Data hunt groups are not practical where 2B data is required, because two calls
must arrive at the destination video system, and data hunt groups distribute the
two calls that make up a 2B data call to two different data hunt group members.
Account Code Entry Account Code Entry can be entered for calls made by digital data
workstations.The account code must be entered before the telephone
number.
Authorization Code Data calls can use authorization calls. If Account Code Entry is also used,
the authorization code must be entered after the account code.
Automatic Route
Selection
Data calls can be made using ARS. To make calls using ARS,
communications devices simply dial the ARS dial-out code (usually
)
followed by the telephone number. The data calls
must
be routed through
ARS pools that have only PRI, NI-1 BRI, and/or Switched 56 T1 data
lines. To make a 2B data call, the user must access two separate lines.
Barge-In Data calls cannot be barged into.
Call Waiting Call waiting does not work with data calls. The call appears to wait but
does not return to the extension when it becomes available. This feature
should be disabled at data extensions.
Callback Automatic Callback should be disabled for digital data extensions.
Camp-On Data and video calls cannot be camped on.
Conference Conference does not function with data calls.
Coverage individual Coverage is not recommended for 2B data calls. Because a
coverage receiver can have only one Cover button for each coverage
sender, covered 2B data calls are received only as 1B data calls at the
coverage receiver. The second call also continues to ring at the coverage
sender.
Coverage delays do not apply to data calls. Calls ring immediately.
Directories Digital communications devices cannot make use of Extension, Personal,
or System Directories.
Do Not Disturb Digital communications devices can activate Do Not Disturb by dialing the
virtual button number (for example
) of the Do Not Disturb button.
Forward and
Follow Me
Digital communications devices can forward calls by dialing the
associated feature code. Inside calls can be answered either at the
forwarding device or the destination terminal adapter. Outside calls,
however, are only answered by the forwarding device.
Hold Data calls cannot be put on hold.
Messaging Messaging features are not available for data extensions.
Multi-Function
Module
An MFM cannot be used with a digital communications device.
