Iwatsu Adix Vs Owners Manual

							ADIX-VS System Features - 29  Flexible Call Forward (Internal/ External) 
With the new Flexible Call Forward feature, the user can forward calls to an internal 
destination or external line using Personal Speed Dial numbers 90-99. The user can 
also set separate call forward destinations for incoming intercom and incoming outside 
line calls. For instance, you could set all intercom calls forward to your cell phone and 
all outside line calls to forward to your voice mail. The Flexible Call Forward feature 
also includes Follow Me capabilities. From the callers perspective, the call 
forwarding process is seamless. 
Flexible Ringing 
Outside telephone lines directed to telephones may be assigned one of four tones to 
provide an audible identification of the type of call. 
Flexible Station Numbering 
ADIX-VS features a flexible numbering plan. At default, each station is assigned a 
three-digit extension number. Through system programming, system numbering may 
be changed to two, three, or four digits in length. 
Group Monitoring 
Key telephones and attendant stations can now be set to enable or disable group 
monitoring from the speaker. This feature allows a user not utilizing the group 
monitoring feature a smooth transition from handset to speakerphone. 
Hunt Group Delayed Ringing 
A Hunt Group may be programmed as the delayed ringing assignment for a trunk. If a 
call on an outside line is not answered at the ringing stations within a programmable 
duration, the call starts ringing to a hunt group. This feature makes it possible for you 
to send delayed calls to certain departments to voicemail or another department. For 
example, the Sales line can have a different delayed ringing destination than the 
Support line. If Sales is closed, calls might be forwarded to Support or to a Sales voice 
mailbox. 
Internal Paging 
When ADIX-VS is equipped with ADIX-VS digital key telephones, any telephone 
may make a page announcement that will be broadcast through the speaker of 
assigned telephones.  
						

							ADIX-VS System Features - 30  ISDN Calling/Called Party Number Coding 
Iwatsu has added a programmable option to code the setup messages for Calling Party 
Number and Called Party Number Information Elements. Recent changes in some 
areas now require customer provided equipment (CPE) to send information in setup 
messages. However, other areas cannot accept the new information. The new 
programming element accommodates both situations. 
ISDN Lines 
ADIX-VS will support ISDN BRI (Basic Rate Interface) lines when the optional VS-
ICOTB card is utilized. A maximum of 3 VS-ICOTB cards may be installed in the 
system. Each VS-ICTOB card supports one ISDN BRI Line (2 B channels + 1 D 
channel). 
ISDN BRI Caller Name ID 
The ISDN BRI interfaces of the ADIX-VS can now receive Caller Name ID 
information from an incoming ISDN BRI trunk. The information displays on the LCD 
of the key telephone. 
IX-MKT Key Assignment 
A new key pattern (007 in Class 14.01) is included with version 1.30 software to 
accommodate the new IX-MKT telephone. The IX-MKT telephone is scheduled for 
release in the spring of 2000. 
Loud Bell Interface 
Outside telephone lines may be directed to ring a loud bell when ADIX-VS is 
equipped with the optional VS-MISC Miscellaneous Function Card.  Each VS-MISC 
card will support two loud bells.  
						

							ADIX-VS System Features - 31  Master Hunt Group 
ADIX-VS will support 10 master hunt groups. Each master hunt group can contain 
up to 16 extensions. 
A hunt group is a group of telephones that is assigned a common access code.  When 
this code is dialed, ADIX-VS will search for an idle telephone in that group.  There 
are two ways that calls may search for an idle extension, Terminal and Distributed 
Hunting.  In Terminal Hunting the incoming calls always start hunting from the first 
telephone in the group.  In Distributed Hunting the incoming calls start hunting from 
the telephone following the last called telephone.  In both cases, calls will hunt to the 
next telephone if a telephone does not answer in a predefined period of time, is busy, 
and in Call Forward, Absence Message or Do Not Disturb mode. 
Monitor Improvements 
Operation of the Monitor feature has changed so that it does not conflict with other 
features such as Whisper Page, Off-Hook Signal, Off-Hook Outside Line Ringing, etc. 
The original Monitor feature required you to call the station you wish to monitor first 
and then press the Monitor key. With this Version 1.3 enhancement, you now press 
the Monitor key and dial the extension you wish to monitor. This alleviates any 
conflicts with other features.  
Music On Hold 
If your ADIX-VS system is connected to an external music source through the VS-
MAIN Motherboard, the music played may be heard by callers that have been placed 
on Hold or Call Park.  
						

