Safety Information

Please observe the basic safety information given in the following.

Auerswald COMfortel 2500 AB - Safety Information - 1

Warning: Inappropriate use or incorrect replacement of the power plug can result in a life-threatening electric shock or can damage or destroy or the device:

  • Therefore, use only a power plug of type no. HW 824 or FW7577/EU/40.
  • Make sure it is inserted firmly and securely into the power socket. Wobbly connectors or cable sockets pose a fire risk.
  • Do not remove the power plug by pulling on the cable. If you would like to disconnect the power supply, pull the power plug itself.
  • If the power plug is damaged, first unscrew the fuse for the power supply before pulling out the power plug.
  • When handling 230 V system voltage and devices attached to mains, be sure to adhere to the applicable regulations.

Warning: Touching defective connection lines can result in a life-threatening electric shock. In addition, any damage to the casing or to the device itself can be life-threatening.

  • Only connect the device connection cable with sockets that are designed for that purpose.
  • Replace damaged connection lines immediately.
  • Always have a professional carry out repairs immediately. Please contact your dealer or the manufacturer directly.
  • Use only original accessories.
  • Do not touch the contact points with pointed, metallic or moist objects.
  • Do not carry the device by the connection cables.
  • Use the cable channels at the bottom of the telephone to carry the load.

Warning: Any liquid that penetrates the casing can result in a life-threatening electric shock or can damage or destroy or the device.

  • Carefully select the location for installing the device and take care when cleaning the casing to ensure that no liquid can penetrate the casing.
  • Never make calls in humid rooms (for example, in the bathroom).

Proper Use

Important: Auerswald products are not designed, manufactured, or intended for use or resale in environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of life-support systems and/or nuclear facilities. Use or sale of our products for these purposes is only allowed with prior written permission by Auerswald for each individual incident.

Important:

Improper use may cause, for example, functional restrictions or interference, the destruction of the device or, in a worst case scenario, personal injury.

If you are still not sure of the intended use of the product after reading the following section, please contact your vendor.

The COMfortel VoIP 2500 AB is a VoIP system telephone. The device is designed to be integrated in a local network (LAN) as a VoIP end device on one of the following Auerswald PBXs:

• COMmander Basic.2 (19")
• COMmander Business (19")
- COMpact 3000
• COMpact 5010 VoIP
• COMpact 5020 VoIP

Important:

To support internal IP telephony, the PBXs COMpact 5010 VoIP, COMpact 5020 VoIP, COMmander Basic.2 or COMmander Business need firmware version 3.0 or higher. The PBX COMpact 3000 needs firmware version 3.6A or higher. When using a COMpact 3000 analog or COMpact 3000 ISDN, VoIP channels must be obtained at the Upgrade Center and enabled by it.

This device is not designed to be connected to a PBX from another manufacturer.

The system telephone is not cordless and is intended for use in closed, dry rooms.

The system telephone is different from “normal telephones” connected to PBXs in that it is especially easy to use, among other things. Most of the functions available on the PBXs such as internal and external calls, call protection and call forwarding can be operated over the

display or by simply pressing previously programmed buttons. In addition, the PBX system telephone supports offered functions for telephone switch boards (for example, the Waiting Field) and various telephone number lists (for example, the telephone book or call list).

The system telephone can be configured either using the menu on the telephone display or via the configuration manager that is accessible via the web server integrated in the telephone. The required PC is connected either directly to an Ethernet port on the telephone (see) or must be in the same network.

The system telephone allows you to make calls by using both the connected receiver and the integrated loud speakers (hands-free calling). Another option is to connect a headset (not included in the package).

The system telephone supports the operation of cable-connected headsets as well as wireless headsets (headsets with a DHSG interface, for example, from GN and Plantronics).

Up to three COMfortel Xtension30 key extension modules (not included in the delivery) can be attached to the system telephone in order to add freely programmable function keys. The modules can be attached on either the left or the right side of the telephone. A completely extended system provides 105 freely programmable function keys.

Note:

Accessories and service parts can be bought at specialised stores or in the Internet shop distriCOM at http://www.districom.de. (Delivery is provided only in Germany and to Austria.)

A Caller, call waiting or call type (for special calls, for example, alarm calls, wake-up calls)

Note:

If the telephone number is entered in the telephone book of your system telephone or in the central telephone book (short-code numbers) on the PBX, as soon as the telephone detects the telephone number, it will show the associated name in the display instead of the telephone number. The prerequisite for displaying the telephone number is that the exchange line subscriber has not suppressed the display of his telephone number or that he has approved transmission of the telephone number.

If the telephone number is not available, "Unknown" is displayed.

If the name of the caller is not in the telephone book, a search for the name can be performed using the online name search function on a server in the Internet (see the PBX manual). If the telephone number is transmitted for an incoming call, the PBX automatically looks for the corresponding entry.

When an entry is found, it is shown on the display of the system telephone.

B External call target/exchange line number called (for external calls), doorbells (for door calls) or InterCom type (for InterCom calls)

Options for Unsuccessful Calls

The following options are available for unsuccessful call:

Initiating Callback on Busy

If you cannot get through to a busy subscriber despite repeated attempts, you can initiate a callback on busy. The PBX supports the service attribute "Automatic callback on busy (CCBS)". This service attribute is required for an external call.

If you have initiated a callback, as soon as the other subscriber has hung up the receiver to end the call, the PBX (for an internal call) or central office (for an external call) calls you. If you then pick up the receiver, the other subscriber is called. If the other subscriber picks up the receiver, the connection for the call is established. This deletes the callback procedure in the PBX/central office.

Initiating Callback on No Response

If the person being called does not pick up the receiver, you can configure callback on no response in order to reach this person without having to call him repeatedly. The function can be used for both internal and external calls. The service attribute "Callback on no response (CCNR)" is supported by the PBX. This service attribute is required for external calls.

If you have initiated a callback, as soon as the other subscriber has hung up the receiver to end the call, the PBX or central office calls you. If you then pick up the receiver, the other subscriber is called. If the other subscriber picks up the receiver, the connection for the call is established. This deletes the callback procedure in the PBX/central office.

Initiating Priority Call for Do-not-disturb

If, for example, a person must absolutely be reached in an emergency despite the do-not-disturb function, the do-not-disturb function can be circumvented by a priority call from an internal telephone.

Boss/Secretary Function

The boss/secretary function protects the boss telephone from direct calls by rerouting them to the secretary. The most important difference from call forwarding is that the boss telephone can still be called from the secretary telephone and the secretary can still transfer important calls to the boss telephone.

Procedure when Calling the Boss Telephone

If the boss/secretary function has been switched on, calls to the boss telephone are made as follows:

- All internal and external calls (also call through) as well as door calls and callbacks initiated by the caller are rerouted to the secretary's telephone in question. The following types of calls are not rerouted to the secretary's telephone even when the boss/secretary function has been switched on:

  • Alarm calls
  • Scheduled calls
  • InterCom calls (if permitted)
  • Wake-up calls
    – Callbacks initiated from the boss telephone
  • Callbacks after a system software update
    – Repeated calls from the boss telephone after an exchange transfer

Important: When the boss/secretary function is switched on, incoming calls are also rerouted to the secretary when the functions do-not-disturb, call restrictor incoming or call forwarding for subscribers are enabled on the boss telephone. On the other hand, a call from the secretary to the boss telephone is rerouted if call forwarding is enabled or signals busy if do-not-disturb is enabled.

  • The rerouted calls are shown on the display of the boss telephone and can be accepted by pressing the secretary key (pick-up).
  • If a rerouted call is picked up on the secretary's telephone, the call can be treated normally. If multiple boss keys have been programmed, the red blinking LED lights up next to the boss key indicating the boss telephone it is assigned to.

Note: On the secretary's telephone, in addition to the boss key, it is also a good idea to configure a speed dialling key for the phone number of the boss telephone in order to keep track of whether it is busy or not.

