If switch F is set to Square, switch G may beset to either position without having any effect on the system. ● ● If you have decided to arrange your pooled system so that people can access line pools directly by simply touching the associated button on a voi[...]

CHANGING YOUR SYSTEM LATER Basic changes to the way your system operates—that is, changes to the switch set- tings on the control unit—may erase important system administration that is now in place. To change switch settings, turn to "Setting Your Control Unit," page 22, and follow the instructions for the switch you want to reset. Si[...]

ENTERING AND LEAVING ADMINISTRATION MODE Administration mode is an operating state of your control unit and of your administrator/attendant console that is very different from their everyday state of operation. With the system in administration mode, you are able to set up or change systemwide options or features. When you finish using the administ[...]

SPECIFYING TOUCH-TONE OR ROTARY DIALING When your system is installed, it is set to generate Touch-Tone signals. If some of your lines are rotary, you need to reset your system accordingly. If you have rotary lines or if you are not sure what type of lines you have, follow the procedure below. If all your lines are Touch-Tone, turn to the next page[...]

SETTING UP SQUARE SYSTEMS In square systems, individual lines appear on separate buttons at voice terminals. If you want a standard square system, you will give all your voice terminals access to the same outside lines and assign the lines to the same buttons at every voice terminal. If you prefer a customized square system, you can assign differen[...]

Order in Which the System Assigns Lines in a Square System 28[...]

If you are setting up a customized square system for the first time, you should begin by removing all existing lines from each voice terminal in your system. If the primary attendant needs to have access to all general-use lines, remove only those lines that you are reserving for personal use from the administrator/attendant console. Follow the pro[...]

6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each voice terminal to which you want to assign lines. NOTE: If you are setting up a customized square system, try to admin- ister groups of voice terminals that share the same line assignments at the same time. If you plan to assign a personal line to a voice terminal, be sure not to assign the line to any voice ter[...]

SETTING UP POOLED SYSTEMS In pooled systems, you group similar types of outside lines into a pool that people can access with a single button on their voice terminals. For example, you might group five local lines into one pool, three in-state WATS lines into a second pool, and two cross-country WATS lines into a third pool. This would free up seve[...]

40 Customizing with Additional System Options Once basic administration is completed, you can assign additional options to your system. The chart below summarizes the procedures described in this section. You may not need to perform all of them to meet your immediate business needs. Read the-description of each procedure first to see if it applies [...]

ASSIGNING CALL RESTRICTIONS TO VOICE TERMINALS When your system is first installed, all voice terminals can be used to place inter- com, local, and toll calls. If you want, you can restrict selected voice terminals to in- tercom or local calls only. If those restrictions are too extreme, you can setup allowed lists, which contain groups of numbers [...]

Assigning Outward and Toll Call Restrictions You may want to restrict some voice terminals to intercom or local calls only if, for example, these employees do not need to make outside or long distance business calls. You probably also want to restrict any voice terminal located in a public area such as a lobby. The procedure for assigning different[...]

7. Refer to the Voice Terminal Configuration Form for this user to see what restrictions you plan to assign to this voice terminal. Then touch Call Rstr until the green light beside it shows the code for the call restric- tions you want this voice terminal to have. Each successive touch gives you one of the following codes: Steady green on = unrest[...]

Setting Up Allowed Lists Call restriction by allowed lists adds a group of permitted numbers to the calling range of an outward- or toll-restricted voice terminal. Permitted numbers consist of an area code, an exchange code (the first three digits of a 7-digit telephone number), both codes, or an emergency number such as 911. For example, a custome[...]

Assigning Allowed-List Call Restrictions Once you have created an allowed list, you can assign it to any voice terminal. Follow the procedure below to assign allowed-list call restrictions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. If you have not already done so, enter administration mode by follow- ing the boxed instructions on page 25. Touch Adm Misc. The lights [...]

ADMINISTERING AUTOMATIC ROUTE SELECTION (ARS) To setup Automatic Route Selection, you, the system administrator, must determine which of your line pools provide the lowest cost, most efficient dialing methods for particular types of calls. For example, you may have several WATS line pools that provide the most economical means of making calls to di[...]

You administer ARS by developing a group of ten tables like the sample table below. TABLE 1 AREA CODE/EXCHANGE 0) — 1) — 2) — 3) — 4) — 5) — 6) — 7 — 8) — 9) — POOL OTHER DIGITS 0) — 1) — 2) — 3) — 4) — 5) — Tables O through 7 consist of three sections. The Area Code/Exchange section at the top of each table contains[...]

To get the maximum benefit from ARS, it is important to consider the calling patterns of people in your business and the relative costs of calls placed on different lines in your system. For example, Primo Foods is a northern New Jersey (area code 201) firm that distributes its specialty meat products in the United States and Canada. Primo has six [...]

Tables 0 and 1 look like this: TABLE O AREA CODE/EXCHANGE POOL TABLE 1 AREA CODE/EXCHANGE POOL OTHER DIGITS Next, Frank sets up routing patterns for in-state calls (area codes 609 and 201). Since employees don’t dial 201 when calling within their own area code, separate tables are required for calls to these two area codes. Frank begins by enteri[...]

Next, Frank considers how best to route calls to numbers in area code 201. Local lines are the least expensive method for making calls to the 20 exchanges in the im- mediate area, and all other calls should be made on the in-state WATS lines. Frank sets up Tables 3 and 4 to establish a routing method for calls to Prime’s local ex- changes. He lis[...]

Next, Frank considers the areas outside the Northeastern. United States to which Primo employees make calls. The salespeople frequently tail the firm’s Canadian distributors. WHIZ is the only company-approved method for these calls. Frank lists the nine Canadian area codes that the salespeople call in the Area Code/Exchange section of Table 5. He[...]

The routing patterns set up in Tables 0 through 5 and in the default tables meet all Prime’s current needs, so Frank leaves Tables 6 and 7 blank for now. Use the form for Automatic Route Selection tables provided in the Appendix to com- plete a similar set of ARS tables for your system. It is important to prepare these tables carefully, so that y[...]

Administering Pool Number and Other Digits Sections of ARS Tables To administer the Pool Number and Other Digits sections of each table, follow the procedure below. Tables 0 through 9 contain specific pool numbers, plus any access numbers required for an alternate long distance company. Your system automatically places 9, the number for the main po[...]

Activating and Deactivating ARS To activate ARS, dial the 5-character code #3041. If you hear a beep, ARS cannot be activated. Go to the control unit and make sure that switch F is set to Pooled (up) and switch G is set to Dial Access (up), then try again. To deactivate ARS, dial the 5-character code #3040. When ARS is deactivated, voice terminal u[...]

ASSIGNING VOICE TERMINALS TO GROUPS FOR GROUP PAGE It maybe convenient to page a particular group of employees such as department heads, committee members, or a project team without disturbing the entire staff. You can use the Group Page feature to page up to ten people through their voice terminal speakers. You do not need an external paging syste[...]

ESTABLISHING NIGHT SERVICE If your system has extra-alerting devices such as bells or flashing lights, you can use them to provide Night Service for your business when the person who usually answers calls is not on duty. Three extra-alerting devices can be connected to the optional Services Module in the control unit to alert people to incoming cal[...]
