System Forced Idle 1
When the entire system is forced idle, no calls can be made or received. The
following procedures can be performed only when the entire system (every line
and every extension) is idle:
■ Select system mode
■ Identify system operator positions
■ Renumber system
■ Renumber boards
■ Identify extensions with voice signal pairs for the Voice Announce to Busy
feature
■ Identify extensions that need voice and data features
■ Restore system programming information
■ Identify the Music On Hold jack
When the system is forced idle, the following occurs: Multiline telephone users
hear a signal, indicating that the telephone cannot be used; display telephone
users see the message
:DLW6\VWHP%XV\; single-line telephone users do not
hear a dial tone.
Line or Trunk Idle 1
Because these procedures require the line or trunk to be idle
only
at the instant of
programming, the line or trunk is not forced idle (as described in the previous
paragraph). The following procedures can be performed only when the line or
trunk being programmed is idle:
■ Identify loudspeaker paging extension jack
■ Assign trunks to pools
■ Specify incoming or outgoing DID or tie-trunk type
■ Specify tie-trunk direction
■ Specify tie-trunk E&M signal
