INNOVATIVE
DSX from NEC takes the lead with state-of-the-art innovations sure to make your business communications
more efficient, profitable, and enjoyable.
Innovation starts with the new sleek DSX telephones. All models feature the same thin, floating design, two
position angle adjustment for effortless viewing, and built in wall mounting. The 22-Button Display offers a
large 3-line-by-24 character display, four interactive soft keys, and a built in speakerphone. The 34-Button
Display is enhanced with a backlit display and illuminated dial pad (for improved low light viewing), as well
as additional feature keys. A 34-Button Display advanced model provides a built-in half-duplex speakerphone.
The 34-Button Super Display has all the features of the advanced 34-Button and additionally offers the user a
9-line-by-24-character display and 12 interactive soft keys. Rounding out the line, the DSX Cordless Telephone
provides mobility and flexibility for those who spend much of the workday away from their desk.
Complemented by 4 fully programmable Feature Keys, the DSX Cordless Telephone achieves a whole new
level of convenience and mobility.
Innovations don’t stop with the DSX telephones. Right out of the box the system has a two-port Automated
Attendant with no optional equipment required. The capability for full-featured IntraMail Voice Mail with
Automated Attendant is inherent in the system and only requires an IntraMail flash card to activate. Program
on-site from the telephone or from a PC connected to the system’s ethernet or USB port. PC remote programming
is available through the ethernet port or built-in modem.
AFFORDABLE
NEC designed DSX from the ground up with affordability in mind. Economy per port is maximized by highdensity
circuitry. All DSX telephones have a speakerphone and display for increased functionality and total
lower station cost. Native support for ISDN PRI and T1 provides maximum connectivity for low initial
investment. Since DSX is simple to install and easy to use, the expenses of configuration, programming, and
post-installation training are minimized.
The cost-effective IntraMail provides sophisticated Voice Mail and Automated Attendant features previously
available only with expensive add-ons or costly external units. It is available in two configurations: 4 port/8
hour and 8 port/16 hour. The IntraMail Automated Attendant includes the call answering features you
demand such as dial access to extensions, unique day, night, and holiday answering (Flexible Answering
Schedules), the ability for two companies to share the same IntraMail (Multiple Company Greetings), and
the capability to dial employees by entering their names instead of extension numbers (Directory Dialing).
IntraMail Voice Mail is much more than simple messaging. Advanced IntraMail features allow you to automatically
place a return call to the message sender (Caller ID with Return Call), screen your incoming calls
(Call Screening), forward a message to a co-worker (Message Forward), and send a call to a co-worker’s
mailbox (Transfer to a Mailbox).
DSX is sized right, starting with the economical 40-port DSX-40, growing into the 80-port DSX-80, and
culminating in the 160-port DSX-160. To maintain the value of your investment, all the components of a
DSX-80 can be used in DSX-160 just by adding a DSX-160 cabinet. Even when growing from the DSX-40,
your investment in programming, telephones and other station equipment is retained.
RELIABLE
Over a decade of intense feature development ensures that the core DSX call processing features are mature,
efficient, and reliable – yet intuitive and easy to use. Combined with end-to-end Quality Assurance and stateof-
the-art circuit design (which achieves new standards for efficiency and economy), you are assured that
DSX will be your reliable business partner for years to come.
Innovative leadership and longevity are a rare combination among technology companies. Founded in 1899,
NEC has grown to a nearly $50 billion enterprise that produces 15,000 products in 126 manufacturing plants
worldwide. NEC pioneered the development of telephones and switching systems early in the 20th century,
and has maintained a leadership position in communications and networking ever since.

DSX Analog Door Box
The Analog Door Box is a self-contained Intercom unit typically used to monitor an entrance door. A visitor
at the door can press the Door Box call button (like a door bell). The Door Box then sends chime tones to all
extensions programmed to receive chimes. To answer the chime, the called extension user just lifts the handset.
This lets the extension user talk to the visitor at the Door Box. The Door Box is convenient to have at a
delivery entrance, for example. It is not necessary to have company personnel monitor the delivery entrance;
they just answer the Door Box chimes instead.
Tips to remember:
• The Analog Door Box is a weather-tight unit and can be mounted outside.
• The maximum number of DSX Analog Door Boxes you can install is determined by the number of
2PGDAD Modules, which in turn is limited only by the availability of 16ESIU station ports.
DSX 2PGDAD Module
The DSX 2PGDAD Module provides connection and relays for two DSX Analog Door Boxes. This module
connects to an available port on a DSX Digital Station (16ESIU) PCB.
Tips to remember:
• The maximum number of DSX Analog Door Boxes you can install is determined by the number of
2PGDAD Modules, which in turn is limited only by the availability of 16ESIU station ports.

System Configuration
DSX-80/160 System Load Factor
The combination of lines and extensions you can connect to your DSX system may be limited by the System
Load Factor. Use the DSX-80/160 System Load Factor Worksheet on the next page to verify your system’s
configuration. When entering data on the worksheet, for each installed card make entries for each Load Type.
There are two Load Types to consider: 5 VDC and 40 VDC.
To check your system configuration:
1. Indicate the quantity for each card installed in the Qty column.
- The number of keysets, single line sets, and DSS Consoles does not affect the load factor.
2. For each item and for each Load Type, multiply the Qty times the Load and enter the value in the Total
column.
- For example, two 16ESIU Cards have a load of 16 for 5 VDC and 40 for 40 VDC.
3. Add up the entries in each Total column and enter the values in Item 1: Load Type Totals.
4. Review Item 2: Power Supply Capacity and determine the capacity of the power supplies installed in
your system.
5. Compare the capacities in Item 2 to your entries in Item 1. Item 1 must always be equal to or less than
the entry in Item 2.
Important
Do not operate your system if the total for either Load Type
exceeds the Power Supply Capacity of your installation.

Introduction
How To Use This Chapter
This chapter provides detailed information on the system’s features. The features in this chapterare in alphabetical
order, like a dictionary.
Account Codes
Account Codes are user-dialed codes that help categorize and/or restrict outside calls. Account Codes are
from 2-10 digits long, using any combination of the digits 0-9. There are three types of Account Codes:
❥ Optional (Unforced Account Codes)
❥ Forced Account Codes
❥ Verified Account Codes
Optional (Unforced) Account Codes
Optional Account Codes allow a keyset extension user to enter an Account Code while placing an outside
call or any time while on a call. This type of Account Code is optional: the system does not require the user
to enter it. If the keyset user is already talking on an outside call, their conversation continues uninterrupted
while they enter an Account Code.
Single line telephone users can only enter an Account Code while placing their outside call.
Forced Account Codes
Forced Account Codes require an extension user to enter an Account Code every time they place an outside
call. If the user doesn’t enter the code, the system prevents the call. The system can require Forced Account
Codes for all outside calls, or just for toll calls (as determined by Toll Restriction programming). Note that
Forced Account Codes do not pertain to incoming calls.
Verified Account Codes
With Verified Account Codes, the system compares the Account Code the user dials with a list of codes programmed
into the Verified Account Code Table. If the Account Code is in the table, the call goes through
(provided it is not prevented by an extension’s Toll Restriction programming). If the code is not in the table,
the system prevents the call. Verified Account Codes, if enabled, apply only to Forced Account Codes.
Use Account codes to categorize and/or restrict outside calls.
22 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Using Account Codes and Speed Dial
To simplify Account Code operation, Personal and System Speed Dial bins can contain Account Codes.
Keep the following in mind when using Speed Dial and Account Codes:
❥ The Account Code can be either the first or last entry in the bin, and must be preceded and followed by
the # character. For example, the Account Code 1234 must be entered as #1234#.
❥ The Speed Dial bin can contain an Account Code followed by an outside number, or just the Account
Code. The Account Code must be preceded and followed by a # entry. If the bin contains just the
Account Code, the user must be sure to press the bin key before dialing the outside number.
❥ If the system has Verified Account Codes enabled, the Account Code entered in the Speed Dial bin must
match an entry in the Verified Account Code Table.
❥ If the Speed Dial bin does not contain an Account Code, the user must enter the Account Code manually.
If Forced Account Codes are enabled, the system requires the user to enter the Account Code before it
outdials the stored Speed Dial number.
❥ An extension user can preselect a line for a Speed Dial call.
Using Account Codes with Last Number Redial and Save
Last Number Redial and Save do not store Account Codes. This means that the user must manually enter an
Account Code to have it included with a call dialed using Last Number Redial and Save. If Forced Account
Codes are enabled, the system requires the user to enter the Account Code before it outdials the stored number
saved by Last Number Redial or Save.
An extension user can preselect a line for a Last Number Redial or Save call.
Account Codes and Emergency Calls
Account Codes are never enforced for emergency (911 and 1+911) calls.
Alphanumeric Display
The 22- and 34-Button Display Telephones have a three-line, 24-character per line alphanumeric display.
The first line displays the date and time (while idle) and feature status messages. The second line is used
extensively by IntraMail. The third line displays the Soft Key definitions.
The 34-Button Super Display Telephone has a nine-line, 24-character per line alphanumeric display. The
first line displays the date and time (while idle) and feature status messages, just like the 22- and 34-Button
Display Telephones. The second line is used extensively by IntraMail. Lines 4-9 are the comprehensive
Super Display Telephone soft key definitions.
❥ To learn more about the display telephones:
- see 22-Button Display Telephone on page 4
- see 34-Button Display Telephone on page 5
- see 34-Button Super Display Telephone on page 6
❥ To learn more about the Soft Keys, see Interactive Soft Keys (page 50).
Attendant Call Queuing
An unlimited number of callers can queue for the attendant. The callers hear ringback while they wait for the
attendant to answer — not busy tone. If you have the attendant as the overflow destination for Direct Inward
Lines, for example, unanswered DILs will “stack up” at the attendant until they are answered.
The Alphanumeric Display messages help the display telephone user process calls, identify
callers and customize features.
Attendant Call Queuing helps minimize call congestion in systems that use the attendant as
the overflow destination for unanswered calls.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 23
Features
Operator Call Key
The last Feature Key on an attendant telephone is permanently assigned as an Operator Call key. When the
operator has Intercom calls waiting to be answered, the calls queue under this key. The key winks (on) when
calls are queued.
The Operator Call key is a permanent assignment for all extensions assigned as operators. You cannot
change this assignment. Attendant Call Queuing is a permanent, non-programmable feature.
Attendant Position
The attendant is the focal point for call processing within the system. The system can have up to four attendants.
In addition to the features of a standard keyset, the attendant also has the following unique capabilities
(refer to the respective feature for details):
❥ Attendant Call Queuing (page 22)
Incoming Intercom calls from co-workers queue for the attendant. The callers never hear busy tone.
❥ Barge In (Intrusion) (page 25)
The attendant can break into another extension user’s established call. This option is enabled in the attendant’s
Class of Service (COS 1).
❥ Direct Line Access (page 36)
Direct Line Access lets the attendant user dial a code to access an individual line. This option is enabled
in the attendant’s Class of Service (COS 1).
❥ Forced Line Disconnect (page 45)
In an emergency, the attendant can release (disconnect) another user’s active outside call. This option is
enabled in the attendant’s Class of Service (COS 1).
❥ Line Queuing / Line Callback (page 53)
The attendant can Camp-On (queue) for a busy line. This option is enabled in the attendant’s Class of
Service (COS 1).
❥ Night Service / Night Ring (page 56)
An attendant with a System Night key can put the system in the night mode. This option is enabled in the
attendant’s Class of Service (COS 1).
❥ Removing Lines and Extensions from Service (page 65)
The attendant can remove problem lines from service —then return them to service once the problem is
corrected. This option is enabled because the attendant has Direct Line Access enabled in their Class of
Service (COS 1).
The attendant should use a 34-Button Display or 34-Button Super Display Telephone. In addition, most
attendants should find a DSS Console helpful when processing calls.
Auto Redial
Auto Redial periodically redials a busy outside number. If a keyset user places an outside call and the call
recipient is busy, the user can press a soft key to enable Auto Redial. The keyset user doesn’t have to retry
the number, hoping it will go through.
Auto Redial will periodically retry the number up to 15 times. Auto Redial cancels when the called party
rings or answers, or when the extension:
❥ Places or answers another outside call.
❥ Receives an Intercom voice announcement or answers an Intercom call by lifting the handset or pressing
SPEAKER.
❥ Presses SPEAKER to cancel Auto Redial.
The attendant is the system’s call processing focal point.
Instead of redialing, have Auto Redial periodically retry a busy outside number.
24 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
❥ Presses any other fixed feature key except MIC.
❥ Lifts and replaces the handset.
❥ Presses the CANCEL soft key (Super Display only).
Automatic Handsfree
Automatic Handsfree allows a keyset user to place or answer a call Handsfree by just pressing a key — without
lifting the handset or pressing SPEAKER first. If enabled, the system provides Automatic Handsfree for:
❥ Call Coverage keys
❥ Central Office Calls (line and loop calls)
❥ Group Call Pickup keys
❥ Hotline Keys
❥ Intercom (INTERCOM key)
❥ Last Number Redial (REDIAL key)
❥ Paging keys
❥ Park keys
❥ Personal Speed Dial bin keys
❥ Personal and System Speed Dial Feature Keys
The system always provides Automatic Handsfree for:
❥ Dial Number Preview
❥ Directory Dialing
Automatic Slot Configuration
Automatic Slot Configuration automatically sets up station and line PCBs when you initially power up the
system. This simplifies installation because you don’t have to use system programming to activate station
and line PCBs after you plug them in.
Here’s how Automatic Slot Configuration works:
1. With power off, install your station and line PCBs.
2. With the system powered down, install the station and line PCBs from left to right in the order you want
your extension and line numbers set up.
• Be sure to install a 16ESIU PCB in the first slot (CN1).
• You don’t have to group your station and line PCBs together, although it may be more convenient to
do so.
3. Power up the system.
4. On power up, the system scans the PCBs from left to right and sets up the extension and line numbering
as follows.
• Extension numbers will begin with 300 in the first slot and increment from left to right.
• Line numbers will begin with 101 (starting from the first installed line PCB) and will also increment
from left to right.
System reset does not cause reconfiguration. Automatic Slot Configuration is temporarily disabled during a
system reset.
Automatic Handsfree is a convenience for workers who don’t have a free hand to answer a call
or use a feature.
The system automatically installs PCBs when you power up the system.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 25
Features
Background Music
Background Music (BGM) sends music from a customer-provided music source to speakers in keysets. If an
extension user activates it, BGM plays whenever the extension is idle. Incoming calls and Paging announcements
temporarily override (turn off) Background Music. Background Music requires a customer-provided
external music.
Barge In (Intrusion)
Barge In permits an extension user to break into another extension user’s established call. This sets up a
three-way conversation between the intruding extension and the two parties on the initial call. The user can
Barge In on an Intercom call or outside call.
Battery Backup
In the event of commercial AC power failure, the NAND Flash memory on the CPU PCB permanently maintains
the site database. Additionally, an internal battery on the CPU provides short-term backup of the system
date and time (Real Time Clock) and certain station parameters (such as the Caller ID log). The battery
will hold the Real Time Clock and station parameters for up to 10-14 days. When commercial AC power is
restored, the system restarts with all programming and the time and date intact.
Additional Battery Backup capability can be provided by a customer-supplied Uninterruptable Power Supply
(UPS). The length of time the UPS will power the system when power fails depends on the capacity of
the UPS unit. Consult with the UPS manufacturer for the specifics.Refer to the Hardware Manual for additional
details.
Call Coverage Keys
A keyset can have Call Coverage Keys for a co-worker’s extensions, Ring Group master numbers and UCD
Group master numbers. The Call Coverage Key lights when the co-worker’s extension is busy, flashes slowly
when the co-worker has an incoming call, and flashes fast when the co-worker is in Do Not Disturb. The Call
Coverage Key can ring immediately when a call comes into the covered extension, ring after a delay or not
ring at all. In addition, the keyset user can press the Call Coverage Key to intercept their co-worker’s incoming
call. They can also go off hook and press the Call Coverage key to call the covered extension. An extension
can have as many Call Coverage Keys as they have available Feature Keys on their telephone.
Broadcast music through the telephone speaker for a more pleasing work environment.
In an emergency, use Barge In to get through to a co-worker right away.
CAUTION
Unauthorized intrusion on calls using this feature may be interpreted as an
invasion of privacy.
The system provides permanent backup of system memory.
Call Coverage keys allow an extension user to cover a co-worker’s calls from their own telephone.
Call Coverage Key Busy Lamp Indications
When the key is: The covered extension is:
Off Idle or not installed
26 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Call Coverage Keys will intercept the following types of calls:
❥ Key Ring Calls
❥ Ringing Intercom calls
❥ Calls to a UCD Group master number
❥ Calls ringing a Group Ring master number
❥ Transferred calls
Call Coverage Keys will not intercept a call ringing the attendant’s Operator Call Key.
Call Forwarding
Call Forwarding permits an extension user to redirect their call to another extension. The types of Call Forwarding
are:
❥ Call Forwarding when Not Answered
Calls ringing the extension forward when not answered.
❥ Call Forwarding when Busy or Not Answered
Calls ringing the extension forward when not answered, and all calls forward while the extension is busy.
❥ Call Forwarding Immediate
All calls to the extension forward immediately.
You can set up Call Forwarding to reroute all calls or just outside calls. If an extension with forwarding set
for outside calls only receives a screened Transfer, the initial voice-announcement broadcasts at the extension.
When the caller hangs up to complete the transfer, the outside call forwards as programmed.
Call Forwarding Chaining
Extension user’s can chain Call Forwards. For example, extension 301 can forward all calls immediately to
304, which in turn can forward all calls immediately to extension 302. Any co-worker calling 301 or 304
goes to 302 instead. If extension 302 is Call Forwarded to voice mail, callers to 301 or 304 go directly to
302’s mailbox.
Call Forwarding Cancel
Call Forwarding cancel allows a keyset user to dial a code to simultaneously cancel all Call Forwarding system-
wide. The extension must have access level 4 or 5.
Call Forwarding Key
A keyset user can have a key on their telephone or DSS Console assigned as a Call Forwarding key.
❥ While the extension is idle, pressing the key puts the extension in the Call Forwarding programming
mode - the same as pressing INTERCOM and dialing *3.
On Busy
Slow Flash Ringing
Medium Flash Covered extension is in DND for outside
calls (option 1).
Fast Flash Covered extension is in DND for Intercom
calls (option 2) or All Calls (option 3).
Call Forwarding ensures that the user’s calls are covered when they are away from their work area.

