THE OFFICE EXTENDER
INTRODUCTION
The OFFICE Extender supports ‘telecommuting’ or `teleworking’ applications by extending the facilities of an analogue
extension of a PABX, Centrex, CustomNet or any ACD to any remote location, without the need for dedicated lines.
The OFFICE Extender has three main applications:
1. Allows remote workers (telecommuters) to have full access to the main office PABX for business related calls, while
appearing to callers as if they are in the office. This is referred to as ‘Telecommuting’. ie. commuting by telephone.
2. Allows remote ACD agents (operators) to dial in from ‘home’ telephones and log on to the office PABX Automatic
Call Distributor (ACD) and act as local agents.
3. Allows Assessors at any location to remotely monitor calls. The Assessor is able supervise the way in which operators
are handling calls and then use their assessments to assist in coaching/training programs and quality call management.
Note:
There is a distinction between the ‘worker’ and the ‘agent’. Essentially they are both company employees, however
the ‘worker’ is a staff member that uses a normal PABX extension, and the ‘agent’ is an operator that is required to
log on to a PABX ACD, in order for the ACD to send calls to their extension.
OVERVIEW
The Office Extender is used by telecommuters and operators working from home or at any location remote from the main
business office.
It provides full access from the ‘Small Office/Home Office’ (SOHO) to the company PABX via the Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN).
The Office Extender provides remote access to the PABX features, including call back, call transfer and three way calling,
from any DTMF telephone.
The Office Extender allows the telecommuter to be contacted by an internal call from any PABX extension.
The telecommuter, from any location, can contact anyone within the organisation by making an internal call, and similarly
make external calls via the PABX by dialling the appropriate outside line access code.
Outside callers calling into the company PABX can be transferred to the remote location without being aware that the
telecommuter is not on the company premises.
Because the Office Extender is located at the PABX, all internal calls are free and external calls are billed to the
company’s account. The telecommuter is therefore free to use any ‘home’ telephone line, at any time, for telecommuting
purposes. This obviates the need for expensive ‘dedicated’ lines which otherwise tie the telecommuter to a particular
location.
On a larger scale, the Office Extender is ideal for extending the facilities of a PABX ACD where analogue agents
(operators) can remotely log on and operate in the same way as a local analogue agent.

DESCRIPTION
The Office Extender supports telecommuting applications by extending the facilities of an analogue extension of a PABX,
Centrex or ACD to any remote location, without the need for dedicated lines.
The Office Extender interfaces a PABX or ACD analogue extension to either another PABX extension (with a directory
number assigned to it) or to a direct PSTN exchange line.
Access to the system is achieved by dialling the directory number assigned to the Office Extender, and following the voice
guide instructions provided by the Office Extender.
There are six different modes of operation:
1. Dial Mode: The agent dials in to the Office Extender and after the ‘log on’ procedure the agent hangs up. A call is then
made to the agent for each call assigned by the ACD, and the agent’s phone rings as normal. This mode is designed for
infrequent call traffic, where a per call connection is made. The agent does not have to be ‘tied’ to the phone for the whole
session, and can perform other tasks while waiting for the phone to ring. This mode may also be used when the agent is
subject to time charged calls.
2. Hold Mode: The agent dials in to the Office Extender and after the ‘Log on’ procedure remains connected for the
duration of the ACD session. The agent’s telephone ‘bell’ does not ‘ring’ as such. The Office Extender sends simulated
distinctive ring sound to the agent’s ear piece or speaker phone and the agent presses * * to answer. This is designed for
applications with high or frequent call traffic, resulting in minimum call charges. If the agent accidentally hangs up or the
connection is unintentionally released, the Office Extender automatically re-establishes the link by dialling up the agent’s
telephone number when the next call is presented by the ACD.
3. Call Back Hold Mode: This mode is essentially the same as the Hold mode described above but provides additional
security. The agent dials in to the Office Extender and is requested to enter their Operator number and PIN. If valid, the
Office Extender calls the agent back and requests that the PIN be re-entered before the agent is allowed to log on to the
ACD.
4. Telecommuting Mode without ‘Log on/off’ prompts: This mode is similar to the Hold mode described above but has
a broader application. It is designed more for the remote ‘worker’ (telecommuter) rather than the remote ‘agent’ (operator).
The telecommuter dials in to the Office Extender and is simply requested to enter their Operator number and PIN number.
If valid, the telecommuter is requested to standby for calls. The line may either be held open, or the tele-commuter may
hang up. Either way, they will receive calls whenever the PABX extension is called. Please note that with this mode, the
telecommuter is not requested to log on or off the ACD, even though this would still be possible if the Office Extender
was connected to an ACD extension.
5. ACD Agent Mode without ‘Log on/off’ prompts: This mode is the same as the Telecommuting mode described above
with only one exception. After the agent enters the Operator number and PIN number, the agent is automatically connected
to PABX/ACD dial tone. When dial tone is heard, the agent enters a valid code to log on to the ACD. The agent then
presses # # and can now hold the line open, or hang up. Again, either way, the agent will receive calls whenever the ACD
extension is called, either by way of simulated ring tone or on a dial up basis.
6. Dial Mode without ‘Log on/off’ prompts: This mode of operation is similar to the Mode 1 described on the previous
page. The tele-worker dials in to the Office Extender but is not requested to dial 1 or 0 to log on or off. This mode is
designed for infrequent call traffic, or when the tele-worker is subject to time charged calls.

