    OR E&M DESTINATION 
    NOTE: There may be some reduction in voice volume 
    when an outside call is transferred to an outside tele- 
    phone number depending on the quality of the trunks be- 
    inguscd. 
    16.9 When a trunk is being used by either outside 
    party, the duration of an outside call that is transferred to 
    outside telephone numbers is limited by the Unsuper- 
    vised CO timer. When this timer expires, the outside 
    parties hear a burst of dial tone. They may then press any 
    MMP key (before the SL Set Dial Initiation timer ex- 
    pires) to reset the timer. Ifthe timer is not reset, the unsu- 
    pervised call recalls the primary attendant. If the 
    attendant does not answer the recall before the Aban- 
    doned Call timer expires, the call is disconnected by the 
    system. 
    NOTE: While this system is designed to be reasonably 
    secure against CO trunk misuse by outside callers, there 
    is no implied warranty that it is invulnerable to unautho- 
    rized intrusions. Ifthe central office does not provide su- 
    pervision and disconnect the call when one party hangs 
    up, it is possible for a caller to remain connected to a CO 
    trunk circuit. If this happens, and the caller begins dial- 
    ing, the call could be placed through the 416/832 System 
    and would then be billed to the system’s owner. The sys- 
    tem cannot check this type of call for toll restriction and 
    may not register the call in SMDR. This problem could 
    arise when a call is connected to a station, when a call is 
    in an unsupervised conference, when a call is forwarded 
    or transferred to the public network, or when DISA is 
    used for placing outgoing calls. 
    16.10 
    To TRANSFER A CALL To AN OUlXIDE IELEPHONE 
    NUMBER OR E&MDESliW~ON: 
    (1) Keyset: 
    While on an outside call, press the 2FR key. 
    Or press the SPCL key and enter the Transfer 
    CO Call feature code (345). While on an intenzom call, press the SPCL 
    key and enter the Transfer Intercom Call fea- 
    ture code (346). 
    Single-Line Set: While on a call, press the 
    FLASH key (hookflash) and enter the Transfer 
    CO Call feature code (345) or the Transfer Inter- 
    com Call feature code (346). 
    (2) Select an outgoing trunk group or E&M trunk 
    group, and continue to the next step. If you hear a 
    busy signal, select another trunk group or camp 
    on and wait for a trunk. Or, return to the caller as 
    follows: 
    Keyset: Press the fluttering call key or individu- 
    al trunk key for an outside call; for an outside or 
    intercom call, press the XPR key twice (or press 
    the SPCL key once and enter the Transfer Call 
    feature code [345] twice).

    phone number. 
    If using an E&Utrunk.- Do one of the following: 
    a. 
    b. 
    C. 
    If you hear ringing, wait for the other tele- 
    phone system to answer. Depending on how 
    the call is answered, ask to be transferred to 
    the desired station or outside telephone num- 
    ber or dial the extension number or trunk ac- 
    cess code. 
    If you hear dial tone and wish to tran.$er the 
    call to an ertension number on the other tele- 
    phone sysrem, dial the desired extension 
    number. 
    If you hear dial tone and wish to transfer the 
    call to an outside telephone munbex dial the 
    other telephone system’s trunk access code 
    and the desired telephone number. 
    (4) One of the following occurs: 
    a. If answererl, amtounce the call. Hang up, 
    press another call key or individual trunk key, 
    or press the IC key to complete the transfer. 
    b. Ifthenumberisbusyorthe~isnoa~~re-

    17. REVERSE TRANSFER AND GROUP 
    CALL PICK-UP 
    17.1 Calls ringing or recalling at a station, a hunt 
    group, or a transfer-to-park location can be picked up at 
    any other station, using these features. Calls on hold can 
    also be picked up from stations and from transfer-to- 
    park locations. 
    A. REVERSETRANSFER 
    17.2 If 
    more than one call is ringing or holding at the 
    station, a priority list determines which call is reverse 
    transferred. Calls are selected in the following order, 
    and if more than one call of the same type is at the sta- 
    tion, the calls are picked up in the order they were re- 
    ceived: 
    1. Outside calls 
    a. direct ring-in calls 
    b. transferred and camped-on calls 
    c. recalls 
    d. calls on individual hold 
    2. Intercom calls 
    a. ringing calls (incoming, transferred, or 
    recalling) 
    b. holding calls

    THE IZIANSFER-ltMXRKLQCAllON: 
    (1) Lift the handset and enter the Reverse Transfer 
    (Call Pick-Up) feature code (4). You hear a prog- 
    ress tone. 