- If the extension has Call Forwarding disabled, and the user presses the key and waits (for at least 6
seconds), the prior Call Forwarding mode is automatically enabled (if any).
❥ While the extension is busy, pressing the key switches Call Forwarding on and off.
Call Forwarding Toggle in a Personal Speed Dial Bin
If an extension doesn’t have an available Feature Key for a Call Forwarding key, the user can program a Personal
Speed Dial bin for similar operation (without the BLF). To do this:
❥ While on hook, dial #77.
❥ Press the key for the Personal Speed Dial bin you want to program + HOLD.
❥ For LINE/GRP/ICM, press INTERCOM + HOLD.
❥ For NUM, dial *3 + HOLD.
❥ For NA, enter a name of your choosing + HOLD.
❥ Press SPEAKER to exit.
While the extension is idle, pressing the bin key puts the extension in the Call Forwarding programming
mode - the same as pressing INTERCOM and dialing *3.
❥ If the extension has Call Forwarding enabled, and the user presses the bin key and waits (for at least 6
seconds), Call Forwarding is automatically cancelled.
❥ If the extension has Call Forwarding disabled, and the user presses the bin key and waits (for at least 6
seconds), the prior Call Forwarding mode is automatically enabled (if any).
Call Forwarding Confirmation Tone
Keyset users will hear a single confirmation beep after enabling or cancelling Call Forwarding. Single line
telephone users will hear Intercom dial tone after enabling or cancelling Call Forwarding.
Call Forwarding Off Premises
Off Premises Call Forwarding allows a keyset user to forward their calls to an off-site location (such as a cell
phone or remote office) if allowed by their Class of Service. Keyset users can stay in touch by having Off
Premises Call Forwarding automatically forward their calls while they are away from the office. To set up
Off Premises Call Forwarding, the user selects the line or Line Group over which the call should route, as
well as the number the system should dial. The number dialed can be from an extension’s Personal Speed
Dial bin containing an outside number, or the user can enter an outside number directly into their Personal
Speed Dial bin 720. When a call rings the forwarded extension, the system selects the specified line or group
and then outdials the stored number.
Off Premises Call Forwarding reroutes:
❥ Intercom calls
❥ Transferred calls
❥ Direct Inward Lines
Call Forwarding Key BLF
This flash rate: Means:

When a user is out of the office, they can send their calls to their home office or cell phone.
28 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
❥ UTRF (unscreened transfer) calls routed from the voice mail Automated Attendant
❥ Circular and Terminal Extension Hunting calls
Off Premises Call Forwarding does not reroute:
❥ Key Ring calls
❥ Calls to a UCD Group master number.
❥ Group Ring calls (i.e., calls to a Ring Group master number)
❥ UCD Group Calls (i.e., calls to a UCD Group master number)
❥ Ringing Call Coverage key calls
You can set up Off Premises Call Forwarding to reroute all calls or just outside calls. If an extension with
forwarding set for outside calls only receives a screened Transfer, the initial voice-announcement broadcasts
at the extension. When the caller hangs up to complete the transfer, the outside call forwards as programmed.
Call Timer
Call Timer lets a keyset user with a Call Timer key time their outside calls on the telephone display. There
are two types of Call Timer keys:
❥ Manual Call Timer
Any time while placing a call or while on a call, a display keyset user can press their Manual Call Timer
key to start the Call Timer. The Call Timer will continue until the user hangs up or presses their Manual
Call Timer key again.
❥ Automatic Call Timer
In addition to the features of the Manual Call Timer key, the Automatic Call Timer key provides automatic
timing for outside calls. When a display keyset with an Automatic Call Timer key places or answers an outside
call, the Call Timer automatically starts when that outside call connects. The Automatic Call Timer
does not automatically start for Intercom calls. The Automatic Call Timer can also work like a Manual Call
Timer key. There is no need to have a Manual and Automatic Call Timer key on the same phone.
The Call Timer feature also provides:
❥ Review of Previously Timed Call
Any time after hanging up from a timed call, a display keyset user can press their Manual or Automatic
Call Timer key to review the duration of that call.
❥ Timer Reset for Current Call
While the display keyset user is timing their call, they can press CLEAR at any time to reset the Call
Timer to 00:00:00.
❥ Automatic Timer Stop
The system assigns the Call Timer to the active call. When the user terminates the active call, the Call
Timer automatically shuts down.
❥ Wrap-up Timer Display
After hanging up a timed call, a display keyset will show the Call Timer data for 6 seconds before returning
the display to idle. This gives the extension user adequate time to make a record of the timed call, if desired.
Call Waiting / Camp-On
With Call Waiting, an extension user may call a busy extension and wait in line (Camp-On) without hanging
up. When the user Camps-On (by dialing 2), the system signals the busy extension with two beeps indicating
the first waiting call. (The busy extension can be on a handset or Handsfree call.) The call goes through when
the extension becomes free.
Call Timer helps users that must keep track of their time on the phone.
Call Waiting helps busy extension users know when they have additional waiting calls. It also
lets callers wait in line for a busy extension without being forgotten.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 29
Features
If an extension has more than one caller waiting, they queue on a first-in/first-out basis (FIFO). The extension
will not hear Camp-On beeps for additional waiting calls.
Off-Hook Signaling also alerts the user when unanswered calls are waiting to get through. Turn to Off-Hook
Signaling (page 57) for more.
The following chart shows when the two types of Off-Hook Signaling occur. Note that Camp-On tones occur
for an extension when they are the exclusive recipient of the call (such as a DIL).
Callback
When an extension user calls a busy co-worker, they can leave a Callback request for a return call. The system
services Callback requests as follows:
❥ Caller at extension A leaves a Callback at extension B.
- Caller can place or answer additional calls in the mean time.
❥ When extension B becomes idle, the system rings extension A. This is the Callback ring.
❥ Once caller A answers the Callback ring, the system rings (formerly busy) extension B.
- If caller A doesn’t answer the Callback ring, the system cancels the Callback.
❥ As soon as caller B answers, the system sets up an Intercom call between A and B.
An extension user can leave a Callback at many extensions simultaneously. The system processes the Callbacks
as the extensions become free. In addition, many extensions can leave a Callback at the same extension.
The system processes these Callbacks on a first-in/first-out (FIFO) basis.
If an extension user leaves a Callback request and then fails to answer within four rings, the system cancels
the Callback.
Caller ID
Caller ID allows a display keyset to show an incoming caller’s telephone number (called Directory Number
or DN) and optional name as the call is ringing. Caller ID supports the telco’s Called Number Identification
(CNI) and Called Number Delivery (CND) service, when available. These services provide the Caller ID
information (i.e., messages) between the first and second ring burst of an incoming call.
Caller ID provides the following features:
Off-Hook Ringing Camp-On Tones
Key Ring Yes No
Transferred Outside Call Yes Yes
Direct Inward Line Yes Yes
Transfer from voice mail (UTRF) Yes Yes
Call Coverage Key Yes No
Group Call Pickup Key Yes No
With Callback, a user does not have to repeatedly call a busy extension back, hoping to find it idle.
Caller ID automatically displays the phone number and optional name for incoming outside calls.
30 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Single and Multiple Message Format Compatibility
There are two types of Caller ID message formats currently available: Single Data Message Format (SDMF)
and Multiple Data Message Format (MDMF). With Single Message Data Format, the telco sends only the
caller’s phone number (DN). The DN can be up to 10 digits long. In Multiple Data Message Format, the
telco sends the DN and the caller’s name. The DN for this format can be up to 15 digits long, and the name
provided can consist of up to 15 ASCII characters.
If no DN is received, no number or error message displays.
Caller ID on the SMDR Report
Caller ID data prints on the SMDR report. SDMF records print a single line which shows just the incoming
number. MDMF records print on two lines, with the first line showing the number and the second line showing
the name. Unlike the telephone display, the SMDR report can show the entire 15 digits in the DN, if
required.
Following is a sample SMDR report showing Caller ID data. The first two lines of the report show a complete
MDMF record with both the caller’s number and name. The last two lines of the report show two Caller
ID error messages: Private Number and Out of Area. The “IN” in the type column indicates that the records
shown are for incoming calls.
If no DN is received, no number or error message displays.

Caller ID Integration with Voice Mail
Caller ID fully integrates with IntraMail, UltraMail, and the NVM-Series voice mail systems. This enables
voice mail features such as Make Call with Caller ID. Make Call allows the voice mail subscriber to return a
call to someone who left them a message without knowing the calling party’s phone number.
Second Call Caller ID (Extension Level Call Waiting Caller ID)
While a display keyset user is busy on a call, the system can show the Caller ID information for a waiting
call. If the busy extension is programmed to receive Camp-On tones or Off-Hook Ringing from the waiting
call, the system will send the Caller ID data to the busy telephone’s display. If the busy extension does not
receive Camp-On tones or Off-Hook Ringing, it will also not receive the waiting call’s Caller ID. (Note that
Caller ID data from a Camp-On is displayed only once, corresponding to the single Camp-On beep.) This is
an internal system feature and does not use the telco’s Call Waiting Caller ID.
Third Party Caller ID Check
Third Party Caller ID Check allows an idle or busy keyset user to display the Caller ID data for another line.
The line that the user checks can be ringing or busy.
Caller ID Display Separator
An extension’s display can optionally show a calling party number separator. The separator is a dash after
the area code and after the local exchange on a 7 or 10 digit number. If disabled, the calling party number
displays without a separator.
Caller ID to Single Line Telephones
The system provides Caller ID data to single line ports. This allows single line Caller ID telephones to
receive the Caller ID data also available at keysets.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 31
Features
On Intercom calls, the single line telephone display will show the extension number and name (if programmed)
of the internal caller.
Caller ID Logging
When caller ID is enabled, Caller ID Logging stores a record of the caller’s number and name (if provided
by the telco) for each outside call that rings an extension. This allows an extension user to easily review and
redial their calls. The system can log records directly to an extension or to one of 8 Caller ID Logging
Groups. All the extensions in the same Logging Group share the same Caller ID records. Each extension or
Logging Group can store up to 99 Caller ID records. The system stores up to 1000 Caller ID records, allocated
among all extensions and Caller ID Logging Groups. All Caller ID records are retained when the system
is powered down or reset. If a line rings more than one extension simultaneously, the system logs the
call at all ringing extensions.
Central Office Calls, Answering
The system provides flexible routing of incoming CO calls to meet the exact site requirements.
Answering Priority
When multiple calls ring an extension simultaneously, the system services the ringing calls in the following
order:
1. Ringing Intercom call
2. Line or loop key (from lowest to highest)
Central Office Calls, Placing
The system provides flexibility in the way each extension user can place outgoing calls. A user can place a
call by:
❥ Pressing a Line Key
Any keyset can have line keys for one-touch access to specific lines.
❥ Pressing a Loop Key
Loop Keys provide a user with one-touch access to the assigned Loop Group. Loop Groups can consist
of one or more Line Groups.
❥ Using Line Dial-Up
With Line Dial-Up, a user can select a specific line by pressing INTERCOM and dialing the Line
Dial-Up code (#9) followed by the line number (1-64).
❥ Using Direct Line Access
Direct Line Access allows a user to access a line by pressing INTERCOM and dialing the line’s extension
number (e.g., 101 for line 1, 102 for line 2. etc.).
❥ Dialing a Line Group Access Code
User’s can also place outside calls by pressing INTERCOM and dialing a Line Group Access Code (90-98).
❥ Line Group Routing
If the system has Line Group Routing enabled, user’s get the first available line when they press INTERCOM
and dial 9.
An extension can store the caller’s name and phone number for easy review and redialing.
The system allows outside calls to ring and be answered at any combination of system extensions.
Customize the call placing options to meet the site requirements and each individual’s needs.
32 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Store and Forward
Store and Forward is an alternate method of placing outside calls in which the system stores (“collects”) the
digits a user dials, waits for the user to finish dialing, and then redials the digits on the selected line. Store
and forward provides Intercom dial tone to the caller as soon as they dial a line access code or press a loop
key, similar to conventional ARS operation. When the user has completed dialing, the system will dial out
the call over the connected line after 6 seconds or when the user dials #. Store and Forward can also be an
advantage when connected to a T1 service that does not provide line dial tone.
Post dialing for Store and Forward calls is also available. After a user dials using Store and Forward, they
can manually dial additional digits. The normal post dialing soft keys (such as AUTO REDIAL [ALND] for
Auto Redial) are also enabled.
❥ Store and Forward does not apply to line keys, Direct Line Access, or line dial up (i.e., #9 plus the line
number).
❥ You can use Account Codes with Store and Forward enabled (see Operation below).
Check Key
A keyset user can use the CHECK key to check keyset and DSS Console Feature Key assignments and Personal
Speed Dial bin names.
Class of Service
Class of Service (COS) sets various features and options for extensions and outside lines. The system allows
any number of extensions and lines to share the same Class of Service. The Class of Service options are provided
by the following programs:
❥ 140x-Station Options
- 1401-Features (page 628)
- 1402-Access (page 633)

Cordless Telephone
The DSX Cordless Lite II Telephone (P/N 730087) is a 900 Mhz digital narrow band FM cordless
telephone that provides mobility, flexibility and convenience for those who spend much of
the workday away from their desk. Fully integrated with the DSX system, the DSX Cordless
Lite II Telephone offers many standard features such as Call Forwarding, Call Coverage, Hotline,
and Voice Mail. Complemented by 4 fully programmable function keys (with LEDs), the
DSX Cordless Lite II Telephone achieves a whole new level of convenience and mobility. An
easy-to-read 16-character by 2-line LCD display (with four status icons), volume controls, a
rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Pack, and a handy belt clip round out the elegant
and affordable DSX Cordless Lite II Telephone.
Delayed Ringing
Delayed Ringing allows a line to start ringing a preset interval after the call starts flashing a line key. This is
helpful for co-workers that cover each other’s calls. For example, a secretary can have Delayed Ringing for
the lines that ring the boss’s telephone. If the boss doesn’t answer after the Delayed Ringing interval, the call
will start ringing the secretary’s extension.
Dial Number Preview
Dial Number Preview lets a display keyset user dial and review a number before the system dials it out.
Dial Tone Detection
The system can optionally detect precise CO dial tone for automatically dialed outside calls (such as Speed
Dial and Auto Redial calls). With Dial Tone Detection enabled for a line, the system will monitor the line
when initially seized for valid dial tone or stutter dial tone. If valid EIA/TIA dial tone is detected, the system
outdials the call on the line. If dial tone is not detected within 2 seconds, the system will try the next available
line in the same line to which the initial line belongs. If another line in the group is not available, the
user hears busy tone. Dial Tone Detection does not apply to manually dialed outside calls.
If Dial Tone Detection is disabled, the system waits 500mS after line seizure and then outdials the number.
If enabled, Dial Tone Detection applies to the following types of outside calls:
❥ Auto Redial (initial line seizure)
❥ Caller ID (callbacks)
❥ Last Number Redial
❥ Call Forwarding Off Premise

❥ Save
❥ Speed Dial
Direct Inward Dialing
Direct Inward Dialing (DID) lets outside callers directly dial system extensions. DID saves time for callers
who know the extension number they wish to reach. To place a DID call, the outside caller dials the local
exchange (NXX) and additional digits to ring the telephone system extension. For example, DID number
926-5400 can directly ring extension 400. The caller does not have to rely on an attendant or receptionist to
handle the call. Direct Inward Dialing is an efficient way to handle incoming calls, since callers can reach a
large block of extensions over a relatively small number of DID lines. Direct Inward Dialing requires a T1
PCB and T1 DID service with a block (range) of DID numbers from the telco.
For outgoing calls, DID lines operate identically to loop start lines.
In addition to direct dialing of system extensions, DID provides:
❥ DID Dialed Number Translation
The system provides a 100-entry DID Translation Table. This table gives you more flexibility when buying
DID service from the telco. If you can't buy the exact block of numbers you need (e.g., 300-399), use
the translation table to convert the digits received. For example, a translation table could convert digits
500-599 to extension numbers 300-399.
By default, the system uses the last 2 digits of the received DID number to route to extensions 300-399.
❥ Flexible DID Service Compatibility
You can program the system to be compatible with DID service of varying lengths (up to 8 digits). DID
service is typically 3 or 4 digits long. With 4 digit service, the telco sends 4 digits to the system for translation.
With 3 digit service, the telco sends 3 digits to the system for translation. Be sure to set up your
system for compatibility with the provided telco service. Additionally, the system is compatible with
Dial Pulse (DP) and DTMF DID signaling. DID lines can be either wink start or immediate start.
By default, there are no DID lines programmed.
❥ DID Station Intercept
DID Station Intercept automatically reroutes DID calls under certain conditions. There are 3 types of
DID Station Intercept:
- Busy/DND Intercept
If a caller dials an extension that is busy or in Do Not Disturb, the system routes the call to the
extension’s programmed DID Station Intercept destination.
- Ring No Answer Intercept
If a caller dials an extension that is unanswered, the system routes the call to the extension’s programmed
DID Station Intercept destination.
- Busy/DND and Ring No Answer Intercept
If a caller dials an extension that is busy, in Do Not Disturb, or is unanswered, the system routes the
call to the extension’s programmed DID Station Intercept destination.
By default, DID Station Intercept is disabled for all extensions.
❥ Line Overflow
If an incoming DID call is not answered at the destination extension or at the programmed intercept destination,
it routes according to Line Overflow. This ensures that the call has an answering point in the
system. Line Overflow typically routes to voice mail or to an extension. If the call is not answered at the
overflow extension, it normally diverts to Key Ring. If Line Overflow is disabled, an unanswered DID
call routes to Key Ring (and cannot overflow).
By default, Line Overflow is disabled. Unanswered calls route to Key Ring (and cannot overflow).
Directly dial system extensions from outside the system.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 35
Features
❥ Vacant Intercept
If a caller misdials or dials an extension that does not exist, or there is a DID Translation Table error,
Vacant Intercept handles the call routing. Vacant Intercept is always enabled. Since Line Overflow is disabled
by default, Vacant Intercept by default routes to Key Ring (and cannot overflow).
- If the telco doesn’t send any digits into the system, or
If the digits sent by the telco don’t correspond to a DID Translation Table entry, or
If the destination extension is out of service:
The call follows the 3112-Termination routing for the line. This includes the settings for Day Termination,
Day Overflow, Night Termination, and Night Overflow. The call is handled the same as
an analog line and follows the normal system timers.
- If the digits sent by the telco have a DID Translation Table entry with no corresponding destination
programmed:
No routing occurs and the caller hears busy tone.
❥ DID Camp-On
DID Camp-On sets what happens to DID calls to busy extensions when you have Busy/DND Intercept
disabled. With DID Camp-On enabled, a call to a busy extension camps-on to the extension. Without
DID Camp-On, the caller to the busy extension just hears busy tone (or follows the intercept programming
if enabled).
By default, DID Camp-On is disabled.
❥ DID Routing to Voice Mail
If a DID call is unanswered and is eventually routed to voice mail, it will route to the mailbox of the initial
DID destination. This is true regardless of whether the call routed to voice mail via DID Line Overflow,
Call Forwarding, or Extension Hunting.
ANI/DNIS Support
The system is compatible with telco's T1 Automatic Number Identification (ANI) and Dialed Number Information
Service (DNIS) services. ANI/DNIS services can be provided on T1 loop start, ground start, and DID
lines (but not E&M). ANI/DNIS Compatibility provides:
❥ Selectable Receive Format
You can set up the system for compatibility with any combination of ANI, DNIS and Dialed Number
(Address) data provided by the telco.
❥ Flexible Routing
The system can route the incoming call based on the received DNIS data and the entries stored in the
DID Translation Table.
❥ Caller ID
The system can use the received ANI data to display the caller’s number on the called extension’s display.
The ANI data can be up to 10 digits long. (Note that the T1 PCB can alternately receive normal
FSK-based Caller ID if provided by the telco, but cannot route on that data.)
Direct Inward Line
A Direct Inward Line (DIL) is a line that rings an extension directly. Since DILs only ring one extension,
employees always know which calls are for them. For example, a company operator can have a Direct
Inward Line for International Sales Information. When outside callers dial the DIL’s phone number, the call
rings the operator on the International Sales line key. The DIL does not ring other extensions.
Assigning a DIL to an extension automatically provides immediate ringing and incoming access for the line,
with no additional programming required.
A DIL can ring:
❥ Extension numbers (including the attendant’s extension)
❥ Ring Group master numbers
❥ UCD Group master numbers (including the voice mail master number)
A DIL lets an employee know which calls are just for them.
36 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Night Mode Control
The extension to which the line is terminated controls the night mode of the line. For example, if extension
301 has line 1 assigned as a DIL, the user can press DND to switch line 1 to its night routing destination.
Switching line 1 to night mode at extension 301 has no affect on the night mode of the system. This flexibility
could allow a service dispatcher with several DILs to independently send lines to their night destinations
without affecting the night mode of the entire system.
Direct Line Access
Direct Line Access lets an extension user access (seize) an individual line. After seizing the line, the user can
dial any outside telephone number without restriction. An extension’s Class of Service allows or denies
Direct Line Access. Direct Line Access is normally only provided for attendants, priority users and maintenance
personnel.
Direct Station Selection (DSS)
If an extension’s Direct Station Selection (DSS) Keys are enabled, Feature Keys automatically become
Direct Station Selection (DSS) keys when the user presses INTERCOM. Direct Station Selection provides an
extension user with one-button Intercom access and Transfer to co-workers. Each DSS key also provides a
Busy Lamp Field (BLF) for the assigned co-worker.
Priority users can access lines directly. Direct Line Access also lets maintenance personnel
access and test individual lines.
Quickly place and Transfer calls to co-workers, without having to look up or dial your coworker’s
extension numbers.
Important
• If you enable an extension’s DSS Keys and leave the extension’s default Prime Line programming
intact, the line keys automatically change to DSS keys when the user lifts the handset.
When the DSS/BLF key is: The covered extension is:
Off Idle

DSX Product Description Features ◆ 37
Features
Direct Station Selection (DSS) Console
The DSS Console (P/N 1090024 for black and P/N 090029
for white) gives a keyset user one-button access to extensions,
lines, and selected features. This saves time for users
that do a lot of call processing such as operators or dispatchers).
The system allows you to install 4 DSS Consoles maximum
per system. DSS Consoles use their own digital station
port and do not require a separate power supply. In
programming, you assign each installed console to an
“owner” keyset. Each console can only have one owner.
You can assign the following types of Feature Keys to a DSS Console.:
DSS Consoles provide one-touch access to extensions, lines, and system features.
• Account Code • Intercom Directory Dialing • Save Number Dialed
• Call Coverage (immediate,
delayed or no ring)
• Line keys • Speed Dial, Personal
• Call Forwarding • Message Center • Speed Dial, System

Directory Dialing
Directory Dialing allows a display keyset user to select a co-worker or outside call from a list of names,
rather than dialing the phone number. There are three types of directory Dialing:
❥ System (Company-Wide) Speed Dial names.
❥ Intercom names (including extension, Ring Group and UCD Group names).
❥ Personal Speed Dial names.
Distinctive Ringing
Distinctive Ringing allows the installer or keyset extension user to customize keyset ringing. This permits
the user to determine the type of call just by listening to their keyset ring. Distinctive Ringing provides:
❥ Distinctive Ring Configuration at Each Keyset
A keyset user can follow intuitive soft key menus to set up distinctive ringing for their phone. Their
phone will even play back the new ring tones as the distinctive rings are being set up.
❥ Line Override (Distinctive Ringing by Line and Ringing Mode)
Each line can have its own distinctive ringing for each ring mode (day, night, or delay). This allows a
keyset user, for example, to easily differentiate between new ringing calls and calls that are ringing their
phone after a delay.
❥ Extension Ring Override
Each keyset extension can additionally override a line’s distinctive ringing with the extension’s own
unique settings. Extension Ring Override helps identify ringing phones in large, open work areas.
❥ Key Ring Override
A keyset extension can set up unique ringing for each of its Call Coverage, Group Call Pickup, and line
keys. If a user needs to know what type of call is ringing their phone, Key Ring Override will help.
❥ Unique Ringing for UCD Groups and Ring Groups
UCD Groups and Ring Groups can have their own distinctive rings. This allows a user to tell the difference
between Intercom calls ringing their phone and UCD or Ring Group Calls.
The Distinctive Ringing Hierarchy
An extension’s Distinctive Ringing uses the following hierarchy:
1. Key Ring Override
2. Extension Ring Override
3. Line Override
4. Default ringing assigned by the system
This means that Line Override will replace the default ringing assigned by the system. Extension Ring Override
will in turn replace ringing set by Line Override. Finally, Key Ring Override will replace ringing set by
Extension Override or ringing set by Line Override.
Allows users to place Intercom or Speed Dial calls from a displayed list of names.
Allows users to customize their telephone’s ringing so they’ll know when calls are just for them.

