Functions
65
Hands-free Full Duplex

• Echo-cancellation function
• Allows two-way, hands-free full duplex
  conversation
• Ambient Noise Measurement
• Automatically measures the ambient noise level of
  the station and sets the station for proper
  hands-free conversation.
• Occurs automatically on power-up
• Manual activation (N-8500MS only)

66
Conversation

• Hands-free conversation
• Permits conversations to be made without lifting
  the handset when another party is called or when
  a call is received in automatic connection mode.
• Handset conversation
• Calls can be made or received by lifting the
  handset.
• PTT conversation
• Pressing the Push-to-talk key during a hands-free
  conversation enables one-way conversation from
  the party who pressed the Push-to-talk key.
  Conversation flow is reversed when the key is
  released. This function makes announcements and
  conversations possible to areas with a high
  ambient noise level.

67
Call

• Individual call
• The desired party can be called by dialing its
  station number.
• Redialing
• Pressing the Redial key automatically redials the
  last number called. Only the N-8000MS/8500MS
  permits selection from the most recent 10
  numbers.
• Recall
• The last conversation partner can be recalled by
  pressing the / key regardless of whether the
  call was made or received. Only the
  N-8000MS/8500MS permits selection from the most
  recent 10 numbers.

68
Call

• Voice calling
• Holding down the Push-to-talk key while making a
  call by means of a continuous call tone permits a
  voice calling to be made to the called station.
  The voice calling reverts to the original
  continuous tone call when the Push-to-talk key is
  released.
• Group call
• When a station is assigned to a call group, if
  the station is called, all stations within that
  group are simultaneously called by a continuous
  call tone regardless of their call connection
  mode settings. If any one of the stations within
  the group responds, calls to the other stations
  stop.
• Master station call
• The pre-programmed master station can be called
  by pressing the door station's call button.

69
Incoming Call Selection

• Automatic connection
• Incoming calls are automatically connected after
  a brief call tone (1 second) or without a call
  tone.
• Continuous call
• Calls continue with a continuous call tone (or
  without a call tone) and a status indicator
  continuously flashes as long as no response is
  made.

70
Speed Dialing

• Auto-dialing (N-8000MS / N-8500MS only)
• The dial operation (up to 20-digit numbers)
  programmed into the station's auto dialer can be
  performed by one-touch dialing.
• One-touch dialing
• The dial operation (up to 20-digit numbers)
  programmed into the station's 7, 8, 9, 0
  or off-hook keys can be called by one-touch
  dialing.

71
Hold

• Mic-Off
• When it is desirable to hold the line during a
  conversation, if any dialing key (0 9) is
  pressed, the microphone is disabled as long as
  the key is pressed.
• Call Hold
• Pressing the Hold key during a conversation
  places the conversation on hold, transmitting a
  hold tone to both parties. If the Hold key is
  pressed again, the hold mode is cancelled, and
  the original conversation is restored.

72
Call Transfer

• Current conversations can be placed on hold to
  call a third party by pressing the Transfer key.
• The original conversation can be subsequently
  restored or transferred to the third party after
  conclusion of the second call.

73
Automatic Transfer

• Group Hunting
• Calls to a busy station are automatically
  transferred to another designated station, if
  group hunting function is set to the called
  station.
• Absence Transfer
• When no response is made to a call for a set
  period of time, the call is automatically
  transferred to another designated station.
• Call Forwarding
• Calls to stations are automatically transferred
  to another designated station without sounding a
  call tone. Two types
• Manual call forwarding
• Time-based call forwarding

74
Other Functions

• Remote Response
• Calls to a station can be answered by pressing
  the Push-to-talk key of another station, provided
  both stations are assigned to the same group.
• Executive Priority
• If a called station is busy, as indicated by a
  busy tone, pressing the 9 key transmits a short
  priority call tone, then forcibly terminates the
  current conversation, allowing the call to go
  through. Access to priority call operation or
  refusal of priority calls can be set individually
  for each station.

75
Other Functions

• Scan Monitor
• The station can scan an arbitrary group of
  preprogrammed stations for auditory monitoring.
• Door Remote Control
• Door station's contact output can be used to
  remotely control external equipment such as
  electronic lock.
• The contact output terminals can be shorted for a
  set period of time by the dial operation to
  perform this function from the master station
  engaged in conversation with the door station.

76
Other Functions

• Time-Out
• The duration of calls, conversations and paging
  can be limited by pre-programming time intervals
  (10 990 seconds) for individual exchanges,
  Multi-interface units or IP stations.
• Group Blocking
• Arbitrary station groups (up to 31 groups) can be
  set to permit or disallow calls between groups.
• Station Speaker Output Setting
• Permits adjustment of the station speaker sound
  volume.

77
Station and PA Zone Paging
78
Paging

• Zone Paging
• Calls can be made to one of the pre-programmed
  zones.
• Multiple Zone Paging
• Calls can be made to up to 10 zones of the
  preprogrammed multiple zones.
• All Call Paging
• Calls can be made simultaneously to all of the
  preprogrammed zones.

79
Station and PA Zone Paging

• Program Up to 160 zones!
• Simultaneous paging to up to 16 zones (unicast)
• Simultaneous paging to up to 79 zones (multicast)

80
Paging Response

• Automatic Response
• Dialing the Paging Response key automatically
  initiates a response to the paging last received.
  
• Zone Number Designation Paging
• Dialing the number assigned to paging response
  automatically initiates a response to a
  next-to-last paging.

81
Paging Unicast vs. Multicast
Unicast can occupy much more network bandwidth
than multicast!