- It is possible to initiate a query call to the boss telephone or to forward a call to the boss telephone by pressing a boss key on the secretary's telephone.

Note: In order to recognise a call coming from the secretary's telephone, the secretary's telephone number can be entered into the telephone book on the boss telephone and assigned a specific ringer rhythm.

Switching Boss/Secretary Function on Boss Telephone On/Off

Switching this on/off can be done as follows:

• Via the telephone menu

Requirements:

  • Knowledge of the telephone, its menu options and the required PIN, if necessary
    – A secretary key configured on the boss telephone
  • A suitably configured boss key on the secretary telephone

- Press the function key configured as the secretary key.

Configuring and Operating Secretary Key on Boss Telephone

Note:

It is not possible to configure boss keys and secretary keys to exist simultaneously on the same telephone; this means that a telephone cannot be both a boss telephone and a secretary telephone at the same time.

A maximum of one secretary key can be configured on a boss telephone. Multiple secretary telephones must be linked in a group.

Press the key while in the telephone's idle state to switch the boss/secretary function on or off.

During an incoming call, rerouted calls are shown on the display of the boss telephone. Press the secretary key to pick up this call.

In addition, the corresponding LED indicates the status of the function.

LED signalling next to the secretary key:

Green The boss/secretary function is enabled. The secretary telephone is currently not being used for a call. Press the key to switch the boss/secretary function on and off.

Red (blinking) The boss/secretary function is enabled. A call has just been forwarded to the associated secretary. Press the key to initiate a pick-up.

If the boss/secretary function is still enabled for additional telephones, the call is rerouted to one of them.

Off The boss/secretary function is disabled. Press the key to enable the boss/secretary function.

The configuration can be carried out as follows:

• Via the configuration manager

Call Forwarding

Call forwarding allows calls to be forwarded. When this is done, a difference is made between calls to a specific telephone (call forwarding for subscribers), to groups (call forwarding for groups) and to connections (call forwarding for external telephone numbers).

Call Forwarding Variations

Auerswald PBXs support three different kinds of call forwarding:

Call Forwarding for Subscribers

Important: Not available for operation on the PBX COMpact 3000.

When call forwarding (CF) for subscribers is used, internal and external calls to a single telephone can be rerouted to other internal telephones or external connections. In this way, the subscriber in question or his replacement can take these calls on another telephone.

Call forwarding for subscribers makes sure that the subscriber in question or his replacement is always available at his own phone number, even if the subscriber cannot take a call on his own telephone.

Important: Call forwarding for subscribers does not function for incoming group calls on your telephone. If you would like to prevent your telephone from ringing unanswered when calls to the group in which you belong come through, you need to log yourself out of the group or configure call forwarding for groups.

Note: If you would like to configure call forwarding for subscribers on the destination telephone, use the follow me function.

Call Forwarding for Groups

Important: Not available for operation on the PBX COMpact 3000.

When call forwarding for groups is used, internal and external calls to a group can be rerouted to other internal telephones or external connections. In this way, a person that is not a member of this group and therefore cannot log in, can receive these calls.

Call forwarding for groups makes sure that someone is always available on the group telephone number, even if the calls cannot be taken by a member of the group.

To configure call forwarding for groups, refer to the user manual for the PBX.

Call Forwarding for External Numbers

When call forwarding for external numbers is used, calls made to an external phone number (dialled by an external caller) are rerouted to other external connections. In this way, these calls can be taken on another telephone, for example, on a mobile phone if no one can take the call internally.

Call forwarding for external numbers can be configured for the current configuration or for the permanent configuration.

Note: If you would like to also forward internal calls, use call forwarding for subscribers or for groups instead of call forwarding for external numbers. This also allows forwarding to internal telephones.

Kinds of Call Forwarding

As there can be many different reasons for not accepting a call, for example, the subscriber in question is not present or is on another line, three kinds of call forwarding are provided:

CF unconditional

The telephone being called does not ring. The call is forwarded immediately.

CF on busy

The call is forwarded immediately but only if the telephone being called is busy.

CF on no reply

The telephone being called rings for a certain amount of time. If the call is not accepted, it is forwarded.

Note:

A different destination can be configured for each of the three kinds of call forwarding.

If "CF on busy" and "CF on no reply" are enabled at the same time, both kinds apply. Depending on which case occurs – the telephone is busy or nobody answers it – the call is forwarded to their respective telephone numbers.

If "CF unconditional" is enabled in addition to the "CF on busy" and/or "CF on no reply," all of the calls are forwarded immediately. In this case, the other kinds of call forwarding are overridden, but remain enabled. As soon as "CF unconditional" is disabled, the other kinds that are still enabled are again applicable.

Switching Call Forwarding for Subscribers On/Off

Switching this on/off can be done as follows:

• Via the telephone menu

Requirements:

  • Knowledge of the telephone, its menu options and the required PIN, if necessary
    – Authorisation in the PBX for Controlling of the PBX via telephone
  • For external destination numbers: Authorization assigned in the PBX for Configuring CF (sub) to ext. number

To enable or disable call forwarding for subscribers, press the function key configured for call forwarding (subscribers).

Or, proceed as described in the following.

  1. Press the menu key and open the menu functions > Call fwd.:scr.
  2. Select the desired option:

deactivate all: Disables all currently enabled call forwarding for subscribers.

(No other action is required.)

unconditional: Switches call forwarding unconditional for subscribers on or off.

on busy: Switches call forwarding on busy for subscribers on or off.

on no reply: Switches call forwarding on no reply for subscribers on or off.

The ♦con indicates the current setting.

3. Select the desired option:

switch on: Enables call forwarding for subscribers.

switch off: Disables call forwarding for subscribers. (No other action is required.)

Note: If you press the Telephone book key before entering the destination number, you can select the desired phone number from the telephone book.

4. Enter the destination number. The following entries are possible:

Up to 24 digits

Digits and the characters * and #

Important: Enter telephone numbers exactly as when dialling, for example, external telephone numbers always with a leading exchange line access number. (exception: direct exchange access). The default exchange line access number on the PBX is "0" in the factory settings; however, this can be changed for several PBXs (see the PBX manual).

5. Press the softkey to save the entry.

Exchange Line Transfer

A suitably authorised telephone, for example, the telephone exchange, can transfer the exchange line access required for an outgoing call to another internal telephone for a short period of time. This is meaningful, for example, when this telephone is located in a publicly accessible room and is only occasionally used for external calls by an employee.

Exchange Line Transfer Sequence

The exchange line transfer proceeds as follows:

- The requesting telephone must initiate an internal call with the telephone authorised to make the exchange in order to request exchange line access.

Important:

For an exchange line transfer, the telephone making the transfer needs the authority level itself to transfer external calls externally.

The requesting telephone needs at least the official exchange line authority level for incoming external calls.

  • After the function key assigned to exchange line transfer has been pressed on the telephone authorised for making exchanges, a confirmation tone is issued to both internal subscribers and the internal call must be ended.
  • The requesting telephone now has access to the exchange line settings configured for this purpose on the PBX. These exchange line settings remain until the first successful, outgoing external call or until the time limitation has elapsed for initiating the external call.

Note: Configuring the exchange line transfer function is done in the PBX.

Configuring and Operating Function Key for Exchange Line Transfer

Press the key during an internal call to transfer the exchange line access to your communication partner for a single external call. Afterwards, a confirmation tone is issued on both internal telephones and the internal call must be ended.

Your telephone registers at the PBX using the MSN of the replacement telephone. You are available via the MSN of the replacement telephone where free seating has been configured. You can operate your telephone using the free seating configuration of the inserted USB memory stick.

Group Functions

In addition to internal subscribers, the PBX can also manage groups. The internal subscribers can become members of any and all groups. These groups can be used, for example, to collect the internal subscribers in certain departments or teams (Support, Marketing, Sales) together.

