VB-D411LDSUK) that provides Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) messages to
assist the agent in handling calls.
The Built-in ACD provides:
•Up to 3 agent groups (ACD Version 3.0 and higher)
•Up to 2 agent groups (ACD Version below 3.0)
•Up to 32 agent IDs per g roup
•Up to 64 agent IDs per system (ACD Version 2.0 and higher)
•Up to 32 agents
•Up to 6 supervisor IDs per system (ACD Version 3.0 and higher)
•Up to 2 supervisor IDs per system (ACD Version below 3.0)
•Up to 4 voice ports per group
•Up to 4 voice ports per system
•1 Music-On-Hold (MOH) source (Main System MOH source)
•1 Management Information System (MIS) Monitor Port (RS-232C)
•Abandoned Call Report counter available with MIS reports (This is not the same as the
Abandoned Call Timer added to the Station Message Detail Recorder [SMDR] reports.)
•2-week memory for MIS reports
•Up to 6 recorded messages (flexible length, max. 96 sec. per system) (ACD Version 3.0 and
higher)
•Up to 6 recorded messages (max. 14 sec. per message) (ACD Version below 3.0)
•Zip Tone which automatically answers calls when an agent is using the Headset mode (CPC
Version 3.5 and higher)
•Wrap Mode which al lows an agent to complete any paperwork before becoming available to
take another call. (CPC Version 3.5 and higher)
Hardware Requirements

Chapter 3. System FeaturesSection 700 - Operation
Automatic Route Selection
Description
When Automatic Route Selection (ARS) is enabled, the system follows a preselected rout e for calls.
Usually the selected routing is the least cost route.
ARS works in conjunction with Toll Restriction Service (TRS) (Call Barring). Calls can be denied
based on the programmed TR S (Call Barrin g) level for the originating p arty. (For more information,
see “Ringing Modes” on page 57.)
•Three levels of ARS checking are available based on the dialled number following the ARS
access code:
• Direct Route Selection: The simplest form of ARS routing that upon ARS entry
(enter 9) directly selects a trunk group and any dialled number modification.
• Route List Selection: A more complex routing that includes up to 5 alternative
levels of route selection and includes TRS (Call Barring) level checking.
• Time List Selection: The most complex routing that determines the appropriate
route list based upon the day and time.
•Forced ARS is available on an Extension Class of Service (COS) basis.
•A special day list provides tailored ARS routing for up to 20 holidays, vacation days, etc.
•Automatic modificati on of dia lled numbers is avai lable. This inclu des de leting up to 24 p refix
digits and adding up to a 10-digit prefix and a 10-digit suffix. The modification of dialled
numbers can include pauses, Dual Tone Mult ifrequency (DTMF) conversion, itemized code
(extension number) and an authorization code. (Itemized code and authorization are not used
in some areas.)
•Up to 8 authorization codes are available.
Hardware Requirements
•N/A
Considerations
•N/A
Automatic Trunk to Trunk Transfer
Description
The System can be set to automatically transfer trunk calls out to another trunk without requiring the
call to be answered internally. This transfer may be either trunk based or extension based (i.e., call
forward outside).
Separate inputs are provided for Background Music and Music-on-Hold (MOH). This allows one
music or sound source to be used fo r backg round musi c and an other mus ic or s ound sour ce to b e used
for music on hold.
A typical advantage of this is playing a pre-recorded promotional tape to held parties (since many
may be customers) while providing a selected background music for use in the office.
Hardware Requirements
•Background music requires an SCC card (VB-44181). Both Background Music and MOH (if
using external MOH) require a sound source.
Considerations
•N/A
Battery Backup
Description
When backup batteries are installed, the System will continue to operate in the event of a power
failure. If using Battery Backup, backup batteries must be installed in each CCU.
A fully loaded system will operate at least 30 minutes on backup batteries.
Hardware Requirements
•Back-up battery unit (VB-44025)
Considerations
•Any device connected to the System but that does not derive its power from the System must
have a backup power source to operate. These devices include any System Message Detail
Recording (SMDR) (Call Logging) printer (or recorder), fax machine, answering machine,
modem, cordless telephone, etc.
Building Block Expansion Capability
Description
The System is designed to support easy expansion. Each CCU in the System supports 96 ports (12
flexible slots) as well as 2 option slots . Up to 6 CCUs ma y be in stall ed in the Sys tem for a to tal of 576
ports.
Up to 2 expansion CCUs may be connected to a base CCU. When a fourth CCU is required, another
base CCU is installed. Up to 2 expansion CCUs may be connected to the second base CCU.
This building block approach allows you to easily add equipment when needed without a major
interruption in service or a major delay.
ICX-35-700ICX (International), issu ed March/1998 25
Chapter 3. System FeaturesSection 700 - Operation
Hardware Requirements
•N/A
Considerations
•In addition to the additional CCUs and related CCU hardware/cabling required for expansion,
when the System is expanded the CPC card a nd/ or TSW car ds may need to be upgraded as well.