    (2) Dial the extension number of the station where 
    the call is ringing or holding. 
    (3) 
    Keyset: If the system is not programmed for 
    direct connection of lwerse transferred calls, 
    press the flashing call, individual trunk, or IC 
    key for a ringing call, or press the fluttering call, 
    individual trunk, or IC key for a call on hold. (For 
    outside calls that are ringing or holding, the 
    ANSWER key may be used instead.) 
    Single-Line Set: You are automatically con- 
    nected to the caller. 
    17A TOREVERSE 
    TRANSFEACALLUSlNGlHEXFRKEY 
    (-ONLY): 
    (1) To pick up a call that is ringing or holding at an- 
    other station, lift the handset and dial the exten- sion number of the station where the call is 
    ringing or holding. 
    (2) Press the XFR key (or press the SPCL key and 
    enter the Transfer CO Call feature code -345). 
    (3) If the system is notprvgrammed to automatically 
    connect lwerse transfer& calls, press the flash- 
    ing or fluttering call, individual trunk, or IC key. 
    (Par outside calls that are ringing or holding, the 
    ANSWER key may be used instead.) 
    B. GROUP CALL PICK-UP 
    17.5 
    A call ringing in to a hunt group or one of its sta- 
    tions can be picked up at any other station. Users can en- 
    ter the Reverse Transfer feature code (4) and dial a hunt 
    group’s pilot number to pick up a call that is ringing in to 
    the hunt group’s pilot number or to any station within 
    that hunt group. 
    17.6 The system follows the priority list shown below 
    to determine which call is picked up. The system fol- 
    lows the hunt group list (always beginuing with the first 
    station on the list) to check each station in the hunt group 
    and then the overflow station for one type of call at a 
    time. If there is more than one call of the same type at the 
    selected station, the call that was received by the station 
    first is picked up. Camped-on calls, holding calls, and 
    queue callbacks cannot be picked up. 
    1. Ringing outside calls 
    a. direct ring-in calls 
    b. transferred calls 
    c. recalls 
    2. Ringing intercom calls (incoming, transferred, 
    or recalling)

    Keyset: Zf the system is programmed for direct 
    connection of iwerse transfer& Cal& you are 
    immediately connected. If not, press the flashing 
    call, individual trunk, or IC key. 
    Single-Line Set: You are automatically con- 
    nected to the caller.

    18. CALL PRIVACY AND PRIVACY 
    RELEASE 
    18.1 Call Privacy restricts voice channel access to one 
    station at a time. When a voice channel is selected, no 
    other station user can gain access to the channel. How- 
    ever, access to and control of a channel can be passed to 
    another station using the Conference or Transfer fea- 
    tures. 
    18.2 In addition, the database contains an installer- 
    programmable option that can be set to enable Call Pri- 
    vacy on all trunks or to allow keyset users to join an 
    ongoing call by pressing the lit individual trunk key (see 
    PROGRAMMING, page 5-54). Single-line set users 
    cannot join calls, but keyset users can join a call that in- 
    volves a single-line station. When the system is in the 
    default state, calls on all trunks are private and any user 
    attempting to access a busy trunk will hear busy tones; 
    18.3 When the Privacy Release feature is enabled, any 
    keyset user may join an ongoing outside call by lifting 
    the handset (or pressing the SPKR key) and pressing the 
    lit individual trunk key (cannot use a call key or trunk 
    group key). Exceptions to this are established confer- 
    ence calls, data calls, calls on individual hold, DISA 
    calls, and calls forced private by the user. If desired, as 
    many as seven stations can participate in one call. When 
    a station user hangs up, only that user is disconnected; 
    all other parties remain connected. (Par an explanation 
    of feature restrictions on multi-party calls, refer to the 
    conferencing section on page 4-76.) To queue or camp 
    on to a busy individual trunk (rather than join the con- versation), a station user must remain on hook and press 
    the busy individual trunk key. 
