							7.16 Using Toll Restriction Override
You can override one station’s toll restriction assignments with your
own toll restriction assignments by dialing a programmed four-digit
TRO code prior to dialing your desired number. When you dial this
code, the system replaces the current station’s toll restriction
requirements with those that match your home station. After entering a
TRO code at another station, you will get your own prime line or idle
line preference and its accompanying toll restriction assignment. You
then have 15 seconds to dial an outgoing call. Once you have hung up
from a call, you have 15 seconds to make another call without
re-entering your TRO code. If you transfer a TRO call or place it on
hold and pick it up at another station, the call belongs to the new
station.

							7.20 Understanding The DATA Button Light
The optional Data Interface Unit (DIU) provides connections for your
standard multiline digital telephone and an Industry Standard
Telephone (IST) device. The DIU enables you to switch between your
multiline telephone and an IST device (an industry standard telephone,
FAX machine, modem, cordless telephone, or answering machine).
When you have DIU (either local or remote) assigned to your multiline
telephone, your telephone will have a preprogrammed DATA button
labeled DATA by the system installer. The DATA LED will provide you
with the following visual feedback on the operating status of the DIU.
DATA LED DIU STATUS
Off Digital mode (multiline telephone selected)
On (green) IST device selected but not active
On (red) IST device busy
Flashing (red) IST device ringing
If the DIU has been removed or is inoperable, the DATA LED will be
off. If this occurs, plug the multiline telephone into a digital station port.
·To select the multiline telephone (DATA LED on or flashing),
1. Press the preprogrammed DATA button. If a call is in progress on
the IST device, it will transfer to the multiline telephone if the
multiline telephone is off hook or in speakerphone operation. If the
multiline telephone is on hook, the call will be dropped.
·To select the IST device (DATA LED off),
1. Press the preprogrammed DATA button. If a call is in progress on
the multiline telephone, it will transfer to the IST device if that
device is off hook. If the IST device is on hook, the call will be
dropped. You can still receive visual messages via the LEDs and
LCD on your multiline telephone, even though the voice path is
routed to the IST device.
NOTE: If you transfer a line to your own multiline telephone then
press the DATA button, the IST device will ring.

							7.21 Using The IMIST Module
Impact SCS8212S-** speakerphones and 8212N-** telephones
equipped with the optional IMIST module can support an IST device
such as a modem, FAX machine, or industry-standard telephone.
Depending on system programming, the IST device may be used to
make outgoing calls and receive incoming calls.
The functionality of the IMIST module is similar to the optional Data
Interface Unit (see Section 7.20).
Functioning only on a DSU II system, the IMIST module does not have
its own extension number and does not function simultaneously with
the speakerphone.
NOTE: The IMIST module does not provide voltage to light a message
waiting light. Message waiting lights on devices plugged into
the IMIST module will not function.
If you have any other questions about IST devices, refer to
GCA70–237,Industry-Standard Telephone Station User’s Guide.
NOTE: The IMIST module has a separate power supply. The wall
transformer is a UL and CSA approved Class 2 device
operating from 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 16 watts and provides an output
of 24 Vac at 450 mA. For replacement, order Comdial P/N
DIU-PTR.