Membership in a group does not necessarily mean that a subscriber receives calls sent to the group. A subscriber that is logged out takes on no group functions. This can be especially important for employees of a support department, who should not be available to customers around the clock, but rather rotate in and out of the hotline.

Detailed Information about Group Functions

Important: Not available for operation on the PBX COMpact 3000.

Note:

If a group (subgroup) has been configured in the PBX as member of a group (main group) and a subscriber is at the same time member of these two groups, he will only be considered as a member of the main group when a call comes in.

Subgroups (i.e. groups that have been configured as members of other groups) are "permanently logged in as incoming" and "permanently logged out as outgoing" in the corresponding main group.

There are three different ways to logon:

Only incoming

When logging into a group as "incoming", the subscriber then finds himself in the call distribution of the group in question for internal, exchange line and door calls.

Only outgoing

When logging into a group as "outgoing", the subscriber acquires a number of characteristics/access rights from the group. These replace his own characteristics/access rights as an individual subscriber for outgoing work-related calls. A subscriber can only be logged on in a single group as "outgoing" even if he is a member of more than one group.

Note: If a subscriber logs into different groups as "outgoing" one after the other, he will only remain logged in as "outgoing" in the group that he logged into last.

Incoming and outgoing

When logging into a group as "incoming and outgoing", the subscriber then finds himself in the call distribution of the group in question for internal, exchange line and door calls and also acquires a number of additional characteristics/access rights from the group. These replace his own characteristics/permissions as an individual subscriber for outgoing work-related calls.

Note: If a subscriber logs into more than one group as "incoming and outgoing", he will only remain logged in as "incoming and outgoing" in the group that he logged into last. And in all other groups, he is then only "logged in as incoming".

Logging the Telephone In/Out

The log in/out can be carried out as follows:

• Via the telephone menu

Requirements:

  • Knowledge of the telephone, its menu options and the required PIN, if necessary
  • The telephone is a member of a group configured in the PBX

Hotel Function

The hotel function allows you to conveniently manage room and call data when the PBX is used in a hotel.

Function Areas of the Hotel Function

The range of features in the hotel function can be divided into the following three areas:

Hotel reception telephones

Via the display and the LEDs on the function keys, the hotel reception telephone supports various control and query functions thereby making the need of a PC at the reception unnecessary. A function key is configured on the reception telephone for each room. In addition to check-in and check-out, other functions are available.

Before check-in, the status of the room can be checked (cleaned, unclean, blocked) and changed.

As soon as check-in is complete, the following configuration and query functions can be used.

  • Call charge queries including check-in date
  • Interim call charge calculation printout
  • Wake-up time configuration
  • External access block
  • Check-out

Room telephones

The PBX provides a variety of functions that may not be suitable or may even be harmful in relation to room telephone usage. Therefore, telephones configured as room telephones are blocked from not only programming functions (for example, do-not-disturb, call forwarding) but also from switching functions and special types of call initiation. This means that guests can only make and except calls. Furthermore, cleaning personnel have the option of indicating the status of the room by entering a series of numbers (cleaned, unclean, blocked).

The advantages of a system telephone compared to using standard telephones include centrally controlled delete functions when a guest checks out (data protection) as well as various convenience functions, and specially configured function keys when necessary. The functions that are still permitted on room telephones are operated in the exact same way as is

described for normal telephones. With one exception: A function key assigned to the hotel room function enables the guest to set a wake-up time as well as query his call charges and his check-in time.

The following functions are still possible:

  • Making and excepting internal and external calls
  • Deleting data and call charges using the Functions menu command (this does not affect the call charge counter on the PBX)
  • The use of the caller/call/redial list as well as of the telephone book (parts of the telephone book can be blocked in the telephone)
  • Scheduled call/reminders and power dialling
  • Call charge query and wake-up time configuration using a function key

This print function enables a printout of the guest's call charges up to that point as an invoice (or interim invoice) including an itemised list of the individual calls. This function is controlled by the hotel reception telephone.

Note: The recommended printers are listed in the manual for the PBX in question.

Configuring the Hotel Function

Important: Only available for operation on the PBXs COMpact 5020 VoIP, COMmander Basic.2 and COMmander Business.

The hotel function is configured as described in the following.

- Use the configuration manager on the PBX to activate the hotel function.

Important: Activating is done with an activation code that you can acquire from the Auerswald Upgrade Centre. For operation on the PBXs, COMmander Business and COMmander Basic.2, the number of available

hotel telephones (reception and room telephones) must be activated. For operation on the PBX, COMpact 5020 VoIP, the hotel function only needs to be activated once.

- Use the configuration manager on the PBX to select the telephones that are to be used as reception or room telephones.

Note: It is not possible to use the system telephone as a waiting field reception and as a reception telephone at the same time.

  • Use the configuration manager on the PBX to configure the print function.
  • On each hotel reception telephone, assign a hotel room key each for each hotel room telephone to be managed.

Note:

If a check-in or check-out operation is in progress, the hotel reception telephone is not accessible for incoming calls during this period of time. It is recommended to configure call forwarding on busy for cases like this.

Note that the option of entering internal calls into the caller list must be activated if the hotel reception telephone should inform hotel guests of why their calls could not go through.

- Assign a hotel room key on each room telephone for call charge queries and for setting up wake-up times.

Note: In order to avoid misunderstandings when querying call charges, the value configured in the telephone webserver for the cost per call unit must correspond with the value configured in COMset.

Check/Change Room Status on Hotel Reception Telephone

When the guest arrives, you can check the room status and, if necessary, change it before check-in (cleaned, unclean, blocked). If the room is block, check-in is not possible. The other two states are for information only.

The checking/changing procedure can be carried out as follows:

After completing check-out, all of the room data including telephone book, caller, call and redial lists as well as the volume of the ringer is reset. Any scheduled calls configured, the call charge counter and also any call data is deleted.

Note:

The PBX has a call data memory in which call data sets are saved and protected from power outages. If the capacity of the memory has been exceeded and has been overwritten by, for instance, calls made by a long-term guest, a note is made on the invoice that the itemised call list is not complete. The total of the call charges indicated on the invoice is taken from the call charge counter which keeps track of the charge independent of the call data.

If the recording of data associated with a particular type of call is disabled in order to save called data recording space, these calls are missing from the itemised list of individual calls on the telephone invoice. The total of the call charges indicated on the invoice is taken from the call charge counter which keeps track of the charges independent of the call data.

Later, the invoice number is listed in the call data list under the project number. This number is automatically assigned during check-in.

Cancelling a Check-out or Print Job

The cancelling procedure can be carried out as follows:

InterCom Announcement/Handsfree

The InterCom function enables an announcement to one system telephone or to all system telephones of a group from any internal telephone without someone having to actively receive a call (for example, in a doctor's office).

If the InterCom destination is one system telephone, this can be programmed to switch on the microphone in addition to the loudspeaker (handsfree) so that a person nearby can speak with the caller using this intercom system.

InterCom Announcement Procedure

InterCom announcement is carried out as follows:

- Depending on the InterCom destination, one system telephone or all system of a group are called using the InterCom function.

Note: Only the system telephones of the group which are ready for calls (e.g., not busy) are called. The individual group members need not to be logged into the group. They are also called when they are logged out of the group.

  • After a few rings, either one system telephone or all system telephones of the group automatically pick up the call, depending on the InterCom destination.
  • Announcement is executed.

Note: Announcement is limited to 120 seconds due to security reasons in order to prevent possible misuse of this function (for example, eavesdropping from remote rooms).

- After 120 seconds has elapsed, the connection is automatically interrupted. The connection can be maintained if the InterCom destination is one system telephone and the receiver is picked up before 120 seconds has elapsed.

Executing InterCom Announcement

Requirements:

– Existing InterCom authorisation at the InterCom destination/s
- Configured function key for InterCom announcement

Note: InterCom announcement can also be executed from any internal telephone (see the PBX manual).