    18.4 Even when Privacy Release is enabled system- 
    wide, an individual station user can restore call privacy 
    during an outside call by entering the private call feature 
    code or by placing the station in do-not-disturb. (Note 
    that the station must be placed in do-not-disturb during 
    the call to enable privacy; if do-not-disturb is enabled 
    beJore the call, privacy is not enabled.) The call then 
    cannot be joined by other people unless the conferenc- 
    ing feature is used. If the call is transferred or placed on 
    system hold, the privacy restore feature is cancelled. 
    Privacy is retained if the call is put on individual hold. 
    18.5 There is a programmable option that enables or 
    disables a signal tone (barge confirmation tone) that is 
    heard by the parties on the call whenever another user 
    joins the call. 
    18.6 
    To RESKME PRIKACYONA NON-PRlWlE l?RUNE 
    Keyset: While on an outside call, press the SPCL 
    key and enter the Private CO Call feature code 
    (369), or place the station in do-not-disturb by 
    pressing the DND key or pressing SPCL and 
    entering a Do-Not-Disturb feature code (370 or 
    372). 
    Single-Line: While on an outside call, press the 
    FLASH key (hookflash) and enter the Private 
    CO Call feature code (369), or place the station 
    in do-not-disturb by pressing the FXASH key 
    and entering a Do-Not-Disturb feature code (370 
    or 372).

    19. BARGE (KEYSETS ONLY) 
    19.1 Ifthe Barge feature is enabled system-wide, key- 
    set stations can be programmed (on a station-by-station 
    basis) to use the Barge feature. This permits the keyset 
    user to join an ongoing call by entering the Barge feature 
    code. Another option is available on a station-by-station 
    basis that prevents other stations from barging into calls 
    on the station. 
    19.2 only keysets can use the Barge feature to join the 
    conversation of any station (keyset or single-line set) to 
    which the keyset user may make a call. The keyset user 
    may never barge into a station that he or she could not 
    otherwise call, such as a cross-tenant station when the 
    system does not allow cross-tenant traffic. 
    19.3 A hunt group supervisor may barge on any call 
    that it can monitor; this could conceivably be a station 
    that he or she could not otherwise call. 
    19.4 Barge is not affected by do-not-disturb mode, the 
    Call Privacy and Private Call features, or ring intercom 
    always. If any of these are programmed on the receiving 
    station, Barge will override them. 
    19.5 A Barge call will be received through the second- 
    ary voice path as an off-hook voice announce call if the 
    station being called is an OHVA-enabled digital keyset, 
    lMX 12/24-line keyset, or DVK keyset and the user is 
    using the handset (using the speakerphone or a headset 
    would block the secondary voice path). Although it uses 
    the secondary voice path, Barge cm be used if OHVAis 
    not enabled system-wide; the receiving keyset does not 
    have to be programmed to receive OWA 
    19.6 A Barge call will be received as a conference 
    with the ongoing call if the secondary voice path is not 
    available or the keyset user is on one of the following 
    types of calls: 
    0 An intercom call. 
    0 A conference that does not exceed the maximum ca- 
    pacity of parties. 
    0 An outside call using the speakerphone or headset. 
    19.7 A barge cannot be completed on data calls or 
    calls on conference wait hold. Nor can a barge be com- 
    pleted if the conference resources or voice channels are 
    not available. 
    19.8 When a keyset party joins a conference call, the 
    parties in the ongoing call hear a single tone (barge con- 
    firmation tone). The call then continues as a conference. 
    19.9 
    lDJOlN(EARGE)ANONW~GCALLFROMAK%YSiX: 
    If the rreceiving station does not have an avail- 
    able secondary voicepath: When placing an in- 
    tercom call or while monitoring a call, if you 
    hear busy signals press SPCL and enter the Barge 
    feature code (397). The parties in the ongoing 
    call hear a single tone and you are conferenced 
    with all parties. 
    If the receiving station has an available second- 
    ary voice path: When you hear busy signals 
    while placing an intercom call, press SPCL and 
    enter the Barge feature code (397). You are con- 
    nected to the keyset user through the secondary 
    voice path (speakerphone) as if you were placing 
    an off-hook voice announce call.

