Comdial Dsu II Digital Telephone System Instructions Manual

							3.12 Direct Inward Station Dialing (DISD)
The DISD feature allows an external party to call an intercom station directly without assistance by the
attendant. The system must receive the DISD call on a line that you have programmed to allow this
feature. You can program any line to be a DISD line for both the normal mode of operation and the night
transfer (of ringing) mode of operation.
You can program the number of rings that the system allows on a DISD line. If you set a large number of
rings, stations that have a line appearance for the DISD line have time to handle the call in a regular
manner before the system takes control of the call. If you wish to dedicate a line for DISD use, it is a good
practice to set it for one ring so that the system can quickly take control of the call. By setting the number
of rings to 0, you can disable the line for DISD use.
You can program the amount of time the system allows for a DISD caller to dial an extension number.
You can also program the DISD assist station that will answer calls not completed during the dial time
limit.
It is a good practice for you to connect a music source to the system to let callers know they have not been
disconnected during a camp-on situation when the DISD feature is controlling the call.
You should make a record in Chapter 4 of all programming decisions that you make—it will help you
keep track of what you have done and will help you troubleshoot any problem that might arise later.
NOTE: A lighted LED next to the programming button for the selection indicates the current
configuration. When a single button provides a toggle (on/off) action, the lighted LED
indicates the active feature.
The first step in any programming sequence is to enter the base level.  Once in this mode, you can dial the
feature code for any desired configuration. Enter the base level with the following procedure:
pressINTERCOMthen dialS# 746S. When you want to end the programming, press theSPEAKER
button to end the programming procedure and return the system to normal operation.

							3.13 Data Printer Service
When you connect a data printer to the system, the system automatically prints the station message detail
record (SMDR) for the entire system without any programming or user intervention.
You call also command the data printer to print partial or complete printouts of the configuration data for
the system. While you are using the printer to print the configuration data or SMDA information, the
system temporarily halts the SMDR printout although it continues to collect the SMDR data. You should
note, however, that if it logs more than two calls for any one line, call records may be lost.
NOTE:A lighted LED next to the programming button for the selection indicates the current
configuration. When a single button provides a toggle (on/off) action, the lighted LED

							3.14 Voice Mail Interface
The digital telephone system supports the use of a voice mail system connected to the common
equipment’s station ports through the JM008 expansion module or the ATI-D analog terminal interface
device. The JM008 is an industry-standard telephone station module that supplies eight IST ports. The
ATI-D is a multipurposeon-premiseaccessory that has dual circuits to allow a 2-port system to interface
to two digital station ports. Two ATI-D devices are needed to interface 4-port systems.
In addition to the required programming task of identifying the station ports as voice mail ports, there are
several other programming considerations associated with voice mail operation that are optional for use
as needed.
You should make a record in Chapter 4 of all programming decisions that you make—it will help you
keep track of what you have done and will help you troubleshoot any problem that might arise later.
NOTE: A lighted LED next to the programming button for the selection indicates the current
configuration. When a single button provides a toggle (on/off) action, the lighted LED
indicates the active feature.
The first step in any programming sequence is to enter the base level. Once in this mode, you can dial the
feature code for any desired configuration. Enter the base level with the following procedure:
pressINTERCOMthen dialS# 746S. When you want to end the programming, press theSPEAKER
button to end the programming procedure and return the system to normal operation.
NOTE: Some features only apply to specific Comdial voice mail systems (that is, ExecuMail or
V.V.P.). If you are using a different voicemail system, you may have to perform additional
programming steps to make these features operational.

							3.14.1 Voice Mail Port
Assign The Voice Mail Port
Description:When you connect the voice mail equipment to a common equipment station port either
through an IST interface or directly to the port (depending upon the type of voice mail
equipment you are using), you must use thisassign voice mail portfeature to enable the
station port as a voice mail port. This feature only applies to voice mail systems
supported by Comdial’s proprietary DTMF integration. Once you perform this step, the
station port will only emit DTMF tones (it will not emit INTERCOM tones or ring-back
tones).
NOTE:When you are interfacing voice mail equipment through an ATI-D device
and you later replace the ATI-D with a proprietary digital multiline
telephone, the system automatically disables the port as a voice mail port;
however, if you disconnect the voice mail equipment from the ATI-D and
replace it with a model 2500 telephone, you must reprogram the station port
so that it is no longer programmed as a voice mail port.
To Program:1. Dial53.“STATION FEATURES”
2. Dial32.“VOICE MAIL PORT ”

							Assign Ringing For Automatic Attendant Operation
Description:With its automatic attendant feature, the voice mail system automatically answers any
line that is ringing at a voice mail port. As a default, the system automatically enables
ringing line preference for any port that you have identified as a voice mail port. You
must choose a ringing assignment for the lines that you have assigned to the voice mail
ports before the voice mail system can provide the automatic attendant feature.

Assign The Voice Mail Stations To Hunt Group
Description:You must assign all voice mail ports to a circular hunt group to take advantage of that
feature’s multiple-port interface capability. Make a circular hunt group by linking all
voice mail ports to one another and then linking the last voice mail port in the hunt group
with the first voice mail port in the hunt group. For example, with the voice mail system
properly connected to station ports 014, 015, 016, and 017, place port 014 in a hunt group
and link 015 to it, then place 015 in a hunt group and link 016 to it, then place 016 in a
hunt group and link 017 to it, and finally place 017 in a hunt group and link 014 to it to
complete the circle. With this arrangement, a call will first try to ring at port 014, then try
port 015 and so forth until it tries all four voice mail ports.
To make this hunt group completely functional, you must also assign call forwarding for
both ring no-answer and busy calls to the voice mail ports.
