T207M, T208M, T207M/NP, T208M/BL User Guide
CO Trunk Number
(Incoming)
The number that is dialed by an outside telephone user from the public network (through
the Central Office) in order to call into the Coral system for an internal station. (Number
listed in the local telephone directory).
Database
The memory in which the ‘flexible database system information’ is stored. Programming
the database is usually carried out during installation, however, it is field- or remotely-
modifiable.
Dial
For the purpose of this guide “Dial” means entering the relevant digits by pressing the
number on the Dial Pad (Keypad) that operates a feature or sends a call to a destination.
Dial also means pressing a key programmed with the feature or destination (DSS).
Disconnect
You may disconnect from an ongoing call by either pressing the Speaker key or by
manually replacing the handset onto its cradle (i.e. hang up).
Direct Station
Selection (DSS)
Permits you to make or transfer a call to an extension by using a defined key. DSS can
also be used on all accessible system ports. Instead of dialing a number this can be
done by pressing the programmed key. Also provides busy lamp field for programmed
stations.
ELA Group
ELA Group is a number of stations (up to 32) operating together in which the individual
stations share a common line appearance. When an ELA-defined line key flashes, it
flashes at all the member stations. Any member may answer the call by pressing the
flashing line key. If the ELA call is put on hold, the line key flashes at all the member
stations and any member (provided the privacy feature is not activated) may break-in to
the call by pressing the flashing line key. To place a call, a member may press any
available line key; the line key remains lit at all member stations for the duration of the
call.
Extension
Each Coral internal telephone is called a station or an extension.
