Telephone dialing
DCP telephone dialing allows telephone users to originate and control data calls
from a telephone.
Users can set up a call using any unrestricted telephone and then transfer the call
to a data endpoint.
The primary way to make data calls is with multiappearance telephone
data-extension buttons. Assign any administrable feature button as a
data-extension button. The data-extension button provides one-touch access to a
data module. The number of assigned data-extension buttons per telephone is not
limited.
The following options, either alone or combined, permit flexibility in making data
calls from a telephone.
■ One-Button Transfer to Data
A user can transfer a call to the associated data module by pressing the
data-extension button after the endpoint answers.
■ Return-to-Voice
A user can change the connection from data to voice. The user presses the
data-extension button associated with the busy data module. If the user
hangs up, the call disconnects. Return of a data call to the telephone implies
that the same data call is continued in the voice mode, or transferred to
point.
The Return-to-Voice feature is denied for analog adjuncts.
■ Data Call Preindication
A user, before dialing a data endpoint, can reserve the associated data
module by pressing the data-extension button. This ensures that a
conversion resource, if needed, and the data module are reserved for the
call. Use of Data Call Preindication before 1-button transfer to data is
recommended for data calls that use toll-network facilities. Data Call
Preindication is in effect until the associated data-extension button is
pressed again for a 1-button transfer; there is no time-out.