Depending on the kind of action configured on the key, proceed as described.

Macro

The macro function enables a function key to be defined with digits and various consecutive commands, for example, for accessing an answering machine remotely or programming a function on the PBX.

Macro Execution Procedure

The following describes the procedure based on an example key using the following command sequence HZ300CW2Z#22#Lg:

- Command H: After pressing the macro key, the telephone switches to hands-free calling.

Note: If the H command (hang-up/pick-up with the hook key) is located at the beginning of the macro, the start of macro execution must be confirmed.

  • Command Z300: The telephone dials the phone number 300 (for example, the answering machine).
  • Command C: The telephone waits for the connection.
  • Command W2: After the connection has been established, the telephone waits another 2 seconds.
  • Command Z#22#: The telephone dials the DTMF code #22#.
  • Command Lg: The LED next to the function key switches on (green).

Important: The state of the LED remains the same after a macro is executed – until the next time the command Lo, Lg, Lr or Ly is executed with the same key. If the LED is not to be used for status indication, it is recommended that you add the command Lo (disable LED) to the end of a macro.

If you would like to end macro execution, press the Exit key.

Macro execution is ended immediately when an incoming call is made to a destination that is busy or when a connection returns that it is busy. This occurs, for instance, when the other calling party ends the call or the macro contains a programming code that is not authorised.

Configuring and Operating Function Key for Macro

Press the key while the telephone is in the idle state to execute a macro. If the H command (hang-up/pick-up with the hook key) is located at the beginning of a macro, the macro saved in the system is executed immediately. If this is not the case, you need to first confirm the start of macro execution.

In addition and depending on the settings, when a macro is defined on the first key level, the status of the macro in question is indicated by the corresponding LED.

LED signalling next to the key:

Depending on the purpose of the commands Lo, Lg, Lr and Ly.

Note: If there is a macro on both levels of a function key, LED control is also performed by the macro on the second level. This makes it possible, for instance, to use the macro to switch the LED on the one key level and to use the macro to switch LED off on the other key level. This allows the switching status of a simultaneously switched function to be read on the LED.

  • Using the configuration manager on the PBX, select a system telephone as the waiting field reception. To operate the waiting field with multiple waiting field receptions, a group must be configured and selected as the waiting field reception.

Note:

If multiple system telephones have been configured and enabled as waiting field receptions, multiple employees can operate the waiting field simultaneously. Incoming calls and waiting callers are then signalled in all the waiting field receptions. However, if someone is talking to a caller in one of the waiting field receptions, this caller is not signalled in the other waiting field receptions.

The maximum number of waiting field receptions is limited by the number of possible group members.

- On each waiting field reception telephone, assign one or more external waiting field keys, which can be used to monitor and process exchange line calls. During configuration, each waiting field key is assigned to a bundle. A bundle can be either an S_0 port, multiple bundled S_0 ports, an S_2M port or a VoIP account.

Note:

After selecting the bundle, the keys are assigned dynamically. This offers the option of configuring only one key for an S_0 port and only so many keys for an S_2M port that can be processed at a time. If calls come in over a bundle, they are displayed on the associated available keys. If more multiple calls come in over a bundle than there are keys available, they are not displayed until a key becomes available.

The number of possible waiting field keys depends on the number of existing external lines/B-channels and therefore the maximum possible number of simultaneous callers. Two keys per S_0 port, 30 keys per S_2M port and 1 key for the VoIP access point can be configured, that is, a max. of 38 keys on the COMmander Business and a max. of 34 keys on the COMmander Basic.2.

  • Assign an internal waiting field key to each waiting field reception, with which internal calls (also alarm calls and door calls) are monitored and processed.
  • After configuring a waiting field key on a system telephone, the waiting field reception function on the system telephone in question is automatically enabled and can be switched on and off, if necessary.

Sequence for Call Acceptance in Waiting Field

Call acceptance in the waiting field is carried out as follows:

  • If all of the waiting field receptions have been switched off, the telephones ring according to normal call distribution.
  • After switching on one or more waiting field receptions, the calls in the respective waiting field are signalled on the waiting field keys of the enabled waiting field receptions.

Important:

After switching on the waiting field reception, any call forwarding for subscribers configured for the telephone, parallel calls as well as the do-not-disturb function are switched off. Not until the waiting field reception is switched off (on the telephone) will these functions (for example, call forwarding on an answering machine) become available again. The function in question (except parallel calling) must be switched on again.

For existing calls, incoming exchange line calls are signalled by blinking LEDs and also by an attention tone, if enabled. For multiple active waiting field receptions, a caller placed in the waiting field is also signalled in the other waiting field receptions by the attention tone.

  • The caller can be accepted normally by picking up the receiver or placed in the waiting field by pressing the associated waiting field key. If the automatic call acceptance is set to on busy or according to a time, callers are also automatically placed in the waiting field.
  • A caller who has been placed in the waiting field, hears hold music. If a group is configured as waiting field reception and text before answering is enabled, the caller hears the text before answering announcement first.
  • A caller is kept a max. of 16 minutes without interruption in the waiting field. If the waiting time is not interrupted by a call to the waiting caller or the call is forwarded, the connection is disconnected.
  • You are reminded that the subscriber is still waiting by a short tone once per minute.
  • Press the corresponding waiting field key to initiate a call with a caller in the waiting field.
  • An external caller in the waiting field can be rerouted internally as normal. If the line of the person being called is busy, the external subscriber can be placed in that person's queue. If the person being called does not accept the call, the external caller is put back in the waiting field. This is signalled by an attention tone, if enabled.
  • If there is no one in the waiting field, you can make calls as normal and use the keys on the telephone without limitations.
  • As long as information about a call in the queue is showing on the display (LED lights up in yellow), several of the keys are without function and as soon as you picked up the receiver, you are connected to the call in the queue. You can prevent this by pressing the Exit key. After this, the LED lights up in red and the display is in the idle state. Now you can make a call as normal, for instance, by selecting a phone number from the telephone book.

Switching Waiting Field Reception On/Off

Switching this on/off can be done as follows:

Configuration Variants for Call Acceptance and Announcement Assignment

The following configuration variants are possible for call acceptance and announcement assignment:

Simple Automatic

For each of the six types of calls, anonymous calls, calls for groups, external calls, internal calls, door terminal calls and call deblocker calls, separate call acceptance and announcement assignment can be configured.

Automatic for Experts

In addition to the six types of calls for the simple automatic function, calls for specific group telephone numbers, calls for specific separate external telephone numbers as well as calls for specific door numbers can be differentiated.

For each of these types of calls, multiple entries for call acceptance and announcement assignment can be created. These entries can be activated manually by pressing a key and/or time-dependently.

Special Call Acceptance/Announcement for Telephone Book Contacts

For each contact entered in the telephone book, special settings for call acceptance and announcement can be configured. In order to ensure that these settings are used, the special call acceptance/announcement for all of the telephone book contacts must be activated.

Call Types

The type of call acceptance can be configured depending on the type of call. The two following call types are differentiated by whether they focus on the caller or on the call target.

A Calls from a telephone book contact (caller transmits a telephone number contained in the telephone book)
B Anonymous calls (caller transmits no telephone number)
C Call deblocker calls (when do-not-disturb is switched on, caller transmits a telephone number contained in the call deblocker)
D Calls for group telephone number X (call target is a specific group number)
E Calls for the subscriber's own external telephone number X (call target is a specific external telephone number for the subscriber)
F Calls for groups (call target is any group number)
G External calls (caller is an external subscriber)
H Internal calls (caller is an internal subscriber)
I Door terminal calls for door number X (caller is a specific door terminal)
J Door terminal calls (caller is any door terminal)

The sequence displayed here corresponds to the sequence that is taken into account in the settings. Applicable call types, for which no settings (default) have been configured, are not taken into account for an incoming call. Instead, the next applicable call type is sought out. If a setting has not been made for any of the applicable call types, the default setting

Remote Access

Remote access is used to access and operate the answering machine from another internal telephone or from an external telephone.