Understanding Ring Types
The Ring Types determine how different types of calls rings extensions. Each Ring Type sounds unique
because it uses one of the 10 available ring tones. The first four Ring Types are assigned by default (see the
table below). The last two (B and C) are unassigned by default but you can assign on your phone using
Extension Override and Key Ring Override.
When Multiple Calls Ring an Extension
When multiple calls with different priorities are ringing an extension, the system prioritizes ringing according
to the list below. All LEDs will flash as appropriate for the type of call, but the telephone will ring only
for the highest priority call.
1. INTERCOM Key
2. Line Key (from lowest to highest)
3. Loop Key (from lowest to highest)
Do Not Disturb
Do Not Disturb (DND) blocks incoming calls, Off-Hook Signaling and Paging announcements. An extension
user can activate DND anytime while on a call or while their phone is idle. Once activated, incoming
outside calls still flash the line keys. The user may use the phone in the normal manner for placing and processing
calls.
Do Not Disturb provides the following 4 DND options:
(1) Incoming outside calls blocked
(2) Incoming Intercom calls blocked
(3) All incoming calls blocked
The Ring Types
Ring Type Call Type
Intercom Intercom ringing
This includes ringing Intercom calls, as well as calls ringing Extension Hunting

extension has enabled DND for Intercom calls (type 2).
Do Not Disturb Override
Do Not Disturb Override lets an extension user override another extension’s Do Not Disturb. This allows a
priority employee (such as a supervisor or executive) to get through to a co-worker right away while the coworker’s
phone is in Do Not Disturb. DND Override is available to all extensions that have DND Override
set in their Class of Service. It is also available to any extension that has a Hotline key for a co-worker, even
without the Class of Service option enabled.
Door Box
The Door Box (P/N 922450) is a self-contained analog Intercom unit typically used to monitor an entrance
door. A visitor at the door can press the Door Box call button (like a door bell). The Door Box then sends
chime tones or ringing to all extensions programmed to receive chimes. To answer the chime or ringing, the
called extension user just lifts the handset. This lets the extension user talk to the visitor at the Door Box.
The Door Box is convenient to have at a delivery entrance, for example. It is not necessary to have company
personnel monitor the delivery entrance; they just answer the Door Box instead.
❥DSX-80/160
In DSX-80/160, a Door Box connects to an available Door Box port on a 2PGDAD
Module (P/N 0891027). Each module supports up to two Door Boxes, with the maximum
number of Door Boxes installed limited only by the availability of station ports
to connect additional 2PGDAD Modules.
❥DSX-40
In DSX-40, the Door Box can connect to a 2PGDAD module or to one of the two
“built-in” Door Box ports. As in DSX-80/160, the maximum number of Door Boxes
installed is limited only by the availability of station ports to connect additional
2PGDAD Modules.
Refer to Optional Equipment in the Hardware Manual that came with your system for more or installing the
Analog Door Box.
Door Box Relays
Any keyset extension that receives Door Box chimes or ringing can control a control relay, which in turn
typically enables an electric strike on an entrance door next to the Door Box.
Door Box Alerts
The system uses Ring Groups to control Door Box alerts. When a visitor at the door presses the Door Box
call button, the Door Box will alert (chime or ring) all the extensions in the Ring Group to which the Door
Box belongs. For example, if Door Box 309 and extensions 301 and 302 are in Ring Group 1, pressing the
call button alerts 301 and 302.
Extended Ringing
Extended Ringing forces an unanswered call to ring a telephone an extended number of times before rerouting.
This helps a users that cannot get to their phone quickly to pick up calls (such as a warehouse worker).
Extended Ringing is available with the following features:
Easily override a co-worker’s Do Not Disturb.
Use a Door Box to remotely monitor an entrance door.
Lets calls ring longer that usual to assist co-workers that can’t readily get to their phones.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 43
Features
❥ Direct Inward Line
DILs ring for an extended period before routing to the overflow destination.
❥ Transfer
Transferred outside calls ring for an extended period before recalling the transferring extension.
Extension Hunting
Extension Hunting routes calls to a predefined group of hunt group member extensions. A call rings in
sequence through the hunt group until answered at a member extension. Extension Hunting is helpful, for
example, for a group of co-workers that share responsibility for answering calls. Each call cycles through the
group until an available member picks it up.
There are three types of Extension Hunting:
❥ Circular Hunting
❥ Terminal Hunting
❥ Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) Hunting
Circular Hunting
A Circular Hunting group consists of a group of extensions programmed into a Circular Hunting list. A call
unanswered at a member extension rings the next extension in the programmed list. If unanswered, the call
will continue to cycle through the hunt group. Depending on the hunt type (see below), Circular Hunting
will occur for transferred outside calls, DILs to a hunt group member, and ringing Intercom calls. Hunting
does not occur for Key Ring and Ring Group calls.
Terminal Hunting
A Terminal Hunting group consists of a group of extensions programmed into a Terminal Hunting list. A call
unanswered at a member extension rings the next extension in the programmed list. The call will cycle
through the group once, until it reaches the last extension in the list. Unlike Circular Hunting, the call will
not cycle back to the top of the hunt list. Depending on the hunt type (see below), Terminal Hunting will
occur for transferred outside calls, DILs to a hunt group member, and ringing Intercom calls. Hunting does
not occur for Key Ring and Ring Group calls.
Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) Hunting
Like Circular and Terminal Hunting, a UCD Hunting also consists of a group of extensions programmed into
a hunt list. The system routes calls into a UCD Group according to the frequency of use of the member
extensions. The first extension rung is the member that has been idle the longest. The last extension rung is
the member that has been idle the shortest.
Each member of the group is additionally associated with a UCD Master Extension Number. To activate
UCD Hunting, an incoming call must route to the UCD Group master number. This is done by placing an
Intercom call to the master number, transferring a call to the master number or setting up a DIL to the master
number. When all members of the UCD Group are busy, the call can route to the programmed UCD Overflow
destination.
Extension Locking
Extension Locking allows a keyset extension user to secure their phone when they leave the office. The user
may want to do this if their phone has Toll Restriction and Class of Service options enabled that could be
easily abused. While locked, the restrictions set up in Class of Service 15 and Toll Level 7 are in force at
the extension. When the user returns, they just unlock their extension to return it to normal operation.
Automatically route calls to co-workers that work closely together.
When they leave the office, a keyset user can secure their phone to prevent unauthorized use.
44 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
You’ll need to program the restrictions in Class of Service 15 and Toll Level 7 separately.
Walking Class of Service and Extension Locking
Walking Class of Service overrides Extension Locking. For example:
❥ Extension 301 is permitted by their Class of Service and Toll Restriction to use Paging and place long
distance calls.
❥ Extension 306 locks their extension. While locked, Class of Service 15 prevents Paging and Toll Level 7
prevents long distance calls. These features are no longer available at extension 306.
❥ The extension 301 user goes to extension 306 and implements Walking Class of Service.
❥ The extension 301 user can then use 306 to make long distance calls and Page (even though 306 was
locked to prevent those features).

Features
You can assign the following types of Feature Keys to an extension.
Flash
Flash allows an extension user to access certain CO and PBX features by interrupting line loop current.
Flash lets an extension user take full advantage of whatever features the connected telco or PBX offers. You
must set the Flash parameters for compatibility with the connected telco.
Flexible Numbering Plan
The system’s Flexible Numbering Plan allows you to change the digits users dial to reach the attendant,
other co-worker’s, outside lines, UCD Groups, and Ring Groups. The following chart shows the areas of the
system number plan you can change.
Forced Line Disconnect
Forced Line Disconnect allows an extension user to disconnect (release) another extension’s active outside
call. Forced Line Disconnect lets a user access a busy line in an emergency, when no other lines are available.

conversation. This can happen if a line does not properly disconnect when the outside party hangs up.
Group Call Pickup
Group Call Pickup allows an extension user to answer a call ringing an extension in their assigned Pickup
Group. This permits co-workers in the same Pickup Group to easily answer each other’s ringing calls. The
user can intercept the ringing call by dialing a code or pressing a programmed Group Call Pickup key. The
system has a maximum of eight Pickup Groups, with an unlimited number of extensions in each group.
However, an extension can be a member of only one pickup group.
Group Call Pickup can answer the following types of calls:
❥ Ringing Intercom calls
❥ Transferred calls
❥ Direct Inward Lines
❥ Calls on lines assigned to the Pickup Group
To simplify picking up calls, an extension can have Feature Keys assigned as Group Call Pickup keys. There
are three types of Group Call Pickup keys: immediate ring, no ring (lamp only), or delayed ring.
Group Listen
Group Listen permits a keyset user to talk on the handset and have their caller’s voice broadcast over the
telephone speaker. This lets the keyset user’s co-workers listen to the conversation. Group Listen turns off
the keyset’s Handsfree microphone so the caller does not hear the co-worker’s voices during a Group Listen.
When a keyset user sets up Group Listen, they hear their caller’s voice over the telephone speaker as well as
their handset.
Group Ring
Group Ring allows you to arrange extensions into Ring Groups for answering calls. When a call comes into
the Ring Group master number, all extensions in the group ring simultaneously. Any user in the Ring Group
can answer the call just by lifting the handset. The ringing call can be:
❥ A Direct Inward Line to the Ring Group (i.e., terminated to the Ring Group master number).
❥ An outside call transferred to the Ring Group master number.
❥ An intercom call to the Ring Group master number.
The system provides up to 8 Ring Groups (1-8). The Ring Group master numbers are predefined as 600-607,
but can be any valid extension number not already in use.
An unanswered DIL to the Ring Group master number can be picked up by the Ring Group Mailbox.
CAUTION
Forced Line Disconnect abruptly terminates the active call on the line. Only
use this feature in an emergency and when no other lines are available.
Easily answer a call ringing your Pickup Group, even if you don’t know which extension is ringing.
Use Group Listen to talk to an important client or customer and have your co-workers listen in
on the meeting.
Use Group Ring to call a group of co-worker’s simultaneously.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 47
Features
Handsfree and Handsfree Answerback
Handsfree
Handsfree allows a keyset user to process calls using the speaker and microphone in the telephone (instead
of the handset). Handsfree is a convenience for workers who don’t have a free hand to pick up the handset.
For example, a terminal operator could continue to enter data with both hands while talking on the phone.
Handsfree Answerback and Forced Intercom Ringing
Handsfree Answerback permits an extension user to respond to a voice-announced Intercom call by speaking
toward the phone, without lifting the handset. Like Handsfree, this is a convenience for workers who
don’t have a free hand to pick up the handset. Incoming Intercom calls alert with two beeps if the extension
has Handsfree Answerback — a single beep if it does not.
Forced Intercom Ringing causes an Intercom call to ring the destination extension. You can enable Forced
Intercom Ringing system-wide (for all extensions), or a user can dial a code to have their Intercom call ring
the destination.
Headset Compatibility
A keyset user can utilize a customer-provided headset in place of the handset. Like using Handsfree, using
the headset frees up the user’s hands for other work. However, the headset provides privacy not available
from Handsfree.
Headset Compatibility also provides the following features. (Note that while an extension is in the Headset
mode, the system ignores all hookswitch depressions.)
❥ Background Music
If programmed and connected, Background Music will broadcast over the telephone speaker while the
extension is in the Headset mode.
❥ Central Office Calls, Answering
An extension user in the Headset mode can press Volume Up and Volume Down to control the volume
of any call ringing their phone.
❥ Handsfree and Handsfree Answerback
An extension in the Headset mode can receive normal voice-announced Intercom calls, depending on system
programming. The extension user can respond to the voice-announced call by speaking toward the
phone (just like non-headset extensions). To answer the voice-announced call in the headset, the user just
presses SPEAKER after hearing the voice-announcement.
❥ Microphone Mute
While on a headset call, the extension user can press MUTE to mute (i.e., turn off) the headset microphone.
While responding to an Intercom call using Handsfree Answerback, pressing MUTE mutes the
Handsfree microphone.
❥ Off-Hook Signaling
Outside Calls
Depending on system programming, an extension in the headset mode can receive either Camp-On
beeps or Off-Hook Ringing for incoming outside calls (just like non-headset extensions).
Intercom Calls
Depending on system programming, an extension in the headset mode can receive either Camp-On
beeps or Voice Over announcements from a co-worker (just like non-headset extensions).
- Talk over the phone Handsfree, using the built-in speaker and microphone.
- With Handsfree Answerback, answer an Intercom call by just speaking toward your phone.
Have the privacy of a handset call without having to hold the handset.
48 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Hotline Calls
Depending on system programming, an extension in the headset mode can receive either Camp-On
beeps or Voice Over announcements from their Hotline partner.
Paging
Internal Paging announcements broadcast over the telephone speaker while the extension is in the Headset
mode.
Transfer
Screened and unscreened transfers work just like non-headset extensions. For example, if a headset
extension user presses SPEAKER to answer a screened transfer, the call will connect to their headset
when the transferring party hangs up. Note that Handsfree Transfers always connect to the headset extension’s
headset, not speakerphone.
Volume Control
While on a headset call, the extension user can press Volume Up and Volume Down to adjust the
receive volume in the headset.
Headset Key
A keyset user can have a Feature Key on their telephone or DSS Console assigned as a Headset key. The
user presses the key to enable or disable the headset mode, as an alternative to using the #HL User Programmable
Feature. The key lights while the extension is in the Headset mode, and is off while the Headset
mode is disabled. If an extension user is on a call, pressing the Headset key automatically switches the
active call to the headset. Pressing the Headset key again switches the call back to Handsfree.
Off-Hook Signaling and Headsets
Outside Calls (transfers and DILs)
If the extension is set up to receive Camp-On tones for waiting (transferred) outside calls, the user will hear
the Camp-On tones in their headset. They will also hear Camp-On tones in their headset for a waiting Direct
Inward Line (DIL). The extension will not, however, receive Camp-On tones for Key Ring calls ringing the
phone while it is in the headset mode.
An extension in the headset mode will not hear Off-Hook Ringing.
Intercom Calls
If the extension is set up to receive Camp-On tones for waiting Intercom calls, the user will hear tones in
their headset when a co-worker dials 2 to wait in line.
Hold
Hold lets an extension user put a call in a temporary waiting state. The caller on Hold hears silence or Music
on Hold, not conversation in the extension user’s work area. While the call waits on Hold, the extension user
may process calls or use a system feature. Outside calls left on Hold too long recall the extension that placed
them on Hold. If the recall is unanswered, the call diverts to Key Ring.
There are four types of Hold:
System (Regular) Hold
With System Hold, an outside call a user places on Hold flashes the line key (if programmed) at all other
keysets. Any keyset user with the flashing line key can pick up the call.
Exclusive Hold
When a user places a call on Exclusive Hold, only that user can pick up the call from Hold. The line appears
busy to all other keysets that have a key for the line. Exclusive Hold is important if the user doesn’t want a
co-worker picking up their call on Hold.
Have a call wait on Hold, then pick it up to continue the conversation.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 49
Features
Automatic Hold
Automatic Hold allows a user to be on an outside call, activate a feature, and automatically place the call on
Hold without first pressing the HOLD key. The system places a call on Hold automatically when the user
presses CONF, INTERCOM, or a Hotline key. Automatic Hold optionally allows a user, busy on an outside
call, to press another line key or a Call Coverage Key to automatically put their initial call on Hold.
Intercom Hold
A user can place an Intercom call on Hold. The Intercom call on Hold does not indicate at any other extension.
There is no Hold Recall for Intercom calls.
Distinctive Flash Rate on Recall
System Hold and Exclusive Hold recall feature a distinctive flash rate for line keys (see the chart below).
This allows the keyset extension user to easily differentiate new calls that are ringing from held calls that
are recalling.
Distinctive Flash Rate on Recall
For this type of call:
You see this flash rate:
System Hold Exclusive Hold
Call that you placed on Hold Single Wink On (green) Double Wink On (green)
Call that you initially placed on Hold
recalling your phone Double Wink On (green) Double Wink On (green)
Call a co-worker placed on Hold at
their extension Single Wink On (red) None (On red)
Call a co-worker initially placed on
Hold recalling your phone Double Wink On (red) Double Wink On (red)
50 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Hold Recall Display
The Hold recall display identifies:
❥ The type of call recalling the extension.
❥ The extension which initially placed the call on Hold.
The Hold recall displays occurs as the call is ringing the extension that initially placed it on Hold, and after
the call diverts to Key Ring.
Hotline
Hotline gives a keyset user with a programmed Hotline key one-button calling and Transfer to another extension
(the Hotline partner). Hotline helps co-workers that work closely together. The Hotline partners can call
or Transfer calls to each other just by pressing a single key.
In addition, the Hotline key shows the status of the partner’s extension:
Hotline Automatic Transfer
With Hotline Automatic Transfer, the extension can Transfer their call to a co-worker just by pressing their
Hotline key and hanging up. Without Hotline Automatic Transfer, the user must press TRANSFER before
pressing the Hotline key. If the user frequently uses their Hotline key for one-button Transfer to co-workers,
Hotline Automatic Transfer is recommended. If the user prefers to consult with their Hotline partner rather
than Transfer, disabling Hotline Automatic Transfer would be helpful.
Pressing a Hotline key can Transfer a call to an uninstalled extension’s mailbox (if the mailbox is
enabled).
Interactive Soft Keys
Interactive Soft Keys provide intuitive feature access. It is no longer necessary to remember feature codes to
access the telephone’s advanced features because the function of the soft keys change as the user process calls.
For example, while on an outside call a display keyset user can press the PARK soft key to Park their call in orbit.
Hotline provides partner extensions with one-button calling and Transfer.

