Interactions for Privacy

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |

This section provides information about how the Privacy feature interacts with other features on the system. Use this information to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits of Privacy in any feature configuration.

Attendant Call Waiting and Call Waiting Termination

If Data Privacy is active, Call Waiting is denied.

Bridged Call Appearance - Single-Line Telephone

If you activate Data Privacy or assign Data Restriction to a station that is involved in a bridged call and the primary terminal or bridging user attempts to bridge onto the call, this action overrides Data Privacy and Data Restriction.

When Privacy-Manual Exclusion is active, the system restricts other users to bridge onto the active call.

Busy Verification

Busy Verification cannot be active when Data Privacy is active.

Call Coverage

When the principal user bridges onto a call that has gone to coverage, and the call is answered at the coverage pint, the system does not drop the principal user from the call when Privacy-Manual Exclusion is activated.

Call Pickup

The system does not drop the called party from the call in the following example:

  • A call is made to user A.

  • User B uses Call Pickup to answer the call.

  • User A bridges onto the call by going off-hook on its call appearance.

  • User B activates Privacy-Manual Exclusion.

Intercom - Automatic and Dial

An extension with Data Privacy or Data Restriction active cannot originate an intercom call. The user receives an intercept tone.

Music-on-Hold Access

If a user places a call with Data Privacy on hold, the user must withhold Music-on-Hold. This action prevents the transmission of tones that a connected data service might falsely interpret as a data transmission.

Priority Calls

If a user activates Data Privacy, Priority Calls are denied on analog telephones. However, the multiappearance telephones display Priority Calls on the next available line appearance.

Whisper Paging

If you administer Data Restriction for a telephone, a data terminal, or a trunk group, the system denies Whisper Paging.
