Introducing The LCD Speakerphone
1.2 Using Your Speakerphone
When using your speakerphone, the microphone and loudspeaker
are farther away from you than when you use a handset. Both the
signal from the loudspeaker and the signal to the microphone must
be strengthened. When microphones and loudspeakers are close
together (such as in a speakerphone), additional amplification
typically generates a ringing sound (public address systems do this
if the volume is too high or the microphone is too close to a
loudspeaker).
NOTE: The 8324F-** speakerphone can function in the full-duplex or
half-duplex mode. Both sets of guidelines (section 1.2.1 and
section 1.2.2) are applicable to the 8324F-**.
The 8012S-**, 8024S-**, 8324S-**, and 8312S-**
speakerphones only function in the half-duplex mode—only
section 1.2.2, Speakerphone User Guidelines, apply to these
telephones.
1.2.1 Using A Full-Duplex Speakerphone
The Impact SCS 8324F-** speakerphone uses the latest
full-duplex speakerphone technology. (Full-duplex technology
enables both parties on a speakerphone call to speak
simultaneously—half-duplex speakerphones allow only one
person to speak at a time.) The 8324F-** will operate in either
full-duplex or half-duplex mode depending on the current line
conditions. For example, satellite calls or calls with a delay
involved may prevent the telephone from operating in full-duplex
mode.
At the beginning of each call the telephone must perform a
“speech training” test. To achieve optimum performance from the
full-duplex speakerphone, Comdial recommends that each user in
turn speak about 10 consecutive words to allow the telephone to
“train” itself. Note that during the “speech training” test, the
speakerphone is operating in half-duplex mode.
Depending on the telephone line conditions and the type of
speakerphone at the other end, it may not be possible for the
8324F-** to operate in full-duplex mode. If the speakerphone at
the other end is a half-duplex speakerphone and both parties are in
speakerphone mode, the half-duplex speakerphone is the
controlling factor, preventing the 8324F-** from operating in
full-duplex mode.
LCD Speakerphone Reference Manual 1 – 3
Introducing The LCD Speakerphone
GCA70–250
NOTE: Pressing any button (mute, hold, etc.) on the speakerphone
while in full-duplex mode causes the system to perform the
“speech training” test again. For example, if you press MUTE
while in full-duplex mode, when you release the call from
mute, the system will perform the entire “speech training” test
again.
1.2.2 Speakerphone User Guidelines
NOTE: The speakerphone user guidelines in this section do not apply
to the Impact SCS 8324F-** when it is operating in full-duplex
mode. However, when the 8324F-** is in half-duplex mode or
in “speech training” mode, the following guidelines are
applicable.
Both parties can not talk at the same time. You must wait for silence
out of your loudspeaker before talking. You must stop talking to hear
the other party.
•
Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from
•
operating properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will
detect sounds from typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging systems,
and other equipment.
Speak slightly louder than normal and with a clear, authoritative voice.
For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet
of it and face the telephone.
•
Raising the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
•
sound-activated switches in your telephone to select the distant party’s
voice. Lowering the volume of the loudspeaker makes it easier for the
switches to select your voice.
Since the system takes several seconds to provide the best switching,
•
constant sound patterns—such as elongating your words and playing
externally-supplied music—may prevent the sound-activated switches
from operating properly.
Place the telephone on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do
not place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let
•
obstructions come between you and the microphone. Rooms with hard,
flat surfaces that reflect sound may affect the sound-activated switches.
1 – 4 LCD Speakerphone Reference Manual
GCA70–250
Introducing The LCD Speakerphone
If you are using a handset and the other party is using a speakerphone,
avoid breathing heavily into your microphone. Avoid other sounds that
may affect the distant telephone’s sound-activated switches.
•
•
•
In some situations, such as when either you or the distant party are in a
noisy environment, you may have to lift your handset to ensure a clear
conversation.
When both you and the distant party use speakerphones, the
sound-activated switches can occasionally detect both voices
simultaneously, thus blocking out both voices.
• To manually place a call using your speakerphone,
1. Press the INTERCOM or line button.
2. Dial the number.
3. When party answers, speak toward the telephone.
• To automatically dial a number using your speakerphone,
1. Press the preprogrammed speed dial or DSS button and speak
toward the telephone when your party answers.
• To answer a call with your speakerphone,
1. Press the INTERCOM or line button with flashing red
or orange light.
2. Speak toward the telephone to answer the call.
3. To end a call with your speakerphone, just press SPEAKER.

