Transfer
Observers cannot initiate a transfer while observing.
If a user transfers a call, the observer is placed in wait state. The observer is 
bridged onto the call when the transfer is complete.

Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed 
Station Numbering
Single-Digit Dialing and Mixed Station Numbering allows easy guest access to 
internal hotel/motel services and provides the capability to associate room 
numbers with guest-room telephones.
Detailed description 
You must create a dial plan for hotel/motel services and room numbers. Some 
suggestions follow. Refer to 
‘‘Dial Plan Record’’ on page 593
 for more 
information.
Assign a single-digit extension to internal hotel/motel services such as 
room service. Assign single-digit extensions to individual-telephones or to 
a group of telephones (for example, to service the front desk).
Assign a prefixed extension to guest rooms.
A prefixed extension is made up of a prefix and an extension up to five 
digits. The prefix identifies the call type. The switch collects dialed digits, 
removes the prefix digit, and uses the extension for further processing.
Mixed station numbering extensions can have from one to five digits and 
can begin with any digit from 0 to 9.
The first digit, in combination with the number of digits dialed, defines the 
call type. To differentiate between two numbers with the same leading digit 
but different lengths, the system monitors the interval after a digit is dialed 
and before the next digit is dialed. If the interval extends past the 
administered interdigit timeout, the system assumes that dialing is 
complete and calculates the number of digits dialed up to that point.
