							2-218Privacy Release
Features and Operation
Per Station Option
Description
The system provides privacy on all communications in the system which prevents other 
stations from accidentally entering an existing conversation. However, the system provides 
the ability for a station to join an existing outside CO line conversation (on a per station 
basis). Each station can be granted the privilege to join an existing CO line conversation by 
simply pressing the CO line button of a CO line in use.
Privacy on an SLT can be useful in situations where a modem is using the SLT port for data 
transmission.Disabling this feature lets data transfer proceed without being interrupted with 
a Camp On tone. Both the station and the CO Line must have Privacy disabled before the 
system allows cut-through.

If Privacy is disabled and a station joins an existing call, a programmable warming tone is 
presented to both parties prior to actual cut-through.

If Privacy is disabled, up to seven other stations may join in on an existing conversation.
Privacy is enabled for all stations in default.
