Direct Station Select/Busy Lamp Field Buttons Expansion Unit.
Each DSS/BLF button indicates the status of another extension within your facility or anywhere within a network of interconnected TC6 systems.
Speed Dial/Transfer Target Buttons
As is the case with most phones, you can create a single touch or speed dial button that dials any external or internal phone number—or speaker, for that matter.
(A speed dial button programmed to dial an internal extension is called a DSS/BLF button. Not only does it allow you to onetouch dial an internal extension, but it reveals the status of that line as well—and facilitates internal transfers.)
The Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Phone is the main communications tool in the Telecenter VI (TC6) system—an integrated system that supports Phone, Intercom, Call-In, Paging, Audio Program Distribution, Class Bell, and many other school communication functions. The VoIP Phone is typically used on a daily basis by Principals, Office Staff, Nursing Staff, Security Staff, and the like.
Because classroom users will likely require access to a more basic phone of TC6 features, classrooms are typically equipped with a more basic—though fully functional—Single Line Phone. Among other things, the VoIP Phone allows users to:
- Answer call-ins in or out of sequence (locally and/or remotely)
- Scroll through active call-ins
- Place intercom calls (to Classroom Speakers)
- Transfer calls from Intercom Speakers to Phones
- Override active intercom communication during emergencies
- Place or answer internal or external phone calls
- Send Page Announcements to all or select Zones
- Distribute Audio Program to all or select Zones, rooms, and/or phone extensions.
- Distribute Tones to all or select Zones
- Exclude speakers from receiving Program Distribution or Zone Pages
- Select from predefined Bell Schedules and System Profiles
- Engage automatic call-back when the intercom channel is busy
- Access password-protected features
Options and access to these features will vary from facility to facility. Consult your system supervisor or installer for further details.
