Answering a Call Using the Data Device
FEATURES
5
51.16 If an extension number is dialed and that station is in do-not-disturb, the user will hear
do-not-disturb tone through the data device’s speaker (if it has one). Whenever continuous
busy, reorder, or do-not-disturb tone is sent by the system, the Inactivity Alarm timer is regis-
tered. The button is lit while the tones are present. If the timer expires before the data
device hangs up, off-hook alarm tone is sent, and the button flutters fast until the
device hangs up. Note that once the button begins fluttering, the voice path on the
phone attached to the data port module is released and can be used for other call processing
applications. (Note that the absence of a lamp, or of a button, will not interfere with
these timing parameters, but the user will not have a visual indication of them.)
51.17 If the data port places an outside call, the system performs toll restriction using the data
port’s class-of-service. If an illegal extension number or access code is dialed, the user will
hear reorder tone through the data device’s speaker. (Call cost information for a data call
appears on an associated phone only when the data call is connected to a phone’s primary
voice path.)
51.18 If an attempt is made to initiate a data call from the data device when the required voice
path is not available (the secondary voice path of the attached phone is busy), the data device
will not receive dial tone. The activity on the phone’s secondary voice path continues uninter-
rupted.
51.19 To place a data call using the data device:
1. Following the procedures of your data device’s communications software, instruct the
device to come off hook and dial the extension number, or a trunk access code and the
telephone number, of the data device to be called. The call will be processed and will be
automatically connected when answered. The button is lit until dialing is com-
pleted, then it flutters.
2. Operate the data device according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
C. ANSWERING A CALL USING THE DATA DEVICE
51.20 The data device can be called directly (intercom or outside calls) and receive transferred
calls via its extension number.
51.21 When a call is placed directly or transferred to the device’s intercom number, the data
device will receive ring signal. If the data device does not have auto-answer capability, the user
must manually answer the call using the data device. (Transferring a call to the data device
using the DATA button places the call without providing ring voltage to the data device. The
user must manually cause the data device to answer the call.)
51.22 While ring signal is being sent to the data device, the button flashes. As soon as
the data device answers, the button flutters. The button continues to flutter for the
duration of the call, indicating that the data path is in use but may be picked up by associated
phones.
51.23 To answer a data call using the data device:
1. When the data device receives a call, the button flashes on the associated
phone(s). If the data device does not have an auto-answer modem, follow the proce-
dures for the data device’s communications software and instruct the device to answer
the incoming call. The button flutters while the call is in progress.
2. Operate the data device according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