SYSTEM FEATURES
PIN Access Security
Unauthorised access to the Office Extender and PABX/ACD is prevented by Personal Identification Numbers (PINs)
which are fully programmable by the system administrator.
Hybrid Voice Amplifier
The Extender has programmable insertion gain/attenuation, so that the volume of speech can be adjusted to suit both the
operator and the calling party.
Distinctive Ringing
When a call is switched from the PABX/ACD to the Office Extender, distinctive ringing sound (in synchronisation with
incoming ring voltage) is sent to the telecommuter by the Office Extender, indicating the presence and type of a call.
DTMF Control Codes
The telecommuter can control the Office Extender to go ‘on hook’ and ‘off hook’ as required, using standard DTMF
codes, or more easily by using the ‘Home Interface Module’.
Hook Flash
The telecommuter can signal the Office Extender to generate a hook flash (timed loop break) to access features of the
PABX such as hold, recall, and three way calling.
Call Progress Detection
The Office Extender monitors call progress by detecting speech, silence, busy tone, dial tone, congestion tone, line
reversal and loop current loss for the purpose of releasing the line when required.
Multi-User
The Office Extender stores up to eight different operator numbers and corresponding PIN and telephone numbers. This
allows the one unit to be shared by a number of remote agents logging on for their respective shifts.
Remote Programming
The Office Extender is fully remotely programmable, from any DTMF telephone. Access to this feature is protected by a
Master PIN.
Call Statistics
The Office Extender tallies up the total number of calls received, as well as the number of operator answered calls
Hold Tone
A single ‘pip’ is sent to the telecommuter every sixty seconds, when in holding pattern, to indicate that they are still
connected to the Office Extender.
Standard Two Wire Ring In/Loop Out
The Office Extender has a Ringer Equivalent Number (REN) of 1 and appears as a normal two wire analogue telephone to
both the PABX/ACD and the telephone exchange.
AUSTEL (and ACA) Permit
The Office Extender has AUSTEL approval (Permit Number A94/05/0234) in reference to the relevant technical and
safety standards. Design Two Thousand’s ACA supplier’s code is N 468.

