Scenario 1: A Small Office 
5
Incoming Lines. Four lines associated with the office’s Listed Directory 
Number, plus a personal line for the physician and a dedicated line for the 
office manager’s fax machine.
Equipment. The following MLX telephones:
— MLX-20L telephones for the doctor’s office and for the office/system 
manager
NOTE:
The office manager’s telephone is the system programming console.
— MLX-28D telephone for the operator/receptionist console
— MLX-10DP telephones (wall-mounted) and MLX-5D telephones for all 
other staff members and locations
The system also includes Caller ID and the PassageWay Direct 
Connection Solution application so the receptionist can quickly identify the 
caller and access the patient’s record on the PC.
To provide battery backup power to the system in the event of a 
commercial power failure, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is 
installed.
Restrictions on Outgoing Calls. Calling Restrictions and Allowed List 
features. All phones are unrestricted except the following:
— Staff lounge: Toll-restricted
— Waiting room: Toll-restricted with Allowed List for 800 numbers
— Examination rooms: Toll-restricted with marked System Directory 
numbers (available from any phone) to call certain pharmacies
Transferring Calls. Operator/receptionist can transfer calls using the 
Transfer feature with One-Touch Transfer and a Transfer Return Time set 
to 4 (calls return to the operator/receptionist if the staff member does not 
answer the phone by the fourth ring).
Coverage. Only certain extensions receive coverage. During office hours, 
the operator/receptionist handles all calls except those to the fax machine 
and to the physician’s personal line. Occasionally people use Forward or 
Follow Me features when they are working at another extension or Remote 
Call Forwarding when they are out of the office.
— For physician: Coverage after 3 rings by appointments/payments clerk; 
this feature is intended to handle personal line calls. (On all other lines, 
the operator speaks to the caller and then transfers the call to the doctor 
only at certain times of the day; otherwise, the operator takes 
messages.)
— For operator/receptionist when no other staff can be at the operator 
console: Immediate coverage by the office manager, with Coverage 
On/Off button at the console.
