For more information on System Networking, see the System Networking Reference Manual.
Network Call Transfer
Network Call Transfer allows a call at an extension to be transferred to another extension in the 
network.
Network Extension Calling
Network Extension Calling allows you to reach an extension on another PBX. Based on the number 
you dial, the System network routes the call automatically.
Network Paging
Network Paging allows users on one System to page on another System when the appropriate Class of 
Service (COS) allows. 
Network Call Routing
Network Call Routing allows multiple systems that are interconnected in a network, to direct calls to a 
specific tie line based on the number dialed. The call does not leave the network. 
Tandem Connection
Tandem Connection allows calls that are received over the network tie lines to be automatically routed 
on to another PBX or out to the public network.

Non-Blocking Architecture
Description
The System is totally non-blocking. All extension and outside lines are available for use at the same 
time. 
Hardware Requirements
• The CPC96 supports up to 96 ports. The CPC288 supports up to 288 ports and should be 
combined with time switch card TSW288. The CPC-576 supports up to 576 ports and should be

Power Failure Transfer
Description
Power Failure Transfer provides telephone service to a limited number of Single Line Telephones 
(SLTs) during a power failure. The SLTs are connected to the CO via a Power Failure Unit (PFU). In 
the event of a power failure, the power failure extensions have dial tone directly from the CO. 
(System features and restrictions do not apply.)
Hardware Requirements
• PFU (VA-43703)
• An SLT that will be connected to the PFU.
Related Programming
•N/A
Considerations
• Up to four SLTs can be connected to one PFU.
• For added protection against power outages, backup batteries can be installed in the System. 
Backup batteries provide full telephone service and system features to all System extensions for 
a limited amount of time. With maximum traffic, the backup batteries last up to 30 minutes. 
Power On Maintenance
Description
The System allows you to change most circuit cards, programming, and many other maintenance 
features while the System is powered on and operating. Very few operations require the System to be 
powered down or out of service. The System therefore continues to operate without interruption for 
most maintenance functions. 
A limited number of items such as the replacement of some common control circuit cards requires the 
system to be powered down.

Programming Devices
Description
The dealer may program the System either by using:
• A digital key telephone equipped with display
• A PC-Based Customizing Tool
Telephone Programming
The System can be fully programmed from an extension telephone equipped with 12 FF keys and a 
display. While major system configuration changes may be more easily performed using a PC 
programmer, all programming is available via a telephone. This is especially useful for minor changes 
to the system configuration.

PC-Based Customizing Tool
The System can be completely configured using the PC-Based Customizing Tool. This may be done 
either by directly connecting to the System or by remote connection using a modem.
The System database can be uploaded and downloaded for easy storage and retrieval.
The PC-Based Customizing Tool connects to the System through the RS232C maintenance port.

Day 1/ Day 2/Night Ringing
When the System is in Day 1 mode, calls can be directed to ring at one or more extensions or at a hunt 
group per the Day 1 ringing assignments. 
When the System is in Day 2 mode, calls can be directed to ring at one or more extensions or at a hunt 
group per the Day 2 ringing assignments.
When the system is in Night mode, call can be directed to ring at one or more extensions or at a hunt 
group per the Night ringing assignments.
Inbound calls can be directed to desired normal daytime locations by setting the system into a Day 
mode. By having a second day mode (Day 2) alternative call handling is available during day 
operation. For instance, during lunch, calls can be directed to an alternative position. 
Calls can be directed specific night locations when the system is set to Night mode.
For more information on Day Ringing, see “Day/Night System Mode” on page 37.

Day 1/ Day 2/Night Delayed Ringing
CPC-96, CPC-288, and CPC-576 Version 1.0
Delayed Ringing causes an incoming outside call that is unanswered at a primary extension within a 
certain period of time, to ring at a designated extension or extensions. Delayed ringing destinations 
can be set for Day1, Day 2 and Night modes. CO Delayed Ringing is also available for hunt group 
pilot numbers.
