Automatic Number Identification (ANI)
Automatic Number Identification (ANI) is a T1 service feature for both E&M and DID lines. Long
distance common carriers offer ANI as a feature to dial 800 and dial 900 lines. The ANI feature provides
information to an internal telephone system that identifies the telephone number of the calling party.
Businesses served by a dial 800 or dial 900 service allow any available user to answer the calls and have
their internal telephone system process the ANI information to...

Automatic Route Selection
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) allows the system to automatically select the least costly line group
available to a station to route a call. The system modifies the dialed number, if needed, to match the
selected line group. Additionally, ARS provides the costing information for the dialed call that is
reported by the station message detail accounting feature.  ARS makes routing decisions (which lines to
route a call over, if and how to modify a number, and costing information)...

Restrict ARS Hookflash (Automatic Route Selection, Hookflash Restriction)
This feature enhances ARS response to hookflash action on an outside line when that action is followed
by dialed digits. With the feature enabled, the system delays response to a hookswitch flash until after the
ARS feature verifies as valid all subsequent dialed digits. With the feature disabled, the system sends the
hookflash over the line without waiting for the ARS feature to verify the validity of subsequent dialed
digits....

to a quantity of other telephones. This feature eliminates the need to individually program every station
class of service, line and/or button function.

Caller ID
DXPPluscaller ID provides relevant caller information (caller’s name and number, for example) to any
called LCD  stations. The installer can program any C.O. line as a caller ID line. The caller ID
information is also reflected in the SMDA printout. The DXP Plus Caller ID feature package requires the
use of a CID08 unit—hardware designed to support the Bell 202 Caller ID signal transmitted by the
central office.  The CID08 supports up to 8 CO lines (you can install up to 8 CID08 units), for a...

Call Forward—Busy Or Ring No-Answer, All Or Personal
Station users can forward the calls that normally ring at their telephones to another telephone for
answering. They can forward just their prime line and intercom calls or forward every call that rings at
their telephone. Users can control whether the calls forward immediately or after a preprogrammed
number of rings (this is true of busy calls as well, which ring in a subdued manner) that is set by the
programmer. When the telephone is set to ring...

Call Forward Outside System
The Call Forward Outside System (CFOS) feature allows the system to forward incoming or transferred line calls to
telephone numbers that are outside the system. The CFOS feature forwards calls over any available outbound lines
or line groups and does not use any conference circuits. Since CFOS involves outbound calls, those calls are subject
to all line access, toll restriction, and automatic route selection restrictions normally imposed on the users. Any calls
that CFOS can...
