Features Call Park Strata CTX General Description 06/0347 that telephone as “redirected” and on the telephone that answers the call as “answered.” If a call is not answered, it is stored on the line or [DN] owner’s telephone as “abandoned.” To store call records, a telephone must be allocated Call History memory by the System Administrator. The number of call records allowed per station and the total number of call records per system is provided in Table 7 on page 14. Call Park Call Park gives any station, regardless of type, a method for holding calls. By parking a call, you are free to make other calls and retrieve the call at a later time or use the paging system to announce a call to be picked up by someone else on the system. Any call can be parked. Parking a call to your phone is known as Local Park, parking a call on someone else’s phone is known as Remote Park, and if a general orbit is used, it called Auto Park. Call Park Orbits The Call Park feature enables a station user to place a call temporarily in an orbit so that the call can be retrieved by any user, either from the same station or from a different station. Personal Park Orbits are available to any type of telephone, including standard telephones. If a call is parked, but not retrieved within a preprogrammed time period, it will recall the parking telephone. The Park recall time is set individually for each station. Refer to Table 7 on page 14 for the number of General Park and Personal Park Orbits, depending on the system processor. Park and Page This feature enables station users to park a call (in a General or Personal Park Orbit), enter a Page Zone or Group access code, and then announce the orbit number of the waiting call to the Paged party. A pre-programmed One Touch button can be assigned to telephones to automatically connect to a predesignated External Paging circuit, a Telephone Paging group or both. Call Pickup Call Pickup enables station users to pick up all types of ringing or held calls including internal, [PDN] or [PhDN] calls ringing or on hold at other stations. Station users can also pick up CO/DID/ Tie line calls ringing or on hold at other stations, CO lines ringing during Night Mode to External Page or night bell, tandem CO line connections and Door Phone calls. Call pickup can be performed through programmable buttons (Directed Pickup, Group Pickup), or with an access code. Call Waiting When a station is busy with a call and another call is directed to that station’s busy or [DN] button, two short beeps are issued to alert the telephone user of the pending call. To answer the Call Waiting, the user must transfer or disconnect the existing call. Call Waiting works for calls originating from within or outside the system. The length of the Call Waiting beeps is different for internal and external Call Waiting. The different beeps distinguish which type of call is waiting.
Features Caller Identification 48Strata CTX General Description 06/03 Caller ID DNIS or ANI information appears on LCD telephones for 10 seconds. If Caller ID information is not available, the device name, such as the CO line or DNIS name or number is shown. Digital telephones can be adjusted to receive or not receive Call Waiting tone over the handset or headset receiver, as well as the speaker. Standard telephones will receive Call Waiting tone twice from the handset receiver. Call Waiting tones can also be turned off on each station by a System Administrator. When a station is busy with a call and another call is being received, a tone alerts the caller of a pending call. On LCD telephones, the Caller ID information displays for 10 seconds. The combined effect of the Call Waiting alert tone with the displayed information enables users to identify whether or not they want to interrupt their current call for the waiting call. To answer the Call Waiting, the current call must be put on hold, terminated or transferred. Multiple calls can be queued to a single station, all waiting for that station to become free; the call at the head of the queue provides the Call Waiting signal and LCD indication. This feature works with both digital and analog single-line telephones. The tone (two beeps) signaling Call Waiting tone is provided through the speaker of the digital phone. For standard analog telephones, the tone is inserted into the speech path. Caller ID display is not available with standard telephones. Caller Identification Caller Identification (Caller ID) is the general term for the information provided identifying the originating party of a public network call. The name and telephone number of the calling party displays on the ringing telephone’s LCD. Incoming calls with Caller ID or Automatic Number Identification (ANI) information may be optionally recorded into a rolling list for individual stations. Station users with LCD displays can access this list to select and redial these calls (see Call History). Caller ID service from the carrier must be subscribed on analog CO lines or T1 ANI in order to receive calling number and name into the Strata CTX system. Caller ID lists can include the number, name (if provided), time and date of the call, and status of the call (answered, abandoned, or redirected). Digital stations are assigned memory for creating the Call History. See Table 7 on page 14 for the number of call records per station and system. ISDN Calling ID Name and Number Both Caller ID name, if available from service provider, and number are supported for incoming calls using either ISDN NI-1 or NI-2 BRI or PRI lines. Caller ID names can be accepted by the Strata CTX from a CO with NI-1 or NI-2. NI-2 is the only way a 5ESS CO delivers Caller ID names on PRI and BRI. Nortel DMS CO with NI-2 installed also uses NI-2 to deliver Caller ID names. Only a Nortel DMS CO can provide Calling Names for NI-1. Camp on Busy Automatic Camp On When a call comes in to a busy station from an outside line and that station does not have an idle button for the call to ring in on, and Station Hunting or Call Forward is not applied, the call automatically camps on to the busy station. This permits incoming calls to be accepted even if the station is busy. The outside caller will receive ring-back-tone immediately and the called station will receive two bursts of Call Waiting tone.