USER OPERATION
These descriptions refer to user operation without the Home Interface Module (HIM). The HIM further simplifies
operating procedures (See Operator Guide for HIM G/96084).
1. Dial Mode
The home agent logs on by dialling line 2 of the Extender, and waits for the voice prompt to enter Operator number and
PIN. The agent then enters their number and PIN. If the PIN is invalid, the agent hears “Error, invalid PIN, please re-
enter...” If the third attempt is still invalid, the call is disconnected. When a valid PIN is entered, the agent hears “You are
currently logged off, please press 1 if you wish to log on”. If 1 is pressed, the agent hears “Please enter your ACD Log On
code” followed by dial tone. The remote agent can then log in to the ACD just as a local agent would. The agent then
presses # # and hears “You are now logged on, thank you, please hang up”. The Extender then calls the agent’s number
each time an incoming call is received. The agent’s telephone rings as normal, and each call is answered in a normal
manner, that is, picking up the handset and pressing * * to answer, and then pressing # # before replacing the handset at
the end of the call.
2. Hold Mode
The remote agent logs on by dialling line 2 of the Extender, and waits for the voice prompt to enter Operator number and
PIN. The agent then enters their number and PIN. If the PIN is invalid, the agent hears “Error, invalid PIN, please re-
enter...” If the third attempt is still invalid, the call is disconnected. When a valid PIN is entered, the agent hears “You are
currently logged off, please press 1 if you wish to log on”. If 1 is pressed, the agent hears “Please enter your ACD Log On
code” followed by dial tone. The remote agent can then log in to the ACD just as a local agent would. The agent then
presses # # and hears “You are now logged on, please standby for a call to be put through, thank you”. The Extender then
sends a distinctive simulated ring sound to the agent each time an incoming call is received. The remote agent presses * *
to answer the call and # # to release that call.
If the agent accidentally hangs up or the connection is unintentionally released, the Office Extender automatically re-
establishes the link by dialling up the agent’s telephone number when the next call is presented by the ACD.
3. Call Back Hold Mode
The remote agent logs on by dialling line 2 of the Extender, and waits for the voice prompt to enter Operator number and
PIN. The agent then enters their number and PIN. If the PIN is invalid, the agent hears “Error, invalid PIN, please re-
enter...” If the third attempt is still invalid, the call is disconnected. When a valid PIN is entered, the agent hears “You are
currently logged off, please press 1 if you wish to log on”. If 1 is pressed, the agent hears “Thank you, please hang up”.
The Extender then calls the remote agent back and requests for the Operator number and PIN to be re-entered. After the
valid PIN is re-entered, the agent hears “Please enter your ACD Log On code” followed by dial tone. The remote agent
can then log in to the ACD just as a local agent would. The agent then presses # # and hears “You are now logged on,
please standby for a call to be put through, thank you”. The Extender then sends a distinctive simulated ring sound to the
agent each time an incoming call is received. The remote agent presses * * to answer the call and # # to release that call.
If the agent accidentally hangs up or the connection is unintentionally released, the Office Extender automatically re-
establishes the link by dialling up the agent’s telephone number when the next call is presented by the ACD.
4. Telecommuting Mode without ‘Log on/off’ prompts
The telecommuter dials line 2 of the Extender, and waits for the voice prompt to enter Operator number and PIN. The
telecommuter then enters their number and PIN. If the PIN is invalid, the telecommuter hears “Error, invalid PIN, please
re-enter...” If the third attempt is still invalid, the call is disconnected. When a valid PIN is entered, the telecommuter hears
confirmation “bips”. The Extender then sends distinctive simulated ring sound to the telecommuter each time an incoming
call is received. The telecommuter presses * * to answer the call and # # to end that call. If the telecommuter hangs up or
the connection is unintentionally released, the Office Extender automatically dials up the telecommuter’s telephone
number when the next call is presented by the PABX. Therefore, there is no need for the telecommuter to ‘log off’ (# * #),
unless they do not wish receive calls or until their shift is over.

5. ACD Agent Mode without ‘Log on/off’ prompts (Default)
The agent dials line 2 of the Extender, and waits for the voice prompt to enter Operator number and PIN. The agent then
enters their operator number and PIN. If the PIN is invalid, the agent hears “Error, invalid PIN, please re-enter...” If the
third attempt is still invalid, the call is disconnected. When a valid PIN is entered, the agent hears PABX/ACD dial tone
and can enter the ACD log on code followed by # #. The agent then hears confirmation “bips”. The Extender then sends
distinctive simulated ring sound to the agent each time an incoming call is received. The remote agent presses * * to
answer the call and # # to end that call. If the agent hangs up or the connection is unintentionally released, the Office
Extender automatically dials up the agent’s telephone number when the next call is presented by the PABX ACD. When
the agent’s shift is over, they press * *, enter the ACD log off code, press # * #, and hang up.
6. Dial Mode without ‘Log on/off’ prompts
The home agent logs on by dialling line 2 of the Extender, and waits for the voice prompt to enter Operator number and
PIN. The agent then enters their number and PIN. If the PIN is invalid, the agent hears “Error, invalid PIN, please re-
enter...” If the third attempt is still invalid, the call is disconnected. When a valid PIN is entered, the agent hears dial tone.
The remote agent can then log in to the ACD just as a local agent would. The agent then presses # # and hears “Thank you,
please hang up”. The Extender then calls the agent’s number each time an incoming call is received. The agent’s telephone
rings as normal, and each call is answered in a normal manner, that is, picking up the handset and pressing * * to answer,
and then pressing # # before replacing the handset at the end of the call. When the agent’s shift is over, they press * *,
enter the ACD log off code, press # * #, and hang up.