2.6 Responding To A Subdued
Off-Hook Voice Announcement
Your installer can set your LCD speakerphone to receive a Subdued
Off-Hook Voice Announcement (SOHVA). This feature allows an
intercom caller to break into your call by making an announcement
through your handset receiver. (This means that if you are on a
speakerphone call, you cannot receive a SOHVA call.) The distant party
that you are currently talking to cannot hear the announcement made by
the SOHVA caller.
Please note that you can receive a SOHVA call even if you are using your
headset; however, the distant party may be able to hear the SOHVA as it
is made.
• You can respond to a SOHVA in one of three ways:
— Verbally: Press and hold the REPLY button and speak into
handset. Distant party cannot hear response. To return to distant
party after your reply is complete, release the REPLY button.
— Non-verbally (Response Messaging): If the announcing station
has an LCD speakerphone, press MSG (message), then press
HAVE HOLD (have the caller hold), or TAKE MSG (take a
message). The message appears in the display of the telephone
making the SOHVA call and then that telephone is automatically
disconnected from your telephone. (If the telephone to which you
attempt to send a non-verbal message is not an LCD telephone, no
message is sent and that station is immediately disconnected from
the call.)
— Blocking the SOHVA: You can block a SOHVA to your station
by pressing BLOCK when the SOHVA is initiated. The SOHVA
call is then disconnected.

This feature provides one- or two-button speed dialing using
programmable buttons at which you have previously stored numbers.
Two levels of number storage are available at each storage location, and
you can use one or both levels as needed. Further, since you usually store
a line choice as part of a speed dial number, line selection is automatic
with speed dialing. This user’s guide discusses button programming in a
separate section. Refer to it when you are ready to store numbers at the
programmable buttons.
There are two types of speed dial numbers: (1) numbers that you store
for your own use (personal speed dial numbers), and (2) numbers that the
system attendant stores for everyone’s use (system speed dial numbers).

2. Decide whether to interrupt.
3. If you decide not to interrupt the called party, hang up,
—OR—
to interrupt, press SOHVA and hear several quick tone bursts.
4. Make announcement (busy tone means that the called telephone is
in speakerphone mode and you cannot make announcement, that
your SOHVA has been denied through system programming, or
that the called party has blocked your SOHVA).
5. Wait on line for reply (either verbal or LCD reply).
NOTE: You cannot control how the announcement is received. This
depends upon whether or not the called party is using a
headset and how his or her station is programmed. For
example, if the called party has set their station to call forward
to voice mail or to another station not in the SOHVA group,
your announcement will not be received.

4.1 Holding Calls
You can place a call on hold and retrieve it later. With a regular hold, you
can pick up the held call at your telephone or another user can pick the
call up at a telephone sharing the held call line. With an exclusive hold
condition, you or another user must pick up the held call at your
telephone; no other telephone has access to it. You can answer and place
on hold a call that is on a line that does not appear at your telephone (a
call that is parked or transferred to you, for instance).
After a call has been on hold for the period of time (set by the system
installer), the system will cause four quick tone bursts to sound at your
telephone, and speed up the flash rate of the line button light. If the call
is on exclusive hold, it will revert to manual hold recall after a timeout
period.
When you answer a call on a group intercom and place it on hold, the
system keeps the call on hold on the group intercom. This means that
you or any other user can pick up this call at any station that has access
to the group intercom.
The installer can add a directed station hold feature to your telephone.
With this feature, you can pick up the held call that has been on hold the
longest length of time at another telephone. This feature also allows you
to place a call on hold at another telephone in a manner that makes that
call appear to have been on hold there for a longer period of time than
any other held call.

specified period of time, the system will send it back to your station for
service (this is known as a park recall).
When you press a personal or group intercom button and dial a code to
retrieve a parked call, the system removes it from the park orbit and
places it at your station on the intercom that you selected.

