NEC I-Series Multibutton Telephone Feature Handbook

If you work closely with a group of co-workers, your
Communications Manager may have programmed you into a
Department Calling Group.  Department Calling makes it easier for
others in your company to send calls to your group. This is because
your Department Calling Group has a dedicated pilot number. To get a
free group member, co-workers can just dial the pilot number instead
of the group members extensions. If you dont want to receive
Department Calls, you can log out of your group. You can log back in...

With Circular Routing, each call rings a new extension.

If you have a Display or Super Display phone, Directory Dialing
allows you to select a co-worker or outside number from a list of
names, rather than dialing the phone number. There are four types of

Your system may have Door Boxes. A Door
Box is a self-contained Intercom unit typi-
cally used to monitor entrance doors. A vis-
itor at the door can press the Door Box call
button (like a door bell). The Door Box
then sends chimes to certain extensions. If
you receive Door Box chimes, you can just

entrances. Your company doesnt have to have someone at the door to
monitor the entrance. You...