    20. CONFERENCE CALLS 
    20.1 Station users can establish a three- to eight-party 
    conference without operator assistance. A station user 
    can initiate one conference at a time and the system can 
    maintain up to 32 parties in conference calls of up to 
    eight parties each. In addition to the initiating station, 
    the conference can include any combination of up to 
    seven intercom and/or outside calls. The initiating sta- 
    tion is considered one of the conferencing parties. 
    20.2 If a conference is terminated using the Hold fea- 
    ture, the remaining callers hear music while they are 
    waiting. The station user must return to the callers one at 
    a time. If the Hold timer expires, the calls on hold recall 
    the station that placed them on hold in the order they 
    were placed. If still unanswered after the Recall timer 
    expires, they recall the station’s attendant. 
    203 While a conference call is in progress, the inside 
    parties camrot dial numbers, enter hookflashes, or use 
    the Call Transfer features. Also, if any inside party exits 
    the conference by pressing the CNP key, the remaining 
    inside parties may not use the Conference Wait or Hold 
    features to exit or terminate the conference. 
    20.4 Unlike the call privacy release option (page 
    4-74) where station users can join an ongoing call by 
    lifting the handset and pressing a busy individual trunk 
    key, conferences are private and station users attempt- 
    ing to join an ongoing conference call by pressing a busy 
    individual trunk key will hear busy tones, and may camp 
    on to the trunk. 
    NOTE: During a conference, some reduction in voice 
    volume may be noticed, depending on CO trunk quality. 
    A. PLACING A CO NJ?ERENCE CALL 
    205 
    To PLACE A CONFERENCE CALL.. 
    (1) While on a call: 
    Keyset: Press the CNF key. The party is on con- 
    ference wait hold (hears music) and the CNP key 
    flutters. The call key is unlit, or the individual 
    trunk key is lit. 
    Single-Line Set: Press E!XS CNF key, or press 
    the FLASH key (hookflash) and enter the Con- ference feature code (5). The party is on confer- 
    ence wait hold (hears music). 
    NOTE: If you hear a busy signal followed by 
    music, all conference resources are busy. Do one 
    of the following: 
    To wait for the resources: Remain off hook 
    until you hear intercom dial tone. Then place 
    the second call. 
    To &urn to the cd: 
    Keyset: Press the CNF 
    key. 
    ESLS: Press the HOLD key. 
    !SLI or Other Single-Line Set: Press the 
    FLASH key (hookflash) and press HOLD 
    or enter the Individual Hold feature code 
    - 336. 
    (2) 
    Place intercom or outside calls to (or access ex- 
    isting calls with) the other parties to be included 
    in the conference and place them on conference 
    wait hold as described in the first step. Call keys 
    are unlit and individual trunk keys are lit. 
    If connecting the final party, the conference is 
    connected automatically when the CNJ? key is 
    pressed or when the Conference feature code is 
    entered to connect the final party. 
    If the conference is to comist of fwer than the 
    maxhum number of parties: 
    Keyset: 
    When all parties are on conference 
    wait hold, press the CNP key again. All par- 
    ties are connected. (Display keysets show the 
    extension number or trunk identification of 
    up to four of the parties connected in the con- 
    ference.) The CNF key flashes slowly; call 
    keys are unlit and individual trunk keys are 
    lit. 
    Single-Line Set: When all parties are on 
    conference wait hold, press the RSLS CNP 
    key, or press the FLASH key (hookflash) and 
    enter the Conference feature code (5). All 
    parties are connected.

    To add another party: Repeat steps 1 and 2 
    again. 
    C. EXITING A CONFERENCE 
    20.7 There are several options for leaving the confer- 
    ence: 
    End the conference by hanging up. The other parties 
    remain connected as long as one is a station (inside 
    party). If there are no stations remaining, the confer- 
    ence is disconnected. 
    Place all parties on individual hold (refer to para- 
    graph 20.8). The conference is terminated. You must 
    return to the callers one at a time. To reestablish the 
    conference, repeat the procedures in paragraph 20.5. 