5.3 Making A Hot Transfer
A hot transfer is a type of screened transfer. To perform a hot transfer,
you voice announce the transfer over the speaker of the telephone that
you want to receive the transfer, and release the call to that telephone.
The system handles the release in a way that does not require the called
party to retrieve the call (the call does not ring at the station).
This feature is useful for transferring calls to people who need to work in
a handsfree mode. Once you announce the call and the system completes
the transfer, the person receiving the transfer can simply begin speaking
toward his or her speakerphone to answer the call.
If you make a hot transfer to a monitor telephone, you can voice
announce the call over the telephone’s speaker, but the person receiving
the outside line transfer will need to lift the handset to answer the call
(the telephone will not ring after the announcement is made).
Please note that you can not make a hot transfer to a telephone if its user
has enabled the Voice Announce Block feature. This telephone will
automatically ring with the transfer requiring the intercom party to
answer it as either a screened or an unscreened transfer.
• To make a hot transfer to another telephone in the system,
1. Answer call.
2. Press TRANSFER/CONFERENCE (the call is automatically
placed on hold).

Authorization codes give you a walking class of service option. Walking
class of service provides you with the mobility to use your class of
service (COS) features, prime line assignments, and exception numbers
on any telephone in the system. This means that you will not be limited
by features that are available to the particular telephone that you happen
to be using. Authorization codes are associated with your personal
intercom number and are assigned to you by your installer when he or
she programs the system. When you enter your assigned authorization
code at any system telephone, the code alerts the system to make your
normal features available to you. This means that you can use the
telephone for anything allowed by your personal intercom number;
however, you cannot disturb the last number redial stored there by the
normal user. Once you access your telephone features, they remain in
effect until any idle time exceeds the authorization code time-out period.
If your telephone includes an installer-programmed LOCK button, you
can press it and then dial your authorization code to deny other users
access to lines and features at your LCD speakerphone.
• To activate walking class of service,

the distant party. You can do this whether you are using the handset or the
speaker. For example, if someone comes into your office to talk to you
and you do not want this conversation to interrupt the distant party, press
the MUTE button. The MUTE button light turns on when you press it
and turns off when you press it again.
• To mute your telephone,
1. Press MUTE (MUTE function and light turn on). You can still
hear the distant party, but he or she cannot hear you.
• To speak to the distant party,
1. Press MUTE again (MUTE function and light turn off).
7.13 Sending A Paging Announcement
Your system provides an all-call or a zone page feature that you access
by dialing special codes. This arrangement sounds your voice
announcement through the telephone speakers. All-call sounds the
announcement through all telephones, while zone paging sounds the
announcement only through those telephones located in a specific area.
Check with your system administrator to determine the type of paging
and access method you should use. If your day-to-day operation requires
that you send many paging announcements, you can program a special
all-call/zone paging button to give quick access to the feature. See the
programming section of this user’s guide for details.
Your installer can arrange your system with an external paging unit that
you access by pressing a line button or by dialing a special code. This
unit sounds the voice announcement over an external speaker unit. Check
with your system administrator for specific information on how to
operate with such an arrangement.

