Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

Headsets allow users to hold hands-free conversations. A headset is a

combination earphone and microphone worn on the head, useful for
receptionists, salespeople, or others who need to have their hands free

while talking on the phone. Lucent Technologies offers several
compatible headsets.

Specialty Handsets are designed for those individuals who need greater
functionality than that provided by the handsets on system phones and
standard phones. For example, an amplified handset is available for
certain system phones for hard-of-hearing users.

In-Range Out-of-Building (IROB) protectors are required to prevent
electrical surges from damaging your system when phones or other
standard devices (such as a doorphone) are installed in a location other
than the building where the control unit is installed. The system supports
the Lucent Technologies IROB protector, which provides coverage for up
to 3,000 feet (915 meters) for standard devices and 1,000 feet (305
meters) for system phones. (IROBs must be installed by a qualified
technician.)

Off-Premises Range Extender (OPRE) allows you to connect a standard
touch-tone phone beyond 3000 feet (915 meters) in another building on
the same continuous property. It also allows you to use a special circuit
from your local phone company to provide off-premises station capability.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filters allow you to block “noise”
generated by a nearby radio station, as well as most electrical devices.

Caller ID devices, such as a PC with Caller ID software, support
applications for storing or processing Caller ID information. Although the
system provides functionally integrated, multi-line Caller ID on system
display phones, you can connect other devices provided you subscribe
to the service from your local phone company and connect the device
directly to the Caller ID line. To install other devices, refer to “Connecting
Caller ID Devices” in the PARTNER 

Installation  guide for details.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions packaged with the device. To order
auxiliary equipment, refer to “Product Ordering Information” in Appendix B.

Two System Programming procedures can be used to adjust the system

settings for auxiliary equipment installed at an extension, if a device has trouble
answering calls or dialing out. If a device (such as an answering machine) does
not pick up transferred or intercom calls, you can use Distinctive Ring (#308) to

change the ringing, so that all calls ring like outside calls at that extension. If an
autodialing device (such as a modem) has trouble autodialing, use Intercom

Dial Tone (#309) to change the intercom dial tone for the extension to Machine

(outside line) dial tone.
