INTEGRATED FEATUREPHONES (FeatureComm III/IV
and 
VNI [Digital])1Analog]There are two types of Featurephones: the Analog and the Digital.
Featurephone shown in Figure 3.1, is a microprocessor-controlledThe
desk
telephone which offers enhanced capabilities through the use of an advanced
digital data link. The Digital Featurephone operation is similar to the Analog
Featurephone except that it utilizes a single card interface versus the line
card and Control Interface to Periphery (CIP) card used with the Analog
Featurephone.TL-130100-1001
3.1GeneralCertain basic differences exist between the Featurephone and the standard
telephone instrument. For instance, an electronic transducer is used to
reproduce electronically generated tones to indicate “ringing”. Three
distinctive ringer cadences are provided to indicate regular inside calls,
outside calls, and inside intercom calls.
Action confirmation tones are also provided. These 
l/l 0 of a second bursts
of tone are referred to as “beeps” for simplicity. For instance, repetitious
beeps (at about l-second intervals) indicate an error in programming and
also act as the audible alerting signal for reminder and duration alarm
features. A triple beep is used to indicate an invalid entry during
programming. The double and single beeps are used for various alerting
functions and will be indicated in the procedures. Visual signals will also be
noted in the procedures. For example, the fluttering LED (480 IPM), along
with the repetitious beeps, indicates an error in programming.
The Featurephone feature buttons perform more than one function. A
depression of approximately 
l/2 second (hereinafter referred to as “depress”)
provides sufficient on-time to activate a preprogrammed feature, while
simultaneously requiring enough on-time to prevent accidental activation. A
depression of 2-3 seconds (hereinafter referred to as “depress and hold”)
initiates entry into, or exit from, programming.
The Featurephone display provides prompts for programming and operating
conditions in addition to information messages and system displays. Each
specific message or number display will be enclosed in quotes 
(““) in the
operating procedures that immediately follow a button depression or other
action.
The Featurephone can seize the line by several methods other than taking the
handset off-hook. Depressing the monitor, new call, or speakerphone
(optional) feature button will also effect seizure. In the latter cases system
tones and voice are heard via the internal loudspeaker. Depression of many
other feature buttons initiates automatic seizure which activates the
loudspeaker, acknowledges dial tone, and dials stored digits.

							TL-130100-1001Figure 3.1 Featurephone With 30-Button Add-On ModuleThe Featurephone shares some identical operational traits with the standard
telephone instrument.The standard “hookswitch flash” operation can be
performed in the same manner as with a standard telephone, although one
feature button can have the 
“flash” feature programmed into it. The touch .
keypad not only operates as in a standard telephone, but also provides 
digitalsignals to the system.
The information provided in this section covers programming and utilization of
features unique to the Featurephone.Although the Featurephone can perform
all the functions associated with standard 
DTivlF station equipment, these will
not be discussed here, except where enhancements are provided by the
Featurephone.

							TL-130100-10013.2Controls, Visual and Audible Indicators, Displays, and
MessagesTwo versions of the Featurephone are available, an 8-button unit and a 
16-button unit. Options for both units include a speakerphone (16-button unit),
and 30-button add-on module. The 
8-button unit provides a 16-character
LCD display located across the top-front of the instrument, while the 
16-button unit has a 24-character display. This version has the increased unit
width required for the second row of buttons. 
LEDs associated with each
button are located near the left of the respective button and are used to
indicate operation confirmation or visual signaling. All buttons are 
non-locking and a standard DTMF keypad is provided. A slider-type volume
control located at the front edge of the case is provided for adjusting the
sound level for monitor, voice page, and speakerphone. The volume and
pitch of ringing and signaling tones are digitally programmed. Figure 3.1
shows a 16-button version of the IFP, with a 30-button add-on unit.
3.2.1Dual-Function ButtonsWhere a feature button has been programmed for the SHIFT function,
depressing SHIFT changes the function of the next feature button depressed
to its alternate function. Depressing the SHIFT button also causes the SHIFT
LED to light and remain lit until the depression of another feature button or a
second depression of the SHIFT button.
3.2.2Visual SignalsThe top LED adjacent to each feature button, when lit, indicates the status of
the feature option as shown in Table 3.1. The bottom LED, when lit, indicates
that the SHIFT key has been depressed and the feature button is in its
alternate mode.
3.2.3Audible Signals
Programming tones and their meanings are listed in Table 3.2, and distinctiveringing tones are listed in Table 3.3. Note that all tones normally associated
with standard station equipment (Paragraph 2.1) can be accommodated by
the Featurephone.