7.17 Switching The Dialing Mode
Between Pulse And Tone
If the telephone service in your locality is pulse (rotary dialing), the
installer arranges your telephone to dial in this manner. If you need to
send tones during a dialing sequence (for example, to send
bank-by-telephone tones), you can convert to tone dialing mode while
dialing. The system will switch back to pulse dialing when you end your
call.
You can store a # as part of a speed dial number to cause an automatic
switch from pulse to tone where needed in a number sequence.
• To convert to tone dialing at any time during dialing or while on
an active call,
1. Press #.
7.18 Using Background Music

7.19 Using Direct Inward System Access (DISA)
This feature allows you to call into the digital communications system
from an external telephone. You can call directly to intercom extensions
and talk to the intercom parties or, if the system includes a voice mail
option, leave messages for them if they are not available. When you call
the DISA telephone number and dial your authorization code, the system
treats your call as it would treat one coming from a system telephone and
permits you to use many of the same features that you can use when you
are calling from your assigned station. (Authorization codes are
associated with personal or group intercom numbers and are assigned to
you by your installer when he or she programs the system.) If you use
your DISA access to make a call through the system and out on an
outside line, the system applies all the toll restriction and automatic route
selection to the call that the installer has programmed for the line that
you are using. If you dial an incorrect authorization code, or the system
is busy with other DISA calls, you will either hear an error tone, or the
system will automatically route your call to one of the following areas
(as determined by your system installer):
a designated station where you can talk to the system attendant,
•
•
a digital voice announce that will prompt you to take additional
action,
a proprietary voice mail station where you will be prompted to
leave a message.
•
The system allows you three tries at dialing your authorization code
before it routes your call as detailed above.
Some systems provide voice prompts to DISA callers and other systems
do not. If you encounter voice prompts when you call on the DISA line,
follow the prompt directions to complete your call.
Further, some systems with voice prompt enhancement, provide a
one-digit menu that prompts you to dial a single digit to reach available
departments, use system features, or obtain operator assistance.

NOTE: DISA is not recommended for use on loop start lines without
disconnect supervision. While DISA will function, Comdial
will not be liable for its performance under any condition
where disconnect supervision is not provided.
Comdial has taken reasonable steps in the design of all product features,
including DISA, which protect against unauthorized or fraudulent access
to, or use of, a system, or which protect against unauthorized, fraudulent
or unaccounted-for access to, or use of, long distance lines. However, no
system is entirely invulnerable or immune from unauthorized or
fraudulent access or use, or unaccounted-for access or use, and therefore
Comdial disclaims any and all liability, and makes no warranty, express
or implied, relating to unauthorized or fraudulent access or use, or
unaccounted-for access or use.
• To make a DISA call to an intercom number,
1. Dial number for DISA line (listen for voice prompt if available).
2. Dial extension number.
3. If station does not answer or is busy you will either hear busy tone
or hear voice prompt if available. If you dial an invalid number,
you will hear error tone.
4. If voice prompt provides dialing codes, dial proper code for
services such as: track, message waiting, or voice mail.
• To make a DISA call to use system features,
1. Dial number for DISA line (listen for voice prompt if available),
2. Dial authorization code (listen for voice prompt if available;
otherwise, hear stutter-style dial tone—remember, the system gives
you only three tries to dial your code correctly),
3. Dial feature code and listen for acknowledgment tone.
NOTE: If you are selecting a line group through DISA for outside
calling, you can raise the audio level on this line when needed.
Do this before you select the line by dialing ✳✳7, and then
dialing 1 for 0 dB, 2 for +3dB, or 3 for +6dB of gain. In some
cases, added gain can introduce circuit instability that presents
itself as a singing sound, which can interfere with dialing and
voice communications. If you experience this condition , select
a lower gain setting.

