6.9. IO/ST Ringing Per PhaseDescription:
While the installer typically connects one industry-standard telephone per IST station port, he or
she can connect two industry-standard telephones per IST station port; however, they will share
the same assigned intercom number. When he or she installs one telephone per port, you must
set the IST ringing per phase feature to 32.When the installer places two telephones at any IST
station port, you must change the IST ringing per phase feature to 8. A setting of 32 allows up
to 48 industry-standard telephones per cabinet (main cabinet and expansion cabinet) to ring
simultaneously. A setting of 16 reduces this simultaneous ringing total to 24 telephones per
cabinet. This programming selection is on a system-wide basis. See Section 7.2.35 for other
industry-standard telephone programming features.

this station is an attendant position station; however, the operator station can be any station in
the system. In other words, the operator station does not have to be an attendant position station
(Section 7.2.30) if you do not want it to be one.

6.9.14Line Disconnect Automatic Camp-OnDescription:
If a user at a current station selects a line that a previous station has released from busy but the
system has not yet returned to idle, the system arranges for the current station to camp-on to the
line before the system makes the line idle. After the system makes the line idle, it immediately
connects the camped-on station to the line. With this feature disabled, a station can not select a
line until after the system has returned the line to idle. Refer to Section 
8.1.10 to set the time
that the system waits before it makes a line idle after a station releases it from busy.Programming:

6.9.15Automatic Station RelocationDescription:
The system will automatically recognize a particular station should someone relocate it to a
different station port. After being installed at a new port location, a relocated station will
provide the same class of service parameters and station features that it provided at its original
port location. Also, the relocated station will respond to the same personal intercom number that
it responded to at its original port location. A relocated station prompts the user to take action to
either accept its original programming or accept the programming at the new port. If the user
takes no action, the station assumes the parameters and personal intercom number that is
determined by the 
Section 6.9.16 programming procedure.
Consider these following points when you enable station relocation:
ti If someone does a station relocation, you must save the database programming to make
the relocation permanent (Section 1.6).
/ This relocation feature only applies to digital telephones.
4 Users must ensure that the vacated port remains unused until they complete a relocation
If someone connects a telephone to the vacated port before users complete a
relocation, the relocated telephone will not retain its original programming.
d When the user accept the original programming for the new port, the vacated port assumes
the programming currently assigned to the new port (that is, a parameter exchange takes
place between the vacated port and the new port).
4 If a DSS/ElLF console was assigned to the telephone at its original location, the console
assignment follows the telephone to the new location even though the console is no longer
located physically near the telephone. If you relocate the console, you must connect it to the
desired staion port and use the 
Section 7.4 and Section 7.2.26 procedures to program it
for use at the new port.
(/ The relocation feature also applies to relocated digital telephone boards, however, the
installer must ensure that the vacated port remains unused until the relocation is complete.
All stations connected to the relocated circuit board show the relocation prompt.
Programming:1. Press CONTROL T for main menu.
2, From main menu, select systems and press ENTER.
3. From system menu, select system parameters and press ENTER.
4. From system parameters menu, type item number for feature and press ENTER.
5. Press SPACE bar for feature setting and press ENTER to accept setting.
6. When finished, press ESCAPE twice.
7. Type y to accept changes, n to reject them, or r to resume editing and press ENTER.
Operation:For LCD speakerphone with interactive buttons,
- relocate telephone and note Keep Yes /No display,
- press YES to keep original programming or press NO to default the station parameters.
For LCD speakerphone without interactive buttons,
- relocate telephone and note Keep display and flashing HOLD light,
- press HOLD to keep original programming or press # to default station parameters.
For Non-LCD telephones,
- relocate telephone and note flashing HOLD light,
- press HOLD to keep original programming or press #to default station parameters.
For all digital telephone types,
- relocate telephone and take no action for 10 seconds,
- relocated telephone assumes parameters determined by Section 6.9.16 programming.
Remember, station relocation only works with digital telphones.

6.9.16Defaulf Relocaiion ResponseDescription:
When someone relocates a digital telephone from one station port to another port, the relocated
telephone prompts the user to take action to determine the station parameters. The user can
either accept the parameters from the station’s original port or accept those from the new port.
He or she has 10 seconds to make the choice. If the user takes no action, the station assumes the
parameters determined by this programming procedure. If you set the programming choice to
YES, the station assumes the parameters from the original station port. If you set the
programming choice to NO, the station assumes the parameters from the new port.
Programming:1. Press CONTROL T for main menu.

6.9.17Ring Back ToneDescription:
By default, when callers call an intercom party, they receive an intercom ring back tone to tell
them that the called intercom station is ringing. Also, when callers call over the CO line, they
receive a CO-style ring back tone to tell them that the distant CO telephone is ringing. Some
system users find intercom ring back tone confusing. If you encounter this situation with your
users, you can take this programming action to assign CO-style ring back tone to intercom calls.
Programming:1. Press CONTROL T for main menu.

6.9.19Services DTMF Highway
Description:The DXP Plus system allows the use of on-premise industry-standard telephones. To support
the DTMF dialing of these industry standard telephones, the services board provides on-board
DTMF receiver circuitry. This circuitry supports dialing of one industry-standard telephone at a
time. If you intend to support a population of industry-standard telephones that will generate a
large volume of outgoing call traffic, you must install one or more DTMF receiver cards to
provide additional DTMF receivers for the telephones. You have three choices as to where to
install DTMF receiver cards.
1. One card to top position on the services board.
2. Up to three cards to each expansion cabinet’s interface boards
3. Up to four cards on an auxiliary board
You can add two additional cards to the lower two positions on the services board and use this
programming action to enable their use. If you add these two cards and take this programming
action, you can only add one card to the lower cabinet interface board instead of the three cards
normally allowed there.

install up to two communications cards in the lower card slots on the services board, the
expansion cabinet interface boards, and the main cabinet’s auxiliary board. You can make up to
16 serial data ports available by installing communications cards in every possible location.
You must take this programming action to match the port number of these serial data ports
(11-18) with the installation location that you choose for the communications cards. Also refer
to Section 6.4.2 for instructions for programming the serial data port parameters
