Proper Use
The COMfortel 1100 is a system telephone.
A system telephone is intended exclusively for connecting an internal S0 or UP0 port to the following PBX units from Auerswald: COMpact 2204 USB, COMpact 3000, COMpact 2206 USB, COMpact 4406 DSL, COMpact 4410 USB, COMpact 5010 VoIP, COMpact 5020 VoIP, COMmander Basic (19"), COMmander Basic.2 (19") and COMmander Business (19").
Note: Connecting to a PBX from another manufacturer or to the external S0 connection of a network provider is not intended.
The system telephone is not cordless and is intended for use in closed, dry rooms.
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.
The system telephone is different from “normal telephones” connected to Auerswald 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. Furthermore, the system telephone offers various telephone number lists (for example, a caller list and a calls list).
The system telephone can be configured using the PC software included in the package. The required PC is connected to a PC interface on the PBX.
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 wired headset (not included in the package). It is connected in place of a receiver in the receiver jack.
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.)

The following information is displayed during an incoming call: Caller, call waiting or call type (for special calls, for example, alarm calls, wake-up calls, callback)

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).

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.

Ringer Melodies
Determining Different Types of Calls
There are 8 different ringer melodies available to differentiate between types of calls.
The ringer melodies can be assigned to different kinds of calls 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 COMfortel Set. 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
- Door calls
- Call deblocker calls (calls enabled despite do-not-disturb)
- Wake-up calls
- Other calls
- 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 COMfortel Set.
Important: Only available for operation on the PBXs COMpact 3000, COMpact 5010 VoIP, COMpact 5020 VoIP, COMmander Basic.2 and COMmander Business.
- 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 COMfortel Set.
As external and internal calls can be affected by more than one of these three settings, these types of calls are signaled based on a predetermined sequence (priority list). When this is done, 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
- 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
- For a ringer melody configured for a certain external telephone number, in as much as the telephone number was dialled by the caller
- For the ringer melody configured for a certain group telephone number, in as much as the group is called

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.
Configuring and Operating Function Key for Call Forwarding for Subscribers
Press the key to enable, disable and switch call forwarding for subscribers over.
Exception: A key that is defined to disable call forwarding for subscribers only disables the currently enabled call forwarding for subscribers.
In addition, when functions are defined on the first key level, the status of the function is indicated by the corresponding LED.
LED signalling next to the key (not applicable if defined with "deactivate all"):
Red Call forwarding for subscribers is enabled for the configured destination.
Yellow Call forwarding for subscribers is enabled for another destination.

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
Important: Only available for operation on the PBXs COMpact 3000, COMpact 5010 VoIP, COMpact 5020 VoIP, COMmander Basic.2 and COMmander Business.
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.

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".

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
Print function
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 4406 DSL, COMpact 4410 USB, COMmander Basic, COMpact 5020 VoIP, COMmander Basic.2 and COMmander Business.
The hotel function is configured as described in the following.
- For operation on the PBXs COMpact 5020 VoIP, COMmander Basic.2 and COMmander Business: 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 or configuration software 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 COMfortel 1100 system telephone as a reception telephone.
It is not possible to use the system telephone as a waiting field reception and as a reception telephone at the same time.
For operation on the PBXs COMpact 4406 DSL and COMpact 4410 USB, a max. of 1 hotel reception telephone is possible. For operation on the PBX COMmander Basic, a max. of 4 hotel reception telephones is possible.
- Use the configuration manager or the configuration software 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 COMfortel Set for the cost per call unit must correspond with the value configured in the PBX.

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.
The configuration can be carried out as follows:
• Via COMfortel Set

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.

Selecting a PBX
The configuration of the telephone is dependent on the PBX that it is run on. In order to preconfigure a telephone for operation in another PBX (for example, for service calls), configure the system to be valid ahead of time. Ignore the error message and configure the desired presettings using the COMfortel Set. If you select another PBX instead of COMpact 3000, COMpact 5010 VoIP, COMpact 5020 VoIP, COMmander Basic.2 or COMmander Business (or vice versa), the existing configuration is irrevocably deleted.
The selection can be carried out as follows:
• Via the telephone menu
Requirements:
- Knowledge of the telephone, its menu options and the required PIN, if necessary
- Press the menu key and open the menu select PBX.
- Select the desired PBX.
The telephone restarts.
Note: If the wrong PBX is selected, this is detected and an error message is displayed. If the setting for a wrong PBX is made on purpose for service reasons, the error message must be ignored.
Initiating PBX Synchronisation
If necessary, you can initiate a complete data synchronisation with the PBX.
Initiation can be carried out as follows:
• Via the telephone menu
Requirements:
– Knowledge of the telephone, its menu options and the required PIN, if necessary
- Press the menu key and open the menu sync. with PBX. Data synchronisation is performed with the PBX.

Terminology and Functions
A C D E F G H I L M P Q R S T V W
A
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.
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 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 date and time of the call (for multiple call attempts, date/time of the last call attempt). A maximum of 10 telephone numbers can be saved. If more than 10 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 and time of the call. A maximum of 10 calls can be saved. For more than 10 calls, the oldest entry is overwritten. A previous communication partner can called directly from the calls list.
Conference Calls
During a conference call, you are talking with two subscribers simultaneously.
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.
D
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.
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.
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
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.
G
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.
|
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Power Save Mode
In power save mode, the LEDs are inactive (exception: the message LED blinks for missed calls).
Glossary
Terminology and Functions
Q
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.
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
Redial List
The last 10 telephone numbers dialled are saved in the redial list. For more than 10 telephone numbers dialled, the oldest entry is overwritten. The telephone numbers are saved along with 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.
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.
S
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.
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".
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
Internal telephone numbers (subscriber, groups, door, emergency call) as well as the telephone book/short-code numbers on the PBX are displayed in the telephone book. 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 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). All of the contacts are displayed in alphabetical order.
If a telephone number that is in the telephone book is transmitted during a call, the assigned name is displayed instead of the telephone number.
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
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 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.
W
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.