7.20 Using The Auxiliary Jack
NOTE: Only the 8024S telephone has an auxiliary jack. All other
model telephones use the handset jack to plug in a headset.
The auxiliary jack provides an interface for a headset, a tape recorder, an
external ringer or an external pager. You or your system installer can
connect any one of these auxiliary devices as you need them. You must
program one of the programmable buttons on your telephone to serve as
an enable/disable button for each auxiliary device you plan to connect to
your LCD speakerphone. The system will activate only the device that it
identifies in the display, and will activate only one device at any time.
The headset mode allows you to operate your telephone with a headset
instead of as a speakerphone or with the handset.
NOTE: The recorder, external ringer, or pager requires external power.
The recorder mode allows you to send your voice and that of the distant
party to a tape recorder.
NOTE: A recording device requires a special peripheral cord for
connection. See your system installer for details.
The ringer mode allows an external speaker to sound the ringing of your
telephone.
The pager mode allows an external paging device to sound all voice
announcements (all-call, zone paging, voice announced intercom calls)
sent to your telephone.
CAUTION
With the exception of a headset microphone, do not connect the
audio output of any external device to the auxiliary jack. Also, do not
connect the tip and ring leads of a telephone line to the auxiliary
jack. Do not connect any devices to the auxiliary jack other than
those mentioned above.

7.21 Using The Tracker Paging System
The Tracker Paging System option allows you to send call back and
parked call messages to Tracker pagers assigned to station extension
numbers.
Along with the parked call message, the system parks the call in orbit for
retrieval by the paged party. The type of message that the system delivers
(either alphanumeric or numeric-only) is dependent upon the Tracker
pager model in use at the station.
When outside callers call into a system that has both a Tracker Paging
option and a voice mail option installed, the system gives these callers
the option of either leaving a message or tracking the person that they are
calling.
If you have a Tracker pager assigned to your personal intercom number,
you can receive messages that someone else sends you. The system
automatically installs the Tracker pager for your use; however, you can
disable it when you do not wish to receive paged messages and when you
leave at the end of your day. Of course, if you do disable your Tracker
pager at the end of your day, be sure to enable it at the beginning of your
next day.
Your LCD speakerphone includes an interactive TRACK button;
however, if your day-to-day operation includes extensive Tracker usage,
such as in an attendant function, your installer may include a TRACK
button at a programmable button location.
• To track a called party after receiving a ring—no answer,

7.22 Using E and M Tie Lines
E & M tie line operation is typically used in applications where one
group of users often need to call parties located in one or more remote
locations. In these applications, your system is directly tied to another
similar system at the remote site(s).
If your system has been configured for tie line operation, the procedures
you use to place calls, transfer calls, and set up conference calls differ
slightly from other types of connections. These procedures are described
in this section.
• To make a call on an E & M tie line,
1. Dial the E & M access code that was assigned by the installer,
—OR—
if your system has been configured by the installer to use
Automatic Route Selection (ARS), dial the ARS access code (9).
2. Wait until you hear a dial tone, then dial the intercom number for
the party you wish to reach at the remote site. You will hear a fast
busy signal if you dialed an invalid number.
• To transfer a call over an E & M tie line,
1. Answer the incoming call.
2. Press CONF.
3. Dial the E & M access code that was assigned by the installer,

the distant party to whom you are transferring the call.
5. If you are doing a screened transfer, stay on the line until the called
party answers so that you can announce the call,
—OR—
hang up (unscreened transfer). If the called party does not answer,
the call will return to you after the transfer recall timer expires.
NOTE: After transferring the call to the remote end of the E & M tie
line, you will have created an unattended conference, and your
telephone will appear as though it were on hold.

line or line groups and does not use any conference circuits. Since CFOS
involves outbound calls, those calls are subject to all line access, toll
restriction, and automatic route selection restrictions normally imposed
on your calls. The CFOS feature is useful if you need to forward your
after-hours calls to an alternate site such as your home or cellular
telephone.
• To activate CFOS with your LCD speakerphone,
1. In succession, press OPTIONS, CFWD, SET, and NEXT.
2. Notice that the CFOS option now shows in the display.

