System-wide settings
There are some settings that you enable or disable for the entire system, and these 
settings effect every user. You may want to look over the various System 
Parameters screens and decide which settings best meet the needs of your users. 
To see a list of the different types of parameters that control your system, type 
display system-parameters and press HELP. You can change some of these 
parameters yourself. Type 
change system-parameters and press HELP to see 
which types of parameters you can change. In some cases, a Lucent representative 
is the only person who can make changes, such as to the System Parameters 
Customer-Options screen. 
This chapter offers a few examples of how you establish these system-wide 
settings. The Screen reference
 contains explanations of each of the system 
parameters screens, and how to use them.

38 Changing feature parameters 
2
Changing feature parameters
You can modify the system parameters that are associated with some of the system 
features. For example, you can use the system parameters to allow music to play if 
callers are on hold or to allow trunk-to-trunk transfers on the system.
Generally, Lucent sets your system parameters when your system is installed. 
However, you can change these parameters as your organization’s needs change. 
For example, let’s say that you are told that the number of rings between each 
point for new coverage paths should change from 4 to 2 rings.
To change the number of rings:
1. Type
 change system-parameters coverage/forwarding and press 
RETURN.
The System Parameters Call Coverage / Call Forwarding
 screen appears.
2. In the Local Coverage Subsequent Redirection/CFWD No Answer Interval 
field, type 
2.
3. Press ENTER to save your changes.
Each phone in a Call Coverage path now rings twice before the call routes 
to the next coverage point. The Local Cvg Subsequent Redirection/CFWD 
No Ans Interval field also controls the number of rings before the call is 
forwarded when you use Call Forwarding for busy/don’t answer calls. This 
applies only to calls covered or forwarded to local extensions. Use Off-Net 
to set the number of rings for calls forwarded to public network extensions. 
                                                                 Page 1 of 2

39 Administering treatment for denied calls 
2
Administering treatment for denied 
calls
You can administer your system to reroute denied calls to an announcement, the 
attendant, or to another extension. Intercept Treatment provides an intercept tone 
or a recorded announcement or routes the call to an attendant for assistance when 
calls cannot be completed or when use of a feature is denied.
Instructions
In this example, we want all outward restricted call attempts to route to an 
announcement, and incoming calls that are denied to route to the attendant. 
1. Add an announcement on extension 2040, and name the announcement 
Intercept Denied Calls. 
Refer to ‘‘
Adding announcement extensions’’ on page 381 and ‘‘Recording 
announcements’’ on page 382 for more information. 
2. Type 
change system-parameters features and press RETURN.
The Feature-Related System Parameters screen appears. 
3. In the Controlled Outward Restriction Intercept Treatment field, type 
announcement. 
Another blank field appears.
4. In this blank field, type 
2020.
This is the extension of the Intercept Denied Calls announcement you 
recorded earlier. 
5. In the DID/Tie/ISDN Intercept Treatment field, type 
attd. 
This will allow the attendant to handle incoming calls that have been 
denied. 
6. Press 
ENTER to save your changes.

40 Setting up Music-on-Hold 
2
Setting up Music-on-Hold
Music-on-Hold automatically provides music to a caller placed on hold. Providing 
music lets the caller know that the connection is still active. The system does not 
provide music to callers in a multiple-party connection who are in queue, on hold, 
or parked.
Before you start 
You need to determine the music source you will use, and obtain the necessary 
circuit pack. Refer to DEFINITY ECS System Description for more information 
about required hardware. 
NOTE:
If you use equipment that rebroadcasts music or other copyrighted materials, 
you may be required to obtain a copyright license from or pay fees to a third 
party such as the American Society of Composers, Artists, and Producers 
(ASCAP) or Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI).
Instructions 
In this example, we administer the system to allow local callers and incoming 
trunk callers to hear music while on hold. Note that if you use Tenant Partitioning, 
you cannot set up Music on Hold this way. See ‘‘
Providing service for multiple 
tenants’’ on page 41 for more information. 
1. Type 
change system-parameters features and press RETURN.
The Feature-Related System Parameters
 screen appears.

The Port field appears. 
3. In the Port field, type
 6040.
This is the port address of the music source. 
4. In the Music (or Silence) on Transferred Trunk Calls, type 
all.
5. Press 
ENTER to save your changes. 
6. Now administer a class of restriction with Hear System Music on Hold set 
to 
y, to allow your local users to hear music on hold.
More information 
If a call with either Data Privacy or Data Restriction activated is placed on hold, 
the Music/Tone on Hold is withheld. This is to prevent transmission of a musical 
tone that a connected data service might falsely interpret as a data transmission.
If you administer the Music/Tone on Hold field to provide music, the system 
provides the music after a hunt group or ACD split delayed announcement.
Providing service for multiple 
tenants
If you manage the switching system for an entire office building, you may need to 
provide individualized phone service for each of the firms who are tenants. You 
can set up your system so that each tenant can have its own attendant, and can 
chose to have music or play special announcements while callers are on hold. 
Before you start
Before you can administer tenants in your system, Tenant Partitioning must be 
enabled on the System Parameters Customer-Options
 screen. To allow tenants to 
select their own Music on Hold, you must purchase and administer equipment. 
Refer to DEFINITY ECS System Description for more information about required 
hardware. Your Lucent Technologies representative can help you administer this 
hardware.

Receiving notification in an 
emergency
If one of your users calls an emergency service such as the police or ambulance, 
someone, perhaps the receptionist, security or the front desk, needs to know who 
made the call. Thus, when the emergency personnel arrive, they can be directed to 
the right place. 
You can set up the switch to alert the attendant and up to ten other extensions 
whenever an end-user dials an emergency number. The display on the notified 
user’s phone shows the name and number of the person who placed the 
emergency call. The phones also ring with a siren-type alarm, which users must 
acknowledge to cancel. 
Before you start
Decide if you want one user to be able to acknowledge an alert, or if all users must 
respond before an alert is cancelled. 
Verify that ARS is enabled on the System Parameters Customer-Options
 screen. 
Make sure that the phones you want to notify are digital and have a display. Refer 
to ‘‘
Phone reference’’ on page 1075 for a list of phone types.

More information
Attendants cancel an alert by pressing the crisis alert button three times. The first 
button push turns off the siren, the second stops the lamp from flashing, and the 
third clears the display. 
Digital phone users cancel the siren by pushing the crisis alert button. If you have 
set the system so that only one user needs to respond, this stops the alerting at all 
phones. If all users must respond, each phone continues to alert until that user 
presses the crisis alert button to acknowledge the alarm. The emergency caller’s 
name and extension remain on the display at this point. To completely cancel an 
alert and clear their displays, users press the Normal button. 
Once you administer Crisis Alert, the switch still records each emergency call and 
sends a record to the journal printer, if available. If not, you can view the 
emergency log with the command 
list emergency.