Features Cancel Button Strata CTX General Description 06/0349 If the calling line has Caller ID, ANI, or DNIS information, it will be displayed on the called station’s LCD for 10 seconds. Auto Camp On also applies to incoming line calls directed to Hunt Groups, Voice Mail systems, etc. Various types of internal calls from one station to a busy station, voice mail system or hunt group can also Camp On automatically with system programming options. For details on these types of calls see the Camp On-Busy and Station Hunting descriptions. Off-hook Camp On A station caller who dials a busy station or line access code can remain off-hook to be automatically connected when the station or line becomes idle. After dialing a busy [DN] and receiving busy tone, the caller can just remain off-hook and Camp On will be initiated automatically after a predetermined time or the user can dial a and remain off-hook to initiate Camp On immediately. When camp-on is activated, the caller will receive success tone followed by Ring Back Tone. The station that is the object of a camped-on call will receive two bursts of call waiting tone (see Call Waiting). Even if Voice First is set at the called [DN], the station will be called by tone ringing when it is connected by Camp On. Internal and external stations can be the object of a Camp On. Calls may be camped on to the pilot number of Station Hunting groups and will be delivered to the first station in the group to become idle. ACD pilot numbers cannot be the object of a Camp On. Incoming calls from outside lines to busy DNs camp-on automatically (see “Automatic Camp On,” previous section). When a station dials the access code for an outside line and receives busy tone because all lines are busy, the user can remain off-hook and dial to camp on to the busy line group. When a line becomes available, the station will connect to the line and receive dial tone. When more than one party is camped on (queued) to a destination, the party with the highest Queuing Priority Level (QPL) will be connected first when the destination becomes available. If the parties have the same QPL, the longest waiting call will be connected first. Calls will camp on to hunt groups when all members of the group are busy (see “Station Hunting” on page 77 for more details). Cancel Button The button voids the last entry or step in a procedure. This enables the station user to correct an error and then continue without having to starting over. It is important to consider the consequences of this button in regards to the overall task. For example, during a conference call, will disconnect the last party added to the conference. Centrex/PBX Compatible All system features are compatible with Centrex/PBX operation, including repeat of Centrex/PBX ringing cadence, one-button access to Centrex/PBX features, a two- to five-digit station numbering plan, and Delayed Ringing to selected stations. Centrex Ringing Repeat The system can mimic CO/Centrex/PBX ringing cadences received from outside lines when it rings a called station.