7.24 Mark Problem Line
Your programmer can arrange the system so that you can mark a line that
is not functioning properly. You do this by pressing a pre-programmed
MARK button or by dialing a feature code of your choice. After you
have marked a particular line a programmed number of times, the system
takes the line out of service (unless programmed to prevent this from
happening). When the system takes the line out of service, it logs the
condition and triggers an alarm. The printed error log will then show
which line is out of service and so will the displayed error log. An out of
service line is only out of service for line group use; it is available for
direct selection or prime line access. Further, an out of service line is
available for all inbound calls unless it is a DID line. You can not mark a
line during a conference call or if you are calling in as a DISA caller.
The system manager can use the line disable feature at the programmer’s
station to restore service on the out of service line.
• To mark a line,
1. Press the MARK button on your telephone,
—OR—
press INTERCOM and dial a code of your choice.
(The system will not accept your choice if it conflicts with an
existing feature code or intercom number.)
NOTE: When you mark a line during an active call, the system records
the mark for the active line. If you take marking action during
an idle condition, the system records the mark for the last
active line (this includes lines that are presently on hold).

7.26 Using The IMIST Module
Impact SCS 8324F-**, 8324S-**, and 8312S-** speakerphones equipped
with the optional IMIST module can support an IST device (modem,
FAX machine, industry-standard telephone, etc.) in addition to the LCD
speakerphone. Depending on system programming, the IST device may
be used to make outgoing calls and receive incoming calls.
The functionality of the IMIST module depends on the type of system
you are using.
The IMIST module will function on a DXP system with the
appropriate digital station board, but the IMIST module will not
have its own extension number and will not function
simultaneously with the speakerphone.
•
•
On a DXP Plus system, the IMIST module will function
simultaneously with the speakerphone and have its own extension
number if your system has the appropriate digital station board and
memory board. If your system does not have the optional enhanced
memory board, the IMIST module will function like the one on the
DXP system described above.
On an FX Series system, the speakerphone and IMIST module can
function simultaneously and the IMIST module has its own
extension number.
•
NOTE: The IMIST module does not provide voltage to light a message

7.27 Using The Caller ID Feature
The Caller ID feature allows you to view incoming call numbers before
you answer them. Incoming call numbers flash in the lower half of the
LCD. If you answer the call, the number appears in the upper half of the
LCD.
The system also stores numbers that ring on your line but receive no
answer. The system indicates that it has stored ring-no answer numbers
by causing the CID light on your telephone to flash. Pressing the CID
button allows you to view the stored numbers one at time. Pressing the
SAVED NUMBER REDIAL button causes the system to dial the
displayed number. If the call has been returned by someone else,
pressing the ✳ key reveals who returned the call. Everyone sharing your
line can scroll through the stored numbers and choose which calls to
return.
NOTE: If your system installer has not programmed a SAVED
NUMBER REDIAL button, refer to section 9.4, Using The
Feature Buttons, for instructions on programming this button.
• To scroll through ring-no answer numbers stored on your system,
1. If your CID light is flashing, the system has unreturned ring-no
answer numbers stored in memory.
2. To view the list of unreturned ring-no answer number, press the
preprogrammed CID button on your telephone. Your LCD will
display the calling number, date, and time the call came in. The
most recent call appears first in the list.
3. Press the CID button each time you wish to display the next most
recent ring-no answer call to your line.
4. To dial one of the numbers in the redial queue, press the SAVED
NUMBER REDIAL button. The system will automatically dial
the number.
Depending on your system programming, when a call is returned it might
remain in the ring-no answer queue or the system might delete it from
the ring-no answer queue. Your system installer can tell you how the
feature is programmed. If the system is programmed to leave a returned
number in the redial queue, the display will show a ✳ next to numbers
that have been returned.
• To determine who viewed the number and returned the call,
1. Press ✳.

