3.5 IMPLEMENTING THE OCTEL OVERTURE 200/300 ON PBXS
WITHOUT DIL FEATURE
You may encounter a PBX with an older feature package that does not provide the DIL feature. The
PBXs most frequently encountered without DIL are AT&T Dimension PBXs with Feature Packages (FP)
2, 3, 4, 5, and 7.
.
This feature on the Dimension is called DDC for Direct Department Calling. It is only available in
FP 8, 10, 12, and 15.
If the customer’s Dimension does not have FP8 or later or it is a phone system that does not have a DIL
feature, there are several alternatives for directing trunks to the Octel Overture 200/300 ports for answer:
- Upgrade the PBX to a feature package offering the DIL feature
- Use DID numbers
- Place the console in night mode
- Use call diverters to switch calls to the Octel Overture 200/300 ports
Not all these alternatives may be feasible for a given situation. The following discusses each in detail.
For each incoming trunk
to be answered by the
