Line or Trunk Idle 2
Since these procedures require the line or trunk to be idle
only
at the instant of
programming, the line or trunk is not forced idle. The following procedures can be
performed only when the line or trunk being programmed is idle:
■ Identify loudspeaker paging line jack
■ Assign trunks to pools
■ Specify incoming or outgoing DID- or tie-trunk type
■ Specify tie-trunk direction
■ Specify tie-trunk E&M signal
Extension Forced Idle 2
When an extension is forced idle, no calls can be made or received on that
extension. The following procedures can be performed only when the extension
being programmed is idle:
■ Assign call restrictions
■ Assign pool dial-out restrictions
■ Copy extension assignments
■ Assign lines, trunks, or pools to extensions
■ Assign labels to a personal directory
■ Use centralized telephone programming
When the extension is forced idle, the following occurs: Multiline telephone users
hear a reminder tone that indicates the telephone cannot be used; display
telephone users see the message
:DLW6\VWHP%XV\; single-line telephone
users do not hear a dial tone.
Forced Idle Reminder Tone 2
The forced idle reminder tone is a high-low “door-phone” tone 400 ms of
667 Hz tone followed by 400 ms of 571 Hz tone. The tone is provided under the
following circumstances:
■ At the extension, to remind the user that the system or the extension is in
the forced idle state
■ At the programming console or at a PC running SPM, to remind the system
manager that the system (or at least one extension) is in the forced idle
state because of administrative activity
In Release 1.1 and higher of the communications system, forced idle reminder
tones occur every 20 seconds. You can adjust the volume of these tones with the
volume control on the system console.
