4. Placing Calls
4.1 Internal Calls
You can place calls to other stations in the system over the Intercom. The
call will ring, or for an ICM Voice Announce call, a splash tone will be
heard. Ring or Voice Announce is normally determined by settings at the
called station but you may change this by dialing ‘#’ after placing the call.
By changing the mode, a Voice Announce call will ring or a ringing ICM call
will allow Voice Announce (toggle).
You can assign a Flex button for Direct Station Selection/Busy Lamp
Field (DSS/BLF). The DSS/BLF button allows you to call another station
with the single touch of a button. The button LED will display the other
station’s status (ON=busy, OFF=idle).
When you go off-hook, you may connect to another station or system
resource automatically. This Prime Line Preference may be immediate or
delayed allowing you to take other actions during the delay. Otherwise, you
may press another Flex button before going off-hook to override Prime
Line Preference.
If you go off-hook and take no action, Intercom dial-tone will time-out, and
after the Howler tone is received, your phone will be placed out-of-service
in Intercom Lock-Out; you then must hang-up to return the phone to an idle
state.
To place an Intercom call:
Lift the handset,
Dial the Intercom number of the desired station,
When the call is answered or the Splash tone is heard, begin speaking
with the called party.
