This feature is normally assigned to a key on a secretary's set. It allows the secretary to:-
a. Obtain a visual indication as to the state of the manager's set (free, busy or
call forwarded).
The lamp associated with the BFS key will display one of the four
conditions below:-
Not lit
Manager is free and is not call forwarded
Lit Steady
Manager is busy and not call forwarded
Fast Flash
Manager is free and has call forward active
Slow Flash
Manager is busy and has call forward active
b. Remotely call forward the manager's set to the secretary's set by pressing
the key.
If the secretary pushes the BFS key any call to a DN on the manager's set will be diverted to the secretary's set. Whilst the BFS key is pressed the lamp next to the "Call Forward" key on the manager's set will remain lit thus giving the manager a visual indication that calls are being diverted.
c. By selecting a DN key then pressing the BFS, a call will be made to the prime DN of the TN assigned to the BFS key.
Feature Implementation
The BFS mnemonic and the manager's TN are assigned to a key on the secretary's set using LD 11. See example below.
LD 11
Secretary's set
REQ CHG Change
TYPE XX XX = telephone type 2616 etc
TN xx xx = Terminal Number
ECHG YES Easy Change
ITEM KEY x BFS y-y Busy and Forward Status is assigned to key x and the Manager's TN is identified. x = key number, y-y = the Managers TN
You can check if a set is monitored by printing out the TN of the Managers set.
LD 20
REQ PRT Print
TYPE TNB
CUST "0"
TN X X X X = The terminal number of the Managers / monitored extension
Carriage return until the TN is printed out
You will be presented with a large list of information relating to the TN you have printed, the prompt specific to Busy and Call forward status is BFTN. Next to the prompt will be the TN of the set that is monitoring, i.e. the Secretary's set.