Features Classes of Service (COS) 50Strata CTX General Description 06/03 Classes of Service (COS) Classes of Service are the mechanisms for assigning features and services to lines and stations within the system. The Class of Service for a given device, such as a station, is defined using 38 parameters. There are 32 Class of Service patterns available, each pattern can be set up to allow a unique combination of features. Each station and line group can be assigned independently to one of the 32 COS patterns. Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) CTI combines the capabilities of the Strata CTX digital business telephone system with custom functionality provided by computer applications. This can be provided through the optional Digital Telephone Integrated PC Interface or a system connection using the LAN connection. Digital Telephone Integrated PC Interface For CTI applications, digital telephones interface to a PC that runs the application software using the Microsoft Telephone Application Programming Interface (TAPI), to provide customized functionality. The PC must run Microsoft Windows software. Any TAPI-enabled PC software is compatible with Strata CTX systems. The most common types of application are database look-up and pop-up screens that provide information on the calling party. From a Strata CTX system, Caller ID, ANI, DNIS and call processing information can be passed from the digital telephone to the application computer. The 3000-series digital telephone uses an integrated PC Interface Unit (BPCI) for TAPI and data switching simultaneous voice/data applications. The 3000-series digital telephone must be connected to the system through a BDKU digital station card. The BPCI provides a highly functional interface for fast, positive call control via a USB port and supports media streaming with TAPI 2.0 functionality. Conference Calls Conference calling enables other people to join your conversation. These additional people can be inside or outside the Strata CTX system. Any station can set up a conference with other stations or outside lines. A conference is defined as any time three or more parties join into one conversation. A maximum of eight parties are allowed into a conference with up to six from outside lines or standard stations. The originator of the first conference is the “master” and controls adding and deleting conference parties. The conference “master” can drop off the last added party by using the button. Conference On-Hold A conference call may be put on Hold so that all the remaining conferees remain connected and no Music-on-hold is applied. The person putting the conference on hold may rejoin the conference by pressing the button on his phone. The Hold state of the conference can be released from another station by pressing the button of that station. At this time, the station that released the Hold state becomes Conference Master. This enables one person to establish a conference call for others. Join Button Join allows an attendant or digital station user to connect two established calls to each other.
Features Continuous DTMF Tone Strata CTX General Description 06/0351 Releasing from Tandem CO Line Connections This feature enables unattended line-to-line connections for the Strata CTX, freeing the conferencing analog station or voice mail port for other calls and important tasks. When a tandem connection is set up with a [DN] button, the [DN] button will go idle after releasing from the connection. The [DN] can then be used to make or receive calls from the originating digital telephone. Standard telephones and/or VM devices can establish tandem analog CO line connections and then release from them without disconnecting the tandem connection in the Strata CTX. After releasing from a tandem call, reconnecting to the call can be accomplished by dialing an access code. This reconnect feature does not work if one or both of the CO lines are digital. Whether or not tandem line buttons appear on a telephone, the telephone user can enter the connection and release the line that was connected to the original line or release both lines by pressing the button. Voice Mail Conference Voice Mail ports may be included in conference calls. This enables all members of the conference to listen to and play voice mail messages. Continuous DTMF Tone Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) dial signal is transmitted to the CO line or voice mail/Auto Attendant device for as long as the telephone user presses a button on the dial pad. This feature may be selected for each digital telephone. Standard telephones always provide continuous DTMF tone operation. Credit Card Calling Callers can make “0+” telephone credit card calls from selected toll restricted stations. When dialing from toll restricted stations, if the caller does not enter a credit card number after dialing “0,” the call will be disconnected. Calls are billed to the credit card instead of the Strata CTX CO line. The “0+” credit card calling feature can be enabled, selectively, or assigned to stations and CO lines capable of supporting this service. CTX WinAdmin CTX WinAdmin is the Strata CTX administration software application for programming and maintaining the system. It operates with Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional® and Windows XP Professional, with Windows Explorer 6.0 or higher. It has a user-friendly GUI and provides access levels for technicians and end-user administrators. Strata CTX WinAdmin connects to the system processor’s network jack or maintenance modem (33.6Kpbs/V.34) modem. Direct wire connection, LAN connection or remote connection over the Internet or PSTN is also available. Data Privacy This option blocks calls to data devices that are in use. This prevents override calls and warning tones from interfering with data devices such as modems and ISDN data terminals.