If the system installer designates your LCD speakerphone as a central
message desk or programs it to have message-wait originate ability, you
can turn on the message-waiting light of any other telephone. This light
lets that telephone user know that you have a message for him or her. In
addition to the message waiting light, leaving a message indication at a
station that is a prime intercom, also causes the dial tone at that station to
sound in a broken manner when the station user takes his or telephone
off-hook.
If a telephone that receives a message has a DSS button that is
programmed to call the station that left the message, the light next to that
DSS button on the message-receiving station will flash.

8.3 Sending Response Messages
By programming one or more RESPONSE MESSAGE buttons on your
LCD speakerphone, you can respond with a variety of messages to many
calling situations. For example, if you call another station and receive a
busy signal or no answer, you can send one of 30 system-supplied
messages, or you can send the same message each time the situation
arises. Further, you may at times receive intercom or SOHVA calls that
you decide not to answer, and you can send a message to the display of
the calling LCD speakerphone for the caller to read.
If you program a scrolling RESPONSE MESSAGE button at your
telephone, you may use it to scroll through and select any of the system’s
messages to send, allowing you to send a different message every time.
If you program a fixed RESPONSE MESSAGE button, you can send
the same message every time in response to a situation, which saves you
the trouble of scrolling to the message you want to send.
This section tells you how to use the RESPONSE MESSAGE button(s)
to send messages to other LCD speakerphones. Refer to section 10.1 for
instructions on programming the RESPONSE MESSAGE button(s).
• To send an LCD message when you call and receive busy signal
or no answer,
1. While still on the call, press the appropriate fixed RESPONSE
MESSAGE button to send a preselected message (Call [your
name], for example) to the other telephone,
—OR—
while still on the call, press the scrolling RESPONSE MESSAGE
button to scroll through the system-supplied messages.
2. Press # when your display shows the message you wish to send
(the message will then be displayed at the called telephone).
NOTE: For the example in step 1, you would use default message 2.
Your name would then be added from the station name
programming done by the installer.

9.1 Programming For Speed Dialing
Speed dialing is a feature that lets you:
store and dial lengthy numbers using one or two buttons,
store and dial intercom numbers of frequently called telephones,
store frequently used feature codes.
•
•
•
You can store numbers for speed dialing at the following locations:
at any programmable button that is not now assigned as a line button
or other feature by the system administrator or installer,
•
at the keypad numbers 0–9 (primary level only),
•
•
on a secondary level at any of the programmable button locations.
Before you begin programming, write down the intercom or outside line
you will use and the number digits that you are storing. Then, as you
program the speed dial numbers, write the first and second level numbers
on your telephone’s ID strips. You can also fill out the charts on the next
page, if you wish, for a personal record of your stored numbers.
NOTE: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires
that when programming emergency numbers and(or) making
test calls to emergency numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the
reason for the call;
2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early
morning or late evening.

10.7 Printing Station Message
Detailed Accounting (SMDA) Reports
The system collects detailed call activity data for all stations and makes
this available to you in various SMDA reports printed on the system’s
printer.
The all records report includes all stored records and is not sorted by any
particular group as are the station, line, and account reports. This report
is arranged in chronological order.
The station report shows all calls that the station user has made and
received along with totals and averages. This report is sorted by station
number.
The line report shows the number of calls, total minutes busy, number of
incomplete calls, and cost for each line. The line report also summarizes
line group activity as well.
The account code report shows the same information as the station
report except that the records are based upon each account code.
As an alternative to requesting specific reports as you want them, you
can request the system to generate automatic reports. The type of report
and time of day the report is to be printed is programmed by the installer.
You can view the number of free records or you can delete all stored
records to insure that only the latest records are being stored or to
provide a known starting point for record storage.
Finally, as the system’s memory reaches 95% of capacity, all reports are
printed automatically.

