Once Data Line Security is set on an extension, communication between the extension and the other party is protected from signals such as Call Waiting, Hold Recall and Executive Busy Override. Extensions which have devices connected to them such as modems or fax machines may set this feature to maintain secure data transmission, by blocking tones or other interruptions during communication.
It is possible to assign this PBX as a DHCP client, allowing IP addresses to be received from a DHCP server over a LAN.
Conditions
•
It is possible to enable this feature through system programming.
WARNING It is important to set your DHCP server to not change the IP addresses of the IPCMPR and DSP cards once IP telephones are registered to the PBX. The IP telephones will not operate properly if these IP addresses are changed.
The dialing mode (rotary or tone) can be selected for each analog CO line through system programming regardless of the originating extension (under contract with the telephone company).
Mode
Description
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency)
Numbers dialed by an extension user are transmitted to the CO line using analog tones.
Pulse Dial (Rotary)
Numbers dialed by an extension user are transmitted to the CO line using analog pulses.
Conditions
•
Pulse to Tone Conversion It is possible for an extension user to temporarily switch from Pulse mode to DTMF mode in order to access special services such as computer-accessed long distance calling or voice mail services. To switch to DTMF mode, wait for a preprogrammed time period (Default: 5 seconds) after the CO line is connected, or press . This feature works only on CO lines set to Pulse mode. DTMF mode cannot be changed to Pulse mode.
•
It is possible to select a pulse rate for the CO line port which has been set to Pulse mode. There are two pulse rates: Low (10 pps) and High (20 pps).
•
It is possible to assign the minimum duration of the DTMF signal sent to the CO line port which has been set to DTMF mode.
The following dial tones inform extension users about features activated on their extensions:
Each dial tone type has two frequencies, such as dial tone 1A and dial tone 1B.

Conditions
•
Dial Tone Type A/B Through system programming, it is possible to select dial tone type A or B for dial tones 1 through 4. If "Type A" is selected, all dial tones 1 through 4 will become dial tone type A. The dial tone type for the ARS feature can be selected separately. If "Type A" is selected for ARS, dial tone 1A will be heard. If "Type B" is selected, dial tone 1B will be heard.
•
Distinctive Dial tone Distinctive dial tones can be disabled. When disabled, dial tone 1 will be heard in all cases except those marked with "*" in the table above.
•
Dial Tone Patterns All dial tone patterns have a default (→ 2.2 Tones/Ring Tones).
An extension assigned as the manager can change the TRS level (→ 1.17.6 TRS (Toll Restriction)) for an extension user temporarily. After that, the extension user can make his call.
[Example]
A hotel guest calls the front desk and asks for the telephone's toll restriction to be lifted in order to make an international call.
Conditions
•
The modified TRS level only applies to the next one call placed at the user's extension.
•
Toll Restriction Button A manager extension must store the TRS level granted by the Dial Tone Transfer beforehand, when assigning a flexible button as the Toll Restriction button.
Directs a call on a public CO line assigned as a Direct Inward Dialing (DID) line to a preprogrammed destination according to the call's DID number, which is based on the telephone number dialed by the caller. When a call reaches its destination via DID distribution, the DID name will be displayed on the proprietary telephone (PT), allowing extension users to easily see whom a call is directed to. Each DID number has a destination for each time mode.
DID distribution allows you to use your telephone numbers for specific purposes. For example, you can direct calls from customers' fax machines to your office fax machine automatically, or allow your overseas customers to be automatically connected to specific operators.
The PBX looks for the DID number in the table and finds it in location 1.
2)
The PBX checks the time mode.
In day mode: Calling Line Identification (CLI) distribution is enabled. The call is routed to its CLI destination, if assigned. If not assigned, the call is routed to the DID destination, extension 105, and "Sales" is displayed.
In lunch mode: CLI distribution is disabled. The call is routed to the DID destination, extension 100, and "Sales" is displayed.
Note
Tenant numbers and VPS trunk group numbers (not shown here) can also be programmed in the DID Table. The tenant number programmed here is used only to determine the Time Table used by each DID number; selecting tenant 3 means the DID number will use Time Table 3, for example. The VPS trunk group number set here is used to determine the Incoming Call Service and greeting message used by the Voice Processing System (VPS) during the current time mode. (→ 1.19.4 Voice Mail DPT (Digital) Integration).