DSX Product Description Features ◆ 51
Features
Intercom
Intercom gives extension users access to other extensions. This provides the system with complete internal
calling capability.
Handsfree Answerback and Forced Intercom Ringing
Handsfree Answerback permits an extension user to respond to a voice-announced Intercom call by speaking
toward the phone, without lifting the handset. Like Handsfree, this is a convenience for workers who
don’t have a free hand to pick up the handset. Incoming Intercom calls alert with two beeps if the extension
has Handsfree Answerback — a single beep if it does not.
Forced Intercom Ringing causes an Intercom call to ring the destination extension. You can enable Forced
Intercom Ringing system-wide (for all extensions), or a user can dial a code to have their Intercom call ring
the destination.
For more on setting up Handsfree Answerback and Forced Intercom Ringing, see Handsfree and Handsfree
Answerback (page 47) for more.
Key Ring
A Key Ring line rings an extension according to the settings in system programming. Multiple extensions
can be enabled to ring immediately or after a programmed delay for each incoming line call. In addition,
under certain conditions other types of outside calls divert to Key Ring if unanswered. The following conditions
also initiate Key Ring:
❥ Direct Inward Line
An unanswered DIL diverts to Key Ring if unanswered at the extension to which it is terminated.
❥ Hold
Calls left on Hold too long recall the extensions that initially placed them on Hold. If still unanswered,
they divert to Key Ring.
❥ Park
Calls parked in orbit recall the extension that initially parked them. If unanswered, the call diverts to
Key Ring.
❥ Transfer
An unanswered Transfer recalls the extension that initially transferred it. If still unanswered, the line
diverts to Key Ring.
Language Selection
Language Selection provides telephone displays for soft keys and system programming in English and Spanish.
You can select the language for each extension in system programming, or the extension user can choose
their language via the soft keys. Language Selection allows the system to easily accommodate bilingual
installations (English and Spanish). The telephone user can have their telephone display the language with
which they are most comfortable.
Use Intercom to call any co-worker.
So they are not forgotten, unanswered calls automatically ring co-worker’s extensions.
Set up a telephone to show displays and soft keys in English or Spanish.
52 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Last Number Redial
Last Number Redial allows an extension user to quickly redial the last outside number dialed. For example,
a user may quickly recall a busy or unanswered number without manually dialing the digits. Last Number
Redial saves in system memory the last 20 digits a user dials. The number can be any combination of digits
0-9, # and *. The system remembers the digits regardless of whether the call was answered, unanswered or
busy. The system normally uses the same line as for the initial call. However, if that line is busy and is part of
a Line Group, Last Number Redial will automatically select the next line in the group. The user can also preselect
a specific line if desired.
Enhanced Last Number Redial
If enabled, Enhanced Last Number Redial allows the extension user to select from the last 5 outside numbers
dialed. When the user places an outside call, the number dialed is stored in the Enhanced Last Number
Redial buffer. This buffer saves the 5 most recent numbers (including Speed Dial calls), with the most recent
call at the top of the buffer and the oldest number at the bottom of the buffer. Old calls get pushed off the bottom
of the buffer to make room for new calls at the top. If a user dials a number that is already stored in the
buffer, the system inserts the number at the top of the buffer and deletes the duplicate entry.
The numbers stored in the Enhanced Last Number Redial buffer are retained if the system resets or is powered
down.
Line Group Routing
With Line Group Routing enabled, an extension user can just press INTERCOM and dial 9 to place an outside
call. Line Group Routing automatically selects the first available line in the extension’s programmed
“dial 9” Line Group. This simplifies placing calls in systems that have a lot of lines for outgoing calls.
Rather than press one of many line keys, the user just dials 9 instead.
Line Groups
Extension users can optionally dial Line Group access codes 90-98 to select an available line in the group for
outgoing calls. This is helpful in applications that have different services arranged into Line Groups. For
example, dialing 90 could access a group of DDD lines for local calls, and dialing 91 could access a group of
WATS lines for long distance calls. Note that systems with Line Group Routing (page 52) enabled cannot
also dial Line Group access codes 90-98.
When a user dials a Line Group access code (90-98), the system selects the lowest number in the group that is
available. If that line is busy, it automatically selects the next highest line. If all lines in the group are busy, the
user can optionally queue for a line to become free. See Line Queuing / Line Callback (page 53) for more.
Quickly redial the last number dialed.
Dial a single code to place a call over the first available line in a Line Group.
Dial codes to access Line Groups for outgoing calls.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 53
Features
Line Keys
A line key provides an extension user with one-button access to outside lines. The extension user just presses
a line key to place or answer a call on the line. There is no need to dial codes to access or intercept outside
calls. In addition, a line key provides a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) for the line to which it is assigned (see the
table below).
Answering Priority
When multiple calls ring an extension simultaneously, the system services the ringing calls in the following
order:
1. Ringing Intercom call
2. Line or loop key (from lowest to highest)
- This option does not restrict loop keys.
Line Queuing / Line Callback
Line Queuing
Line Queueing permits an extension user to queue (wait in line) on hook for a busy line or Line Group to
become free. The system connects the queued extension as soon as the line is available. The user does not
have to manually retry the line later.
Line Callback
After queuing for a line, the extension user just hangs up to convert the Line Queue into a Line Callback.
When the line becomes free, the system automatically recalls the extension. As soon as the extension user
answers the callback ring, the system connects the extension to the line.
An extension user can leave a Line Callback for many lines. The system processes the callbacks as the lines
become free. In addition, many extensions can leave a Line Callback for the same line. The system processes
the Callbacks on a first-in/first-out (FIFO) basis.
Press a line key for one-touch access to an outside line.
Line Key BLF Indications
When the key is: The line is:
Off Idle or not installed
On (red) In use or on Exclusive Hold at a co-worker’s extension
On (green) In use at your extension
Wink On (red) On System Hold at a co-worker’s extension
Wink On (green) On System Hold at your extension
Double Wink On (green) On Exclusive Hold or recalling your extension
Slow Flash (red) Ringing into the system
Slow Flash (green) Ringing or recalling directly to your extension
- When all lines are busy, Line Queuing lets a user wait in line for a line to become free.
- Line Callback will automatically call the user back when a line is available.
54 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
If an extension user leaves a Line Callback request and then fails to answer the callback ring, the system cancels
the Callback.
Line Queuing Priority
Selected extensions can have Line Queuing Priority enabled in their Class of Service. If more than one
extension queues or leaves a Callback for a busy line, the system services the extension with Line Queuing
Priority first. If more than one extension with priority is queued for the same busy line, the system services
the priority extensions on a first-in/first-out (FIFO) basis.
- This option does not restrict Line Callback.
Loop Keys
Loop keys are Feature Keys that simplify the way extension users place and answer outside calls. There are
two types of loop keys: Switched Loop keys and Fixed Loop keys.
Switched Loop Keys
For incoming calls, Switched Loop keys provide an appearance for any line not assigned to a line key for
which the extension has access and ringing. Switched Loop keys insure that there is a visual appearance for
lines that do not ring an extension’s line keys.
For outgoing calls, Switched Loop keys provide convenient access to Line Groups. For example, instead of
pressing INTERCOM and dialing 90 for Line Group 90, the user can just press the Switched Loop key and
dial 0 instead.
Fixed Loop Keys
For outgoing calls, a Fixed Loop key is a loop key assigned to a specific Line Group. When the extension
user presses the Fixed Loop key for an outgoing call, they get the first line in the group assigned to the key.
For incoming calls, the Fixed Loop key works just like a Switched Loop key. It provides an appearance for
any line not assigned to a line key for which the extension has access and ringing.
Answering Priority
When multiple calls ring an extension simultaneously, the system services the ringing calls in the following
order:
1. Ringing Intercom call
2. Line or loop key (from lowest to highest)
Meet-Me Conference
With Meet-Me Conference, an extension user can set up a telephone meeting with their co-workers. Each
party joins the Conference by dialing a Meet Me Conference code. Meet Me Conference lets extension users
have a telephone meeting — without leaving the office. Users must join the meeting within the Meet-Me
Conference interval.
The system has two Meet-Me Conference codes (#11 and #12). After a Meet-Me Conference is set up and
the Meet-Me Conference interval expires, the code used becomes available for a new meeting. Since Meet-
Me Conference is a type of Conference, the system’s Conference capacity determines:
❥ The number of users that can join a Meet-Me Conference, and
❥ The number of simultaneous conferences.
Loop keys simplify answering and placing calls.
Set up a multiple-party telephone conversation with your co-workers.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 55
Features
The following table shows the Conference capacities:
The system’s 32 Conference circuits are dynamically allocated as users request them.
Message Waiting
An extension user can leave a Message Waiting indication at a busy or unanswered extension requesting a
return call. The indication is a flashing V-MAIL key and Ring/Message lamp at the called extension. Answering
the Message Waiting automatically calls the extension which left the indication. Message Waiting
ensures that a user will not have to recall an unanswered extension. It also ensures that a user will not miss
calls when their extension is busy or unattended.
An extension user can leave Messages Waiting at any number of extensions. Also, any number of extensions
can leave a Message Waiting at the same extension. If an extension has multiple messages waiting, the user
can scroll through their Messages Waiting and select a co-worker to call back.
Microphone Mute
Microphone Mute lets a keyset user turn off their phone’s handset or Handsfree microphone at any time.
While the extension is on-hook, Microphone Mute mutes the Handsfree microphone. While off-hook,
Microphone Mute mutes the handset microphone. Once activated, Microphone Mute prevents the caller
from hearing conversations in the user’s work area. The user can turn off the Handsfree or handset microphone
while their telephone is idle, busy on a call, in DND or while an outside call is ringing. Answering a
call automatically cancels Microphone Mute.
While an extension has their microphone muted, an incoming voice-announced Intercom call announces
with a single beep (splash tone).
Handsfree Reply Soft Key
Display keyset users can press their HF Reply (Hfrp) soft key to turn off their telephone’s Handsfree microphone
for incoming Intercom calls.

Talk to a co-worker in your office without your caller hearing the conversation.
56 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Monitor / Silent Monitor
Monitor lets an extension user listen to the conversation at a busy extension. To implement Monitor, an
extension user just calls a busy extension and dials the Monitor code. The busy extension and their caller
have no indication of the intrusion. There are no tones heard and there is no visual indication that monitoring
is occurring. For example, Monitor could help the supervisor of a service department. The department supervisor
could listen to the questions that callers ask without disturbing the service call.
Music on Hold
Music on Hold (MOH) plays music to calls on Hold, parked calls, and transferred calls. The music lets the
caller know that their call is waiting, not forgotten. Without Music on Hold, the system provides silence to
these types of calls. Music on Hold is available from one of four sources: two internal beep tones and two
audio input minijacks (which in turn connect to a customer-provided external music source.
With Music on Hold enabled, transferred callers can optionally listen to ringback or MOH while their call
waits at the transfer destination.
Names for Extensions and Lines
Extensions and lines can have names instead of just circuit numbers. These names show on a keyset’s display
when the user places or answers calls. Extension and line names make it easier to identify callers. The
user does not have to refer to a directory when processing calls. Extension and line names can consist of
upper and lower case letters, spaces and punctuation, and can be up to 18 characters long.
Night Service / Night Ring
Night Service redirects outside calls to their night mode destination. Typically, the attendant or supervisor
activates Night Service after normal working hours, when most employees are unavailable to answer calls.
Lines can ring extensions directly at Night, providing specific answering points for Night Service calls. (For
example, you can program lines to ring the security station at night.)
To have outside lines ring the External Paging system (which users can answer by dialing a code), see Outside
Call Ringing Over External Page (page 58). To have the ringing call also activate the system relay, see
Page Relay Control (page 58).
Night Service Keys
The night mode status of the system is controlled by the following 3 types of keys:
❥ Night Key Assigned as a System Night Key
This type of key controls the night mode status of all Key Ring lines as well as all lines that are Direct
Inward Lines (DILs) to Ring Group master numbers. The entry is 18 + CLEAR.
Monitor a co-worker’s phone conversation without them knowing you are on the phone.
CAUTION
Monitor provides no warning tones prior to intrusion. Monitor may be
interpreted as an invasion of privacy.
Callers can listen to music while waiting for their call to go through.
Names help identify lines and extensions.
Use Night Service to reroute calls after hours.
DSX Product Description Features ◆ 57

❥ Night Key Assigned as a UCD Night Key
This type of key controls the night mode status of all lines terminated to UCD Group master numbers. It
has no affect on Key Ring lines or lines terminated to Ring Group master numbers. The entry is 18 +
UCD Group master number.1
❥ An Extension’s DND Key
The DND key controls the night mode status of all lines that are DILs to the extension. In the day, the
line rings the extension. When the user presses DND, the DILs ring their programmed night mode destinations.
Off-Hook Signaling
When a user is busy on a call, Off-Hook Signaling indicates that another caller is trying to get through.
Off-Hook Signaling helps important callers get through, without waiting in line for the called extension to
become free. After the user hears the off-hook signal, they can use other system features (such as Hold or
Park) to process their active call and then answer the waiting call.
Off-Hook Signaling for Outside Calls
While a keyset user is on a call, Off-Hook Signaling for outside calls can be:
❥ While on a handset call,
- A flashing green Ring/Message lamp
- A flashing red or green line/loop key
- Muted off-hook ringing
(While Off-Hook Signaling ringing is occurring, use Volume Up and Volume Down to adjust the volume
of ringing.)
❥ While on a handset or Handsfree call,
- A flashing green line/loop key
- Camp-On tones
The following chart shows when the two types of Off-Hook Signaling occur. Note that Camp-On tones occur
for an extension when they are the exclusive recipient of the call (such as a DIL).
Off-Hook Signaling for Intercom Calls
While an extension user is on a handset or Handsfree call, they can receive Camp-On tones from a co-worker
that called them and dialed 2 to Camp-On. Turn to Call Waiting / Camp-On (page 28) for more on how to set
this up. Off-hook ringing for Intercom calls is not available.

While an extension is busy on a handset call, the system provides unique handling of Off-Hook Signaling for
calls from their Hotline partner. This unique handling occurs when the Hotline partner calls the extension by
first pressing their Hotline key. The Off-Hook Signaling can be Camp-On tones or Voice Over. The default is
Camp-On tones.
Paging
Paging lets extension users broadcast announcements to other keyset users and to external Paging speakers.
Paging allows a user to locate a co-worker or make an announcement without calling each extension individually.
There are two types of Paging: Internal Paging and External Paging.
Internal Paging
Internal Paging allows extension users to broadcast announcements into 7 internal Paging Zones and All Call
(all zone). When a user makes a zone page, the announcement broadcasts to all extensions assigned to the
specified zone. If the user makes an All Call announcement, the announcement simultaneously broadcasts to
extensions in all zones. All Call Paging automatically overrides any zone pages already in progress. A system
timer can optionally limit the duration of Paging announcements.
To simplify Paging access, a keyset can have Feature Keys assigned as Page keys.
External Paging
When a user pages into Internal All Call Page or Internal page Zone 1, the system simultaneously broadcasts
the announcement into the External Paging Zone. Refer to the system’s Hardware Manual for installation
details.
Page Relay Control
Page Relay Control allows an announcement broadcast into a Paging zone to activate a system relay. This relay
is typically used to activate a customer-provided Paging amplifier. You can assign these relays for Door Box
strike control or Page Relay Control, but not both. If the system relay is programmed for Page Relay Control,
and an extension or line is set up to ring over External Paging, the relay will activate when the extension or
line rings.
Outside Call Ringing Over External Page
Line ringing can optionally broadcast over External Paging speakers. For each line, the Paging speakers can
broadcast ringing for all calls ringing the line, for calls ringing only at night, or for delay ring calls. While a
line rings External Paging, any extension user can dial a code (INTERCOM + *0) to pick up the call. If the
system relay is programmed for Page Relay Control, and the line is set up to ring over External Paging,
the relay will activate when the line rings.
Use Paging to broadcast announcements or quickly locate co-workers.
Paging Key Busy Lamp Indications
When the key is: The zone is:
Off Idle
On (red) A co-worker is Paging into the assigned
zone
On (green) The extension user is Paging into the
assigned zone.

Features
If Door Box chimes, ringing, and Background Music are all programmed to output over External Paging, the
system uses the following broadcast priority:
❥ Paging
❥ Door Box chimes
❥ Ringing
❥ Background Music
Note that External Paging can broadcast either extension ringing or line ringing, not both. In addition, External
Paging requires additional customer-provided equipment. Refer to the Hardware Manual that came with
your system for more.
Intercom Ring Over External Page
An extension’s ringing can optionally broadcast over External Paging. If enabled, any type of call that rings
the extension will broadcast over the Paging speakers. While an Intercom call rings External Paging, any
extension user can dial a code (INTERCOM + *0) to pick up the call. If the system relay is programmed for
Page Relay Control, and an extension is set up to ring over External Paging, the relay will activate when
the extension rings.
Door Chime Over External Page
Door Box chimes can optionally broadcast over External Paging. While Door Box chimes broadcast over
External Paging, any extension user can dial a code (INTERCOM + *0) to answer the Door Box. After
answering, a keyset user can press a soft key or FLASH to control the Door Box relay.
Background Music Over External Page
Background Music (BGM) can optionally play over the External Paging speakers while Paging is idle. BGM
will automatically turn off while Paging, ringing or Door Box chimes broadcast from the external zone, and
restart when the external zone again becomes idle.
Ring Over Page Volume Adjustment
You can adjust the volume of ringing over the External Paging system. There are three volume adjustments: low
(5), medium (6), and high (4). This adjustment does not affect the volume of Background Music or Door Chimes.
Park
Park places an outside call in a waiting state (called a Park Orbit) so that an extension user may pick it up.
There are two types of Park: System and Personal. Use System Park when you want to have the call wait in
one of 10 system orbits (60-69). Personal Park allows you to Park a call at an extension so a co-worker can
pick it up. After parking a call, a user can Page the person receiving the call and hang up. The paged party
dials a code or presses a programmed System Park key to pick up the call. Many calls can be parked at the
same extension, and are retrieved in LIFO (last-in, first-out) order.
A call parked in System Park Orbit for too long will recall the extension that initially parked it. The recall for
System Park Orbits 68 and 69 is permanently fixed at 5 minutes. If the recall remains unanswered, the call
diverts to Key Ring.
A call parked in Personal Park Orbit for too long will initially recall to the extension at which it is parked. If
unanswered there, it recalls to the extension that parked the call. If still unanswered, it diverts to Key Ring.
Park a call in orbit so a co-worker can pick it up. With Park, it is not necessary to locate a
person to handle their calls.
60 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
When an extension has System Park keys, the keys provide a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) for the orbit assigned
to the key.
Distinctive Flash Rate on Recall
Park recall features a distinctive flash rate for line keys (see the chart below). This allows the keyset extension
user to easily differentiate new calls that are ringing from Parked calls that are recalling.
Personal Park Orbit Recall Display
The Personal Park Orbit recall display shows:
❥ On all extensions that are ringing with the recall:
- The type of recall (i.e., Personal Park).
❥ On the extension at which the call is parked (while it is ringing):
- The extension which initially parked the call.
❥ On all other extensions as they are ringing with the recall:
- The extension at which the call was initially parked.
The Personal Park Orbit recall display occurs:
❥ At the extension which initially received the Personal Park.
❥ At the extension which initially parked the call.
❥ At all other extensions after the call diverts to Key Ring.
System Park Orbit Recall Display
The System Park Orbit recall display shows:
❥ The orbit from which the call is recalling (e.g., 60).
❥ The extension that initially parked the call (e.g., 301).
The System Park Orbit recall display occurs as the call is ringing the extension that initially parked it, and
after the call diverts to Key Ring.
Park Key Busy Lamp Indications
When the key is: The Park orbit is:

Features
PBX / Centrex Compatibility
PBX/Centrex Access Codes
PBX Access Codes are the digits PBX extension users must dial to obtain outside lines. When the DSX is
installed behind a PBX, users must dial these codes before the digits for their outside call. For example, if
the PBX access code is 98, and the DSX user wants to reach 203-926-5400, they must dial 98-1-203-926-
5400. Normally, DSX Toll Restriction and Forced Account Codes are applied to the digits dialed after the
PBX Access Code. This is because any call dialed without the PBX access code is an internal PBX call, and
usually won’t require the restrictions imposed by Forced Account Codes and Toll Restriction.
PC Program (System Administrator)
The PC Program is a WindowsTM-based application you can use for programming the telephone
system and maintaining site databases, instead of using the conventional telephone programming.
The PC Program provides:
● On-Line Programming (Direct Connection)
With the PC connected to the telephone system’s serial USB, or Ethernet port, you can make
immediate changes to the telephone system programming. While connected, the PC Program
also allows you to save your new data to a file on the PC hard disk, or upload a “template”
database from your PC to the system.
● Remote Programming
Using an IP or modem connection between your PC and the remote system, you can customize
a customer’s system without leaving your office. Specify what is required for IP and
modem connections.
The DSX provides unique features when connected to a PBX or Centrex.
Use your PC or laptop to program the system remotely or while on-site.
62 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
● Off-Line Programming
With Off-Line Programming, the PC Program allows you to set up a database on your PC off
line, connect to the telephone system, and upload the entire custom configuration.
● Database Save and Restore
Use the PC Program to save a site’s data to your PC hard disk. You can easily restore the saved
data later on, if required.
Prime Line Preference
Prime Line Preference allows an extension user to place or answer a call by just lifting the handset. The user
does not have to press a line key, loop key, or the INTERCOM key first. This simplifies handling calls. In
programming, you designate a line key, loop key, the INTERCOM key, a line, or a Line Group as the extension’s
Prime Line. With a line key, loop key, line, or Line Group, the associated line (or lines) becomes your
Prime Line. With the INTERCOM key, you get Intercom dial tone when you lift the handset. Any number of
extensions can have the same Prime Line assignment.
There are two types of Prime Line Preference: Idle Prime Line and Intercom Prime Line.
Idle Prime Line
Idle Prime Line lets a user place or answer a Prime Line call by just lifting the handset. An extension’s Idle
Prime Line can be any line or Line Group, regardless of whether the extension has a line or loop key for the
line or group.
Idle Prime Line to any line or Line Group is also available at single line telephones.
Intercom Prime Line
With Intercom Prime Line, an idle extension user hears Intercom dial tone whenever they lift the handset or
press SPEAKER. Intercom Prime Line may help the extension user that most often uses Intercom functions
or calls co-workers. If an extension’s Busy Lamp Field is disabled (which is the default), the Feature Keys
do not go into the DSS mode when the user lifts the handset.
Prime Line vs. Ringing Line Preference
Ringing Line Preference has priority over Prime Line. For example, an extension with Ringing Line Preference
will answer a ringing line, not get dial tone on their Prime Line. In addition, a Ringing Prime Line will
have priority over any other ringing line. The seize priority is as follows:
• Ringing Prime Line
• Ringing non-Prime Line
• Prime Line
Privacy
An extension with Privacy blocks incoming Barge In attempts and Call Waiting (Camp-On) signals. Privacy
helps extension users that don’t want their conversations interrupted.
Note that if an extension with Privacy enabled is on a call with an extension with Privacy disabled, they are
still subject to Barge In attempts and Call Waiting signals to the non-private extension.
Privacy Release Groups
You can program extensions into Privacy Release Groups to simplify sharing outside calls. Co-workers in
the same Privacy Release Group can easily join another group member’s outside call just by pressing the
Get dial tone for a new outside or Intercom call just by lifting the handset.
Use Privacy to prevent interruptions at high priority extensions.
Quickly join in a co-worker’s outside call.

busy line -key. The co-worker immediately joins in unannounced and uninvited. Privacy Release Groups are
a quick alternative to Conference where control over the Conference is not required. In a Customer Service
group, for example, a supervisor could just press a busy line key to monitor any agent’s call.
If desired, an extension user can prevent other members of their Privacy Release Group from interrupting
their active call. This ensures that group members will not interrupt confidential calls.
Any number of extensions can be in the same Privacy Release Group. However, an extension can only be in
a single group. Members of the Group must have line keys and access to the lines they want to share.
Privacy Release Groups utilizes a Conference circuit. The following table shows the Conference capacities:
The system’s 32 Conference circuits are dynamically allocated as users request them.
Private Line
A Private Line is a line reserved for a keyset for placing and answering calls. A user with a Private Line
knows when important calls are for them. Additionally, the user has their own line for placing calls that is
not available to others in the system.
There are three types of Private Lines:
❥ Incoming Only
The keyset has a Private Line only for incoming calls. The user cannot place a call on the Private Line. A
customer service representative may want an incoming only Private Line to be sure customers can
always get through.
❥ Outgoing Only
The keyset has a Private Line only for outgoing calls. The Private Line does not ring for incoming calls.
A service dispatcher may want an outgoing only Private Line so they can always get in touch with field
technicians.
❥ Both Ways
The keyset has a Private Line for both incoming and outgoing calls. An executive may want a both ways
Private Line that is available only to them for placing and answering calls.
You can optionally set up shared Private Lines between a group of co-workers that work closely together.
Programmable Idle Menu Soft Keys (Super Display)
The Super Display Telephone idle menu soft keys are customizable in system programming and by the
extension user. This allows the idle mode display to be tailored to meet the needs of each Super Display
Telephone user. The first chart below shows the default idle menu soft key assignments. The second chart

Features
Pulse to Tone Conversion
An extension can use Pulse to Tone Conversion while placing an outside call to change the dialing mode
from dial pulse to DTMF. For a system in a dial pulse area, this permits users to access DTMF services (such
as telephone banking) from their DP area. Pulse to tone conversion also helps dial pulse callers use another
company’s automated attendant dialing options. The user can, for example:
❥ Place a call to their bank over a DP line.
❥ After the banking service answers, wait 6 seconds. (The system automatically converts dialing to DTMF.)
❥ Dial additional banking options.
Regional Defaults
Use the Regional Defaults capability to switch your system from the North American mode to the Latin
American mode. Switching your system to the Latin American mode makes the following changes:
❥ The default language in programming, SMDR, and all telephone displays is Spanish.
❥ The Latin American Toll Restriction options are enabled. This is set up when you initialize each Toll
Restriction Table.
Removing Lines and Extensions from Service
Supervisors and attendants can remove problem lines and extensions from service. This helps ensure maximum
system performance. For example, the attendant can busy-out a noisy line or problem extension until
service personnel can repair the problem. The line or extension the appears busy to all callers. Following
repair, the attendant or supervisor can return the line to service.
Reverse Voice Over
While on a handset call, Reverse Voice Over lets a busy keyset user make a private Intercom call to an idle
co-worker. The busy user just presses and holds down a programmed Reverse Voice Over key to make a private
call to the assigned co-worker. The initial caller cannot hear the Reverse Voice Over conversation. The
private Intercom call continues until the Reverse Voice Over caller releases the key again. The initial handset
call can be an outside call or an Intercom call. An extension can have Reverse Voice Over keys for more than
one co-worker.
Reverse Voice Over could help a salesperson, for example, when placing a call to an important client. The
salesperson can talk with the client and give special instructions to an assistant — without interrupting the
initial call.
Use special services (such as telephone banking) over dial pulse lines.
The system is compatible with both North American and Latin American applications.
Temporarily remove problem extensions and lines from service until they can be repaired.
Privately call a co-worker while you’re busy on your handset.