							TL-130100-10013.2.4Displays and Messages
Numerous displays and messages appear during programming and routineoperation of the Featurephone. These are divided into three categories:
automatic displays, source displays, and feature button related displays.Automatic displays are those which occur automatically in the course of
normal operation, e.g.,“PLEASE DIAL”, and are shown in Table 3.4. Source
displays indicate the source placing the call. Inside and outside call source
display formats are shown in Tables 3.5 and 3.6. Feature button relatedprogramming displays result from the programming sequence of any of the
feature buttons and contain various prompts and messages.
3.3Preparing the Featurephone for Operation
Both the Digital Featurephone and the Analog Featurephone requiredownloading from the system data base prior to operation. Downloading the
Digital Featurephone is similar to the downloading of the Analog Featurephone
except:
(a)Adding a new Voice Control Interface to Periphery (VCIP) Card
or Data Voice Control interface to Periphery (DVCIP) cardphysically to the system will cause a download to occur to the
card.
(b)Adding a new Digital Featurephone to the system will
cause a download to occur to the Digital Featurephone.

3.3.1DownloadingWhen the system is initially brought into operation, or a new Featurephone is
connected to the system, the first action initiated by the Featurephone is to
make a download request to the system. Download may also be initiated as a
maintenance request, activating a sequence which sends information from the
system’s memory to the Featurephone memory.
81875210 
						

							TL-130100-1001Upon request to the switch for download to begin, the Featurephone display
shows “WTG FOR LOAD XXXX”, where XXXX is the date the ROM portion ofthe Featurephone program was created. While the actual download is taking
place (6-7 minutes), the Featurephone will display “LOADING XXXX AA”,
where XXXX is the date the download portion of the program was created,and AA is the block in memory being loaded. Download, when complete,
provides the Featurephone with all necessary system operating parameters,
including specific site-dependent data base program information. The
display shows flashing time and date when download is complete.A single-line Featurephone now has the top four buttons adjacent to the
keypad preprogrammed for specific functions. Starting at the top, these
functions are MONITOR, DO NOT DISTURB, FLASH, and NEW CALL. A
multi-line set will have two additional buttons programmed. The fifth button is
programmed for HOLD and the eighth button for LINE. All other buttons are
programmed as REPERTORY DIAL in downloading and must be
reprogrammed by the user for other desired features.Certain control functions are also programmed in the download operation.
These are RING VOLUME, RING PITCH, CLOCK DISPLAY, CLOCK TYPE,
PAUSE DURATION, CALL FORWARD NO ANSWER, and REFERENCE.The feature buttons and control functions programmed in download are user
reprogrammable, thus allowing the user to tailor the Featurephone to best suit
the situations.
All programming functions associated with the Featurephone areaccomplished in a simple sequential manner. Confirmation or alerting tones
accompany each operation as do the flashing, fluttering, or steady LED
indications, and the displaying of pertinent information in a menu-typepresentation, and prompts the user throughout any programming sequence.
Changes to any programmed instruction can be accomplished at any time the
Featurephone is not in use. Control function reprogramming is covered in
Paragraph 3.4 and feature programming/reprogramming are listed
alphabetically in Paragraph 3.5.
3.3.2Operational Verification (User Diagnostics)The following diagnostic tests enable the user to perform a check on the
instrument’s 
LEDs, feature buttons, keypad buttons, display, and audible
signals.User diagnostics are accessed by depressing 
#. The test codes shown in
Table 3.7 are assigned to operate the tests which follow.
