Direct Inward Station Dialing (DISD)
The direct inward station dialing (DISD) feature allows an external party to call
an intercom station directly without assistance from the attendant (over a line
programmed for DISD). As the system attendant, you may instruct callers to
make DISD calls when necessary.
You may give the caller a DISD line number and the extension number associ
-
ated with the station he or she is trying to reach. Future calls from the caller to a
specific party will not have to be serviced at the attendant’s station, although a
ring-no answer or busy condition at the called party’s station will result in the
system’s handling the call in another manner (described below).
When a caller makes a DISD call from an outside line, he or she will initially
hear ringing. The system will answer the call with a DISD continuous dial tone;
the caller can then dial an extension number.
· If called station is idle, tone is sounded and called station rings.
· If the call is answered by another station user, the caller can ask for
transfer to desired station.
· If ringing stops and dial tone sounds again, the caller can dial another
extension number.
· If called station has call forward feature set, forward station rings.
· If called station is busy, call is placed on hold and camped-on at busy
station. If camp-on is not answered within a transfer recall timeout
period, busy tone is given, followed by a DISD dial tone.
NOTE: The system will return the caller to DISD dial tone two
additional times and then drop the line.
·
If called station is busy but is part of a hunt group, DISD call is routed
to idle station in hunt group, if available; otherwise, the call is camped-on
at dialed station. Hunt group is followed when caller hears ringing but
receives no answer.
·
If an invalid extension number is dialed, an error tone is sounded before
DISD dial tone is returned (caller can redial). If mistake in dialing is
made, caller can dial S for new DISD dial tone.
·
If extension number dialing is not completed within the programmed
dial time limit, call is routed to DISD assist station if available; otherwise,
the line is dropped.