Remote Access Variants

The answering machine supports three different remote access variants:

Remote access toll saver off

The answering machine always accepts a call after the call accept time configured.

After the answering machine has accepted the call, you can initiate remote access during the announcement and the following 10 seconds (by pressing the * key + user PIN + # key).

Remote access toll saver on

The answering machine only accepts a call after the call accept time configured if there are new messages present. Otherwise, if no new messages are present, the time it takes to accept a call is 10 seconds (approx. 2 rings) longer than the configured call accept time.

This notifies you before the answering machine accepts the call whether access is necessary or you can hang up.

After the answering machine has accepted the call, you can initiate remote access during the announcement and the following 10 seconds (by pressing the * key + user PIN + # key).

Note:

Note that when remote access toll saver is enabled, the call accept time extended by 10 seconds applies to each caller (at least as long as there are no new messages present). Take this into consideration when configuring the call accept time.

If you have configured settings on your PBX or telephone that cause the telephone to delay making a call (for example, call forwarding on no reply for subscribers), using remote access toll saver is not meaningful.

Remote Access Toll Saver with Quick Access

The answering machine automatically accepts a call when the quick remote access number is transmitted and new messages are present. Otherwise, if no new messages are present, the time it takes to accept a call is 10 seconds (approx. 2 rings) longer than the configured call accept time.

As soon as the answering machine has accepted the call, you can start remote access. Entering the user PIN is not necessary.

Note:

When quick access is enabled, the call accept time varies only if the quick remote access number has been correctly transmitted. For all other callers, the answering machine accepts the call after the configured call accept time (independently of whether new messages are present or not).

If you have configured settings on your PBX or telephone that cause the telephone to delay making a call (for example, call forwarding on no reply for subscribers), using quick access is not meaningful.

Configuring Remote Access

Remote access is configured as described in the following.

  • Switch remote access on.
  • Assign a user PIN.
  • If you would like to save money by not using remote access, you can switch the remote access toll saver on as long as no new messages are present.
  • If you would like to simplify remote access by not entering a user PIN and instead using your telephone number, switch the remote access toll saver with quick access on. In addition, enter one or two quick access telephone numbers.
  • If you would like the answering machine to notify you as soon as new message is present, configure message forwarding and switch it on when required.

Configuring and Managing Voice Mailboxes

This section describes how to configure and operate voice mailboxes. Moreover, it shows you how to record announcements, execute remote access, and forward messages, e.g. to a substitute.

Topics

A voice mailbox which is assigned to the telephone or to a group can be operated like a local answering machine.

It saves the voice messages for an individual subscriber or a group and can be queried any time by the subscriber or the members of the group.

Voice messages and announcements are not stored in the telephone but in the PBX (in contrast to a local answering machine). The size of a voice mailbox is determined by the PBX, as well as the authorization to use it. A voice mailbox can be assigned to an individual subscriber or to a group. Moreover, a subscriber may be granted authorization for several voice mailboxes.

Note:

The voice mailbox will only function if an optionally available COMmander VMF module is inserted into the COMmander Business or COMmander Basic.2 PBX. For the COMpact 5010 VoIP PBX, an optionally available COMpact 2VoIP module has to be inserted, for COMpact 5020 VoIP an optionally available COMpact 2VoIP or 6VoIP module.

The readiness of the local answering machine at the telephone will automatically be switched off if the assigned voice mailbox is used in the PBX. Querying voice messages, as well as replaying and deleting own announcements is still possible. The recording function can still be used.

Opening a Voice Mailbox

Open the voice mailbox to query, replay, or delete messages or move them into an archive. If a subscriber is authorized to query several voice mailboxes, a list of further boxes will be offered for selection in addition to voice mailbox used.

The LED above the message key indicates whether new messages have been received on the voice mailbox.

LED signalling over the message key:

Off No messages available.

LED signalling over the message key:

Ringer Melodies

Determining Different Types of Calls

There are 16 different ringer melodies available to differentiate between types of calls. You can use the configuration manager to add additional WAV files to these ringer melodies.

The ringer melodies can be assigned to different kinds of calls, callers or call targets. You can make the assignments depending on what information you think is the most important.

Configure the settings as follows:

- If you would like to differentiate between the different kinds of calls by using different ringer melodies, configure the corresponding settings via the telephone menu or via the configuration manager. The following kinds of calls are available for this:

  • Alarm calls
  • External calls
  • Internal calls
  • Group calling (a call directed to a group)
  • InterCom calls
  • External callback calls
  • Internal callback calls
  • Scheduled calls
  • Door calls
  • Call deblocker calls (calls enabled despite do-not-disturb)
  • Wake-up calls
  • Other calls

  • If you would like to differentiate between different callers using different ringer melodies, enter the telephone numbers of these people in a local telephone book and assign the contact in question a specific ringer melody (the prerequisite for this function is that the caller transmits his telephone number).

  • If you would like to be notified, using different ringer melodies, which of your external telephone numbers the caller dialled, configure the corresponding settings via the configuration manager.
  • If you would like to be notified, using different ringer melodies, which of your groups is being called by the caller, configure the corresponding settings via the configuration manager.

As external, internal and door terminal calls can be affected by more than one of these four settings, these types of calls are signaled based on a predetermined sequence (priority list). When this is done, the caller is always identified first. If no specific ringer melody has been configured for the caller, the external telephone number or group telephone number dialled by the caller is checked. If no specific ringer melody has been configured for this either, the ringer melody of the kind of call is used.

Priority List for External Calls

  1. The ringer melody defined in the telephone book, in as far as the caller can be identified as a telephone book entry
  2. For the ringer melody configured for the call type call deblocker, in as much as the caller can be identified even when he has do-not-disturb enabled as a part of a call deblocker
  3. For a ringer melody configured for a certain external telephone number, in as much as the telephone number was dialled by the caller
  4. For the ringer melody configured for a certain group telephone number, in as much as the group is called
  5. For the ringer melody configured for a certain call type group calling, in as much as a non-specified group is called
  6. For the ringer melody for the call type external calls

Priority List for Internal Calls

  1. The ringer melody defined in the telephone book, in as far as the caller can be identified as a telephone book entry
  2. For the ringer melody configured for a certain group telephone number, in as much as the group is called
  3. For the ringer melody configured for a certain call type group calling, in as much as a non-specified group is called
  4. For the ringer melody for the call type internal calls

Priority List for Door Terminal Calls

  1. The ringer melody defined in the telephone book, in as far as the door terminal can be identified as a telephone book entry
  2. For the ringer melody for the call type door call

Configuring Ringer Melodies

VLAN

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical network within a physical network. Using a VLAN, you can operate several logical networks within a physical network in order to map company departments logically in the network or to split up network loads, e.g. separating PC data from voice data and introducing prioritization.

The operation of VLANs requires VLAN-capable network components compatible with the IEEE 802.1Q and/or IEEE 802.1P Standard.

VLAN Variants

The following VLAN variants are available:

Telephone VLAN External VLAN

Variant A Disabled Disabled

Variant B Disabled Configured

Variant C Configured Disabled

Variant D Configured Configured

Variant A

Both the telephone VLAN and the external VLAN are disabled. The operation of the telephone continues to work without VLANs, but the VLANs are forwarded from port to port.

Variant B

Only the external VLAN is configured, e. g. for the data of a PC. The VLAN is untagged behind the external port in order to connect VLAN-incapable hardware. Incoming packets from the external port are marked with the tag specified under VID for the external LAN port and with the configured priority. If you want to use VLAN-capable hardware at the external LAN port, disable the external VLAN to make all VLANs available at the external port.

