- Multiple
line assignments, permitting more flexible call coverage. For
example, the equipment controller automatically assigns all
lines to the
first phone connected to the equipment controller, to serve
as a possible
receptionist’s position. In addition, you have the option
of assigning
secondary lines at other phones, to provide Local Call Coverage,
so that
a person can answer calls on a line when the line’s primary
user is absent
or busy. The equipment controller also passes Centrex ringing
patterns
through to each phone (for example, to distinguish between outside
and
inside calls). When a line is assigned to an MLS- or MLC-model
phone,
the lights on the line button let you see the activity on the
line.
- Programmable
buttons on MLS- and MLC-model phones, providing
one-touch access to both Centrex and equipment features). You
can
access a feature simply by pressing the button.
- Easy-to-use
programming procedures, making it easy for you to manage
your system. You can change line assignments, call coverage
arrangements, or programmable buttons, quickly and easily. (The
display
on an MLS-34D or MLS-12D phone provides feedback during
programming.)
- Modular
connections to the equipment controller, making it easy for
you
to reconfigure your system or to add extensions as your system
grows.
- Direct
connections for industry-standard devices—including standard
phones, fax machines, answering machines, modems, and credit
card
scanners.
- Optional
equipment features, including paging over a loudspeaker
paging system or over MLS-model phone speakers, music on hold*,
call
detail recording (also known as Station Message Detail Recording,
or
SMDR), night service operation, speed dialing, line access restrictions,
and many others.
- Power
failure operation with standard phones, allowing you to make
and
answer calls during a power failure while retaining programmed
equipment settings for up to four days. (An optional Uninterruptible
Power Supply, or UPS, is also available to allow full equipment
operation
during a power failure.)