Reverse Voice Over uses a system Conference circuit while it is active. The following table shows the system’s
Conference capacities:
The system’s 32 Conference circuits are dynamically allocated as users request them.
Ringdown Extension
A Ringdown Extension automatically calls a co-worker, voice mail, a Ring Group, a UCD Group, or a Speed
Dial number when the user lifts the handset. The call automatically goes through — there is no need for the
user to dial digits or press additional keys. Ringdown extensions are frequently used for lobby phones, where
the caller just lifts the handset to get the information desk.
Ringing Line Preference
Ringing Line Preference lets a keyset user answer a ringing call by just lifting the handset. For a user that

3. Loop Key (from lowest to highest)
In addition, if two extensions with Ringing Line Preference answer the same outside call simultaneously, the
system connects the call to the lowest numbered extension.
Prime Line vs. Ringing Line Preference
Ringing Line Preference has priority over Prime Line. For example, an extension with Ringing Line Preference
will answer a ringing line, not get dial tone on their Prime Line. In addition, a ringing Prime Line will
have priority over any other ringing line. The seize priority is as follows:

Save Number Dialed
Save Number Dialed permits an extension user to save their last outside number and easily redial it later on.
For example, an extension user can recall a busy or unanswered number without manually dialing the digits.
The system retains the saved number until the user stores a new one in its place.
Save Number Dialed saves in system memory a dialed number up to 20 digits. The system remembers the
digits regardless of whether the call was answered, unanswered or busy. The system normally uses the same
line as for the initial call. However, if that line is busy and is part of a Line Group, Save Number Dialed will

Selectable Display Messaging
An extension user can select a pre programmed Selectable Display Message for their extension. Keyset callers
see the selected message when they call the user’s extension. Selectable Display Messaging provides personalized
text messaging. For example, an extension user could select the message “GONE FOR THE
DAY.” Any keyset user calling the extension would see the message. Other than displaying the message, the
system puts the call though normally.
The are 16 Selectable Display Messages (01-16) set up in system programming. Messages 01-09 are preset
by default, but can be changed to meet the site requirements. Messages 10-16 are initially undefined. Any
message can be appended by the extension user. For example, a user could select message 09 (OUT UNTIL)
and append the time they are expected back (e.g., 5:00). The total length of the message plus any user
appended entries cannot exceed 18. Selectable Display Messages cannot begin with numbers.
Following are the 16 default Selectable Display Messages.

Single Line Telephones
The system is compatible with 500 type (dial pulse) and 2500 type (DTMF) analog telephone devices. This
includes on-premises single line telephones (SLTs), fax machines, and modems.
In DSX-40, SLTs connect to analog ports in the main equipment cabinet. In DSX-80/160, SLTs connect to
SLIU PCBs. Each analog port provides power and ring voltage for the connected SLT. The analog ports use
DTMF receivers. Each system provides 10 DTMF receivers that are shared by all connected analog ports.
Message Waiting
Both DSX-40 and DSX-80/160 support FSK Message Waiting lamps. DSX-80/160 also provides support for
high voltage Message Waiting lamps – while DSX-40 does not.
Speed Dial
Speed Dial gives an extension user quick access to frequently called numbers. There are two types of Speed
Dial: System and Personal. Speed Dial numbers can be up to 32 digits long, using 0-9, # and *. Every Speed
Dial can have a programmed name up to 18 characters long. The name shows in the telephone display as the
Speed Dial number dials out.
Speed Dial can store outside numbers and Intercom digits. The capability to store Intercom digits provides
the user with “one-touch” access to features they use most often. For example, a user can have a Speed Dial
bin that simplifies forwarding calls to voice mail or a co-worker.
System Speed Dial
System Speed Dial gives every extension access to the same set of stored numbers. The system provides 999
System Speed Dial numbers. Users can access these numbers by pressing a uniquely programmed System
Speed Dial Feature Key or by dialing the Speed Dial bin number. Depending on the system option selected
(see Programming below), users have dial access to either 9, 99 or 999 System Speed Dial bins.
Personal Speed Dial
Personal Speed Dial provides extensions with 20 numbers stored privately for their own use. The Personal
Speed Dial keys on a DSS Console access the same bins as the extension to which it is attached.
Unique Speed Dial Entries
In addition to the digits 0-9, # and *, you can enter the following for additional dialing options:
Storing Line Routing in a Speed Dial Bin
When you program a Speed Dial bin, you can select either a line or a Line Group over which the call should
route. For example, you can enter 1 for line 1 or 90 for Line Group 90.
❥ If you enter a Line Group number, the system will follow the Line Group programming and select an
available line in the group for the call.
Connect analog devices such as single line telephones and fax machines to the system.
Instead of dialing a long telephone number to reach a client or customer, use Speed Dial
instead. Also, store Intercom digits for quick access to commonly used features.

Features
❥ If you enter a line number and the line is busy when the Speed Dial bin tries to dials out, the user hears
busy tone. If their extension has Line Queuing, they can dial 2 to queue for a line to become free. If they
hang up, the system converts the queue to a Line Callback.
❥ The capability to dial 90-98 to select a Line Group for a Speed Dial call is a permanent feature and not
affected by programming.
Centrex Compatibility
Speed Dial offers unique compatibility with connected Centrex services. A Speed Dial number can accommodate
both placing a new call and outdialing the stored Speed Dial number on an active Centrex line. This
enables features such as Centrex Transfer and Conference. Speed Dial adheres to the following rules.
1. When a user active on an outside call presses TRANSFER and selects a Speed Dial number (using any
method), the system examines the contents of the stored Speed Dial bin.
2. If the first entry in the bin is an F (Flash command), the system flashes the connected line and outdials
the contents of the bin (ignoring the line selection associated with the bin).
Note that this unique Centrex integration also pertains to voice mail ports accessing stored Speed Dial numbers.
Chaining Bins for Dialing Long Numbers
A Speed Dial number can be up to 32 digits long. The system allows this by automatically using the next
adjacent bin for entries longer than 16 digits. For example, assume you want to store a Personal Speed Dial
number for a banking service (203-926 5400) followed by a pause and your 10 digit customer code
(9876543210). If you store the entries in bin 701, the following occurs:
❥ The system stores the first 16 digits (203 926 5400 Pause 98765) in bin 701.
❥ The system stores the remaining digits (43210) in bin 702.
Chaining Notes:
❥ In the above example, bin 702 is inaccessible for viewing, programming, or dialing. It only becomes
available if you reprogram bin 701 to be 16 digits or less.
❥ Since bin 720 is the last Personal Speed Dial bin, it can contain only 16 digits.
Split (Alternate)
With Split, an extension user can split (alternate) between a current call and a new call. Split lets the extension
user easily alternate between the calls without joining (Conferencing) the parties together.
Switch between active calls without Conferencing the calls together.

Station Message Detail Recording
Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) provides a record of the system’s outside calls. Typically, the
record outputs to a customer-provided printer, terminal or SMDR data collection device. SMDR allows you to
monitor the usage at each extension and line. This makes charge-back and traffic management easier. SMDR
includes both incoming and outgoing calls, and can be turned off system-wide or selectively for each line.
The SMDR call record outputs when the call completes. The system assigns the SMDR record to the last
extension on the call. For example, if extension 306 answers the call, talks for 20 minutes, and then transfers
the call to extension 302, extension 302 “owns” the entire call record as soon as they hang up.
SMDR requires a customer-provided data collection device connected to the system’s RS-232 port. The
default baud rate is 38,400. The data format is fixed at 8 data bits, no parity, with one stop bit (8N1). Connection

DSX Product Description Features ◆ 75
Features
❥ E&M Tie Line Immediate Start (DTMF and Dial Pulse)
T1 gives the system the advantages of advanced digital calling as well as conserving PCB slots. For example,
you can set up a system with 12 loop start lines, six tie lines, and six DID lines and use only a single
PCB slot. Additionally, the T1 PCB has its own on-board processor and DSP so it minimally impacts other
system resources.
Note: Although the T1 PCB can connect directly to the telco’s T1 smart jack, your telco may require that you
purchase and install a separate Channel Service Unit (CSU). This unit installs between the smart jack and
the T1 PCB.
ANI/DNIS Support
The system is compatible with telco's T1 Automatic Number Identification (ANI) and Dialed Number Information
Service (DNIS) services. ANI/DNIS services can be provided on T1 loop start, ground start, and DID
lines (but not E&M). ANI/DNIS Compatibility provides:
❥ Selectable Receive Format
You can set up the system for compatibility with any combination of ANI, DNIS and Dialed Number
(Address) data provided by the telco.
❥ Flexible Routing for DID Lines
For DID lines, the system can route the incoming call based on the received DNIS data and the entries
stored in the DID Translation Table. See Direct Inward Line (page 35) for more.
❥ Caller ID
The system can use the received ANI data to display the caller’s number on the called extension’s display.
The ANI data can be up to 10 digits long.
FSK Caller ID
The T1 PCB can also receive FSK-based Caller ID (if provided by the telco), the same as the COIU (analog)
line cards. To receive this type of Caller ID, you must enable DSP Caller ID for the T1 line circuits in programming.
See the Programming below for more.
Tandem Calls / Unsupervised Conference
Tandem Calls allows an extension user to join two outside callers in a line-to-line conference. The extension
user can then drop out of the call, leaving the lines in an Unsupervised Conference. The extension user that
established the Conference is not part of the conversation. The Conference continues until either outside
party hangs up.
Tandem Calls uses a Conference circuit. The following table shows the system’s Conference capacities:
The system’s 32 Conference circuits are dynamically allocated as users request them.
Join two callers in Conference, leave the call and let their conversation continue.

76 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Tie Lines
Tie lines directly link a local DSX-80/160 telephone system with one or more remote DSX-80/160 systems.
The link is independent of the telco's switched network. When a local system user seizes a tie line, they hear
Intercom dial tone from the remote system. The user can then use many of the features normally available to
the remote system’s single line telephones, including:
❥ Dialing Intercom extensions in the remote system.
❥ Using the remote system's lines for outgoing calls.
❥ Accessing System Speed Dial bins in the remote system.
❥ Using the remote system’s Paging.
Tie Lines require a T1 PCB and Tie Line service from the telco.
Time and Date
The system Time and Date appears on display telephones and Station Message Detail Recording reports.
The system administrator can change the time and date from the system programming mode. In addition,
extension users can change the time and date from the User Programmable Features. Although the data is
entered in 24-hour format, it always displays in 12-hour format (e.g., 1300 = 1:00PM). The system can automatically
adjust the time for Daylight Savings Time.
Toll Restriction
Toll Restriction limits the numbers an extension user may dial. By allowing extensions to place only certain
types of calls, the system administrator can control long distance costs. The system applies Toll Restriction
according to an extension’s Toll Restriction Level. For each of the 7 Toll Restriction Levels, the administrator
can enable or disable the following options.
❥ Active Key Pad (Continuous Dialing)
Active Key Pad continuously enables the telephone key pad. This is important if co-workers typically
use dial-up services (such as automated banking) or frequently dial into voice mail systems. With Active
Key Pad disabled, the system disables the telephone key pad 6 seconds after the user has dialed their last
digit. Toll Restriction controls Active Key Pad for both incoming and outgoing calls.
❥ N11 Dialing
N11 Dialing enables or disables an extension’s ability to use N11 services such as directory assistance
(411) and repair (611). Consider enabling this option if the connected telco charges by the call (i.e.,
meters) these services. Note that the system never restricts a user from dialing 911 or 1 + 911.
❥ 0 + Dialing
0 + Dialing enables or disables an extension’s ability to manually dial 0 + (operator assisted) calls. These
calls typically include collect calls and credit card calls. Be sure to disable this option if you don’t want
co-workers making these types of calls. The setting of 0 + Dialing does not affect the operation of international
dialing (see the option immediately following).
❥ International (011) Dialing
Use the International Dialing option to restrict extension access to high-cost international (011) dialing.
You can, for example, enable international dialing for high priority users and executives while disabling
international dialing for all other co-workers.
❥ Equal Access (1010 + XXX) Dialing
Equal Access allows users to select long distance carriers other than your primary carrier. Your primary

carrier is the long distance provider you access when you seize a line and dial 1. To reach another provider,
dial 1010 and that provider’s three-digit code (e.g., 1010220). The system does not restrict the numbers
dialed after the Equal Access code, but can prevent users from dialing specific Equal Access codes.
❥ 1 + Dialing
This type of Toll Restriction can restrict:
- 1 + 3-digit (1 + NPA and 1 + NXX) dialing.
- 1 + 6-digit (1 + NPA + NXX) dialing.
❥ Dialing without a Leading 1
This type of Toll Restriction can restrict:
- 3-digit (NPA and NXX) dialing.
- 6-digit (NPA + NXX) dialing.
The Toll Restriction Tables
There are 5 separate tables for each Toll Restriction Level. Each table can hold up to 96 entries. The Toll
Restriction Tables can individually restrict:
❥ Equal Access Dialing.
❥ Calls dialed with a leading 1 (1 + Dialing).
❥ Calls dialed without a leading 1.
Transfer
Transfer permits an extension user to send (i.e., extend) an active call to any other extension in the system,
a Ring Group, UCD Group or voice mail. With Transfer, any extension user can quickly send a call to the
desired co-worker. A call a user transfers automatically recalls if not picked up at the destination extension.
If a transferred outside call is still unanswered, the call diverts to Key Ring. This assures that users do
not lose or inadvertently abandon their transfers. An extension user can Transfer both outside calls and
Intercom calls.
The system allows the following types of transfers:
❥ Screened Transfer
The transferring user announces the call to the destination before hanging up.
❥ Unscreened Transfer
The transferring party extends the call without an announcement.
Distinctive Flash Rate on Recall
Transfer recall features a distinctive flash rate for line keys (see the chart below). This allows the keyset
extension user to easily differentiate new calls that are ringing from transferred calls that are recalling.
Transfer Recall Display
The Transfer recall display occurs as the call is ringing the extension that initially transferred it as well as
after the call diverts to Key Ring. It identifies:
❥ The type of call recalling the extension.
Send the outside call you are on to a co-worker.
Distinctive Flash Rate on Transfer Recall

❥ The extension to which the call was initially transferred.
Handsfree Transfer
Handsfree Transfer allows an extension user to Transfer an outside call directly to a co-worker’s speakerphone.
Hotline Automatic Transfer
With Hotline Automatic Transfer, the extension can Transfer their call to a co-worker just by pressing their
Hotline key and hanging up. Without Hotline Automatic Transfer, the user must press TRANSFER before
pressing the Hotline key. If the user frequently uses their Hotline key for one-button Transfer to co-workers,
Hotline Automatic Transfer is recommended. If the user prefers to consult with their Hotline partner rather
than Transfer, disabling Hotline Automatic Transfer would be helpful.
• Pressing TRANSFER + Call Coverage Key can Transfer a call to an uninstalled extension’s mailbox
(if the mailbox is enabled).
• Pressing a Hotline key can also Transfer a call to an uninstalled extension’s mailbox (if the mailbox is
enabled).
User Programmable Features

Voice Mail
The system is fully compatible with IntraMail, UltraMail, and NVM-Series Voice Mail with Automated
Attendant Systems. These systems provide telephone users with comprehensive voice mail and Automated
Attendant features. Automated Attendant automatically answers the system’s incoming calls. After listening
to a customized message, an outside caller can dial a system extension or use voice mail. When installing
voice mail, refer to the documentation provided with your voice mail system for the specifics.
Integrated voice mail enhances the telephone system with the following features:
Call Forwarding to Voice Mail
An extension user can forward their calls to voice mail. Once forwarded, calls to the extension connect to
that extension’s mailbox. The caller can leave a message in the mailbox instead of calling back later. Forwarding
can occur for all calls immediately, for unanswered calls or when the extension is busy, or just for
unanswered calls.
Leaving a Message
Voice mail lets a keyset extension user easily leave a message at an extension that is unanswered, busy, or in
Do Not Disturb. The caller just presses V-MAIL to leave a message in the called extension’s mailbox. There
is no need to call back later.

Transferring to Voice Mail
By using Transfer to Voice Mail, an extension user can Transfer a call to the user’s own or a co-worker’s
mailbox. After the Transfer goes through, the caller can leave a message in the mailbox. The caller will hear
the entire mailbox greeting after the Transfer goes through.
Conversation Record
While on a call, an extension user can have voice mail record the conversation. The keyset user just presses
their Record key. Once recorded, the voice mail stores the conversation as a new message in the user’s mailbox.
After calling their mailbox, a user can save, edit or delete the recorded conversation. The ability to use
Conversation Record is controlled by an extension’s Class of Service.
Conversation Record Key for a Co-worker’s Mailbox
An extension user can have a Record key for a co-worker’s mailbox. While on a call, the user can press the
key to record their conversation directly into the co-worker’s mailbox. The user can set up the Record key to
record into any valid Subscriber Mailbox (including IntraMail Group Mailboxes and Master Mailboxes programmed
as Subscriber Mailboxes). This could help a dispatcher, for example, that wants to record a conversation
with a client right into the responsible technician’s mailbox.
An extension can have multiple Record keys, each associated with a different mailbox. In addition, setting
up a Record key for a co-worker’s mailbox is also available on DSS Consoles.
Personal Answering Machine Emulation
A keyset user can have their idle extension emulate a personal answering machine. This lets voice mail
screen their calls, just like their answering machine at home. If activated, the extension’s incoming calls
route to the user’s Subscriber Mailbox. Once the mailbox answers, the user hears the caller’s incoming message.
The keyset user can then:
❥ Let the call go through to their mailbox.
❥ Intercept the call before it goes to their mailbox.
Personal Answering Machine Emulation will intercept the following types of calls:
❥ Intercom calls
❥ Direct Inward Lines to the extension
❥ Automated Attendant Unscreened Transfers
❥ Automated Attendant Screened Transfers
Personal Answering Machine Emulation will not intercept a call manually transferred to an extension.
Voice Mail Overflow
Voice mail can be the overflow destination for the following types of calls (refer to the individual features for
the specifics):
❥ Direct Inward Line (page 35)
A line that directly rings an extension can overflow to voice mail.
❥ Extension Hunting (page 43)
Caution
The use of monitoring, recording, or listening devices to eavesdrop, monitor, retrieve, or record telephone
conversations or other sound activities, whether or not contemporaneous with transmission, may be illegal
in certain circumstances under federal or state laws. Legal advice should be sought prior to implementing
any practice that monitors or records any telephone conversation. Some federal and state laws
require some form of notification to all parties to a telephone conversation, such as using a beep tone or
other notification methods or requiring the consent of all parties to the telephone conversation, prior to
monitoring or recording the telephone conversation.Some of these laws incorporate strict penalties.
Refer to Call Screening (page 102). You may find that Call Screening better meets your requirements.
82 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
A line that rings an Extension Hunting group can overflow to voice mail.
❥ Group Ring (page 46)
A line that rings a group of extensions can overflow to voice mail.
❥ Key Ring (page 51)
A line ringing an extension’s line keys can overflow to voice mail.
Message Center Mailbox
A Message Center Mailbox is a mailbox shared by more than one extension. Any keyset that has a Message
Center Key for the shared mailbox can:
❥ Listen to the messages stored in the mailbox.
❥ Transfer calls to the shared mailbox.
❥ Use many other voice mail features previously available only at an extension’s individual mailbox.
A Message Center Mailbox helps co-workers that work together closely - such as members of the same
Pickup Group. For example, the group supervisor can send important messages to the shared Message Center
Mailbox, to which any group member can respond when time allows. Each group member’s Message
Center Key flashes (green) when messages are waiting.
Interactive Soft Key Shows New Messages
The Display and Super Display Telephone interactive soft keys show the number of new messages in the
user’s mailbox. For example, if a Display Telephone user has 2 new messages in their mailbox, their voice
mail soft key shows: VM02. If a Super Display Telephone user has 2 new messages in their mailbox, their
voice mail soft key shows V-Mail 02. The new message count resets to 00 as soon as the user calls their mailbox
(regardless of whether the new messages were listened to). The message count returns when the system
updates the Ring/Message lamp on the phone.
Voice Over
Voice Over lets a user get through to a keyset extension user busy on a handset call. With Voice Over, the
busy keyset extension user hears an alert tone followed by the voice of the interrupting party. The keyset
extension user can respond to the interrupting party without being heard by the original caller. If desired, the
keyset extension user can easily switch between their original caller and the interrupting co-worker. The
original caller and the interrupting party can never hear each other’s conversation.
Voice Over could help a lawyer, for example, waiting for an urgent call. While on a call with another client, the
lawyer’s paralegal could announce the urgent call as soon as it comes in. The lawyer could then give the paralegal
instructions on how to handle the situation — all without the original client hearing the conversation.
Either a keyset or SLT can initiate a Voice Over, but only a keyset can receive a Voice Over.
Voice Over uses a system Conference circuit. The following table shows the system’s Conference capacities:

Volume and Contrast Controls
A keyset user can press Volume Up and Volume Down to interactively adjust the volume of the following
features while they are active:
❥ Intercom handset calls
❥ Intercom Handsfree calls
❥ Outside handset calls
❥ Outside Handsfree calls
❥ Paging receive volume
❥ Background Music
❥ Ringing
❥ Off-Hook Ringing
There are nine steps in the Volume Control adjustment range. This makes it easier for the keyset user to set
up just the right volume levels. The settings a user makes are retained after a system reset or power-down.
Volume Control Presets
The volume control presets allow the keyset user to preset the default volume for Ringing, Off-Hook Ringing,
and incoming Page announcements while their telephone is idle. Presets for the remaining volume controls
are not required since the user can easily adjust those volumes while idle. For example, to adjust the
volume of Background Music, just press HOLD to active BGM and then adjust the volume.
Display Brightness and Contrast Control
While a keyset is idle, pressing Volume Up or Volume Down adjusts the contrast of the display. There are
eight user-selectable contrast control values. The value a user sets is “remembered” by the system and automatically
restored in the event of a power down or system reset.
Display Brightness and Contrast Control Presets
The brightness and contrast control presets let the keyset user preset the default active brightness, idle
brightness, and contrast for their keyset display. The brightness presets are not available to a 24-button keyset
since it doesn’t offer a backlit display.

