2 INTRODUCTION
This Mini-PBX is designed to provide a low cost professional telephone switching system.
Up to 3 external analogue telephone lines and up to 8 internal extensions can be connected.
2.1 FEATURES
•Operator Attendant Mode –allows an ‘operator’ or one designated extension to
answer all incoming calls
•Auto-Attendant Mode – allows the external caller to dial the desired extension or
operator directly.
•Call transfer – allows the extension to transfer an external call to another extension
•Call Pick Up – allows a non ringing extension to answer a call to another extension.
•Music on hold with internal or external source option
•External CO Line Ring assignment – any extension(s) can be assigned to ring when
there is an external call.
•Flexible numbering of extensions – any extension can be allocated any ‘extension
number’ in the range from 100 to 999.
•Seven levels of call restriction – controls what numbers an extension can dial – i.e.
no International calls without permission
•Call duration control – limits the time a person can be on a call
•Power failure transfer of external CO lines to fixed internal extensions – can still
make and receive calls in case of power outage (limited service)
•Three-way conference – an external caller can speak to two internal extensions at
the same time.
•Intercom communication – call from one extension to another (not using external
telephone network, so no charge)
•Multiple communication paths
•Call forwarding – a user can program their extension to forward an external or
internal call to another telephone extension.
•Door Phone and Door Lock Opener (optional)
•Computer interface for Call Accounting package (optional)
