Abbreviated Dialing

To place a priority call to an extension on an abbreviated dial list, the user must use a button to which both the Feature Access Code (FAC) for Priority Calling and Abbreviated Dialing are assigned.

Call Coverage

The system redirects a call to coverage if the user activates Go to Cover for the call. When the call goes to coverage, the call remains a priority call. The covering user hears the priority call ringing pattern.

Call Forwarding All Calls

The system forwards priority calls, except callback calls. When the system forwards a call, the call remains a priority call.

Call Vectoring

The system generates intercept tone when someone attempts to activate Priority Calling toward a vector directory number (VDN).

Call Waiting

A priority call waits on an active single-line telephone, even if Call Waiting is not assigned to the telephone. The user with an active, single-line telephone who receives the call, hears the distinctive priority Call Waiting tone.

Consult

A Consult call acts as a priority call and waits at a single-line telephone, even if the telephone does not have Call Waiting Indication assigned.

Distributed Communications System (DCS)

With a DCS tandem call to a single-line telephone, the called party does not receive priority ringing, if the caller presses the priority button to activate Priority Calling.

Last Number Dialed

A user must use the Last Number Dialed button to place a priority call to the last number dialed. The Last Number Dialed FAC is invalid after a user activates Priority Calling.

You can administer single-line telephones, for example, 2500-series telephones, so that the system does not provide distinctive ringing. If you administer single-line telephones in this way, the system provides one-burst ringing for priority calls.
