External Paging equipment, the ACI port provides External Paging independent of the Aspire NTCPU external paging input (the Aspire S CPU does not provide an external paging input). To use the External Paging, an extension user just dials the ACI analog port extension number and makes the announcement.
Page 68
Section 3: Features ● Auxiliary Device Control The PGDAD module can control a customer-provided tape recorder. When an extension user dials the ACI analog port extension number, they can automatically start the recorder and acti- vate the record function. When the user hangs up, the recording stops and the tape recorder turns off.

VRS is left, the envelope icon will be shown in the LCD display. EXT 310 If the Aspire Wireless is out of range or if the phone is turned off, the message indication will be delayed until the phone returns into range or is powered up.
Section 3: Features Attendant Call Queuing Aspire S Aspire M/L/XL • Available. • Available. Description Attendant extensions can have up to 32 incoming calls queued before additional callers hear busy tone. This helps minimize call congestion in systems that use the attendant as the overßow destina- tion for unanswered calls.
Page 73
Section 3: Features Description Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) uniformly distributes calls among member agents of a pro- grammed ACD Group. When a call rings into an ACD Group, the system automatically routes the call to the agent that has been idle the longest. Automatic Call Distribution is much more sophisti- cated and comprehensive than Department Calling and other group services - it can accurately judge the work load at each agent and distribute calls accordingly.
Page 74
However, with software 4.0E and higher, AIC log on/log off operations are supported. The Aspire P Commands will indicate which ACD Group is being logged onto when an AIC code is entered. Also when an agent logs off, there will be a multiple log of events, one log off event for each previous ACD log on event.
Page 75
Section 3: Features ● Enhanced DSS Operation A programmed extension user can use their DSS Console to monitor the status of the ACD Agents within a group. The DSS Console is an essential tool for supervisors. The console key ßash rates tell the supervisor at a glance which of the group’s agents are: - Logged onto the group (i.e., in service) - Logged out of the group (i.e., out of service) - Busy on a call...
Page 76
Section 3: Features ● Supervisor, ACD Group You can designate an extension in an ACD Group to be the group’s supervisor. Once assigned as an ACD Group Supervisor, the user can: - Take the entire ACD Group out of service. - Check the log out status of each agent after the group taken down.
Page 77
Section 3: Features Hotline gives a keyset user one-button calling and Transfer to another extension (the Hot- line partner). Hotline helps co-workers that work closely together. The Hotline partners can call or Transfer calls to each other just by pressing a single key. Enhanced for ACD applications, Hotline provides a unique Busy Lamp Field for ACD agents as well as a BLF for co-workers that are not ACD agents.
Page 78
This feature is not yet supported by the inDepth software. Previously, the Aspire P Commands would not support AIC log on/ log off. Because of this, it was not possible for the inDepth MIS software to determine which ACD groups each extension was a member of or to which ACD groups calls were presented.
The ARS feature can add or delete digits and route calls according to pre-determined levels. When Aspire systems are networked together by a tie line, the networked systems can be called by a sys- tem number and a user’s extension number, just an extension number, or by using a trunk access code.
This option would apply to both PRI and BRI ISDN trunks. If the trunk in the used in Program 26- 02 : Dial Analysis Table for ARS/LCR is not an ISDN trunk, this code in the dial treatment will be ignored. Background Music Aspire S Aspire M/L/XL • Available.
Section 3: Features Barge In Aspire S Aspire M/L/XL • Available. • Available. Description Barge In permits an extension user to break into another extension user’s established call, including Conference calls.

Section 3: Features Call Redirect Aspire S Aspire M/L/XL • Available. • Available. Description Call Redirect allows a keyset user to transfer a call to a pre-deÞned destination (such as an operator, voice mail, or another extension) without answering the call. This can be useful if you are on a call and another rings in to your extension.
Section 3: Features Callback Aspire S Aspire M/L/XL • Available. • Available. Description When an extension user calls a co-worker that doesn’t answer, they can leave a Callback request for a return call.
