T-1 Collect Timer
Description
The T-1 Collect Timer is only used when the T-1 Incoming Signaling is set for dial pulse. This is 
a time-out timer that looks at the incoming digits one digit at a time.
If a second digit isn’t detected within the 150 ms, the telephone system attempts to process 
that digit. If a second digit is detected, the system waits 150 ms to see if a third digit is 
received. Otherwise, the telephone system attempts to process the two digits already 
received. This process continues until no additional digits are received and the time-out 
timer expires.
The T-1 Collect Timer setting is variable from 100 ms to 2.0 seconds.

Text Messaging (Silent Response)
Description
The Text Messaging feature allows a station user to use text messages to respond to a caller 
that has either camped-on or has used the off-hook voice over (OHVO) feature to alert a busy 
station of a waiting call or message. The camped-on station may respond to the caller via the 
canned, custom, and silent response text (LCD) messages. The text messages appear on the 
calling party LCD display. The calling (originating) station and receiving station MUST be 
digital telephones. The receiving station MUST also be programmed to allow OHVO calls.
Operation
While receiving a Camp On, or OHVO call:
The called party may press a preprogrammed Text Message button with a specific message 
[633+XX]. Example: [633] + [38] means a telephone calling the station receives the message 
WHO IS IT ?
Additional messages (with their codes listed below) can also be sent as a text response:
T1  FRAMING T YPE 0-1
D4SF-AMI
[31] = I Will Take Call [42] = Is It Important ? [45] = Park Call
[32] = Take Message [43] = Is It Urgent ? [46] = Out Of Office
[33] = Transfer To Secretary [44] = Send Call To Voice Mail [47] = Put Call Through
[34] = Put Call On Hold [38] =Who Is It ? [48] = I Am Busy
[35] = Call Back [39] =Is It Long Distance ? [49] = O.K.
[36] = One Moment Please [40] =Is It Personal ? [50] = No
[37] = I Will Call Back [41] =Is It An Emergency ? [51] = Yes

							Toll Restriction2-275
Features and Operation
Toll Restriction
Description
The STS system offers a flexible means of applying toll restriction to stations or individuals. 
Dialing privileges (or toll restriction) is determined through assignment of station and CO line 
Class Of Service (COS).
Several types of restriction can be derived simply by programming COS assignments and CO 
line access to stations. This may, in some cases, be all that is necessary. However, when a 
more complex or specific type of restriction is desired the system offers two Allow and two 
Deny tables along with four special tables.
These tables can be programmed in a variety of ways to handle applications that are 
straightforward or applications that require a more complex arrangement. The Allow and 
Deny tables are assigned to stations based on their station Class of Service (COS) assignment. 
The Station COS interacts with CO Line COS assignments to provide several different types of 
dialing privileges.
The Allow and Deny tables enable entries of either general or specific allow and deny codes 
such as allowing all [1-800] type calls, and/or denying all [1]+ or [0]+ calls.
The Allow and Deny tables allow a maximum of 8 digits to be entered as allow or deny digits. 
This enables entry of certain area codes or office codes that can specifically be allowed or 
denied.

and 10-digit local dialing. 
						

							2-276Toll Restriction
Features and Operation
For example, the code [1-555-1212] may be entered in the Deny Table to deny local toll 
information calls. Each Allow Table contains 20 bins for entry of allow codes. Each Deny Table 
contains 10 bins for entry of deny codes.
Rules for Setting Up Allow/Deny Tables
Rule 1--- If both tables (Allow and Deny) have no entries, no restriction is applied.
Rule 2--- If entries are made in the Allow Table and only there, then only those numbers are 
allowed. All other dialing is denied.
Rule 3--- If entries are made in the Deny Table and only there, then only those numbers are 
denied. All other dialing is allowed.
Rule 4--- If there are entries in both Allow and Deny tables, the Allow Table is searched first, 
and if a match is found, it is allowed. If a match is not found, the Deny Table is searched; if a 
match is found, the call is denied. If the number does not match an entry in either table, it is 
allowed.
A special Do Not Care character (D) may be entered to allow or deny any digit dialed in 
that digit sequence.

							Toll Restriction2-277
Features and Operation
Special Reference Tables
The STS system also offers four special tables that can be referenced from within the two 
Allow Tables.

Three of the special tables can be assigned to specific area codes that require further toll 
restriction definition.

The fourth Special Table is reserved for use as a home area code table (numbers within 
the same area code as the site where the system is installed). This provides expanded 
ability to apply toll restriction on numbers that are dialed within an area code.

Each Special Table allows up to 800 entries (200–999). This offers the ability to allow every 
office code on an individual basis.

Description
All toll tables have been conveniently placed under one program code to allow entry of all 
toll restriction data.
The buttons on the digital terminal are defined as shown below when entering the Toll 
Restriction programming area (FLASH 70):
When the system searches the Allow and Deny tables, the entries are checked starting with 
Bin 01 and proceeding sequentially through the table to the last bin. In addition the Allow 
Table is always searched before looking at the Deny Table. Therefore, the entry order is 
important. Entries that are specific (e.g., [1716] ) are placed ahead of entries that are more 
general (usually include Do Not Care digits; e.g., [1 D 1] ).

							2-278Toll Restriction
Features and Operation
Once a match is found in the Allow Table that references a Special Table, the number dialed 
are checked for an allowed code in the Special Table. If a match is not found in the Special 
Table, the system continues to check for a match in the next Allow or Deny Table to check. 
The system does not return to the table that sent the call to the Special Table.
Programming Steps
If the system is in the programming mode, continue using the program codes. If starting to 
program here, enter the programming mode.
1. Press FLASH and dial [70]. The following message displays:
2. To program Allow/Deny tables, press the appropriate Table button and enter information 
as outlined in the following procedures.
3. To program Special Tables 1-3, it is necessary to associate an area code to the table. This is 
done by pressing the appropriate AREA CODE TABLE button and assign the area code.
4. To display entries in any of the tables, press the DISPLAY TABLES button (FLASH 70, 
Button #12). Entries in the Allow/Deny tables display two at a time. Entries in the Special 
tables display six at a time in ascending order.
Allow Table
Description
Each Allow Table contains 20 bin numbers. Each bin number may be up to 8 digits, including 
Do Not Care digits and Search Special Table commands. Entries into the Allow Table 
represent exceptions to numbers or codes that are to be allowed only if they would 
otherwise be restricted by an entry in the Deny Table.
EXAMPLE
If [1 555 1212] is allowed but [1+] numbers are denied, by an entry into the Deny Table,
[1 555 1212] is entered into the Allow Table as an allowed number.

Allow Table A is referenced and searched first (before Deny Table A) when Station COS is 2 
and CO Line COS is either 1 or 2.

Allow Table B is referenced and looked at first (before Deny Table B) when Station COS is 3 
and CO Line COS is either 1 or 3.

When Station COS is 4 and CO Line COS is 1 both allow tables are looked at first (Allow 
Table A first, then Allow Table B) then both deny tables (Deny Table A first, then Deny 
Ta b l e B ) .
Do Not Care digits specify that the system should consider any digit dialed in that 
position as a match. Do Not Care digits should not be entered as the last digit in an entry, 
as this would be an unnecessary or meaningless command.
EX   TABLES
ENTER   BUTTON   NUMBER
Special Table 4 is reserved for the home area code and does not require an area 
code entry. 
						

							Toll Restriction2-279
Features and Operation
Search Special Table commands must be entered in a specific manner and should 
always be the last entries in the Allow Table. It is recommended that the last four bins 
(17–20) in the Allow Table be reserved for referencing the four special tables with the 
reference to the home area code (Special Table 4) always being located in bin number 20. 
Search Special table commands can only be entered into the allow tables.
Rules for entries that reference Special Tables:
For entries referencing the first three special tables a specific area code must be identified 
(one for each table needed). Then make note as to how the numbers are dialed when dialing 
numbers to this area code (i.e., with a leading digit [1] or no leading digit [1] ).
The entry into the Allow Table would be entered as follows:

Leading Digit [1]: Enter [BB] [1] [XXX] [DDD] [S]
-or-

Non-Leading [1]: Enter [BB] [XXX] [DDD] [S]
BB = Bin Number (Bins 17-19)
XXX = Area Code (must match AREA-X entry)
DDD = Do Not Care digit (three entries, DND button)
[S] = Search Special Table Command (TRANS button)
For an entry that references the Home Area Code table (Special Table 4) the entry may also be 
entered to expect or not expect a leading digit [1]. In fact, in some cases it may be desirable to 
enter both of the following entries:

Leading Digit [1] -- Enter [BB] [1] [DDD] {S}
 and/or,

Non-Leading [1] -- Enter [BB] [DDD] {S}
BB = Bin number (Bin 20)
DDD = Do Not Care digit (three entries, MUTE button)
{S} = Search Special Table Command (TRANS button)
Programming Steps
1. Press the ALLOW TABLE A or ALLOW TABLE B flexible button (FLASH 70, Button #1
or #3). The following message is shown on the display telephone:
The first two bin locations display.
Remember to enable 911 for all Classes of Service
If both leading digit [1] and non-leading digit [1] entries are made to reference 
the same table, it is necessary to place the leading digit [1] entry ahead of the 
non-leading digit [1] entry in the Allow Table.

1. Enter a valid bin number.
2. Press the HOLD button.
Deny Table
Description
Each Deny Table contains ten bin numbers. Each bin number may be up to eight-digits 
including {Do Not Care} digits. Entries in the Deny Table represent numbers or codes that are 
to be denied or restricted. Common entries would be [1] for restricting all [1+] type of calls. 
Exceptions to this restriction would be entered into the Allow Table.

Deny Table A is referenced and searched only after the Allow Table A is checked when 
Station COS is 2 and CO Line COS is either 1 or 2.

Deny Table B is referenced and searched only after the Allow Table B is checked when 
Station COS is 3 and CO Line COS is either 1 or 3.

When Station COS is 4 and CO Line COS is 1, both allow tables are looked at first (Allow 
Table A first, then Allow Table B) then both deny tables (Deny Table A first, then Deny 
Ta b l e B ) .
- Do Not Care digits specify that the system should consider any digit dialed in that 
position as a match. Do Not Care digits should not be entered as the last digit in an entry.
- Search Special Table commands cannot be entered into the Deny tables.
