The PERCEPTION electronic business communications system is registered in accordance
with the provisions of Part 68 of the Federal
CommunicationsCommission’sRules
Regulations.
The Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) has established rules which permit the
PERCEPTION electronic business communications
system to be connected directly to the telephone
network. Connection points are provided by the
telephone company-connections for this type of
customer-provided equipment will not be pro-
vided on party lines or coin lines.
and
Before connecting a PERCEPTION system to
the telephone network, the telephone company
must be provided with the following:
A. Your telephone number
. The FCC registration number
7~443-~F-~)
C.
The ringer equivalence number
4.O(DC)
D. The USOC jack required
items B and C are also indicated on the equipment
label.
You must notify the telephone company upon
final disconnection of your equipment.
(RJ21X)
(BF287N-
1.2B(AC)/
If a PERCEPTION system is malfunctioning,
it may also be disrupting the telephone network.
The system should be disconnected until the
problem can be determined and repaired. If this
is not done, the telephone company may tem-
porarily disconnect service.
atibi
The telephone company may make changes
in its technical operations and procedures. If
such changes affect the compatibility or use of
a PERCEPTION system, the telephone company
is required to give adequate notice of the changes.
Warning: -This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions manual, may cause interference to radio
communications. It has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class A computing
device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when operated
in a commercial environment. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
interference; in which case, the users, at his own
expense, will be required to take whatever measures
may be required to correct the interference.

Allows stations to access and use a

provides five paging zones, which may be
accessed individually or all together.
Accesses a Common Control Switching Arrange-
ment (CCSA) network for network inward
dialing to the system, direct outward dialing to
the CCSA network, and other features similar
to those provided on the public exchange
network.
The system provides 16 classes of service
which may be assigned to stations to allow
or deny access to features.
a toll call is detected by system analysis of the

Three types of ringing are provided to distinguish among station-to-station calls,
to-station calls and automatic callbacks.
Flexible Numbering:

Station directory numbers, as well as trunk
/ J,
and special service access codes, may be assigned
*
in accordance with the numbering plan desired
by the customer.
immediate Ringing:
Ringing occurs at a called station as soon as
it is determined to be idle. There is no delay
caused by waiting for the ringing cycle.
Intercept:
Calls that cannot be completed because of
system restrictions or dialing errors are intercepted and routed to either the attendant or
to overflow tone depending on the type of
call.
Line Lockout:
Stations that do not hang up at the end of a
call, or that go off-hook and do not complete
dialing within a predetermined length of time,
are released from the common equipment.
Multiple Console Operation:
Two attendant consoles,, may be used with
PERCEPTION.
Multiple Trunk Groups:
PERCEPTION can accommodate up to 16
trunk groups.
Music-on-hold and Camp-on:
A standard interface allows connection to a
customer-provided music source. When music
is provided in the system, it is connected to
all calls placed in the hold or camp-on condition by a station or the attendant.
Night Service-Fixed:
When the system is in the night service mode,
incoming trunk calls are routed to preselected
stations.
Night Service-Flexible:
Allows the attendant to assign trunks to
stations for night service. During night service,
incoming calls on these trunks will be routed
to stations assigned by the attendant.

Night Service-Universal:
Trunks not otherwise assigned by Fixed or
Flexible Night Service will ring a common
bell or chime to indicate an incoming call.
Any station can answer the call by dialing a
specific access code.
Remote Access to Services:
Allows a user outside the system to
the system services via an exchange network
connection. The user dials a preselected DDD
number to connect to the system and then
dials a 3-digit authorization code. The user
may then make any call as if the user were
a system station. This service is provided only
when signalling is on a DTMF basis.
Remote Administration/Maintenance:
System will interface with a standard modem
to allow administration and diagnostic software routines to be accessed from a software
location.

Tone-to-dial Pulse Conversion:
DTMF signals from 2500 telephones are
automatically converted to rotary dial pulses
for transmission to a rotary dial central office.
Traffic Measurement:
The system provides traffic information, such
as peg counts and usage, to a terminal or printer.
Uniform Distribution Wiring:
Since PERCEPTION employs a
tronic key telephone, conventional key equipment is not required. It is possible, therefore,
to prewire an installation site with 2 or 3-pair
cable without concern for the future configuration of the system.