    NOTE: If a keyset user attempts to place a confer- 
    ence call on system hold, all parties will be placed on 
    individual hold. If a single-line set user attempts to 
    place the conference call on system hold, the user 
    hears reorder tones and the call continues. 
    Leave the conference and allow the outside parties 
    to remain connected (refer to paragraph 20.9). You 
    can return to the conference at any time. 
    NOTE: While this system is designed to be reasonably 
    secure against CO trunk misuse by outside callers, there 
    is no implied warranty that it is invulnerable to unautho- 
    rized intrusions. Ifthe central office does not provide su- 
    pervision and disconnect the call when one party hangs 
    up, it is possible for a caller to remain connected to a CO 
    trunk circuit. If this happens, and the caller begins dial- 
    ing, the call could be placed through the 416/832 System 
    and would then be billed to the system’s owner. The sys- 
    tem cannot check this type of call for toll restriction and 
    may not register the call in SMDR. This problem could 
    arise when a call is connected to a station, when a call is 
    in an unsupervised conference, when a call is forwarded 
    or transferred to the public network, or when DISA is 
    used for placing outgoing calls. 
    20.8 To PUCE l?LE OTHER BlRlIES ONHOW:

    21. SYSTEM FORWARDING 
    21.1 System Forwarding provides the ability to pro- 
    gram the system so that calls ringing at a station will fol- 
    low a database-programmed “forwarding path” that 
    routes the call based on the type of call and the status of 
    the intended station. (The station feature Call Forward- 
    ing can also be used at stations with System Forward- 
    ing.) Several terms will be used to describe this feature, 
    including: 
    Principal Station: Original station being called. 
    Forwardii Point: A destination (station, voice 
    mail port, or hunt group) to which the call is directed 
    when the principal station is unavailable. Each for- 
    warding path can contain up to four forwarding 
    points. 
    Forwarding Path: The sequence of forwarding 
    points to which the call will be sent. Forwarding 
    paths are programmed in the database. Up to 200 
    unique paths can be programmed for a standard sys- 
    tem (400 for an expanded system). Each station can 
    have up to three forwarding paths. 
    213 Two system timers are used with this feature: 
    System Forwarding Initiate: This timer deter- 
    mines how long a call will ring (unanswered) at the 
    principal station before moving to the first forward- 
    ing point. The default value is 15 seconds and the 
    range is 2-255 seconds. 
    System Forwarding Advance: When the forward- 
    ing point is a station, this timer determines how long 
    the call will ring (unanswered) before moving to the 
    next forwarding point. The default value is 15 se- 
    conds and the range is 2-255 seconds. (If the for- 
    warding point is a hunt group, the hunt group 
    Overflow timer is used.) 
    21.3 For each forwarding path assigned to the station, 
    the system checks the following three criteria to deter- 
    mine if and when a call should be forwarded: 
    l Type of incoming call: Any combination of the fol- 
    lowing seven types of calls can be forwarded: 
    - Ringing outside calls 
    - Transferred outside calls 
    - Recalling outside calls 
    - DISA/automated attendant calls 
    - DID calls 
    - E&M calls 
    - Intercom calls 
    l Station status: The system recognizes four different 
    types of station status. 
    - No Answer: If the call is not answered at the 
    principal station before the System Forwarding 
    Initiate timer expires, the system advances the 
    call to the forwarding path. 
    - Busy: If the principal station is busy, the system 
    immediately advances the call to the forwarding 
    path. Both “No Answer” and “Busy” can be 
    selected together to form a “Not Available” 
    St&US. 
    - Do Not Disturb: If the principal station is in 
    do-not-disturb, the system immediately sends 
    the call to the forwarding path. 
    - Immediate: The system immediately sends the 
    call to the forwarding path. The principal station 
    user camrot answer the forwarded call, but can 
    reverse transfer it. 
    0 Day-mode/night-mode status of the station’s 
    tenant group: 
    The mode of a station’s tenant group 
    is used to determine if a forwarding path is used. Ei- 
    ther day mode, night mode, or both may be speci- 
    fied. 
    21.4 For example, during the day, the “principal” may 
    want direct ring-in or transferred calls to ring at his sta- 
    tion. If he does not answer them, the calls would follow 
    the forwarding path to a forwarding point hunt group. If 
    the hunt group does not answer his calls, the calls would 
    continue on the forwarding path and go to his voice 
    mailbox (another forwarding point). 