Variant C

Only the telephone VLAN is configured. The voice data is transferred securely in a separate VLAN. Using this variant, it is also possible to enable the forwarding of the telephone VLAN to the external port. This means that further VoIP telephones can be connected to the external port of the telephone (daisy chain).

Variant D

The telephone is completely operated via VLANs. Using this variant, it is also possible to enable the forwarding of the telephone VLAN to the external port. This means that further VoIP telephones can be connected to the external port of the telephone (daisy chain).

Firmware Update

When firmware is updated, errors are corrected and new features are installed. To do this, the device establishes a connection to a server in order to download the most current firmware (the device settings remain intact). Except for the charges for the required server connection, the update is free of charge.

Firmware Update Variants

There are various options for carrying out a firmware update. The variants are differentiated as follows:

Manual Firmware Update

When a manual firmware update is carried out, a file (*.rom) it is uploaded into the configuration manager in the telephone thereby saving the new firmware in the telephone. After a firmware update, the telephone must be restarted.

Instant Firmware Updates via the Update Server

When an instant firmware update is activated via the update server, the firmware update is initiated automatically. After a connection to the update server has been established, the server sends the latest firmware to telephone.

Regular Firmware Updates via the Update Server

When a regular firmware update is initiated via the update server, a regular (for example, yearly) automatic firmware update can be configured. The interval and the time of the update are adjustable.

Initiating Manual Firmware Update

Initiation can be carried out as follows:

• Via the configuration manager

Requirements:

Topics

  • Terminology and Functions (page 574)
  • Abbreviations (page 595)

Terminology and Functions

A B C D E F G H I J L M N O P Q R S T V W

A

Answering Machine List

The telephone answering machine list can save up to 250 messages and call recordings made on the answering machine. The list also includes the date and time of the recording as well as the telephone number of the caller/communication partner. The recordings are numbered consecutively, with the last/latest recording assigned the number 1.

You can call someone who has called you directly from the answering machine list.

The LED above the message key indicates whether entries are present on the answering machine list.

Automatic Call Acceptance

Automatic call acceptance facilitates headset operation at call centers or on hotlines. An incoming call is automatically accepted after a configured amount of time. Call acceptance is signalled by an attention tone.

B

Boss/Secretary Function

The boss/secretary function protects the boss telephone from direct calls by rerouting them to the secretary. The most important difference from call forwarding is that the boss telephone can still be called from the secretary telephone and the secretary can still transfer important calls to the boss telephone.

C

Call Deblocker (Incoming) – VIP Numbers

If you would still like to allow specific people to call you despite enabling the do-not-disturb function, the external telephone numbers (VIP numbers) of these people can be assigned a call deblocker for incoming calls in the PBX. The call deblocker which applies to all subscribers can be enabled on your own telephone as needed. If the call deblocker is enabled, the do-not-disturb function does not apply to callers who use one of the VIP numbers.

Call Forwarding

Call forwarding allows calls to be forwarded. When this is done, a difference is made between calls to a specific telephone (call forwarding for subscribers), to groups (call forwarding for groups) and to connections (call forwarding for external telephone numbers).

Call Recording

The call recording function enables telephone calls to be recorded, for example, for later evaluation. In addition to the automatic recording of all calls, it is also possible to record calls manually. This functions independent of the automatic call recording function. This allows calls to be recorded in pieces.

Call Restrictor (Incoming) – Robinson Numbers

If there are certain persons who you absolutely do not want to call you, their external phone numbers (Robinson numbers) can be assigned to a call restrictor for incoming calls in the PBX. The call restrictor which applies to all subscribers can be enabled on your own telephone as needed. If the call restrictor is enabled, a caller, who transmitted one of the Robinson numbers, is rejected.

Call Waiting

If you are already in a call, the call waiting function notifies you using the call waiting tone when another communication partner is calling.

Callback on Busy

After initiating a callback on busy (CCBS), a subscriber is automatically called back by the PBX or by the central office when a busy subscriber becomes available again.

Callback on No Reply

After initiating a callback on no reply (CCNR), a subscriber is automatically called back by the PBX or by the central office when a subscriber is reachable again.

Caller List

Telephone numbers of calls not accepted are saved in the caller list of the telephone, along with the number of call attempts as well as the date and time of the call (for multiple call attempts, date/time of the last call attempt). A maximum of 30 telephone numbers can be saved. If more than 30 calls from various telephone numbers come in, the oldest entry is overwritten.

A caller be called back directly from the caller list.

The LED above the message key indicates whether entries are present on the caller list.

Calls

The system telephone allows you to make internal and external calls on the PBX. Internal calls are toll-free.

Calls List

The calls made (incoming and outgoing) are saved in the calls list of the telephone along with the telephone number of the communication partner as well as date, time and duration of the call. A maximum of 30 calls can be saved. For more than 30 calls, the oldest entry is overwritten. A previous communication partner can called directly from the calls list.

Codec

A codec is a method that encodes (digitizes) analogue voice data for transmission and again decodes again, meaning converts into back into voice. There are various codecs that feature different voice data compression rates thereby require different band widths for data transmission. The equality of VoIP calls is dependent on the codec used.

Conference Calls

During a conference call, you are talking with two subscribers simultaneously.

Configuration Manager

The configuration manager lets you easily set up the system telephone on your computer. The configuration manager is accessible via the integrated web server in the telephone. The required PC is connected either directly to an Ethernet port on the telephone or must be in the same network.

Configuration Switchover

If multiple configurations have been saved in the PBX, for example, for day, night, etc., switching over from one configuration to another can be carried out manually and/or in a time controlled manner.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

In the case of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), a security hole in web applications can be used to access the data of another user.

D

Data Backup

During a data backup, a backup file is created either automatically or manually. This file contains the configuration and/or other data and settings for the telephone. The areas to be backed up can be configured separately.

DDI

The DDI (Direct Dialing In) is the extension number for dialing directly to a specific subscriber on a telephone system. Example: In the number 0 53 06 / 92 00 - 700, 700 is the extension (DDI) for the Auerswald info-line.

DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a client/server protocol for dynamically allocating IP addresses and network parameters. The IP addresses are requested by the DHCP clients (PCs in the network) on the DHCP server (for example, a router or the Internet service provider). The DHCP server takes these IP addresses from a set address pool and sends them to the client. In addition, the client receives additional information (for example, the addresses for the standard gateway and DNS server).

The IP address is temporarily allocated for a certain amount of time. If the address is no longer required by the client, the server has access to it again and can allocate it to another client.

DiffServ

The Differentiated Services Flag (DiffServ) is evaluated by active network components such as routers or switches in networks in order to forward packets according to their priority. This is necessary, for example, to give voice packets (VoIP) priority and to achieve better voice quality.

Direct Exchange Line Access

If the telephone has been configured as a direct exchange access point on the PBX, you will hear an external dial tone directly after picking up the receiver. You can directly dial the telephone number without the leading 0.

DNS

DNS (Domain Name Service) is needed to translate Internet addresses from a form readable by the user (for example, www.auerswald.de) and to the corresponding IP addresses that the PC can use to request the page on the Internet. This service is provided by DNS servers at the various Internet service providers or by upper domain servers.

Do-not-disturb

The do-not-disturb function offers the option of blocking internal and external calls as well as blocking group calls on a specific telephone. A caller hears only a busy signal. An internal subscriber can reach a telephone with call protection in an emergency using a priority call.

The do-not-disturb function has no influence on outbound calls, callbacks, alarm calls, scheduled calls, wake-up calls or InterCom calls.

Door Functions

A door terminal system connected with the interface FTZ 123 D12-0 (PBX requires extension module) enables the following functions. Calls to the door can be made from any telephone (intercom). During a call to the door, the door can be opened (open door) and a stairwell light controlled by switching a relay (switch on light).

These functions can be executed on the system telephone without initiating a door call.