Features Day/Night Mode – Auto Schedule 52Strata CTX General Description 06/03 Day/Night Mode – Auto Schedule The system has three operating modes that are based on the time-of-day, day-of-the-week, and up to 128 holiday schedules. The operating modes are Day, Day2, and Night. Each mode controls the routing of incoming line calls and settings for station and line Class Of Service restrictions. The system can be programmed to use all three modes, Day/Night mode only, or just the Day mode. The system switches automatically from one mode to the next based on the system’s time-of-day clock. Example Day/Night Mode Applications: Incoming Calls – Incoming line call routing of individual DID and DNIS numbers or ground/ loop start lines, change their ringing destinations automatically according to the date and the time of day. For example: On workdays, calls are routed to the attendant, individual telephones, ACD groups, etc., until 5:00 p.m. After 5:00 p.m., calls are routed off-primes to another office, to the Night Bell, or to night announcements and voice mail message boxes. On holidays and weekends, calls are routed independently to the appropriate holiday announcements or voice mail message boxes. Class Of Service – Station, lines, and DID numbers are assigned 38 options in Class of Service. These include Toll Restriction, Override privileges, allowed tandem connection, security code administration, etc. Any of these options can be changed independently for each telephone, line and DID number when the system switches from one operating mode to another. For example: When the system changes from the Day to Night mode, selected stations can be automatically restricted from dialing outside or long distance calls. Note that outgoing route selections set in LCR are switched using a route selection schedule that is independent of the Day/Night mode schedule. System Call Forward – The System Call Forward settings for stations can be changed automatically when the system changes from the Day to Night mode. For example: During the day, a telephone can forward to a person’s car or cell phone, and at night automatically forward to the person’s voice mailbox. The system also enables users to manually change the Day/Night operating mode, even if the system is using the Auto Schedule feature. A button can be set on telephones for manually switching at any time from one mode to another. The button’s LED flash rate indicates the system’s operating mode. If used with the System Auto Schedule operation, the button overrides the current Auto Schedule mode. However, when it is time for the system to switch to another mode per the Auto Schedule timer, the system will switch to the mode set by the Auto Schedule. Example: If the system is switched from Day to Night at 2 p.m. manually with the Night Transfer button (Auto Schedule is set to switch from Day to Night at 6 p.m.), the system will still automatically switch back to the Day mode at 8 a.m. the next morning per the Auto Schedule. Delayed Ringing If an incoming CO, DID or Tie line or internal [DN] call rings a station [DN] and is unanswered, alternate DKTs can be programmed to ring at a later time. A separate delayed ring time can be set for each CO line group. The stations that were ringing initially will continue to ring after the Delayed Ringing begins. This feature is assigned for each line or [DN] button independently for each DKT.
Features Destination (Toll) Restriction Strata CTX General Description 06/0353 With Strata CTX Release 1.3 and higher, you can assign Delayed Ringing to voice mail and auto attendants. This feature can also be used to ring multiple (25 max.) telephones immediately or with a delay to voice mail, auto attendant and/or standard telephones by dialing a group pilot number. Each group member can have Immediate, Delayed Ring 1 or Delayed Ring 2. Delayed Ring times are adjustable (1~180 seconds) for each Multiple Call Group. Destination (Toll) Restriction Strata CTX offers Destination Restriction as a major expansion of traditional Toll Restriction. Historically, Toll Restriction was used to prevent the unauthorized use of toll prefixes to the PSTN: long distance (1), operator assistance (0) or international (011). Strata CTX has expanded this to include restriction based on any string of dialed digits. A true, international business telephone system, Strata CTX can restrict any string of up to 11 dialed digits, including and !. Eleven-digit screening allows control of access to individual telephone numbers in remote Area Codes. Restriction of and ! controls users’ access to vertical service codes from the CO, such as Camp On and Call Forwarding. A stations’s Destination Restriction level can be changed automatically with Day/Night mode Auto Scheduling. One use of this feature is to allow a telephone to make outside calls during the day, but to restrict them at night. Through Dialing A telephone user