1. GENERAL
1. 01 Th is secti on co n tains information for the
832- and 2832-type telephone sets. The 832-
(rotary) and
2832- (TOUCH-TONE® service) type
telephone sets
are special plug-ended, 10-, 11-, or
13-button key telephone sets initially designed for
use with the
7A Communication System (COM
KEY* 718). These sets also may be used with
the
21A Communication System (COM KEY* 2152).
For information
on COM KEY Systems, refer to
appropriate section in Division
518.
1.02 This section is reissued to:
• Add information on automatic and manual
DO-NOT-DISTURB feature
• Add D-180990 Kit of Parts, for 4-wire service
• Add D-180883 Kit of Parts, for Electromagnetic

2. IDENTIFICATION
2.
01 The 832BM (Fig. 1), 2832BM, 832CM, and
2832CM (Fig. 2) are modular type telephone
sets and will replace the
832B, 2832B, 832C, and
2832C telephone sets, respectively, which are hereby
rated MD. The 832DM, 2832DM, 832EM, and
2832EM
are also modular sets and are electrically
and functionally equivalent to the 832BM,
2832BM,
832CM, and 2832CM sets, respectively, except that
they have been adapted for wall mounting. The
modular sets will all be equipped with a G15A-50
handset and H4DU-50 handset cord which will plug
into a
616T jack mounted on the left front of the
telephone set base (Fig. 3).
Current production
models of these sets also
are equipped with an
improved line switch and
an improved Automatic
Button Restoral (ABR) feature. Some early
production BM and CM sets were not so equipped.

AT&T Company.
2. 02 The 832A (MD) and 2832A (MD) are 10-button
telephone sets equipped with a 647G5 key
consisting of a Hold button, seven line buttons,
and two intercom buttons. There is an
apparatus
blank to the right of the dial which may be removed
to
mount a 651C key for RING TRANSFER, a
651D key for Privacy Re lease (PRIV RLS) or a
651F key for RECALL.
If required the privacy
circuit board can be field installed.
2. 03 The 832B (MD), 832BM or 832DM and 2832B
(MD), 2832BM, or 2832DM telephone sets are
11-button sets similar to the
832A and 2832A sets,
respectively, except
that the eleventh button, to
the
right and below the key assembly is equipped
in
the factory for RECALL. This key takes the
amber key cap provided. PRIV RLS and RING
TRANSFER features cann
ot be provided in the
832B, BM, DM and 2832B, BM, DM telephone sets.
If required the privacy circuit can be field installed.

(MD), 2832CM, or 2832EM; and 13-button
telephone sets equipped with the 647G5 key and
also a 647S5 key with buttons for RECALL, PRIV
RLS, and RING TRANSFER. The remainder of
the top key space is blocked off by a collar
assembly. These sets
are also equipped and factory
wired with the privacy circuit.
2. 05 The DM and EM (wall type) sets and BM
and CM (desk type) sets are not interchangeable
due to the mechanical changes in the
handset
hanger and the new 6C1-50 housing.
2. 06 An adapter (833A-50) will be furnished with
each
DM and EM telephone set for wall
mounting. The switchhook of these sets has been
designed to hang vertically to the left of the
housing. The sets
are equipped with a hard-wired
mounting cord which can
be coiled up and concealed
in the
adapter or the cord can be extended down
the wall through a notch in the adapter for
termination to appropriate connector-ended cable.

Page 8
(4) •Also included with the 683AE transmitter
(furnished with the HFAI feature) is a
manual DO-NOT-DISTURB switch. Depression
of the switch (Fig.
4) prevents voice signaling,
alerting tone and activation of the microphone.
A distinctive tone is sent to any station
that
is calling another station on dial intercom
when the called station does not want to be
disturbed. The only signal that can be received
by a station or answering position with the
DO-NOT-DISTURB switch activated are tone
ringing and the alerting tone and one way
voice signaling associated with an automatic
signaling intercom.
(k) Automatic and Manual DO-NOT-
DISTURB (DND) Feature, COM
KEY 718 and 2152.
(1) This feature permits a station user to
block any incoming dial intercom and DSS
calls. Use of this feature alerts the calling
party
that the called party does not want to
be disturbed. This is accomplished by returning
an audible tone
(500 Hz, continuous) to the
calling party whenever either the automatic
or manual
DND feature is activated. In COM
KEY 2152 System, a visual signal is also
provided on the DSS console when the manual
DND feature is in use. The COM KEY 2152
System currently provides a manual DND
option but it is only available on station sets
that are equipped with the HFAI option. The
major difference between the automatiic and
manual DND option is
that automatic is
activated only when the station set is off-hook,
while the manual can be activated with the
station on-hook or off-hook.
(2) Refer to (Fig. 17) for telephone set
modification for automatic DND feature.
(3) Refer to Section 518-450-100 for necessary
KTU and KSU connection information with
the
DND feature.
(4) For manual DND feature with these
telephone sets, a
688A key must be ordered
separately and installed as follows:
(a) Attach the key
on the right side of the
telephone set baseplate and under the set
housing.

(b) Modify the telephone set wmng and
terminate the spade-tipped key leads
as shown in the appropriate modificatton
table (Fig.
18).
(c) Refer to Section 518-450-100 for necessary
KTU and KSU connection information
with the DND feature.

3.06 Privacy Circuit/Privacy Release Test.
(a) Busy out a line using another station (Station
X). At the set with the privacy circuit to
be tested (Station Y), go off-hook on same line.
Station Y should
be locked out. Hang up Station
Y.
(b) If Station X has a privacy release key,
depress it. The lamp under the busy line
will indicate
it is on-hold. Station Y should now
be able to pick up the line on hold. Release
the privacy release key, Station X and Y should
now be bridged. Hang up Station Y.
(c) If Station X does not have a privacy release
key, or a privacy circuit, he can allow Station
ISS 5, SECTION 503-701-110
Y in on the line by just placing the line on-hold
by depressing the Hold button (this also releases
the line button). Station Y should now be able
to pickup the line on hold. Now depress the
same button
at Station X, the stations should
be bridged.
Hang up Station Y.
(d) If Station X does not have a privacy release
key but does have a privacy circuit, he
cannot allow Station Y to bridge onto the call
without excluding himself.
(e) With the line still busied out
by Station X
and Station Y not bridged, depress a different
line
on Station Y and go off-hook. While holding
that line button depressed bridge onto the line
that was busied out by Station X. Station Y
should
be locked out of both lines.
3.07 When installing faceplate, insure that the
collar is
in place on the key. Place the tabs
into slots in front of the faceplate opening
in the
housing and lower slowly over
the dial and key
collar until almost in place. Use a KS-21107 type
releaser or equivalent to release
the faceplate catch
and
seat the faceplate.
3.08 The 647G5 key uses key designation tabs
form E-5837, E-6672, and the 647S5, 651-type
keys use key designation tabs form E-6672.
To
install, squeeze sides of the cap and remove from
key.
Insert designation tabs and replace cap with
locking tabs along the horizontal axis of the key.
3.09 For telephone set station number cards, use