E

Ethernet

A network system with a speed of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s that was developed by the companies INTEL, DEC and Xerox.

Exchange Line Transfer

A suitably authorised telephone, for example, the telephone exchange, can transfer the exchange line access required for an outgoing call to another internal telephone for a short period of time. This is meaningful, for example, when this telephone is located in a publicly accessible room and is only occasionally used for external calls by an employee.

F

Firmware

Firmware is the operating software on the telephone or PBX that is stored in the device itself. The device cannot function without firmware.

Firmware Update

When firmware is updated, errors are corrected and new features are installed. To do this, the device establishes a connection to a server in order to download the most current firmware (the device settings remain intact). Except for the charges for the required server connection, the update is free of charge.

Follow me

Follow me is a type of "internal call forwarding unconditional for subscribers" that is configured on the respective destination telephone (instead of on the forwarding telephone). This provides the option of going from room to room and taking the calls with you.

Free Seating

The free seating function allows you to register at a foreign COMfortel VoIP 2500 AB using the configuration of your own telephone in order to operate the foreign telephone like your own one. The prerequisite is that both telephones are registered at the same PBX.

G

Gateway

On gateway is a PC or router that is used as an intermediary between two (different) networks. The Internet service provider is the gateway for direct Internet dial up connections. If you use a router, this is the gateway in a local network.

Group Functions

In addition to internal subscribers, the PBX can also manage groups. The internal subscribers can become members of any and all groups. These groups can be used, for example, to collect the internal subscribers in certain departments or teams (Support, Marketing, Sales) together.

Membership in a group does not necessarily mean that a subscriber receives calls sent to the group. A subscriber that is logged out takes on no group functions. This can be especially important for employees of a support department, who should not be available to customers around the clock, but rather rotate in and out of the hotline.

H

Hands-free Calling

During hands-free calling, the loudspeaker and microphone on the device are switched on. This option allows you to talk on the telephone even if you have no hands free. In addition, other people in the room can participate in the call.

Headset Calls

A headset enables you to participate in calls when you have no hands free. This is a very useful feature, especially in certain professional areas (for example, in a call center).

Hotel Function

The hotel function allows you to conveniently manage room and call data when the PBX is used in a hotel.

HTTP Proxy

An HTTP proxy is a proxy for the HTTP protocol, over which Internet sites are called or files downloaded.

|

InterCom Announcement/Handsfree

The InterCom function enables an announcement to one system telephone or to all system telephones of a group from any internal telephone without someone having to actively receive a call (for example, in a doctor's office).

If the InterCom destination is one system telephone, this can be programmed to switch on the microphone in addition to the loudspeaker (handsfree) so that a person nearby can speak with the caller using this intercom system.

IP Address

In order to ensure that the data packets reach the correct recipients, all of the devices in a TCP/IP network require a unique address, known as the IP address. IP addresses comprise four numbers between 0 and 255 that are separated by a point, for example, 192.168.0.14. The network addresses are divided up into different classes (Class A to C) depending on how many computers can be located in a network.

Certain ranges are reserved for the operation of local networks:

– Class A: 10.x.x.x (for networks with up to 16.5 million PCs)
- Class B: 172.16.x.x bis 172.31.x.x (for networks with up to 65534 PCs)
- Class C: 192.168.0.x bis 192.168.255.x (for networks with up to 254 PCs)

These addresses have no validity on the Internet; this means that data packets with this kind of sender or recipient address cannot be transported on the Internet. However, they can be used in local networks without restriction. The advantage of this is that if data from a local network configured in this way comes in contact with the Internet, none of the data on the computers in the local network can leak out or be accessed externally.

J

Jitter Buffer

The jitter buffer buffers RTP packages, to compensate irregular transfer rates of the Internet.

L

LED

An LED is a light emitting diode. This is an electronic device that is similar to a lamp and is used for displays (also multi-coloured).

Loudspeaker Audio Out

This function enables loudspeaker audio out over an audio output on the loudspeaker connected to the PBX unit or an active loudspeaker (for example, a loudspeaker system in a department store/supermarket). In addition, a previously specified telephone number is called by an internal telephone. The call connection is immediately established after dialling the telephone number.

Loudspeaker Listening

During loudspeaker listening, the receiver loudspeaker as well as the loudspeaker in the device are switched on. This allows other people in the room to listen in on the call. The call is continued using the receiver microphone (no hands-free calling).

M

MAC Address

A MAC address (Media Access Control) is a special unique hardware address specified for each individual single network card used in the whole world. This means that the network card unique and can be controlled without any problems and detected by the network The IP addresses on the TCP/IP network are always mapped to the respective MAC address.

Glossary

Terminology and Functions

M

Macro

The macro function enables a function key to be defined with digits and various consecutive commands, for example, for accessing an answering machine remotely or programming a function on the PBX.

Memo

The memo function allows you to enter a telephone number note on the telephone during a call. After the call has been ended, the telephone number can be retrieved and, for instance, accepted into dial preparation.

Message Forwarding

Message forwarding enables the answering machine to notify you of new messages even if you are out and about.

MSN

An ISDN point-to-multipoint connection is reachable under multiple telephone numbers, the MSN (Multiple Subscriber Number) or multiple subscriber numbers. The MSN is the part of the telephone number without a local prefix.

Mute

If you would like to discuss something with another person in the room without your communication partner on the telephone being able to hear, you can temporarily mute the call.

N

NAT

NAT (Network Address Translation) permits the mapping of a specific IP address used within a network to another IP address used by another network. This function is e.g. performed by a router which connects a local area network to the Internet.

Network

A network is a merger of more than one computer and other communication devices. This enables multiple users to access common resources such as files, printers, etc.

NTP

As the time on a computer or on other devices in the network is only rarely precisely adjustable, the NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used. This is a protocol that is used to synchronise the time on a computer or on other devices in the network with other computers or with an external clock via the Internet. An NTP server is selected to perform the time synchronisation. The time provided by the NTP server is synchronised as exactly as possible to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

If a local NTP server is available in a local network, it can be selected, or a public NTP server from a public list on the Internet can be used.

0

Outbound Proxy

The outbound proxy is an intermediate server that processes all requests and connections going to the provider (except registration).

P

Permanent Configuration

For situations where your settings are supposed to apply even after configuration switchovers, you can use the so-called permanent configuration. If permanent configuration is enabled, the configuration-dependent settings will be overridden by the permanent configuration settings.

Permanent configuration is available for the following settings:

- Call forwarding for external number

Phone Lock

The phone lock can be used to block the telephone from unauthorised use. Even after enabling the phone lock, it is possible to receive incoming calls and to make emergency calls (manual dialling of emergency numbers entered in the PBX only).

Pickup

Using Pickup, you can take a call on your own phone that was originally sent to another internal telephone.

If the call has already been taken, the call can be taken using same procedure if the call takeover has been allowed by the subscriber being called. This function is useful, for example, in the case of answering machines.

PIN

A PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a multi-digit secret code that has to be entered to get access to services or authorisations.

PoE

PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a method by which a small devices in a network, for example, VoIP telephones, receive power over an Ethernet cable. This benefit of this is that there are fewer power cables to deal with.

PoE is described in the IEEE 802.3af Standard.

Port

A single PC can simultaneously establish multiple connections and provide multiple services for other PCs. Ports are used to differentiate these connections from parallel connections. Due to a common agreement, PCs usually provide their services on ports 1 to 1023. Outgoing connections are usually established starting at Port 1024. Most services that use the standard port numbers (for example, web browsers use port 80).

Power Dialling

If the telephone being called is busy, but automatic callback on busy is not possible, the power dialling function be activated instead. When this is done, the system telephone attempts to reach the subscriber being called in short time intervals.

Power Save Mode

In power save mode, the display lighting (if available) and the LEDs are inactive (exception: the message LED blinks for missed calls).