84 ◆ Features DSX Product Description
Walking Class of Service
Walking Class of Service allows an extension user to temporarily implement their Toll Restriction and Class
of Service settings at a co-worker’s keyset. This is normally used to override dialing restrictions at a telephone.
For example, an executive with an unrestricted phone can walk to any keyset in the building, implement
Walking Class of Service, and dial without restriction. After the keyset goes idle, Walking Class of
Service remains in effect for 10 seconds. This permits the user to make multiple calls before the keyset
returns to its normal restrictions.
Walking Class of Service and Extension Locking
Walking Class of Service overrides Extension Locking. For example:
❥ Extension 301 is permitted by their Class of Service and Toll Restriction to use Paging and place long
distance calls.
❥ Extension 306 locks their extension. While locked, Class of Service 15 prevents Paging and Toll Level 7
prevents long distance calls. These features are no longer available at extension 306.
❥ The extension 301 user goes to extension 306 and implements Walking Class of Service.
❥ The extension 301 user can then use 306 to make long distance calls and Page (even though 306 was
locked to prevent those features).
An extension user can temporarily use their Toll Restriction and Class of Service options at a
co-worker’s phone.

Announcement Mailbox
An Announcement Mailbox plays a pre-recorded announcement to Automated Attendant callers without
providing dialing options. The Announcement Mailbox is typically set up to provide information to callers
(such as company directions) and then route back to the Automated Attendant. For example:
❥ The Automated Attendant instructs the caller to dial a digit (e.g., 1) for company directions.
- Record this in the Instruction Menu message for the active Call Routing Mailbox. See Instruction
Menu (page 112) for more.
- Set the dialing options in the Dial Action Table associated with the active Call Routing Mailbox.
See Dial Action Table (page 104) for more.
❥ The caller dials the digit and listens to the prerecorded Announcement Mailbox message for directions.
❥ After playing the directions, the caller routes back to the Automated Attendant for additional dialing options.
Announcement Message
The Announcement Message is the voice message that the System Administrator records for a specific
Announcement Mailbox.
Answer Schedule Override
Answer Schedule Override provides alternate answering for Automated Attendant calls. When enabled,
Answer Schedule Override sends calls to the specified Override Mailbox. The Override Mailbox can be an
Announcement, Call Routing, or Subscriber mailbox. You can use Answer Schedule Override to provide
holiday and bad weather closing announcements, for example. Enable override when you want callers to
hear the special announcements; disable override to have the Automated Attendant answer normally. You can
enable Answer Schedule Override from system programming or from the System Administrator Mailbox.
❥ If the Override Mailbox is an Announcement Mailbox, the outside caller will hear the recorded
announcement. Depending on how the Announcement Mailbox is programmed, IntraMail will then hang
up, reroute the call, or provide additional dialing options.
❥ If the Override Mailbox is a Call Routing Mailbox, the outside caller will hear the instruction menu and
can dial any options allowed by the associated Dial Action Table.
❥ If the Override Mailbox is a Subscriber Mailbox, the outside caller hears the mailbox greeting (if
recorded) and can leave a message.
Answer Tables
The Answer Table determines how the Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each line, according to
the time of the day and day of the week that the call is ringing. IntraMail provides 8 Answer Tables. The
Answer Table is an integral part of the Automated Attendant. The Automated Attendant can automatically
answer the telephone system’s incoming calls, play an Instruction Menu message, and provide dialing
options to callers.There are 3 major Automated Attendant components:
❥ Answer Tables
The Answer Table (8 maximum) determines how the Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each
line, according to the time of the day and day of the week that the call is ringing. The Answer Table
divides the time of day and day of the week into individual schedules, which in turn assign a Call Rout-

Features
ing Mailbox to each call. When a specific schedule is not in effect, the Answer Table uses its Default
Mailbox to determine routing.
- By default, all lines use Answer Table 1. Answer Table 1 has a single schedule that runs Monday
through Friday from 8:30AM to 5:00PM.
❥ Call Routing Mailbox (page 102)
A Call Routing Mailbox (16 maximum) is a mailbox associated with an individual Answer Table schedule or
the Default Mailbox. It specifies which dialing options (Dial Action Table) are available to callers. It also
provides the Instruction Menu to callers which typically greets the callers and describes the dialing options.
✔ By default, Answer Table 1 has a single schedule that runs Monday through Friday from 8:30AM to
5:00PM. This schedule and the Default Mailbox both use Call Routing Mailbox 1.
❥ Dial Action Table (page 104)
Once the Automated Attendant answers, the Dial Action Table (16 maximum) provides the dialing
options to callers. Each digit a caller can dial is assigned a specific action (function) in the Dial Action
Table. The dial action used depends on the setting in the active Call Routing Mailbox, which in turn
depends on the Answer Table setup.
✔ By default, Call Routing Mailbox 1 uses Dial Action Table 1.
The Default Mailbox and Routing Hierarchy
The Default Mailbox provides routing for an Answer Table during periods when a schedule is not in effect.
By default, for example, Answer Table 1 Schedule 1 is active Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00
PM. The Default Mailbox for Answer Table 1 is active during all other times (i.e., evenings and weekends).
Since Schedule 1 and the Default Mailbox both use Call Routing Mailbox 1, initially the routing is the same
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. See Customizing an Answer Table below for more.
When setting up your Answer Tables, keep in mind that a more specific type of routing has priority over a
less specific type of routing. When selecting which routing to follow when there is more than one choice for
a specific time, IntraMail will choose in the following order:
- Date Schedule
- Day of Week Schedule
- Range of Days Schedule
- Default Mailbox
For example, a Date Schedule set up for Christmas day will have priority over any other schedules in effect
on December 25.
Answering Machine Emulation
A user’s keyset can work like a home answering machine. This lets IntraMail screen their calls, just like their
answering machine at home. If activated, the extension’s incoming calls route to the user’s Subscriber Mailbox.
Once the mailbox answers, the user hears two alert tones followed by the caller’s incoming message.
The keyset user can then:
❥ Let the call go through to their mailbox, or
❥ Intercept the call.
Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb
When a subscriber enables Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb, Automated Attendant calls to their extension go
directly to their mailbox. Their phone will not ring for calls from the Automated Attendant. You can optionally
enable Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb from system programming. A subscriber typically turns on Auto
Attendant Do Not Disturb when they need to work at their desk undisturbed by outside calls from the Automated
Attendant.
A keyset on the connected telephone system can work like a home answering machine.
Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb sends Automated Attendant calls directly to an extension user’s
mailbox. Their phone will not ring for calls from the Automated Attendant.
98 ◆ IntraMail Features DSX Product Description
Keep in mind that Auto Attendant Do Not Disturb will not block Intercom calls from co-workers or any other
type of outside call not routed through the Automated Attendant. For example, with Automated Attendant Do
Not Disturb enabled, Direct Inwards Lines and transferred outside calls to an extension work normally.
Auto Erase or Save
When a mailbox user completely listens to a new message and then exits their mailbox, IntraMail will either
automatically save or erase the message. The setting of this option depends on how the subscriber would prefer
their mailbox to operate. When set to erase, the subscriber can review their messages and retain only those
they specifically save using the SA option. This is a good choice for a subscriber that receives frequent unessential
messages. When set to save, the subscriber has the assurance of knowing that every message they listened
to was saved in their mailbox. This is a good choice for those that must carefully review and consider
each new message.
Handling Partially Reviewed Messages
When listening to multiple new messages when Auto Erase or Save is set to Save:
❥ Any message to which you partially listen is automatically saved.
❥ Any message to which you hang up during or do not listen is retained as a new message.
For example, if you have three new messages, listen to part of message 1, dial L to hear part of message 2
and then hang up, IntraMail automatically:
❥ Saves message 1.
❥ Retains messages 2 and 3 as new messages.
❥ Restarts the flashing ring/message lamp.
❥ Resets the telephone display to V-MAIL 02 (VM02).
When listening to multiple new messages when Auto Erase or Save is set to Erase:
❥ Any message to which you partially listen is automatically erased.
❥ Any message to which you hang up during or do not listen is retained as a new message.
For example, if you have three new messages, listen to part of message 1, dial L to hear part of message 2
and then hang up, IntraMail automatically:
❥ Erases message 1.
❥ Retains messages 2 and 3 as new messages.
❥ Restarts the flashing ring/message lamp.
❥ Resets the telephone display to V-MAIL 02 (VM02).
Auto Time Stamp
After a Subscriber Mailbox user listens to a message, IntraMail can optionally announce the time and date
the message was left. The Subscriber can enable Auto Time Stamp from their mailbox, or you can optionally
enable it from system programming. Auto Time Stamp helps if the subscriber needs to know the time and
date of each message they receive without taking any extra steps. With Auto Time Stamp turned on, Intra-
Mail automatically announces the date, time, and (optionally) the caller’s number at the end of each message.
With Auto Time Stamp turned off, the subscriber must dial TI while listening to a message to get the
same information.
When a mailbox user completely listens to a new message and then exits their mailbox,
IntraMail will either save or erase the message.

Automated Attendant
The Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each line, according to the time of the day and day of the
week that the call is ringing. The Automated Attendant can automatically answer the telephone system’s incoming
calls, play an Instruction Menu message, and provide dialing options to callers. There are 3 major components:
❥ Answer Tables (page 96)
The Answer Table (8 maximum) determines how the Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each
line, according to the time of the day and day of the week that the call is ringing. The Answer Table
divides the time of day and day of the week into individual schedules, which in turn assign a Call Routing
Mailbox to each call. When a specific schedule is not in effect, the Answer Table uses its Default
Mailbox to determine routing.
- By default, all lines use Answer Table 1. Answer Table 1 has a single schedule that runs Monday
through Friday from 8:30AM to 5:00PM.
❥ Call Routing Mailbox (page 102)
A Call Routing Mailbox (16 maximum) is a mailbox associated with an individual Answer Table schedule or
the Default Mailbox. It specifies which dialing options (Dial Action Table) are available to callers. It also
provides the Instruction Menu to callers which typically greets the callers and describes the dialing options.
- By default, Answer Table 1 has a single schedule that runs Monday through Friday from 8:30AM to
5:00PM. This schedule and the Default Mailbox both use Call Routing Mailbox 1.
❥ Dial Action Table (page 104)
Once the Automated Attendant answers, the Dial Action Table (16 maximum) provides the dialing
options to callers. Each digit a caller can dial is assigned a specific action (function) in the Dial Action
Table. The dial action used depends on the setting in the active Call Routing Mailbox, which in turn
depends on the Answer Table setup.
- By default, Call Routing Mailbox 1 uses Dial Action Table 1.
Automatically answers the telephone system’s incoming calls, plays an Instruction Menu
message, and provides dialing options to callers.

Automated Attendant, Built-In
The Built-In Automated Attendant gives the system call answering and routing capabilities when IntraMail
is not installed. The Built-In Automated Attendant can use any of the first eight Call Routing Mailboxes
(001-008) for call handling, and each of these eight Routing Mailboxes can have a 30 second Instruction
Menu message (Attendant Greeting). The Routing Mailboxes must be Call Routing Mailboxes, and all other
Routing Mailbox types are ignored. Additionally, the Built-In Automated Attendant provides two voice mail
ports, allowing it to process two calls simultaneously.
The Built-In Automated Attendant does not provide voice mail.
Just like the full featured IntraMail Automated Attendant, the Built-In Automated Attendant can answer outside
calls on each line according to the time of the day and day of the week that the call is ringing. After
answering, the Built-In Automated Attendant plays an Instruction Menu message (greeting) to the caller and
provides them with dialing options. There are 3 major Automated Attendant components:
Automated Attendant Transfer
An extension user can transfer their outside call to the Automated Attendant so the outside caller can use the
Automated Attendant dialing options. This helps an outside caller, for example, that wants to return to the
Automated Attendant so they can dial another co-worker or use a different Automated Attendant option.
Automatic Routing for Rotrary Dial Callers
If an Automated Attendant caller doesn’t dial any digits, IntraMail will automatically route them to a specified
option (such as the operator or a mailbox). This lets rotary telephone users stay on the line to leave a
message or have their call processed. Without Automatic Routing for Rotary Dial Callers, rotary callers
would not be able to use the Automated Attendant.
Automatic Routing for Rotrary Dial Callers
Bilingual Voice Prompts provides IntraMail voice prompts in one of two active languages (primary and secondary).
These language choices are available to Routing Mailboxes, outside lines, Station Mailboxes, and
Group Mailboxes as follows:
❥ Routing Mailbox
The language an Automated Attendant caller hears is set by the answering Routing Mailbox.
❥ Outside Line
For outside lines not answered by the Automated Attendant, the language the caller hears if routed to
voice mail is set by the line. An outgoing outside call also hears the line’s language setting if it is then
transferred to a co-worker’s mailbox.
❥ Station Mailbox
When you log onto your own mailbox and use its features, you always hear your mailbox language. If
you call a co-worker and leave a message, you will hear the system’s Primary Language.
Provides built-in call answering capability when IntraMail is not installed.
For the full-featured IntraMail Automated Attendant that automatically answers incoming calls,
plays an Instruction Menu message, and provides dialing options to callers, see Automated
Attendant (page 99).
While on an outside call, an extension user can transfer their call to the Automated Attendant
for additional dialing options.
Automatically route Automated Attendant callers that don’t dial any digits to a specified option.
Provides IntraMail voice prompts in one of two active languages.

IntraMail
Features
❥ Group Mailbox and UCD Group Mailbox
Similar to a Station Mailbox, when you log into a Group or UCD Group Mailbox and use its features,
you always hear the language programmed for that mailbox. If a co-worker leaves a message in the
Group Mailbox, they hear the system’s Primary Language.
There are up to six languages stored in the IntraMail CompactFlash card. By default, English mnemonic and
English numeric are active and the other four languages (if any) are inactive. You activate an inactive language
through system programming.
Automated Attendant callers can optionally dial a digit to select the language of their choice.
Call Forward to a Mailbox
A subscriber can easily forward calls to their Subscriber Mailbox. Instead of dialing an extension as the forwarding
destination, the user just presses their V-MAIL key instead. With Call Forward to a Mailbox, the subscriber
is assured that their calls don’t get forgotten when they are busy or unavailable. Unlike with
Extension Hunting to Voice Mail, forwarding lets the subscriber choose when and how they want their unanswered
calls to go to voice mail (rather than have the telephone system reroute their calls automatically).
Call Forwarding a Subscriber’s Direct Inward Line to their Mailbox
The following table describes how IntraMail handles a subscriber’s Direct Inward Line when it is Call Forwarded
to their mailbox. The routing occurs when the caller dials a digit while listening to the recorded or
default mailbox greeting.
An extension user can forward their calls to their mailbox.

Call Routing Mailbox
The Call Routing Mailbox, associated with an Answer Table, specifies which dialing options (Dial Action
Table) and announcements are available to Automated Attendant callers. By default, IntraMail provides 8
Call Routing Mailboxes (1-8). However, you can assign any of the 16 Routing Mailboxes as a Call Routing
Mailbox. The Call Routing Mailbox is an integral part of the Automated Attendant. The Automated Attendant
can automatically answer the telephone system’s incoming calls, play an Instruction Menu message,
and provide dialing options to callers. There are 3 major Automated Attendant components:
❥ Answer Tables (page 96)
The Answer Table (8 maximum) determines how the Automated Attendant answers outside calls on each
line, according to the time of the day and day of the week that the call is ringing. The Answer Table
divides the time of day and day of the week into individual schedules, which in turn assign a Call Routing
Mailbox to each call. When a specific schedule is not in effect, the Answer Table uses its Default
Mailbox to determine routing.
- By default, all lines use Answer Table 1. Answer Table 1 has a single schedule that runs Monday
through Friday from 8:30AM to 5:00PM.
❥ Call Routing Mailbox
A Call Routing Mailbox (16 maximum) is a mailbox associated with an individual Answer Table schedule or
the Default Mailbox. It specifies which dialing options (Dial Action Table) are available to callers. It also
provides the Instruction Menu to callers which typically greets the callers and describes the dialing options.
- By default, Answer Table 1 has a single schedule that runs Monday through Friday from 8:30AM to
5:00PM. This schedule and the Default Mailbox both use Call Routing Mailbox 1.
❥ Dial Action Table (page 104)
Once the Automated Attendant answers, the Dial Action Table (16 maximum) provides the dialing
options to callers. Each digit a caller can dial is assigned a specific action (function) in the Dial Action
Table. The dial action used depends on the setting in the active Call Routing Mailbox, which in turn
depends on the Answer Table setup.
- By default, Call Routing Mailbox 1 uses Dial Action Table 1.
Call Screening
Call Screening allows a display keyset extension user to listen to (screen) a voice mail message as it is being
left in their mailbox. Call Screening emulates a standard home answering machine — in addition to providing
more control when handling incoming messages. Similar to Personal Answering Machine Emulation, the
extension user can listen as the message is being left, intercept the call, or end the screen and have the message
recorded privately. Unlike Personal Answering Machine emulation, Call Screening does not require the
extension user to forward their calls immediately to voice mail. The telephone display automatically shows
the Call Screening soft key options as soon as the recording begins.
When enabled, Call Screening will broadcast the caller’s message as soon as the mailbox Greeting completes.
Additionally, if the extension user intercepts (answers) the screened call, the first portion of the message
is automatically erased from the extension’s mailbox.
Any caller that can leave a message can have their call screened by the extension user.
Call Screening and Group Mailboxes
If extensions share a Group Mailbox, any number of extensions in the group can screen an incoming message.
The group extensions can monitor the incoming message simultaneously. If any group member answers the
call (i.e., intercepts the incoming message), the remaining group members are immediately disconnected.

IntraMail
Features
Automatic Call Screening
With Automatic Call Screening enabled, an extension will immediately screen (broadcast) an incoming message
as soon as the caller starts to leave it in the extension’s mailbox. The extension user hears two beeps followed
by the caller’s voice.
Caller ID and Voice Mail
Caller ID is a telephone company service that provides an extension with a caller’s number and optional
name. With Caller ID, the keyset user knows who’s calling before they pick up the call. Caller ID Logging
stores a record of the call on the user’s telephone which they can review and use to easily return the call.
When used with IntraMail, Caller ID enables the Make Call feature for outside calls. After listening to a
voice message, the subscriber can dial MC to return the call without knowing the callers phone number.
Calling the Automated Attendant
Automated Attendant callers can use various IntraMail features and then return to the Automated Attendant
for additional dialing options. This lets the caller dial other extensions, leave messages for co-workers, or
use other Automated Attendant features. The features below describe several ways to return to the Automated
Attendant.
❥ Automated Attendant Transfer (page 100)
An extension user can transfer their outside call to the Automated Attendant so the outside caller can use
the Automated Attendant dialing options.
❥ Next Call Routing Mailbox (page 123)
The Next Call Routing Mailbox provides callers with additional dialing options after they leave a message
in a mailbox (depending on the setting of the Dialing Option).
Centrex Transfer
Centrex Transfer is a Dial Action Table option that can transfer an Automated Attendant call from a Centrex
line to an outside number using the features of that Centrex line. With Centrex Transfer, the Automated
Attendant answers an outside call and then transfers the caller back to the telco using the same line on which
the call initially rang. To set this up, assign a Dial Action Table action as a UTRF to a System Speed Dial bin
(e.g., #201P). The bin should contain the complete dial string (preceded by a Flash command) required to
initiate the Centrex Transfer. When the Automated Attendant answers, the caller dials the digit and IntraMail
automatically routes them to the outside number.
Centrex Transfer is only available if the telephone system connects to Centrex lines that provide the features
required to complete the transfer. Similar to External Transfer, Centrex Transfer allows your callers to easily
reach branch offices and important off-site associates. Unlike External Transfer, Centrex Transfer requires
unique telco features.

