							7.20 Using The IMIST Module
Impact SCS8212S and 8212N telephones equipped with the optional
IMIST module can support an IST device (modem, FAX machine,
industry-standard telephone, etc.) in addition to the telephone.
Depending on system programming, you can use the IST device to make
outgoing calls and receive incoming calls.
The functionality of the IMIST module depends on the type of system
you are using and the type of digital station board and memory board
your system has. (See your installer for complete details.)
•The IMIST module will function on a DXP system with the
appropriate digital station board, but the IMIST module will not
have its own extension number and will not function
simultaneously with the speakerphone.
•On a DXPPlussystem, the IMIST module will function
simultaneously with the speakerphone and have its own extension
number if your system has the appropriate digital station board and
memory board. If your system does not have the optional enhanced
memory board, the IMIST module will function like the one on the
DXP system described above.
•On an FX Series system, the speakerphone and IMIST module can
function simultaneously and the IMIST module has its own
extension number.
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.

8.1 Lighting The Message-Waiting Light
If the system installer designates your speakerphone as acentral message
deskor programs it to have message-wait originate ability, you can turn
on the message-waiting light of any other telephone. This light lets that
telephone user know that you have a message for him or her. In addition
to the message waiting light, leaving a message indication at a station
also causes the dial tone at that station to sound in a broken manner when
the station user takes his or her telephone off-hook.
The message waiting light is located in different places on the various
model telephones. On the 8124S and 8112S telephones, the message
waiting light is located above theHOLDbutton. On the 8112N
telephone, the message waiting light is located above the dial pad. The
8212S and 8212N telephones have a dedicated message waiting key and
light, labeledMESSAGE. For more information on button locations, see
pages 1–6 and 1–7.
If your telephone receives a message and has a DSS button that is
programmed to call the station that left the message, the light next to that
station’s DSS button on your telephone will flash.

speakerphone, you can respond with a variety of messages to many
calling situations. For example, if you call another station and receive a

messages, or you can send the same message each time the situation
arises. Further, you may at times receive intercom or SOHVA calls that
you decide not to answer, and you can send a message to the display of
the calling LCD speakerphone for the caller to read.

							Programming
Your Telephone
9.1 Programming For Speed Dialing
Speed dialing is a feature that lets you:
•store and dial lengthy numbers using one or two buttons,
•store and dial intercom numbers of frequently called telephones.
•store frequently used feature codes.
You can store numbers for speed dialing at the following locations:
•at any programmable button that isnot now assigned as a line
button or other featureby the system administrator or installer,
•at the keypad numbers 0–9,
•on a secondary level at either storage location.
Before you begin programming, write down the intercom or outside line
you will use and the number digits you are storing. Then, as you program
the speed dial numbers, write the first and second level numbers on your
telephone’s ID strips. You can also fill out the charts on the next page, if
you wish, for a personal record of your stored numbers.
NOTE 1: You cannot reprogram the HOLD and INTERCOM button
locations from your telephone; however, your installer, through
VDT programming, can reassign these buttons to other
locations on your telephone or to a console unit. Further, you
cannot store a feature code on a second level at any storage
location.
NOTE 2: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires
that when programming emergency numbers and(or) making
test calls to emergency numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the
reason for the call;
2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early
morning or late evening.