							ADIX-VS System Features - 32  Optimized Routing 
Optimized Routing is frequently referred to as either Least Cost Routing (LCR) or 
Automatic Route Selection (ARS).  This feature allows ADIX-VS to automatically 
select the most inexpensive way to make an outgoing call.  The system identifies the 
dialed number, then selects the most cost-effective outside line group.  If a line in the 
first choice outside line group is not available the system may be programmed to 
select an alternate outside line group.  The Optimized Routing package in ADIX-VS 
provides the following features: 
§ Eight routing plans 
§ Eight outside line group choices per routing plan 
§ Weekday, Saturday, Sunday, Holiday selection 
§ Three time periods per day 
§ Deletion and insertion of digits 
Paging 
ADIX-VS provides the following paging features: 
All Call 
Allows you to make an announcement either through the speakers in the Digital 
Telephones and/or an External Paging System.

camp-on calls, (tone) intercom calls and during busy override.  
						

							ADIX-VS System Features - 33  Power Failure Memory Backup  
In the event of a power failure, the system programming will be maintained for a 
period of two weeks by a rechargeable Ni-Cad battery.

system operation in the event of a power failure. 
Remote Call Forwarding 
Allows you to direct outside telephone line calls to ring at a remote location when 
you are not going to be in the office.  Some example locations are an answering 
service, a car telephone, or a home telephone. 
Remote Programming/Diagnostics 
A PC at a remote location may change the customer database through a dial-up 
connection.  The line used for remote programming may also be used as a regular 
outgoing line, and manually switched for modem use.  The remote programming 
package includes a diagnostic service for system maintenance and trouble shooting.   
SMDR 
Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) allows you to connect an RS232C 
compatible serial printer to ADIX-VS.  This printer will show all incoming and 
outgoing call activity.  The following information will be shown: 
§ Call number 001-999 
§ Date of the call 
§ Extension number that made/received the call 
§ Start time of the call 
§ Duration of the call 
§ Outside line number used for the call 
§ Number dialed for the call 
§ Account code number for the call 
§ Other notes for the call  
						

							ADIX-VS System Features - 34  System Clock 
ADIX-VS is equipped with a real time clock that provides an indication of the current 
time and duration of both incoming and outgoing calls on the LCD display of Iwatsu 
telephones.  The clock also has a perpetual calendar that eliminates the need to change 
the date.  Note: The ADIX-VS is Year 2000 compliant. 
System Speed Dial 
Up to 90 frequently dialed numbers may be programmed in the system for 
abbreviated dialing.  The numbers may or may not be restricted to certain extensions. 
Text Messaging 
The text messaging feature allows station users to send a 16-character text message to 
another system extension. There are two types of text messages, system text 
messages and personal text messages. A text message may be sent as either a busy 
bypass/no answer text message or as a stored text message. Busy bypass/no 
answer text messages appear on the recipient’s LCD immediately. Stored text 
messages do not appear on the display, but instead, light the recipient’s [TXT MSG] 
key. Stored text messages are saved in memory until the recipient manually displays 
them. 
Up to 90 system text messages and 10 personal text messages are available to each 
user. System text messages are accessible by all ADIX-VS station users. Personal 
busy bypass text messages are programmed by the individual station user and may 
only be accessed at the specific station set. 
Toll Restriction 
The ADIX-VS system provides flexible toll restriction of both area and office codes, 
as well as the subscriber number.  There are eight levels of restriction. 
Tone / Pulse Dialing 
Caller ID trunks may be programmed for either Touch Tone or Rotary dialing to 
accommodate your local telephone company central office. 
Trunk Interfaces 
ADIX-VS supports the following types of outside lines: 
§ Caller ID/Loop Start trunks  
						

							ADIX-VS System Features - 35  § ISDN BRI lines 
Uniform Call Distribution (UCD) 
Allows telephone lines to be directed to a group of telephones. Calls to the UCD 
group may search for an idle extension in either a Terminal or Distributed Hunting 
pattern.  In Terminal Hunting the incoming calls always start hunting from the first 
telephone in the group.  In Distributed Hunting, the incoming calls start hunting from 
the telephone following the last called telephone.  In both cases, calls will hunt to the 
next telephone if a telephone does not answer in a predefined period of time, is busy, 
and in Call Forward, Absence Message or Do Not Disturb mode. ADIX-VS also 
provides the ability to send unanswered calls to an overflow or secondary answering 
position after a predefined period of time.  This second answering position may be 
another UCD group, hunt group, extension, or attendant. 
Voice Mail/Automated Attendant Integration 
ADIX-VS can be equipped with an internal voice mail/automated attendant system 
when the optional VS-4VML card is utilized. ADIX-VS will allow you to transfer, 
forward and record calls to a mailbox and provides you with a unique voice mail 
message waiting indication.  ADIX-VS will also allow calls transferred from the 
automated attendant to be directed to messages other than the initial greeting if the 
desired party does not answer.