Conditions
•
To use this feature, DID must be assigned as the distribution method for the desired CO line port.
Directs an incoming public CO line call to a preprogrammed destination based on the CO line carrying the call. Each CO line has a destination for each time mode.
In day mode: Calling Line Identification (CLI) distribution is enabled. The call is routed to its CLI destination, if assigned. If not assigned, the call is routed to the Direct In Line (DIL) destination, extension 101.
In lunch mode: CLI distribution is disabled. The call is routed to the DIL destination, extension 100.
Note
Tenant numbers and VPS trunk group numbers (not shown here) can also be programmed in the DIL Table. The tenant number programmed here is used only to determine the Time Table used by each CO line; selecting tenant 3 means the CO line will use Time Table 3, for example. The VPS trunk group number set here is used to determine the Incoming Call Service and greeting message used by the Voice Processing System (VPS) during the current time mode. (→ 1.19.4 Voice Mail DPT (Digital) Integration).
Conditions
•
To use this feature, DIL must be assigned as the distribution method for the desired CO line port.
An outside caller can access specific PBX features as if the caller is an SLT extension user in the PBX, when the incoming call destination is a DISA floating extension number assigned to each DISA message. The caller can have direct access to features such as:
•
Placing an intercom call to an extension, operator or any floating extensions (e.g., modem for remote system administration, an external pager for TAFAS).
•
Calling an outside party via the PBX.
•
Operating some PBX remote features (e.g., FWD).
[Flowchart]
DISA Intercept Routing—No Dial
If the caller fails to dial any digits within a preprogrammed time period (DISA 1st Dial Time for Intercept) after hearing the outgoing message (OGM), one of the following can be selected through system programming:
a)
Disable: The call will be terminated.
b)
Operator: The call will be redirected to the operator.
c)
AA-0, AA-9: The call will be redirected to the destination assigned to that AA number.
DISA Built-in Automated Attendant Number (DISA AA Service)
After listening to the outgoing message (OGM), the caller may dial a single digit (DISA AA number). The destination for each DISA AA number can be assigned for each message. It is also possible to assign other DISA floating extension numbers as the destination (Multistep DISA AA Service). If the caller dials a second digit within a preprogrammed time period (DISA 2nd Dial Time for AA), the DISA AA service is not employed.
When a call arrives on a DISA line, a prerecorded DISA message will greet and guide the caller. Any extension assigned as the manager can record outgoing messages (OGMs). (→ 1.12.2 OGM (Outgoing Message))
If the DISA AA service is not employed, the caller may access the PBX features by entering the feature numbers. To prevent others from accessing the PBX features, it is possible to assign DISA security.
The features available depend on the preprogrammed DISA security mode as follows:
Security Mode
Intercom Call
TIE Line Call
CO Line Call
Without PBX Code
With PBX Code
All Security
CO Line Security
No Security
*
:
Available
*:
If CO line call is available, Account Code Entry (→ 1.1.2 Account Code Entry) is also available.
Note
DISA AA service and Operator Call (→ 1.12.5 Operator Features) are available for any security mode.
Security Mode Override by Verification Code Entry If the caller performs Verification Code Entry (→ 1.19.1 Verification Code Entry) while hearing a DISA message, the security mode can be temporarily changed to No Security mode. Entry method: Verification Code Entry feature number + + verification code + verification code PIN
After changing mode, the new mode remains in force for the duration of the call.
DISA Intercept Routing—Busy
If the first destination called by the outside party is busy, the call is redirected as follows:
a)
The call is redirected to the Intercept Routing—Busy destination assigned to the first destination.
b)
If an Intercept Routing—Busy destination is not assigned to the first destination and a prerecorded DISA Busy Message is assigned, the caller will hear the DISA Busy Message.
c)
If neither an intercept destination nor a DISA Busy Message is assigned, the caller will hear a busy tone.
If the destination called by the outside party is in DND mode and Idle Extension Hunting is not available, one of the following can be selected through system programming:
a)
Busy Tone: The caller will hear a busy tone.
b)
Enable: DND will redirect the call to the preprogrammed destination on an extension basis.
c)
OGM: An outgoing message (OGM) will be sent to the caller. The message for DND mode can be assigned for each outgoing message (OGM) which has a DISA floating extension number.