Conversation Record
Conversation Record allows a subscriber to record their active call as a new message in their mailbox, which
they can review later on. Conversation Record can be helpful when an extension user is on a call that

involves a lot of detail (such as a technical discussion or extensive directions). Rather than taking notes as
the call progresses, the user can record the conversation and carefully review it later on. IntraMail broadcasts
a beep and a voice prompt to the callers as Conversation Record begins. After calling their mailbox, the subscriber
can save, edit, or delete the recorded conversation.
Conversation Record Key for a Co-worker’s Mailbox
Your extension or DSS Console can have Conversation Record keys for co-worker’s mailboxes. While on a
call, you can press the key to record your conversation directly into a co-worker’s mailbox. You can set up
the key to record into any valid Subscriber Mailbox (including Group Mailboxes programmed as Subscriber
Mailboxes). This could help a dispatcher, for example, that wants to record a conversation with a client right
into the responsible technician’s mailbox.
Your extension can have multiple Conversation Record keys, each associated with a different mailbox.
Dial Action Table
The Dial Action Table defines the dialing options for the Call Routing Mailbox chosen by the active Answer
Table, which in turn provides those dialing options to Automated Attendant callers. IntraMail provides 16
Dial Action Tables. The Dial Action Table is an integral part of the Automated Attendant. The Automated
Attendant can automatically answer the telephone system’s incoming calls, play an Instruction Menu message,
and provide dialing options to callers. There are 3 major Automated Attendant components:

Caution
The use of monitoring, recording, or listening devices to eavesdrop, monitor, retrieve, or record telephone
conversations or other sound activities, whether or not contemporaneous with transmission, may be illegal
in certain circumstances under federal or state laws. Legal advice should be sought prior to implementing
any practice that monitors or records any telephone conversation. Some federal and state laws
require some form of notification to all parties to a telephone conversation, such as using a beep tone or
other notification methods or requiring the consent of all parties to the telephone conversation, prior to
monitoring or recording the telephone conversation. Some of these laws incorporate strict penalties.

IntraMail
Features
Directory Dialing
Directory Dialing allows an Automated Attendant caller to reach an extension by dialing the first few letters
in the extension user’s name. With Directory Dialing, the caller does not have to remember the extension
number of the person they wish to reach — just their name. Here’s how Directory Dialing works:
1. When the Automated Attendant answers, it sends the call to a Directory Dialing Mailbox. (Optionally,
the caller may be asked to dial a digit to access Directory Dialing.)
2. The Directory Dialing Mailbox plays the Directory Dialing Message (recorded by the System Administrator)
which asks the caller to dial letters for the name of the person they wish to reach.
3. The caller dials the letters for the person’s name plus #. They can dial by first name or last name, depending
on how the Directory Dialing Message was recorded and the Directory Dialing Mailbox was set up.
4. IntraMail searches the list of programmed extension names for a match of the caller-entered letters.
5. Voice prompts announce the first three matches, and allow the caller to dial a digit (1-3) to reach one of
the announced matches. Additionally, the caller can dial 4 to hear additional matches (if any).
6. The caller dials the digit for the extension they wish to reach, and IntraMail sends the call to that extension.
The call is sent as a Screened or Unscreened transfer, depending on programming.
For callers to use Directory Dialing, the system must have a name programmed for each extension (up to 18
characters, A-Z, using upper and lower case letters). Each extension should also have a name recorded in
their Subscriber Mailbox. In addition, each extension used by Directory Dialing must be installed and must
have their Subscriber Mailbox active (Personal or Group).
Directory Dialing Mailbox
A Directory Dialing Mailbox is the Routing Mailbox type required to implement Directory Dialing. See
Directory Dialing (page 105) for more on how to set up a Directory Dialing Mailbox.
Erasing All Messages
The System Administrator can delete all messages in a Subscriber Mailbox. Erasing All Messages is an
administrator’s maintenance tool. The administrator may need to use this tool if an employee has left the
company or has an excessive number of messages stored in their mailbox. By deleting the unwanted messages,
the administrator can prevent the IntraMail recording capacity from being reached (which would disable
many of the IntraMail messaging features).
Exiting a Mailbox
A Subscriber Mailbox user can exit their mailbox by dialing a code or by hanging up. After exiting, the subscriber
can use their extension for normal call processing.

106 ◆ IntraMail Features DSX Product Description
Extension Hunting to Voice Mail
Extension Hunting to Voice Mail automatically sends calls to an extension’s mailbox without the user having
to set up Call Forwarding. For example, Extension Hunting to Voice Mail can send unanswered transferred
calls to an extension’s mailbox rather than recalling the transferring party. In addition, Extension Hunting to
Voice Mail can send an unanswered Direct Inward Line to the extension’s mailbox instead of diverting to
Key Ring. Hunting can also reroute calls from the Automated Attendant as well as ringing Intercom calls
(depending on the hunt type). Unlike Call Forwarding, Extension Hunting to Voice Mail requires no action
by the extension user to redirect calls; the system reroutes them automatically.
There are 4 types of Extension Hunting to Voice Mail:
❥ Ring No Answer Line (Type 1)
Type 1 hunting reroutes outside calls to the extension’s mailbox after a preset interval. Type 1 hunting
reroutes outside calls when the extension is idle, busy, or in Do Not Disturb but does not reroute ringing
or voice-announced Intercom calls. See the Routing Charts below for more.
❥ Ring No Answer / Busy Line (Type 2)
Type 2 hunting also reroutes outside calls to the extension user’s mailbox. When the extension is idle,
Type 2 hunting reroutes calls after an interval. Type 2 hunting reroutes outside calls immediately while
the extension is busy or in Do Not Disturb. Like Type 1 hunting, Type 2 hunting does not reroute ringing
or voice-announced Intercom calls. See the Routing Charts below for more.
❥ Ring No Answer / Busy All (Type 3)
Type 3 hunting reroutes outside calls and ringing Intercom calls. If the extension is idle, calls reroute to
the user’s mailbox after an interval. Type 3 hunting reroutes calls immediately when the extension is
busy or in Do Not Disturb. It does not reroute voice-announced Intercom calls.See the Routing Charts
below for more.
❥ Busy Line (Type 4)
Type 4 hunting is similar to Type 2 hunting except that transferred outside calls to an idle extension do
not reroute. Transferred outside calls, Direct Inward Lines, and calls from the Automated Attendant go
immediately to the mailbox when the extension is busy or in Do Not Disturb. This type of hunting never
reroutes ringing or voice-announced Intercom calls. See the Routing Charts below for more.
Notes:
❥ Extension Hunting to Voice Mail does not reroute voice-announced Intercom calls.
❥ Extension Hunting to Voice Mail does not reroute Key Ring calls. See Key Ring (page 51) for more.
External Transfer
External Transfer allows an Automated Attendant caller to automatically route to an outside telephone number.
This requires a Dial Action Table actionassigned as a UTRF to a System Speed Dial bin (e.g., #201 +
Pause for system bin 201). When the Automated Attendant answers, the caller dials the digit and IntraMail
automatically routes them to the outside number contained in the bin. Similar to Centrex Transfer, External
Transfer allows your callers to easily reach branch offices and important off-site associates. Unlike Centrex
Transfer, External Transfer does not require unique telco features.
Automatically sends unanswered calls to an extension’s mailbox.
An Automated Attendant caller can automatically route to an outside telephone number.
DSX Product Description IntraMail Features ◆ 107
IntraMail
Features
Fax Detection
The Automated Attendant can detect incoming fax calls and transfer them to a fax machine. With Fax Detection
enabled, after the Automated Attendant answers a call it listens for incoming fax CNG tone. If it detects
the tone, it does an unscreened transfer of the call to the specified company fax machine. The incoming fax
then prints out on the company fax machine. If you disable Fax Detection, the Automated Attendant will not
detect and route incoming fax calls.
Flexible Answering Schedules
The Automated Attendant can answer outside calls with different announcements and dialing options,
depending on the time of day and day of week. For example, a company can set up separate schedules for
weekdays, evenings, weekends, and specific holidays. Each schedule can play a different announcement to
callers, as well as provide them with unique dialing options. Once set up in programming, the schedule operation
is automatic.
The Flexible Answering Schedules are determined by the set up of the IntraMail Answer Tables. See Answer
Tables (page 96) for more.
Flexible Call Routing
The Automated Attendant can provide outside callers with a wide variety of dialing (routing) options. You
can customize the announcements and routing options to exactly meet the site requirements. Use Flexible
Call Routing to eliminate or minimize the need for an operator or receptionist to handle outside calls.
There are 3 components to Flexible Call Routing.

Forced Unscreened Transfer
A Subscriber Mailbox can optionally convert Automated Attendant Screened Transfers to Unscreened
Transfers. Enable this option for a mailbox if the subscriber prefers to receive all calls sent by the Automated
Attendant as Unscreened Transfers. With Unscreened Transfers,
❥ Calls from the Automated Attendant ring like other transferred calls and display the incoming Caller ID
data (if provided by telco and enabled in programming) as the call is ringing.
❥ As with Screened Transfers, unanswered calls route to the subscriber’s greeting (recorded or default) so
the caller can leave a message. However, with Unscreened Transfer the caller cannot dial 2 to reach the
Next Call Routing Mailbox options (if programmed).
Getting Recorded Help
If a Subscriber Mailbox user dials an incorrect code or forgets what to dial while in their mailbox, they can
request help from the IntraMail voice prompts. Recorded Help provides the user with a built-in, interactive
user’s guide. To get recorded help, the user dials 0.
Go to a Mailbox
An Automated Attendant caller can dial a digit to route to a Call Routing or Announcement Mailbox. This is
called the Go To (GOTO) action. The GOTO action can route directly to a specific Call Routing or
Announcement Mailbox, or allow the Automated Attendant caller to go to a mailbox of their own choosing.
Use the GOTO action to set up a “tree” of Automated Attendant options.
The block diagram below shows how the Automated Attendant can provide the caller with a “tree” of dialing
options. Dialing 1 (GOTO 9) routes to Announcement Mailbox 9, which plays the company directions. Dialing
2 (GOTO 1) routes to Call Routing Mailbox 2, which is set up to give the caller single-digit dialing to
Tech Service technicians.
❥ The Announcement Message for Announcement Mailbox 9 tells the caller how to locate the company.
Automatically converts Automated Attendant Screened Transfers to Unscreened Transfers.

The Dial Action Table for Call Routing Mailbox 2 contains the STRF or UTRF actions to each
technician’s extension.
The GOTO action can also log into a Subscriber Mailbox, although the LOGON action is normally reserved
for this function.
Greeting
A Subscriber Mailbox user can record a personalized greeting for their mailbox. Caller’s to the user’s mailbox
hear the prerecorded personalized greeting rather than a default message. The greeting can announce the
subscriber’s name, provide a personal message (such as “Hello - I am on vacation this week”), or instruct the
caller how to leave a message or use other mailbox options. A greeting that provides mailbox instructions is
very helpful if the mailbox has a Next Call Routing Mailbox set up that provides additional dialing options.
Without the greeting, the caller would not know which digits to dial.
If a greeting has not been recorded, a caller leaving a message in the subscriber mailbox will hear, “At the
tone, you can leave your message for (extension number or name).”
While listening to a mailbox greeting, a caller can dial * to immediately leave a message.
Multiple Greetings
A subscriber can record up to three personalized greetings for their mailbox and make any one of the three
active. Callers to the user’s mailbox hear the active greeting rather than a default message. When a caller
leaves a message in the subscriber’s mailbox, they hear the active greeting. This allows the subscriber, for
example, to record separate greetings for work hours, after work, and during vacation. Instead of rerecording
their greeting when they leave the office, they can just activate the “after work” greeting instead.
Remote Greetings
A Subscriber Mailbox user can call into the Automated Attendant, access their mailbox, and remotely record
their mailbox greeting. Following are two of the ways a user can do this:
❥ After the Automated Attendant answers, dial a digit (typically #) followed by their mailbox number. This
method allows outside callers to log into their Subscriber Mailboxes from outside the company. Once
they log into their mailbox, the user can dial G to record a greeting.
A user can record a Greeting for their mailbox callers to hear.

❥ If an extension has a Direct Inward Line that is forwarded to voice mail, the caller can dial # and log into

record a greeting. This option must be set up in the Next Call Routing Mailbox.
Group Mailbox
Ring Group Mailbox
Group (Shared) Mailbox
A Group Mailbox is a Ring Group Mailbox shared by a group of co-workers. It is normally a Subscriber
Mailbox. If a caller leaves a message at any extension within the group that shares the mailbox, the system
stores the message in the shared Group Mailbox. The Ring/Message lamp at all keyset extensions in the
group flashes to indicate that there is a new voice mail message waiting. Any extension user in the group can
log onto their mailbox to hear and process the shared message. The message count on all keyset displays
increments and decrements as group messages are received, listened to, or deleted.
Any extension sharing a Group Mailbox can record and activate the Greeting and set Automated Attendant
Do Not Disturb. The system automatically uses the most recent Greeting, regardless of which member of the
group recorded it.
Group Mailboxes are helpful in both residential installations and larger business workgroups, since extensions
share a common voice mailbox. Messages in the Group Mailbox can be listened to, forwarded, deleted,
and otherwise processed by any member of the group.
Group Mailbox uses Ring Group programming. You can separately set up Ring Group members to have the
same Ring Group Mailbox. Since the system provides 8 Ring Groups, there are a total of 8 Ring Group
Mailboxes available.
The Ring Group Mailbox can optionally be a Routing Mailbox (see Understanding Mailbox Types below).
Mailbox for a Ring Group
A Ring Group Mailbox can also be the mailbox for a “stand-alone” Ring Group in which the members do
not share the mailbox, but have personal mailboxes instead. The following types of unanswered calls route
to this type of Ring Group Mailbox:
❥ Outside calls transferred to the Ring Group master number.
❥ Automated Attendant transfers (UTRF or STRF) to the Ring Group master number.
❥ Direct Inward Lines to the Ring Group master number (see page 136).
UCD Group Mailbox
If a UCD Group is set to overflow to voice mail, an unanswered call into the group is picked up by the UCD
Group Mailbox. The UCD Group Mailbox can be a Subscriber Mailbox (to allow the caller to leave a message)
or a Routing Mailbox (to provide additional dialing options or an announcement). See Understanding
Mailbox Types below.
Understanding Group Mailbox Types
If the Group Mailbox is a Subscriber Mailbox (1):
❥ The Group Mailbox has all the features of any other personal Subscriber Mailbox.
If the Group Mailbox redirects to a Call Routing Mailbox (2):
❥ A co-worker attempting to leave a message at an extension assigned to the Group Mailbox hears: “Your
call cannot go through. Goodbye.” IntraMail then hangs up.
❥ An outside caller attempting to leave a message at an extension assigned to the Group Mailbox hears the
prerecorded Instruction Menu message and can dial options allowed by the associated Dial Action Table.
Subscribers in the same group can share a mailbox.

❥ An Automated Attendant caller attempting to leave a Quick Message or do a Remote Logon at an extension
assigned to the Group mailbox hears, “That mailbox does not exist.” They then return to the Automated
Attendant.
If the Group Mailbox redirects to an Announcement Mailbox (2):
❥ A co-worker attempting to leave a message at an extension assigned to the Group Mailbox hears: “Your
call cannot go through. Goodbye.” IntraMail then hangs up.
❥ An outside caller attempting to leave a message at an extension assigned to the Group Mailbox hears the

If the Group Mailbox redirects to a Directory Dialing Mailbox (2):
❥ A co-worker attempting to leave a message at an extension assigned to the Group Mailbox hears: “Your
call cannot go through. Goodbye.” IntraMail then hangs up.
❥ An outside caller attempting to leave a message at an extension assigned to the Group Mailbox hears the
Directory Dialing message and can use any of the options programmed for the Directory Dialing Mailbox.
❥ If the Group Mailbox user presses V-MAIL, they are asked to enter their mailbox number. After entering
the number, they hear: “That mailbox does not exist.”
❥ An Automated Attendant caller attempting to leave a Quick Message or do a Remote Logon at an extension
assigned to the Group mailbox hears, “That mailbox does not exist.” They then return to the Automated
Attendant.
- Skip this step for a “stand-alone” Ring Group.
Guest Mailbox
An outside party can have their own Guest Mailbox mailbox for receiving and sending messages. A Guest Mailbox
is a Subscriber Mailbox that does not have an extension associated with it. A Guest Mailbox has many of
the IntraMail features of a Subscriber Mailbox. A company visitor with a Guest Mailbox could, for example:
❥ Go to any extension, press INTERCOM + 700, then dial their mailbox number.
❥ Review their messages, leave messages for associates, or record a new greeting for their mailbox.
❥ Use many other features available to a Subscriber Mailbox.
Voice mail routes calls to the Guest Mailbox in the following three ways:
❥ A Screened Transfer (STRF) or Unscreened Transfer (UTRF) from the Automated Attendant goes
directly to the Guest Mailbox, even though there is no extension installed.
❥ An Intercom call to the uninstalled extension goes directly to the Guest Mailbox.
❥ A transferred call to the uninstalled extension also goes directly to the Guest Mailbox.
Hang Up
Hang Up is an Automated Attendant option that immediately hangs up the outside call. When setting up a
Dial Action Table, you may want to use Hang Up for unused actions (rather than the caller hearing the standard
error message). You might also want to use the Hang Up action as the Timeout destination for callers
that wait too long to dial after the Automated Attendant answers.
An outside party can have their own mailbox for receiving and sending messages.
An Automated Attendant option that immediately hangs up the outside call.

Instruction Menu
The Instruction Menu is the announcement that plays to Automated Attendant callers. Normally, the Instruction
Menu greets callers and provides them with the Automated Attendant dialing options. The Instruction
Menu is associated with the active Call Routing Mailbox. Normally, you should have the System Administrator
customize (rerecord) the Instruction Menu to match the dialing options enabled in the site’s Dial
Action Table. If a custom Instruction Menu is not recorded, the Automated Attendant callers hear:
“Thank you for calling. If you are calling from a touch tone phone, please dial the extension number you
wish to reach, or dial 0 for assistance. If you are calling from a rotary dial phone, please stay on the line
for assistance.”
Leaving a Message
An extension user or outside caller can leave a voice message in a co-worker’s mailbox if that extension is
busy, unanswered, or in Do Not Disturb. Leaving a voice message is a handy and efficient way to communicate
with co-workers that avoids post-it notes, message pads, and unnecessary email.
Additional Options While Leaving a Message
The following chart shows the additional dialing options a caller may have while listening to the mailbox
greeting prior to leaving a message. What happens depends on the setting of the Next Call Routing and Dialing
Option options.

