Do Not Disturb Override; Door Box; Door Box Relays; Door Box Alerts - NEC DSX PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Manual

Note: When transferring an outside call to an extension in DND, the Transfer will be blocked if the extension
has enabled DND for all calls (type 3) or DND for outside calls (type 1). The Transfer will be allowed if the
extension has enabled DND for Intercom calls (type 2).

Do Not Disturb Override

Easily override a co-worker's Do Not Disturb.
Do Not Disturb Override lets an extension user override another extension's Do Not Disturb. This allows a
priority employee (such as a supervisor or executive) to get through to a co-worker right away while the co-
worker's phone is in Do Not Disturb. DND Override is available to all extensions that have DND Override
set in their Class of Service. It is also available to any extension that has a Hotline key for a co-worker, even
without the Class of Service option enabled.

Door Box

Use a Door Box to remotely monitor an entrance door.
The Door Box (P/N 922450) is a self-contained analog Intercom unit typically used to monitor an entrance
door. A visitor at the door can press the Door Box call button (like a door bell). The Door Box then sends
chime tones or ringing to all extensions programmed to receive chimes. To answer the chime or ringing, the
called extension user just lifts the handset. This lets the extension user talk to the visitor at the Door Box.
The Door Box is convenient to have at a delivery entrance, for example. It is not necessary to have company
personnel monitor the delivery entrance; they just answer the Door Box instead.
Refer to Optional Equipment in the Hardware Manual that came with your system for more or installing the
Analog Door Box.

Door Box Relays

Any keyset extension that receives Door Box chimes or ringing can control a control relay, which in turn
typically enables an electric strike on an entrance door next to the Door Box.

Door Box Alerts

The system uses Ring Groups to control Door Box alerts. When a visitor at the door presses the Door Box
call button, the Door Box will alert (chime or ring) all the extensions in the Ring Group to which the Door
Box belongs. For example, if Door Box 309 and extensions 301 and 302 are in Ring Group 1, pressing the
call button alerts 301 and 302.

Extended Ringing

Lets calls ring longer that usual to assist co-workers that can't readily get to their phones.
Extended Ringing forces an unanswered call to ring a telephone an extended number of times before rerout-
ing. This helps a users that cannot get to their phone quickly to pick up calls (such as a warehouse worker).
Extended Ringing is available with the following features:
