Brief Synopsis of the much
anticipated new features of the
8.0
Hot Dialing
Basically this is a live dial
pad. You will no longer have to
pick up the receiver to dial.
You can simply make calls by
just dialing the numbers on the
keypad. No handset, no
speakerphone button. It will
grab a line and away you go.
Message Alert Notification
Neat little feature. It's
designed so that you can see who
ELSE has messages in THIER
voicemail boxes. Program a
button for the feature and when
pressed, the DSS/BLF buttons
will display a red light when
that associated user has a new
voicemail message waiting for
them. Press message alert again
to exit.
Extension Display Name
This will visually show you the
programmed name of a user at any
extension.
Network Clock Sync Deactivate
All this really does is allow
you to deactivate the sync clock
with caller id. If your provider
sends your phone calls from a
different time zone, the time
they send with the call can
reset the internal clock on the
processor.
SMDI - Station Message Detail
Immediate
They have now built the SMDI
function directly into the phone
system. You no longer need an
SMDI Card to use third party
API's such as Telcomps Pickup
(screen pops)

info to be passed to analog

ACS 8.0 phone system. A .bin
file can be uploaded and remote
reboot command will finalize the
upgrade.

18D and 34D telephones. This
release supports 6 canned Posted
Message plus 2 user customizable
messages. Simply press the
Posted Message button, and

display. When a Posted Message
is activated, it remains active
in the users display. When the
user is called via the intercom
(intercom ring only); the Posted
Message will be displayed on
their LCD display as well.
Posted Messaging - Inspect
Allows you to remotely inspect
the active Posted Message at
another extension. Press the
Posted Message button, then
press INSPECT. You are prompted
to press the Auto Intercom
button or dial the extension you
wish to view. When you do, the

extension to extension basis

which takes precedence -

R6 and R7 to R8 Translation
Conversion
The PARTNER ACS R8 will
automatically convert an ACS R6
or ACS R7 image file to be
compatible with the ACS R8
system; drastically reducing
administration and programming
time on system upgrades and
maintenance replacements. Users
simply plug in the PCMCIA card
that stores the ACS R6 or ACS R7
translation file; the file gets
upgraded to an ACS R8
translation; then do a system
restore.