Log Onto Voice Mail
A subscriber can log onto their mailbox using a method that best suits their needs and location. While at
their own phone, the subscriber just presses a single key to log onto their mailbox. To use their mailbox
while at a co-worker’s phone, the subscriber dials the IntraMail master number, followed by their mailbox
number (which is normally the same as their extension number). If they are away from the office, the subscriber
can still use their mailbox by calling in through the Automated Attendant.
Local (On-site) Logon
An extension user can log onto their mailbox in the following ways:
❥ Press their V-MAIL key to log onto their Subscriber Mailbox.
❥ Dial the IntraMail master number (e.g., 700), followed by their mailbox number. This method is typically
used by Guest Mailbox users, as well as subscribers attempting to log into their Subscriber Mailbox from
a co-worker’s phone.
Remote Log On
A Subscriber Mailbox user can call into the Automated Attendant and log onto their mailbox. Following are
two of the ways a user can do this:
❥ After the Automated Attendant answers, dial a digit (typically #) followed by their mailbox number. This
method allows outside callers to log into their mailboxes from outside the company. Once they log into

to log into their mailbox (instead of leaving a message). This method allows subscribers to dial their
own number and then use the features of their mailbox. This capability must be set up in the user’s Next
Call Routing Mailbox.
Mailbox Name
A caller leaving a message in a Subscriber Mailbox can hear the mailbox’s prerecorded name instead of the
mailbox number. The prerecorded Mailbox Name gives the subscriber’s mailbox that personal touch. Prior
to leaving a message, caller’s will hear the name instead of the default “extension xxx” prompt. The recorded
name can be up to 10 seconds long.
Mailbox Options Menu
The Mailbox Options Menu is a sub-menu of a subscriber’s Main Menu that provides access to the Auto
Time Stamp, Mailbox Security Code Delete, and Message Notification features. The chart below summarizes
these options. Auto Time Stamp helps if the subscriber needs to know the time and date of each message
they receive without taking any extra steps. If mailbox security is not an issue, the subscriber can delete
their security code to simplify logging onto their mailbox.
Mailbox Security Code Delete
The System Administrator can delete the security code for any Subscriber Mailbox. This effectively unlocks
the mailbox. If mailbox security is not necessary, deleting a mailbox’s security code speeds up mailbox logon.
Without a security code, the subscriber just presses their V-MAIL key to immediately log onto their mailbox.
Main Menu
After a Subscriber Mailbox user logs into their mailbox, IntraMail provides them with the Main Menu of
options. The Main Menu provides quick access to the most commonly used mailbox features in a central

Features
Message Delete
A Subscriber Mailbox user can delete any messages left in their mailbox. Message Delete lets the subscriber
do their own mailbox maintenance. They can delete messages they no longer need and save messages that
contain essential information. With Message Delete, the subscriber doesn’t have to rely on the System
Administrator to perform these routine mailbox maintenance functions.
Message Forward
A Subscriber Mailbox user can forward a message in their mailbox to a co-worker. Forwarding is helpful
when a subscriber receives a message with which a co-worker can assist them. Rather than sending a new
message, the subscriber can just forward the message with which they need help. They can also optionally
record a comment before the forwarded message. Typically, the comment would describe the reason for the
message forwarding.
IntraMail saves the message in the subscriber’s mailbox after they forward it. The Message Forward destination
receives the forwarded message as a new message.
Message Length
You can set the maximum length of a message that can be left in a Subscriber Mailbox. When a caller tries to
leave a message that exceeds the limit, they hear, “You have reached the recording limit.” IntraMail sends the
portion of the message that fits within the allowed Message Length and hangs up. The Message Length
option helps you maximize the storage space reserved for messages. If you find that callers are leaving
unusually long messages, shorten the Message Length. IntraMail will cut off the message once the caller
reaches the Message Length limit. On the other hand, if you hear that IntraMail is cutting off caller’s messages
prematurely, increase the Message Length to give callers more time.
Message Listen Mode
After logging onto their mailbox, the subscriber can select the category of messages to which they want to
listen. Then can listen to just new messages, just saved messages, or all messages. Message Listen Mode lets
the subscriber customize their mailbox to initially play just the list of messages to which they want to listen.
For example, if a subscriber has many saved messages and just a few new messages, then can log onto their
mailbox and dial 1N to select the new message list. When they press L, they will then cycle through just their
new message.
Initially, a Subscriber Mailbox uses the All Message List. If they select a different message list, IntraMail
reinstates the all Message List the next time they log onto their mailbox.
An extension user can delete any messages left in their mailbox.
A subscriber can forward a message in their mailbox to a co-worker.
Through system programming, set the maximum length of a message that can be left in a
user’s voice mailbox.
When a user calls their mailbox, they can dial a code to listen to all their messages, their new
messages, or their saved messages.
120 ◆ IntraMail Features DSX Product Description
Message Notification
Once activated by the Subscriber Mailbox user, Message Notification dials a telephone number to let the
user know when there are new messages in their mailbox. When Message Notification is on, a subscriber
who is out of the office does not have keep calling their mailbox remotely to find out if they have new messages.
IntraMail will let them know automatically. Notification can call extensions, local numbers, long distance
numbers and digital pagers. When a Subscriber Mailbox user sets up Message Notification, they
choose from the following options:
❥ If Message Notification is enabled or disabled.
(Message Notification can only occur if it is enabled.)
❥ The time of day Message Notification should begin and end.
(Callouts will only occur between the begin and end times.)
❥ The type of device to which Message Notification will be calling.
(Message Notification can call a normal telephone number or a digital pager.)
❥ The telephone or pager service phone number.
To protect your mailbox from unauthorized access, be sure to record a security code for your mailbox before
enabling Message Notification.
How Message Notification Works to Normal Telephone Numbers
1. The subscriber activates Message Notification for their mailbox (see Operation below).
2. When the subscriber receives a new message, IntraMail dials the destination that should receive the Message
Notification.
- IntraMail waits up to 30 seconds for ringback, reorder, busy or voice activity from the called number.
If nothing is detected, the callout is considered unanswered.
3. If the recipient answers, IntraMail plays the notification message (“Hello, I have a message for”) and
asks the recipient to dial 1 to log onto their mailbox. The recipient hears the notification message if:
- They say “Hello” after answering the callout, or
- The system receives answer supervision from the telco after the recipient answers the call.
(Note that the recipient can skip the announcement by dialing 1 to log onto their mailbox after
answering the callout – without saying “Hello”.), or
- The notification is to a system extension.
4. Once the recipient logs onto the mailbox, the notification is considered acknowledged and will not reoccur
until the subscriber receives new messages.
5. If the recipient doesn’t answer, the system will retry the callout number. After completing the programmed
number of callout attempts, Message Notification will stop.
6. Once the notification process begins, a new message does not restart the process if it is already in
progress. Once the process ends (e.g., if the message is acknowledged or the maximum number of callout
attempts is reached), the next new message will restart the process.
How Message Notification Works to Digital Pager Numbers
1. The subscriber activates Message Notification for their mailbox (see Operation below).
2. When the subscriber receives a new message, IntraMail immediately dials the pager service.
- IntraMail waits up to 30 seconds for ringback, reorder, busy or voice activity from the called number.
If nothing is detected, the callout is considered unanswered.
3. After the pager service answers, IntraMail sends a dial string which causes the pager display to show the
subscriber’s mailbox number as well as the number of new messages in the mailbox.
- The notification is considered acknowledged if the recipient logs onto the mailbox. Notification
will not reoccur until the subscriber receives new messages.
Dials a telephone number to let the recipient know there are new messages in their mailbox.
DSX Product Description IntraMail Features ◆ 121
IntraMail
Features
- If the pager service doesn’t answer, IntraMail will retry the callout number. Message Notification
may eventually cancel if the callout remains unacknowledged.
Message On Hold
Message On Hold allows the System Administrator to record a message that will play to callers while they
wait on Hold. For example, you can record a message summarizing available services or hours of operation.
This message will play to callers as soon as you put them on Hold, and continually repeat as long as they
remain on Hold. Message On Hold recording is only available from the System Administrator’s Mailbox. IntraMail
provides a single Message On Hold. Any number of callers can simultaneously listen to the Message
On Hold recording.
Message Playback Direction
When you dial L (5) after logging into your mailbox, IntraMail will play messages in either LIFO (last-infirst-
out) or FIFO (first-in-first-out) order. If you prefer to hear new messages first, enable LIFO (last-in-firstout)
listening order. The newest (last-in) messages are at the top of the message list and the oldest messages
are at the bottom of the list. If you wants to be reminded of oldest messages first, enable FIFO (first-in-firstout)
listening order. The oldest (first-in) messages are at the top of the message list and the newest messages
are at the bottom. Check with your system administrator to have this set up.
Message Reply
A Subscriber Mailbox user can reply to a message from a co-worker by dialing RE, without knowing the
caller’s extension or mailbox number. Message Reply saves the subscriber valuable time since they don’t
need to know the sender’s extension number or send a separate message to respond. The subscriber can just
listen to the co-worker’s message, dial a code, and record their answer. The message sender receives the
reply as a new message.
Message Retention
IntraMail will save a Subscriber Mailbox’s new or saved messages for the Message Retention interval and
then delete them. You’ll find Message Retention to be an invaluable tool for managing IntraMail’s voice
message storage space. If subscribers are letting old, unwanted messages build up in their mailboxes, shorten
the Message Retention time. Be sure to let the subscribers know how long IntraMail will retain their messages.
By default, IntraMail retains all messages indefinitely.
IntraMail performs its Message Retention deletions at midnight of the day the message was marked for deletion.
For example, if the mailbox has 1 day Message Retention, any messages left on Wednesday are deleted
at midnight on Thursday.
Message Retention Guard Time
IntraMail has a Message Retention Guard Time that automatically starts when you change the date and time
in the telephone system. Message deletion can occur only after the Message Retention Guard Time expires.
This prevents Message Retention from inadvertently deleting messages when you change the telephone system
time and date. The guard time is fixed at 4 days.
A prerecorded message can play to callers while they wait on Hold
An extension user can listen to their messages in either LIFO (last-in-first-out) or FIFO (first-infirst-
out) order.
An extension user can reply to a message in their mailbox by dialing a simple code, without
knowing the caller’s extension number.
Automatically deletes a mailbox’s messages after a preset time.
122 ◆ IntraMail Features DSX Product Description
Message Storage Limit
Message Storage Limit sets how many messages can be left in a Subscriber Mailbox. Message Storage Limit
is another invaluable tool for managing IntraMail’s voice message storage space. To conserve storage space
and make it available for new messages, decrease the Message Storage Limit. If storage space is not an issue,
increase the Message Storage Limit so subscribers can store additional messages. Be sure to let the subscribers
know how many messages their mailboxes can hold.
Message Waiting Lamp
An extension’s Ring/Message Lamp flashes on the telephone to indicate that the user has new messages
waiting in their mailbox. Once IntraMail is properly installed and programmed, telephone Ring/Message
Lamp operation is automatic. The Ring/Message Lamp will flash fast (red) when there are new messages in
the extension user’s mailbox, providing a visual reminder of new messages. The subscriber does not have to
call their mailbox and listen to the voice prompts to find out when they have new messages.
Multiple Company Greetings
The Automated Attendant can answer each individual line with a unique greeting and unique set of dialing
options. Since there are a total of 8 Answer Tables, this allows up to 8 companies or departments to share a
single IntraMail. Callers to each company hear that company’s greeting (Instruction Menu) and can dial
options that may be only available to that specific company. You set this up as follows:
❥ Assign a unique Answer Table (1-8) to each line that you want to have an individual greeting.
❥ For each Answer Table, assign the Call Routing Mailbox that will handle the call.

Next Call Routing Mailbox
The Next Call Routing Mailbox provides callers with additional dialing options while listening to a Subscriber
Mailbox recorded or default greeting. It also provides additional dialing options to callers routed to
an Announcement Mailbox. Next Call Routing Mailbox lets the caller choose how IntraMail should handle
their call. For example, if an Automated Attendant caller dials a subscriber’s extension and hears the greeting,
Next Call Routing Mailbox (if programmed) allows them to dial other options instead of hanging up.
Subscriber Mailbox Options
The following chart shows the additional dialing options a caller may have while listening to a Subscriber
Mailbox recorded or default greeting. The digits the caller can dial depends on the setting of the Next Call
Routing Mailbox and Dialing Option options. For an explanation of the options a caller can dial while
recording, see Record and Send a Message (page 128).
Provides callers with additional dialing options after they leave a message in an extension’s
mailbox (depending on the setting of the Next Call Routing Mailbox Dial Mode).

Logging Onto a Subscriber Mailbox while Listening to the Greeting
A subscriber who wishes to log onto their mailbox while listening to their greeting must have the option set
in their Next Call Routing Mailbox. To allow this capability, for example:
❥ Program the Next Call Routing Mailbox # digit as LOGON to IXXX.
❥ While listening to their greeting, the subscriber can dial:
# (to route to their Next Call Routing Mailbox), then
# and their mailbox number to log onto their mailbox.
By default, this option is provided in Call Routing Mailbox 1. Additionally, the subscriber should enable a
Security Code for their mailbox to prevent unauthorized logons.

You program (customize) IntraMail by using the DSX telephone programming or the WindowsTM-based
DSX System Administrator PC Program running on a PC or laptop. You can also do limited programming
from the System Administrator’s mailbox. By using the many programmable options available with Intra-
Mail, you should be able to set up the system to accurately meet the customer’s requirements.
❥ To customize IntraMail using the telephone programming, use this manual.
❥ To customize IntraMail using the PC program, see the DSX PC Program User Guide.
Quick Message
Quick Message is a Dial Action Table action that allows Automated Attendant callers to dial a digit (normally *)
followed by a mailbox number to leave a message in a Subscriber Mailbox. Since Quick Message is enabled by
default, it is an efficient way for experienced Automated Attendant callers to leave messages. There is no need to
dial an extension first. To make this option more readily available to all Automated Attendant callers, consider
having the active Instruction Menu describe how to use the Quick Message option.
There are two Quick Message Dial Action Table actions:
❥ Quick Message with Greeting (REC1)
The caller hears the mailbox greeting followed by a beep and can leave message. If the greeting is not
recorded, the caller hears, “At the tone, you can leave your message for extension xxx (or name if
recorded). Start recording at the tone. When you are done, press the # key or hang up.”
❥ Quick Message without Greeting (REC2)
The caller bypasses the mailbox greeting (hearing “Recording” and a beep instead) and can leave a message.
This is typically used with a Next Call Routing Mailbox when the caller is asked to dial a digit
(e.g., 1) to leave a message. Otherwise, the mailbox greeting (if recorded) would be heard again.

Routing Mailbox
Routing Mailboxes are a category of mailboxes normally used to route Automated Attendant calls. A Routing
Mailbox can be an Announcement Mailbox, a Call Routing Mailbox, or a Directory Dialing Mailbox.

Screened Transfer
Screened Transfer is an Automated Attendant option that allows callers to directly dial system extensions.
Screened Transfer (and its related feature Unscreened Transfer) allows the IntraMail Automated Attendant to
transfer outside calls to system extensions without the need for a live receptionist or operator. It is similar to
telephone system screened transfers in which the transferring party controls the transfer. After an Automated
IntraMail programming is available remotely via the System Administrator PC program.

130 ◆ IntraMail Features DSX Product Description
Attendant caller dials an extension, IntraMail calls (screens) the destination extension to see if the transfer
can go through.
❥ If the destination is busy or in DND, the Automated Attendant doesn’t extend the call and immediately
provides the caller with additional options.
❥ If the destination is available, the Automated Attendant rings it. If the destination answers, the call goes
through. If the destination doesn’t answer within a preset interval, the Automated Attendant doesn’t
extend the call and provides the caller with additional options.
Screened vs. Unscreened Transfer
Both Screened and Unscreened Transfer allow Automated Attendant callers to directly dial system extensions.
The following summarizes the differences between these two types of Automated Attendant transfer.
❥ With Unscreened Transfer, calls from the Automated Attendant ring like other transferred calls and display
the incoming Caller ID data (if provided by telco and enabled in programming). Screened Transfers
ring like Intercom calls and do not display Caller ID until the call is answered.
❥ Both Screened and Unscreened Transfers route unanswered calls to the subscriber’s greeting (recorded
or default) so the caller can leave a message. However, only Screened Transfer allows the caller to dial 2
to reach the Next Call Routing Mailbox options (if programmed).
Screened Transfer and Inactive Mailboxes
Screened Transfer to an extension can only occur if the destination extension has an active mailbox. If the
extension’s mailbox is inactive, the Automated Attendant caller hears, “That is an invalid entry,” and then
returns to the Automated Attendant.
The table on the next page shows in detail how Screened Transfer operates.

A mailbox can have a security code to protect it from unauthorized access. A Security Code must be 4 digits
long, using 0-9. If a subscriber wants to keep their mailbox private, they can enter a Security Code. No one

Single Digit Dialing
An Automated Attendant caller can press a single key to route to an extension, route to another destination, or
use an IntraMail feature. Single Digit Dialing simplifies the Automated Attendant since the caller just dials a
single digit to reach an extension or use an option. If you set up Single Digit Dialing, be sure to customize the
active Instruction Menu so it describes which digits the caller should dial to use the available options.
Subscriber Mailbox
A Subscriber Mailbox is the type of mailbox assigned to a telephone system extension. The telephone
assigned to the Subscriber Mailbox is called the subscriber’s extension. When an extension user accesses their
voice mail, they are using their Subscriber Mailbox. It provides the IntraMail voice messaging services. For a
brief overview of the features available at a Subscriber Mailbox, review the Other Related Features below.
Then, go to the individual feature to find out how it operates and any programming required to make it work.
IntraMail automatically assigns a mailbox to each extension in the number plan. In DSX-80/160, the first 16
(300-315) Subscriber Mailboxes are active. In DSX-40, the first eight (300-307) Subscriber Mailboxes are active.
System Administrator
The System Administrator is a Subscriber Mailbox that has unique system administration features such as
recording Instruction Menus and deleting messages in a co-worker’s mailbox. The System Administrator
features are an essential part of IntraMail setup since they allow the recording of the system-wide messages
and provide Subscriber Mailbox maintenance. After logging onto their Subscriber Mailbox, the System
Administrator can use all of the features in the SA menu. The System Administrator Options table below
shows these options.

System Re-initialization
Initializing the telephone system automatically initializes all IntraMail programming. You may want to do
this if the site requirements significantly change and it is easier to start over from default than remove all
your custom programming. Reinitializing returns all programmed options to their default values.
To initialize (erase) Subscriber Mailbox Security Codes and all recordings, use a System Administrator Mailbox.
Time and Date with Voice Mail
Since IntraMail is completely integrated with the telephone system software, the IntraMail time and date is
the same as the phone system time and date. Since time and date is used on telephone displays and with the
Auto Time Stamp and Time and Date Stamp features, be sure to set it accurately. To change the time and date,
use either the system programmable options or the User Programmable features. See Programming below.
The Time and Date is retained if the telephone system power should fail or the system resets.

Time and Date Stamp
While listening to a message, a Subscriber Mailbox user can dial TI to hear the Time and Date the message
was left. This is a handy option while reviewing messages. The subscriber can just dial a code to find out
when the message arrived.
Time and Date Stamp with Caller ID
With caller ID installed, a mailbox user can dial TI while listening to a message from an outside caller to hear
the time the message was sent, as well as the caller’s number. This capability is always available for messages
left by an Intercom caller.
Transfer to a Mailbox
An extension user can transfer their active call to a co-worker’s mailbox. This lets the caller leave a personal
message for the co-worker. Transfer to a Mailbox is one of the big conveniences of IntraMail since the caller
can state their business and not have to call back later. It saves the caller time and cuts down on unnecessary
telephone system call processing. Transfer to a Mailbox is frequently used by attendants and receptionists as
well as other co-workers.
Transfer Message Handling
When the transferring extension leaves a message before hanging up (which could occur if the destination’s
calls are forwarded to voice mail), the system will record two separate messages. One message will be from the
transferring extension; the other from the transferred caller. Each message has the correct Caller ID assigned.
Additionally, if a caller is transferred to an extension and Voice Mail picks up, the caller will hear the entire
greeting for the called extension’s mailbox. The greeting will restart as soon as the system connects the
caller to the Transfer destination’s mailbox.
Transfer to a UCD Group
The Automated Attendant can transfer outside callers to a UCD Group master number. If a customer has a
UCD Group set up for a department (such as Sales or Tech Service), the Automated Attendant can send calls
directly to that department without any operator intervention. It is not necessary to have a company
employee handle the calls. The calls will ring a member of the group or queue (wait in line) if all coworker’s
in the group are busy.
To set up Transfer to a UCD Group, assign a STRF or UTRF action in the active Dial Action Table to route
to the UCD Group master number. Refer to Screened Transfer (page 129) and Unscreened Transfer
(page 135) for more on how these Automated Attendant options handle calls.
Undefined Routing
An Automated Attendant Undefined Routing is a Dial Action Table key assignment for which there is no
routing defined. When an Automated Attendant caller dials a digit and there is no routing assigned, IntraMail
plays, “That is an invalid entry.” IntraMail then repeats the dialing options (Instruction Menu) to the caller.
If a Dial Action Table key assignment has no function, you should normally leave it undefined.
A mailbox user can listen to a message and dial a code to hear the time the message was sent,
as well as the caller’s number.
An extension user can transfer their active call to a co-worker’s mailbox.
The Automated Attendant can transfer outside callers to UCD Group master numbers.

Features
Unscreened Transfer
Unscreened Transfer is an Automated Attendant option that allows callers to directly dial system extensions.
Unscreened Transfer (and its related feature Screened Transfer) allows the IntraMail Automated
Attendant to transfer outside calls to system extensions without the need for a live receptionist or operator.
It is similar to telephone system unscreened transfers in which the transferring party immediately extends
the call. After an Automated Attendant caller dials an extension, IntraMail transfers the call to the destination
and hangs up. Any recalls or additional routing are handled by the telephone system – just as with any
other unscreened transfer.
Screened vs. Unscreened Transfer
Both Screened and Unscreened Transfer allow Automated Attendant callers to directly dial system extensions.
The following summarizes the differences between these two types of Automated Attendant transfer.
❥ With Unscreened Transfer, calls from the Automated Attendant ring like other transferred calls and display
the incoming Caller ID data (if provided by telco and enabled in programming). Screened Transfers
ring like Intercom calls and do not display Caller ID until the call is answered.
❥ Both Screened and Unscreened Transfers route unanswered calls to the subscriber’s greeting (recorded
or default) so the caller can leave a message. However, only Screened Transfer allows the caller to dial 2
to reach the Next Call Routing Mailbox options (if programmed).
Unscreened Transfer and Inactive Mailboxes
An Unscreened Transfer will go through to the destination extension even if the destination doesn’t have an
active mailbox. If the Unscreened Transfer is unanswered at the destination, the call returns to the Automated
Attendant.
The following table shows in detail how Unscreened Transfer operates.
Similar to telephone system unscreened transfers in which the transferring party immediately
extends the call.

Voice Mail Overflow
The telephone system can automatically reroute unanswered outside calls to the IntraMail Automated Attendant.
Voice Mail Overflow ensures that IntraMail will pick up calls that don’t go through. This allows callers
to leave a message rather than having to call back later. Voice Mail can be the overflow destination for the
following types of unanswered calls:
❥ Key Ring Overflow
A line ringing an extension’s line keys can overflow to the IntraMail Automated Attendant.
❥ UCD Group Overflow
A line that rings UCD Hunting group can overflow to the group’s mailbox. See Group Mailbox
(page 110) for more.
❥ Ring Group Overflow
A line transferred by an extension or the Automated Attendant (UTRF or STRF) to a Ring Group can
overflow to the group’s mailbox. See Group Mailbox (page 110) for more.
❥ Direct Inward Line (DIL) Overflow
A line that directly rings an extension or can overflow to that extension’s mailbox if not answered.
