TURE
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 of
fering 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.
