To transfer the call to hold: Press the Hold button or press 

 and enter the Indi-

vidual Hold feature code (336). The call will not ring or send call waiting signals until
the Hold timer expires.

To try another station: Press another 

 button.

To return to the caller: Press the lit Call button, trunk button, or 

 button.

EITHER, enter the Reverse Transfer feature code (4) and then press the DSS/BLF but-
ton of the station where the call is ringing.

OR, press the desired Mini-DSS button, and then press 

 and enter the Reverse

Transfer feature code (4).

To allow one Administrator to monitor multiple nodes, the system provides both system alarms
and network-wide alarms.

The system’s Alarm Reporting feature detects equipment failures. If there is a system failure
that affects service, a major alarm is displayed at all affected phones.

When a minor equipment failure occurs, a minor alarm is generated and appears on the pri-
mary Attendant’s display and, if enabled, at Administrators’ phones. If enabled in the Message
Print programming, the alarm also appears in the error/message report.

Alarms 1–99 indicate problems that can be corrected without calling service personnel. Alarms
100–199 (telephone system) and 200–299 (voice processing system) require attention from ser-
vice personnel. Note that when a Voice Mail alarm is in effect, the telephone system may be
functioning properly, but the voice processing system may be inoperative. 

Each node has two flags which determine whether the node broadcasts or receives network-
wide alarms.

•

The Send Network Alarms flag determines whether a node will broadcast alarms that
occur on that node to the rest of the network. 

•

The Receive Network Alarms flag determines whether the node will receive and dis-
play alarms sent by other nodes in the network. 

To differentiate between network-wide and local alarms, network-wide alarms appear on
Administrator phones preceded by “NET ALARM,” and local system alarms are preceded with
“SYS ALARM.” Network-wide alarms will override system alarms on an Administrator’s
phone display.

On remote nodes, network-wide alarms will indicate the name of the node on which the alarm
occurred. The node name is obtained from the username.