    21.5 If the principal station is a keyset, the “ring prin- 
    cipal once” option can be set that will signal the princi- 
    pal station when a call begins to follow the forwarding 
    path. The signal to the principal station consists of a dis- 
    play @XXXXXX SENT To FWD PAllI) and a single 
    burst of ring tone. The call cannot be answered at the 
    principal station, but can be reverse transferred. 
    21.6 If a call rings in to multiple stations, and one or 
    more of those stations has system forwarding, the call 
    will not follow any of the forwarding paths. 
    21.7 If a principal station or a station forwarding point 
    is a member of a hunt group, calls placed to the hunt 
    group’s pilot number are unaffected by system fonvard- 
    ing. The hunt group calls will be received at the station 
    as usual and will not enter the system forwarding path.

    Hands& Announce System Forward Option 
    218 
    When the a call is transferred to the principal 
    station by another station user and the principal &a- 
    tion’ssystemfonvprdLsetfort~“noa~e~ltfation 
    sfatus, a system-wide option determines what the caller 
    hears. If the “handsfree announce system forward” op- 
    tion is enabled, the transferring station user will place a 
    handsfree call to the principal station and can announce 
    the transfer; the System Forwarding Initiate timer does 
    not start until the transfer is completed. (An exception to 
    this is if intercom calls are programmed to be sent to the 
    forwarding path, in which case the handsfree announce 
    option is overridden and the intercom call from the 
    transferring station enters the forwarding path.) If the 
    option is disabled, the intercom call from the transfer- 
    ring station automatically enters the forwarding path; 
    the station user hears ringing and can announce the call 
    OXI@ if it is answered. Regardless of the option setting, if 
    the transfer is sent to a hunt group forwarding point, the 
    transfer will be completed automatically and the trans- 
    ferring station user will hear intercom dial tone. If the 
    transfer follows the system forward path to a voice mail 
    station, the transfer is completed immediately and the 
    principal station’s mailbox number is 
    dialed. 
    Individual Station Forwarding Points 
    automatically 
    21.9 The ringing duration at each station forwarding 
    point is determined by the System Forwarding Advance 
    timer (defaults to 15 seconds). Ifthe station forwarding 
    point is busy, the call will camp-on until the SystemFor- 
    warding Advance timer expires and then it moves to the 
    next forwarding point. 
    21.10 If the station forwarding point is in 
    do-not-disturb, the forwarding path will bypass that sta- 
    tion and immediately send the call to the next forward- 
    ing point. 
    21.11 A station forwarding point can place calls or 
    transfer calls to the principal. 
    Hunt Group Forwarding Points 
    21.12 
    If a forwarding point is a hunt group, a call fol- 
    lowing the forwarding path will not be sent to the an- 
    nouncement station or overflow station; it will advance 
    to the next forwarding point if not answered before the 
    hunt group Overflow timer expires. 
    21.13 The ringing duration within hunt group for- 
    warding points is determined by the No Answer Ad- 
    vance timer. 
    21.14 If all stations in a hunt group forwarding point 
    have Do-Not-Disturb or Hunt Group Remove enabled, 
    the call will camp on until the Ovefflow timer expires. 
    The call will then be sent to the next forwarding point. 
    The call will not be sent to the hunt group’s overflow or 
    announcement station. 
    Call Forwarding 
    And System Forwardii 
    21.15 
    A call follows only the forwarding path of the 
    principal, even if a forwarding point has call forward en- 
    abled or has a forwarding path of its own. The call that 
    originated at the principal station will follow only the 
    principal station’s forwarding path. 
    21.16 If the principal station has call forward enabled 
    (using the FWD key or one of the Call Forwarding fea- 
    ture codes), the call forward overrides System Fonvard- 
    ing. 
    21.17 If the principle station receives a manually for- 
    warded call (not a system forward), that call will follow 
    the principal station’s system forwarding path. 
    21.18 lf an infinite forward loop results from the com- 
    bination of forwards and system forwarding paths, the 
    station that was originally intended to receive the call 
    will ring, even if the station is in do-not-disturb.