TO LOG IN AND LOG OUT OF THE ACD
Refer to the PABX procedures for logging in and out of the ACD.
The Office Extender may be factory programmed to automatically log the caller in and out of the ACD by automatically
dialling the appropriate log in/out commands at the time of Extender log on and log off (clear down). This will simplify the
log in/out procedure.
As standard, remote agents can log OUT of the ACD as follows:
1. Dial Mode
I. Repeat the Extender Log on Procedure as described.
II. When PABX dial tone is heard, dial the appropriate command string to log out of the ACD. This could be
programmed under a memory dial key of the phone.
III. Wait a couple of seconds, press # * # to clear down the Extender, then hang up.
2. Hold Modes and ACD Agent Mode
I. Press # # only if you are on a call and wish to terminate it.
II. Press * * to pick up line 1 and obtain PABX dial tone.
III. Dial the appropriate command string to log out of the ACD.
IV. Wait a couple of seconds, press # * # to clear down the Extender, then hang up.
3. Telecommuting Mode
1. If the line is open to Office Extender:
I. Press # * # to clear down the Extender, then hang up.
2. If your telephone is ‘on hook’:
I. Dial line 2 of the Extender and enter your Operator and PIN number.
II. Press # * # to clear down the Extender, then hang up.

TELECOMMUTING HOME INTERFACE MODULE HI-4690
Description
The Telecommuting Home Interface Module (HIM) is used in conjunction with the Office Extender for Telecommuting
purposes.
Without a HIM, the Telecommuter keeps the connection from the home office to the main office PABX via the Office
Extender by leaving the home phone ‘off-hook’. The Telecommuter signals the Office Extender to go off-hook, on-hook
and hook flash on the PABX extension using DTMF commands.
By using an ‘on-hook’ dialling speaker telephone without a HIM, the Telecommuter can maintain the connection to the
main office PABX but will need to remember the dial commands that signal the Office Extender to answer, hang up and
hook flash, and also remember not to actually hang up between calls if a continuous connection is required.
The Telecommuting Home Interface Module (HIM) solves these issues so that you can use the telephone like normal.
The HIM is situated at the Home Office and is connected in between the Telecommuter’s telephone socket and telephone.
The HIM now does the work of sending answer, hang up and hook flash commands automatically. As a result, the
Telecommuter’s job is made easier, where using an analogue telephone at the home office becomes exactly the same as in
the main office.
When the Telecommuter is logged on for a working session and not on a call, the telephone can be placed on-hook. While
the telephone is on hook, the HIM communicates with the Office Extender to hold the connection to the Home Office.
When a call is presented to the telecommuter by the PABX or ACD, the Office Extender signals the HIM to ring. When
the telephone is picked up, the HIM signals the Office Extender to loop the PABX extension. When the telephone is hung
up, the HIM signals the Office Extender to hang up the PABX extension and keep the connection to the Extender in Hold
Mode, or drop the connection in Dial Mode.
By utilising the HIM at the home office, the Telecommuter does not need to remember any special command codes and
procedures, or to press special buttons to make and receive calls from the PABX.

2. Enter your Operator number and PIN.
3. Obtain dial tone and enter your ACD Log On code (if necessary).
4. Hang up.
To End the Telecommuting Session
1. Lift handset, wait for dial tone and dial your ACD Log Off code (if necessary).
2. Press # * #. Listen for “This telecommuting session is now over, goodbye”. Repeat if necessary.
3. Hang up.

Notes:
•Entry = tone length in milliseconds divided by thirty two unless otherwise noted
•There are eight values for RING TONE, thus allowing two OFF times and two ON times. Where only one OFF and/or
ON time is required, set values for both RING 1 and RING 2 to the same. always set the RING 1 values to the shorter
values when two tone lengths are involved.
