This software enhancement makes

possible for a station user to make a secure off-hook voice

announcement (SOHVA) to a station that he or she is currently service observing.

Although a

programmer can disable the SOHVA feature when necessary, every DigiTech telephone can
send and receive SOHVA calls as a system default, he or she must enable the service observe

feature before a user can make use of it.

The system provides a group of distinctive tones for station ringing. A station user can choose a
tone from this group to provide a distinctive ring at his or her telephone. Often when several
telephones are located close to each other, each user chooses a different personal ring tone.

Previous software provided four different tone choices. This software enhancement increases the

distinctive ring choices to six. The personal ring tone choices now provided include the following
distinctive tones:

Hz 16 Hz warble

23 Hz warble

Hz 16 Hz warble

Hz 23 Hz warble

In the past, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has required that telephone system

manufacturers provide a hardware strap that installers could move to distinguish between hybrid
system and key system operation. The DigiTech system provided this strap at either the
station connector or at a special terminal strip (depending upon the system model). The installer
strapped two terminals together at either the

station connector block or at the special

terminal strip to select the hybrid mode. Recent rulings by the FCC have eliminated the need for
the hardware strap.

With

this software release, whenever

The hybrid system mode

may still incur a higher monthly tariff to the

company; therefore, the FCC still requires

that the installer report the equipment-type category designation number (KF for key system, MF
for hybrid system) to the telephone company at the time of installation.

Prior to this software release, a station user could only camp on to a station that was busy on the
intercom line. With this software release 11 a, a user can also camp on to a station after calling
on the intercom line and receiving no answer.

With the release of

the

revision I models, Comdial has enhanced the design of the DigiTech

telephones. These enhanced telephones require changes to the system software that this

release provides.

All revision I DigiTech Telephones provide red, orange, and green light emitting diodes

in use or on hold at a station. An orange LED indicates a ringing line thus distinguishing between
lines that are on hold and a line that is ringing. Additionally, all revision I DigiTech telephones

provide pushbutton volume control on their front panels and a group listening feature.

interactive buttons that provide quick easy access to system features and

It also includes an auxiliary jack on the rear panel where the

installer or the user can connect devices such as headsets, tape recorders, external ringers and