10.13 Using The Digital Voice Announce Option
The Digital Voice Announce (DVA) is an optional external device. It
stores pre-recorded announcements and messages and plays them for
incoming callers during their calls.
You must record the messages that the DVA plays to the callers in one of
two ways: either by delivering them from the telephone handset at your
attendant station or by playing the contents of a professionally-supplied
tape recording into the DVA memory (see your system installer for tape
recorder connection details).
There are 13 unique messages. The first five (plus day and night routing
messages) are divided into four separate message types. The total
message time is two minutes and you can divide this time as necessary
among all the messages or use the entire two minutes for one message if
needed.
Because of the time constraints, it is a good practice to script your
messages ahead of time so that you can read them aloud in a clear and
concise manner as you store them in the DVA memory.
As the number of calls increase, you can add more DVAs to handle the
additional callers. You can then record the same message on several
DVAs by entering the replicate value (see step 6 on the following page).

10.14 Using The Special Attendant Buttons
In addition to the many feature buttons the system can make available to
any station, the DXP provides the attendant position with several
special-purpose feature buttons to enhance call processing. These
special-purpose buttons are described below:
Alternate Button: When an attendant presses this button, all calls
normally routed to his or her telephone are then routed to an alternate
attendant’s telephone instead. In some cases, your alternate attendant
will be able to route all calls to a third alternate attendant.
Both Button: This button provides a means for an attendant to establish
a conference between the attendant’s station, a current call, and the last
call that was placed on hold.
Overflow Button: When an attendant presses this button, calls that
normally ring at the attendant’s telephone also ring at an overflow
attendant’s station.
Queue Button: When multiple calls are ringing or are on hold at an
attendant’s station, the system places them in a queue. The attendant can
use this button to determine how many calls are queued awaiting service.
Serial Call Button: When a caller wishes to speak to more than one
person, the attendant uses this button to place the caller in a serial mode
of multiple transfers to each desired party. In the serial mode the system
automatically transfers the caller to another party as soon as a present
party hangs up. The system places the caller in the serial mode as soon as
the attendant hangs up.
Test/Busy Button: This button provides the attendant with a means to
test the status of specific lines. Attendants can use this button to
determine whether individual lines are idle, busy or on hold. When this
button is used, the line is seized if it was idle.

10.15 Viewing The System Status Log
The system status log gives you information about the status of your
system. Status log entries include: system reset, parity (port number),
(port number) removed, manual reset, and software reset. Your installer
must program a SYSTEM STATUS button on your telephone to provide
you with access to the log display. The light located next to the button
serves as the SYSTEM STATUS light. If the light turns on, it alerts you
to enter the log viewing mode by pressing the SYSTEM STATUS button.
If your system includes T1 telephone line service, your telephone may
display a T1 status log as well as the system status log. The T1 status log
entries include those transmission errors that exceed their
installer-programmed thresholds.
The installer may arrange for the system to sound an external audible
alarm (or turn on an external visual alarm) if certain alarm conditions
occur with the T1 service— it is the installer’s choice whether the
external alarm is audible or visual. If a T1 alarm occurs, you must take
action to turn off the alarm device.
View the status logs by scrolling through them using the interactive
buttons on your telephone. Although you can view a status log and turn
off the T1 alarm, your installer must turn off your SYSTEM STATUS
light. After viewing a log (and also turning off the external T1 alarm if
necessary), inform the system administrator or installer that a system
status or T1 alarm condition has occurred, and describe to him or her the
displayed log details.

10.16 Operating Your Telephone
With A DSS/BLF Console
The IB64X, IB48X, and IB24X DSS/BLF consoles have additional
buttons and status lights that extend the memory button capability of an
adjacent companion telephone. The buttons can be programmed for
automatic dialing (speed dial) or direct station selection (DSS) with busy
lamp field (BLF) using the instructions provided previously in this guide.
When the installer assigns a DSS/BLF console to a station port, the
system recognizes it as such and automatically clears (blanks) the
console buttons so that you can store numbers at the buttons as you need
them.