If a destination is not available to answer a DISA call within a preprogrammed time period (DISA Intercept time) after the call is reached, the call will be redirected to the programmed destination by the Intercept feature. If the intercept destination is not available to answer the call within a preprogrammed time period (DISA Disconnect Time after Intercept) after the DISA Intercept time expires, the call will be disconnected.
If the caller performs Walking COS (extension number and PIN entry) while hearing a DISA message, the security mode can be temporarily changed to No Security mode (→ 1.20.1 Walking COS). After performing Walking COS, the following features are available, using the settings of the specified extension:
Registered outside destinations such as cellular phones can be automatically recognized as PBX extensions when calling through DISA. When the Caller ID of a received CO line call matches an entry in the System Speed Dialing Table, the calling telephone is given Walking COS authorization as assigned to the corresponding CLI destination extension. Therefore, the "CLI destination" setting in the System Speed Dialing Table is used here to specify the target extension that the calling telephone will be recognized as for Walking COS.

"CLI" must be set to Disable, to allow incoming calls to be received by DISA.
In this example, calls received on CO line 01 are routed to the DISA OGM with floating extension number 501. If the number of the received call (after modification according to the Caller ID table) is "1-234-111-5678", the call originator is recognized as extension 200, and the Walking COS feature is automatically activated. System programming is required to enable this feature.
WARNING There is a risk that fraudulent telephone calls will be made using the CO-to-CO Line Call feature of DISA. The cost of such calls will be billed to the owner/renter of the PBX. To protect the PBX from this kind of fraudulent use, we strongly recommend:
a)
Enabling DISA security (CO Line Security or All Security).
Selecting complex, random PINs that cannot be easily guessed.
d)
Changing PINs regularly.
•
Hardware Requirement:
An OPB card and MSG card
•
DISA Delayed Answer Time It is possible to set the Delayed Answer time so that the caller will hear a ringback tone within a preprogrammed time period first before hearing an outgoing message (OGM).
Call Retry While hearing a ringback, reorder, or busy tone, retrying the call is possible by pressing "". System programming selects whether pressing "" during a CO-to-CO line conversation returns to the DISA top menu or sends a DTMF tone.
•
DISA Mute Time It is possible to set the Mute time until the outgoing message (OGM) plays and the PBX starts to receive the DTMF signaling after the caller reaches the DISA line.
CO-to-CO Line Call Duration Limitation For a call between two outside parties, even if end of call detection cannot be performed, the call can be disconnected by a system timer. (→ 1.3.16 CO Line Call Limitation) If the timer expires, the line will be disconnected unless the originating caller extends the time by sending any DTMF signaling. The caller can prolong the call duration within the preprogrammed time period and preprogrammed number of times.
Automatic DISA Activation DISA can be set through system programming to automatically activate for the following types of CO-to-CO line calls, to enable detection of the end of the call.
–
When a CO line call is forwarded to another CO line
–
When a CO line call is transferred to another CO line
–
When a CO line call to an incoming call distribution group is answered by an outside destination member
Before the call is made, the PBX confirms that a DISA port is available. If no DISA ports are available, the call is not routed to a CO line. For transferred calls or calls to an ICD Group, if the DISA port has become unavailable when the CO-to-CO line conversation is actually established, the call is established without DISA. When using this feature, the CO-to-CO Line Call Limitation timer should be enabled. In addition, prolonging the call through DTMF signaling is not available.
The KX-NCS4910 (Activation Key for Software Upgrade to Enhanced Version) is required to use this feature.
–
DISA security mode should be set to No Security or CO Line Security.
–
If the called extension does not answer, is busy, or is in DND mode, the DISA Intercept feature operates.
–
The party on hold can use the Call Retry feature.
–
End of Call Detection does not operate after dialing “#”.
–
Calls can only be transferred to extensions within the PBX.
–
Transfer Recall, Call Splitting and Call Transfer with Announcement are not available.
•
DISA Reorder Tone Duration It is possible to set the DISA Reorder Tone Duration time. This specifies the length of time that a reorder tone will be sent to the caller. When the timer expires, the call will be disconnected. Call Retry is possible during the DISA Reorder Tone Duration time.
Verification Code PIN Lock/Extension PIN Lock If the wrong PIN is entered three times, the line will be disconnected. If the wrong PIN is entered a preprogrammed number of times successively, that extension or verification code will become locked, and even entering the correct PIN will not unlock it. Only an extension assigned as the manager can unlock it. In this case, the PIN will be unlocked and cleared.