or an attendant can connect a destination-restricted station to a trunk enabling temporary access to an outside line. The connected station can then use external dial tone to complete the call, and revert back to destination-restricted status after the call is completed. This maintains the integrity of toll restriction, while still extending outgoing calling privileges when necessary. Direct Inward Dialing (DID) This feature allows external callers to dial directly to individual extensions or groups of telephones without intervention by an operator, IVR or auto attendant. Each incoming DID number, which is sent to the CTX on a DID line from the CO, can be routed individually to an extension, pooled or group line button, ACD group, maintenance modem, external page, night bell, voice mail box, or back out over the public or private telephone network. DID routing assignments can change automatically when the system switches between the Day and Night Modes. DID numbers can vary between 1~7 digits in length for each DID line group. Each DID number can be assigned to 1 of 15 possible music-on-hold sources. DID service is provided by DID analog, T1, or ISDN line interfaces. Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) DNIS lines receive 800- and 900-type telephone calls that provide the number the caller dialed to reach the Strata CTX. The Strata CTX translates the DNIS number into a name that displays on the telephone’s LCD. This allows the user to identify where the call is coming from and the purpose of the call before the call is answered. The DNIS Name/Number routes calls to specific telephones, departments or ACD groups. When the call is ringing and after it is answered, the DNIS Name/Number displays on the telephone’s LCD. The name and number display can also be sent to an agent computer to be used by a CTI application.
Features Digital Pad 54Strata CTX General Description 06/03 Applications include sending DNIS calls to a group of agents that take orders for a number of different companies and products. The agents know how to answer the calls from the DNIS display. Using DNIS capabilities allows one group of lines to be used to serve multiple applications. DNIS service is provided by DID analog, T1 or ISDN line interfaces and provides the same call routing options and destinations as DID calls. Digital Pad The Strata CTX digital pad (decibel loss) is activated for the receiving path of the terminal, external line or resource. The system adjusts for differing transmission levels between internal and external devices. This is very useful for conference calls when external parties have difficulty hearing due to public network loss. The Strata CTX can be programmed to insert the appropriate digital pad for each terminal and call type when establishing speech paths between telephones, external lines, and resources such as conference circuits, external paging devices, and external sound sources. This minimizes volume loss in conference calls. The system recognizes these devices: Standard analog telephone (Type 500, Type 2500 and the equivalent) Toshiba digital telephone, cordless, wireless, door phone Analog trunk T1 trunk ISDN extension terminal (Audio and Speech) ISDN trunk/Tie line (Audio and Speech) Conference circuit Holding music source External paging device Direct Inward System Access (DISA) Direct Inward System Access (DISA) allows outside callers to connect to the Strata CTX and make station or trunk calls as if they were stations within the system. An incoming call may be directed to DISA by Direct Inward Dialing lines, ground/loop start lines or Automated Attendant. NoteDISA lines require DTMF receivers. DISA security code is changeable from a specific station. The station to change the security code needs to be allowed by Class of Service. This security code can also be changed using the Strata CTX WinAdmin administration console. DISA provides access to the features listed below: Station Calls Station Calls over Private Network Attendant Access Account Codes
Features Directory Numbers Strata CTX General Description 06/0355 DISA also provides access to these features, which require a security code: LCR Direct line access Outgoing line group access Emergency Call Call Forward Remote Control Directory Numbers A Directory Number [DN], sometimes called an “extension number,” is the number someone must call to reach a destination within the system. Each [DN] is assigned to a flexible button on a digital telephone or as the main directory number of a standard telephone. To maximize call coverage flexibility. Any [DN] can appear on multiple telephones. Also, individual telephones can have multiple [DN] buttons with different Directory Numbers. The system provides Primary and Phantom [DN] buttons on telephones. All [DN] buttons can be used to originate and answer calls. If you press a [DN] while on a call, it releases the existing call and