How Does Power Fail Phones work

Meridian 61 C Rls 24

After a power fail and if the betteries goes dead
1- will the calls to the main numbers to (reception Consol )goes automatically to those phones, how about callas to auto attendant where will they go?
2- will calls be routed in order
first call go to 321 xxxx, second goes to 322 zzzz and so on?
3- is ther is a way to control calls to X number goes where,
4- can we transfer calls between those lines, how?
5- at what position the power fail module switch should be all the time for power fail to work automatically
6- where can we see the present config and how to change it

Thank you

Serge9,
I'll try to answer some of your questions.
1. In our situation the powerfail phones are wired at the 66 blocks to 3 trunk lines coming in to the site. They do not go to the auto attendent.
2. Don't know about routing order.
3. Our vendor cross-connects from the 3 designated trunks to a special 66 block which takes 4 pr for each powerfail phone. The trunks are the main number and 2 others.
4. Don't think you can transfer, but not sure.
5. The rocker switch on the botton of the PowerFail unit should be set to normal. The way we test the red PowerFail phones we use here is to switch from normal to bypass which causes all incoming calls to ring only on the 3 red phones. We then move the switch back to normal of course.
6. Our PowerFail unit is made by Dees and you can download documentation from their web site.

Hope this helps some.

you have a trunk in on the block, next pair is the trunk out, to the card, the 3rd pair is analog dial tone in from the switch, the 4th pair is a jumper to the analog power fail station.. if those trunks are getting analog ring for an incoming call, then during a power fail, the analog station will ring for that trunk... might be reduntant to say but they will not work on dids, pri's etc.. in other words they don't usually work worth a darn, the sets wonder off or the switch dies and the power fail don't switch.. the routing is all done with analog wiring.. hope this helps