After a configurable waiting time and depending on the configuration, power save mode can be activated automatically during the switchover into a PBX configuration and/or manually by pressing a key. Power save mode is deactivated again as soon as an incoming call is signalled or any key is pressed.

Priority Call

When the do-not-disturb function is enabled, a subscriber is no longer reachable by normal callers. A priority call creates an exception and allows the incoming internal call to circumvent the do-not-disturb function.

Project Assignment

The exchange line access with project assignment enables an external call to be assigned to a specific project/customer/client (for example, in a lawyer's office). Based on the evaluation of call data, both the charges as well as the time required can be assigned to a specific project.

Proxy

The proxy is a network component to which specific requests are sent instead of sending them directly to the destination. The proxy either forwards the request to the destination, rejects it, or replies directly if the data is already contained in its own cache.

Q

Query Calls

During a query call, you are talking with one subscriber while your previous communication partner is on hold on the PBX in the background listening to hold music.

A query call is initiated either by calling a query call subscriber, using pick-up during a call, or by accepting a call signalled by call waiting.

R

Readiness

In order for the answering machine to accept calls and record messages, readiness must be enabled.

Redial List

The last 30 telephone numbers dialled are saved in the redial list. For more than 30 telephone numbers dialled, the oldest entry is overwritten. The telephone numbers are saved along with number of dialling operations, date and time of dialling (for multiple dialling operations, the date/time of the last attempt).

Relays

If the PBX is equipped with one or more relays, they can be switched on and off independently of the operating mode configured for each telephone.

Remote Access

Remote access is used to access and operate the answering machine from another internal telephone or from an external telephone.

Room Monitoring

The room monitoring function can be used for monitoring a room acoustically, for instance, for monitoring a small child while she sleeps. The internal telephone in this room must be suitably configured for this purpose.

The configured telephone can then be called by another internal telephone or by a password-protected external telephone. The connection is established immediately and it is possible to listen into the room.

Router

Routers connect two separate networks. This means, for example, that you can connect the local network to another LAN or a WAN. When a PC wants to send a data packet, this packet must travel over a router. The router uses the IP address to detect the network it must send the data to. In addition to connecting to networks, routers can also execute certain control functions, such as maintaining a simple firewall. In a home network, routers are usually used to connect the local network to the Internet and to enable simultaneous Internet access for multiple users.

S

Scheduled Call

The scheduled call provides the option of being reminded of a schedule or to place a specific call by the system telephone. The telephone can be configured with up to 16 schedules. The configured schedules are saved in a scheduled call list in the order they are to be processed.

Server

A server is a computer or a software. Depending on the type of server it fulfils different tasks as part of the network. It provides, for example, other users (clients) in this network with certain information, data and services.

SIP

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a network protocol which provides establishing a communication session between two ore more subscribers. Via SIP only communication conditions are arranged. For actual data transmission other protocols are responsible, as RTP, for example.

SIP Port

The SIP port is entered as the port of the local system which has to be used as the output port for the SIP transfer.

Splitting

Splitting is the switching between two calls. As opposed to a conference call, you can only speak to each communication partner by going back and forth between the two. When you speak with one communication partner, the other call is kept on "hold".

STUN

Using STUN (Simple Transversal of UDP over NATs), the public IP address of a DSL connection can be determined. To do this, a STUN request is sent to a STUN server, which then shares its own IP address allocated by the VoIP provider with the DSL connection.

Subnet mask

Configuring subnetworks makes it possible to connect many totally different networks located in totally different areas because each subnetwork receives its own address and can therefore be addressed by the router. A subnetwork is created when the IP address is linked with a subnet mask:

If a bit in the subnet mask is set, the corresponding bit in the IP address is considered a part of the network address. If a bit is not set in the subnet mask, the corresponding bit in the IP address is used as a part of the PC address.

The value of the subnet mask, as with IP addresses, is often given in decimal form with separating points (for example, 255.255.255.0).

T

Targeted Exchange Line Access

Using targeted exchange line access, you can define which MSN (your own external phone number) is transmitted for an external call and which exchange line should be used while doing so.

Targeted VoIP Access Point

Using a targeted VoIP access point, an external call can be initiated via a specific VoIP account.

Telephone Book

The telephone book is used for storing useful or frequently dialled telephone numbers along with the associated names. If a telephone number that is entered in the telephone book is transmitted during a call, the assigned name is displayed instead of the telephone number is displayed.

In the telephone book, entries (telephone numbers, macros and comments) can be stored. Up to four entries can be assigned to a name (contact).

In addition, internal telephone numbers (subscriber, groups, door, emergency call) as well as the telephone book/short-code numbers on the PBX are displayed. If one of these entries does not have a name, the system telephone generates a name for the telephone book (for example,

int. TN45, KW-A 05306...). The entries cannot be changed in the telephone book of the system telephone; they can only be changed using the corresponding PC software on the PBX (internal telephone numbers with COMset; short-code numbers with COMtools). Each name (contact) is assigned only one telephone number entry. All of the contacts are displayed in alphabetical order.

Text before Answering

The text before answering function enables the caller to be greeted with an automatic announcement before accepting the call (charges apply for the external caller).

Transfer

A communication partner can be transferred or connected to an internal or external subscriber.

Transferring Without Announcement

This describes a type of transfer where external calls are transferred to internal subscribers. The caller is put through to the desired subscriber without an announcement.

V

VLAN

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical network within a physical network. Using a VLAN, you can operate several logical networks within a physical network in order to map company departments logically in the network or to split up network loads, e.g. separating PC data from voice data and introducing prioritization.

The operation of VLANs requires VLAN-capable network components compatible with the IEEE 802.1Q and/or IEEE 802.1P Standard.

Voicemail Center 461/461.2

If a Voicemail Center 461/461.2 (optional accessory from Auerswald) is connected to an Auerswald PBX, its mailboxes can be accessed/managed over the system telephone.

VoIP

In Internet telephony (VoIP, Voice over Internet Protocol), an Internet connection (for example, DSL) is used for telephoning instead of an analogue or ISDN line. In this case, digital voice data is sent as IP packets from one telephone to another. This functions the same way as the transmission of a webpage over the Internet.

There are already numerous providers which issue each customer their own telephone number, which can be called not only over the Internet but also via a public switched network. Depending on the provider used and the number called, these types of telephone connections are extremely reasonable if not free of charge.

Some providers give the impression that Internet telephony is totally free of charge. However, it is important to research the actual costs incurred by taking the tariff tables of the respective provider. As the connection to a public switched network is established over a gateway, the location of the gateway may affect any charges associated with the call. This applies especially to international calls that may be more expensive than simple calls on a public switched network if the gateway is located domestically.

The transmission quality and the reliability of Voice over IP depends to a great extent on the quality of the Internet connection used.

VoIP Account

To get the access data needed for VoIP calls, accounts have to be set up from one or several VoIP providers. To do this, a registration with name and address data has to be done on the website of a provider. Afterwards, one or several telephone numbers which are available on the fixed network and the Internet as well as an account with user name and password are assigned. In the majority of cases the registered account is available within a few minutes and can be used very soon.

A VoIP account can be configured on a telephone. The VoIP account is the prerequisite for communicating with the PBX and should therefore not be changed.

W

Waiting Field Function

In a waiting field, callers can be parked either automatically or by pressing the key, and then individually retrieved and forwarded.

Waiting Loop

If the internal subscriber to which you would like to transfer an external communication partner is busy, you can place the external communication partner in the waiting loop of this subscriber.

Wideband Sound Quality (G.722)

In the field of telephony, this describes a higher level of speech quality. This level of speech quality is achieved through the speech codec G.722, which uses a broader frequency spectrum from 100 to 7000 Hz but only requires 64 kbps of bandwidth. In conventional PSNT telephony, only a frequency spectrum of 300 to 3400 Hz is used; this also uses 64 kbps.

The best possible sound quality depends on the end device used.
