Avaya 1224 Guia Do Utilizador

This section contains a list of ringing options and time delays that you can adjust

for your needs. It also provides an option to identify the valid extension
numbers in the system to improve call processing.

If you offer callers the option to enter individual extension numbers so that they
can be connected to employees’ telephones directly without being transferred by
the receptionist, these commands can improve the processing of those calls. Call

transfers to extensions can be expedited when the SPIRIT Attendant knows
which extension numbers are valid in your SPIRIT system. For example, if you

indicate that extension numbers range from 10 to 17, once a caller enters two
numbers, the SPIRIT Attendant quickly determines if the extension number is
valid and immediately transfers the call without waiting for further input from
the caller.

If the caller requests the SPIRIT Attendant to transfer a call to an
extension number that is between the valid programed lowest and
highest extension but there is no station set plugged into that station
port, the caller will be placed on hold and the SPIRIT Attendant will
not be able to retrieve the call. To help prevent this from occurring,
careful attention should be given to setting the lowest/highest
extension numbers.

Table 2-3 gives a description of the call processing options, the default setting for

each one, and the possible settings you can use. The last column can be used to
record the current setting. Refer to the programming instructions following the

table to change any of the values listed.