provides dial tone to make another call. Primary [DN] Buttons Primary Directory Number buttons [PDNs] are needed to make calls and receive calls. It is a telephone’s main extension number. Each telephone is assigned only one [PDN] and that telephone is designated as the owner of the [PDN]. This [PDN] button can be made to appear multiple times on the owner telephone and on other telephones (see Phantom [DN] Buttons). Features, Class of Service, etc., are associated only with the station assigned as the owner of the [PDN]. [PDNs] that appear on telephones other than the owner telephone are referred to as Secondary DNs [SDNs]. Phantom [DN] Buttons Phantom [DN] buttons [PhDNs] are additional directory numbers appearing on telephones as extension buttons. [PhDNs] can be used as independent extensions on the phone or can appear on multiple phones to be used to allow call handling for departments or groups of telephones. [PhDNs] can be used to make a telephone appear to have multiple [PDN] extension buttons. When assigning a [PhDN] for use as another appearance of the [PDN], the display properties are set the same as the [PDN] and a hunting sequence is set up to roll the calls from the [PDN] over to the other [PhDN]s associated with the [PDN]. With this arrangement, Call Forward will send calls to the [PDN]’s destinations and Voice Mailbox. Pilot [DN] A Pilot [DN] is a pseudo-location that is assigned a [DN] where calls may be directed. Unlike [PDNs] and [PhDNs], a Pilot [DN] is not a button on any telephone. A Pilot [DN] is used as a device where calls can ring and be held while an external application using the Computer Telephony Interface (CTI) can control the call. To ensure calls do not get lost in the Strata CTX, a time-out and overflow service is provided to redirect the call when the link is down. Calls being held on the Pilot [DN] using the CTI link can specify any of the 15 on-hold music sources that are possible on the Strata CTX. Pilot DNs are also assigned to Station Hunt Groups (for details, refer to Station Hunting).
Features Distinctive LED Indicator 56Strata CTX General Description 06/03 Distinctive LED Indicator Each feature button on a digital telephone has a Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator. Distinctive LED indicators provide a method for quickly identifying the status of a line or feature button. The LED color or flash pattern can identify the call you are currently on, as well as other calls you are controlling, versus other calls that may appear on your telephone. Each telephone uses dual-color LEDs: green for lines you are using; red for lines used by someone else. Distinctive Ringing Users sometimes need to distinguish the ringing of one button on their phone from another button and sometimes stations in close proximity to one another need to distinguish the calls on one desk from another. Typically, multiple sounds are used to provide this distinction. Distinctive ringing can be assigned to each or [DN] button on each telephone. With Strata CTX Release 1.3 and higher, you can set up to ten different incoming ringing tones for internal, as well as external calls. Previously, distinctive ring was not provided for internal calls. Do Not Disturb (DND) Station users with digital telephones can activate DND to prevent any calls from ringing their telephone. Callers will hear a fast busy tone when calling stations in the DND mode. Stations in DND mode can originate calls normally; however, they receive DND stutter dial tone (optional) when originating calls. With Release 1.3 and higher, users can disable DND stutter dial tone (1/2 sec. burst of busy tone before dial tone) in programming. Call Forward-Busy will forward calls directed to a telephone with DND set, even if the telephone has idle [DNs]. Telephones with DND Override capability can ring DND telephones (see “Do Not Disturb (DND) Override” on page 73). Direct Station Selection (DSS) Buttons [DSS] buttons can be placed on digital telephones, add-on modules and DSS consoles. When placed on one of these devices, these buttons serve two functions: to make direct calls or transfer calls to other stations; and to display the status of other stations and [PDNs]. The [DSS] button is numbered with a station’s [PDN] and when pressed, calls that [PDN]. [DSS] buttons are not [DN] buttons, so they do not provide dial tone when pressed. The [DSS] button LED shows the status of the station and [PDN] it represents (idle, busy, DND or ringing). The [DSS] LED will turn on steady or flash at a unique rate, depending on the status (see “[DSS] Button Status Display.” The [DSS] LED displays the telephone’s status for any type of call on any button, including [PhDN] and buttons. The [DSS] LED also indicates the status of the station’s [PDN] itself. If the [PDN] appears as a Secondary DN [SDN] on multiple telephones, the DSS status will display Busy if any telephone is using the [SDN].