The CPC96 supports up to 96 ports. The CPC288 supports up to 288 ports and should be
combined with time switch card TSW288. The CPC-576 supports up to 576 ports and should be
combined with time switch card TSW576.
Built-In Voice Mail
Description
The System supports the Built-in Voice Mail. This unit assists in providing reliable, effective
communications. This is a simple device that includes an automated attendant function and can be
used to record conversations (where permitted).
The Built-in Voice Mail is easy to install. It is installed in a CCU card slot and no cabling is required.
Some of the major features include:
•Automated attendant
•Automatic recording for incoming and outgoing calls
•One-touch mail box transfer
•Mail box status display (Key Light Emitting Diode [LED] on digital telephone)
•Mail box grouping
•2-way recording
•Outside notification
•Date/time stamp
•Integrated Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) control (with large LCD telephone)
•Message light control
•Up to 254 mail boxes
•Up to 40 hours of message storage time
•Up to 16 voice ports
For more information, see the System Built-In Voice Mail With Two-way Recording Reference Manual.
The System supplies a full array of call progress ton es. These tones provide audible indicati ons of the
status of calls and include dial tone, busy tone, ringback tone, error tone, confirmation tone, and
splash tone. The complete specification for these tones may be found in Section 300 - Installation.
In addition to call progress tones, Direct Station Select (DSS) Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and the
display provide additional indication of the status of calls.
Hardware Requirements
•N/A
Considerations
•N/A
Caller ID
Description
(Note: Analog Caller ID is not available in the UK model).
A properly equipped ICX supports Caller ID, a service offered by the network telephone service
provider. The trunk sends calling number information to the ICX after the first ring. Users who have
display telephones can see Caller ID information as incoming calls ring at their extension and can
have access to previous calls via the Caller ID Call Log feature. The Caller ID number is recorded in
Call Logging.
Hardware Requirements
•Loop-start trunk card (VB-44510)
•Caller ID circuit card (VB-44513)
Considerations
•ISDN (PRI - T Point) can get calling party information.
•Caller ID service must be ordered from the local telephone operating company or the
interexchan ge carrier.
•Caller ID data is usually sent between the first and the second rings of the incoming trunk call.
The trunk may be programmed to immediately ring at the station or wa it unt il after the Caller ID
digits are received before ringing at the station. If the trunk is programmed to ring immediately,
the Caller ID digits will not display until after they are received and processed.
•Caller ID numbers may be denied from be ing sent for some callers ( priva te). Some l ong dist ance
carriers may not provide Caller ID data (out of area).
•Caller ID only support the single format (number only). Multiple format (number and name) is
not supported.

Caller ID Alpha Tagging (Not Available in USA)
CPC-96, CPC-288, and CPC-576 Version 3.0
Description
If the received Caller ID phone number matches any number in the System Speed Dials (SSD)
(SSD000-SSD199), then the associated SSD name can be displayed as the Caller ID information
instead of the Caller ID phone number. Alternatively, the Direct Dial Inward (DDI) name may be
displayed instead.
Hardware Requirements
•Loop-start trunk card (VB-44510)
•Caller ID circuit card (VB-44513)
Considerations
•The system may be set to display C aller ID in one of two pri orities as follows:
Priority Choice 1
• CID name (future feature)
• Alpha tagging if matched
• DDI name
Priority Choice 2
• DDI name
• CID name (future feature)
• Alpha tagging if matched
•Currently Caller ID only s upport s the s ingle format (number only). Mult iple fo rmat ( number a nd
name) is not currently available but is planned as a future feature.
•Caller ID Call Logging only shows the CID number.
Centrex/PBX Compatibility
Description
Centrex/PBX Compatibility allows the System to be connected behind centrex or PBX lines.
The System supports up to 6 ac cess c odes fo r dial ling cen trex o r a PBX. Thes e acce ss code s all ow the
System, System Message Detail Recording (SMDR) (Call Logging) output to exclude the number
dialled to reach a centrex or PBX line.
When connected behind a PBX or Centrex, T ol l Rest ri ct io n Se rvi ce (TRS) ( C al l Ba rr ing ) can be used
to restrict calls.
The System also supports transmission of a flash signal over the centrex or PBX link.
A Class of Service (COS) allows or restricts access to a group of features or functions. For instance,
an Extension COS may allow Call For warding fea tures. In the Sys tem, both extensions and trunks use
classes of service.
The System supports the following COSs for trunks and extensions :
•COS - Trunk/Tie
•COS - Ext/Ext Restriction
•COS - Extension Feature
•COS - Trunk to Trunk Restriction
Class of Service - Trunk/Tie
Tie/T r unk COS allows or restr icts acces s to various features. Each tr unk is assign ed to one of 16 trunk
