Page 35 What Happens after the DISA Entry After the incoming caller has entered their selection on an incoming line operating in the Auto-Attendant (or DISA) mode, the IPS will start ringing at an extension. While the extension is ringing, the caller will either hear a ringback tone or the music on hold input. To enable the Music on Hold input after DISA input: To enable the ringback tone after DISA input: If the caller specifies an extension which is not available, they will hear a short busy signal....

Page 36 What Happens if there is No DISA Entry If an outside line answers in the Auto-Attendant (or DISA) mode and the caller does not enter any DTMF digits and no FAX tone is detected, the IPS can transfer the call to eit her the Op erator or to the des ignated FAX machine. You should choose for these calls to go to the FAX extension if this outside line is used mostly for receiving FAXes. This is helpful since some FAX machines do not send the calling tone until after the called FAX machine answers...

Page 37 extension. In the night mode, the outside line could be configured to be a Private Incoming Line, ringing only at the FAX extension. Multiple FAX Extensions If a FAX tone is detected on an incoming DISA call, the IPS would normally try to transfer the call only to the FAX station associated with that outside line. In installations where you have more than one extension with a FAX machine, this parameter allows the call to be transferred to the FAX extension assigned to any of the CO lines....

Page 38 Central Office Lines - Outgoing Calls About Outgoing Call Groups The purpose of the Outgoing Call Groups is to provide the optimal management of outgoing calls, giving maximum outside line access to the users and extensions that need them most. The system has the capability to define up to four Outgoing Call Groups. Each group is a list of outside lines and ever y extension is assigned to one of these four groups. When the extension dials ‘9’ (or ‘0’) to make an outside call, the system uses...

Page 39 Defining Outgoing Call Groups You can define up to four Outgoing Call Groups. Each group can include from none to 4 (3 for IPS 308 model) outside lines. Each outside line can be included in more tha n one trunk group. The order in which the line nu mb ers are ent er ed (in Step 3) will det er mine the or der in which the system searches them for availability when an extension dials ‘9’ (or ‘0’) to connect to an outside line. If you want a certain line to be tied up the least (e.g., the fax...

Page 40 Assigning Extensions to an Outgoing Call Group This feature links each extension to a specific Outgoing Call Group. It thereby defines which outside phone line(s) the extension can use. Any number of extensions can be assigned to a given group. This comma nd must be repeated separately for each extension. You could assign an extension to an Outgoing Call Group containing no outside lines which would prohibit the extension from placing any outgoing calls. With default settings, Outgoing Call...

Page 41 Direct Outward Station Access (DOSA) Direct Outward Station Access (DOSA) allows an incoming caller to enter a password and be connected to a different outside line within the system and make an outgoing call. The original incoming call must be directed to a CO line which is programmed to operate in the DISA mode (See “Choices in Configuring Central Office (CO) Lines” on page 27). After the system answers the incoming call in the DISA mode, the caller should dial a 6 or a “7”, followed by the...

Page 42 Enable Direct Outward Station Access (DOSA) The DOSA function must be enabled by the System Manager to allow an incoming caller to enter a password and be connected to a different CO line to make an outgoing call. To Enable DOSA: To Disable DOSA: Entering the DOSA Password The DOSA password must be specified using this command. Enter Password: 7834 In the programming mode, enter “7834”. Pause for confirmation tone. 7835 In the programming mode, enter “7835”. Pause for confirmation tone....

Page 43 Hunt Groups Four separate Hunt Groups can be implemented, allowing a person to dial a number which will ring at the first available extension of that group. This can be used for intercom calls or for incoming DISA calls where the incoming caller can be prompted to “press 3 for sales, press 4 for technical support, etc.”. There are four groups named as Hunt Group #2, #3, #4, and #5 and each Hunt Group can contain four extensions. The Hunt Groups are accessed as follows: To Call an extension...

Page 44 Assigning extensions to the Hunt Groups This command allows you to specify the extensions in each of the Hunt Groups. NOTE: If it is desired to have fewer than 4 extensions in any group, the number of one of the extension members should be repeated more than once to fill all four places in the group list. It is recommended that all four of the Hunt Group Lists be filled. This would prevent an incoming ca ller from accessing a vacant group if they dialed the wrong Hunt Group number. If only using...
