Directory & Features (AlphaPro)

The Directory and Features table contains the directory numbers for all stations and all features in the system.

From this menu one can modify a directory number, and add new directory numbers. A directory number can contain anything from 1 to 8 digits. If masking occurs, you will be warned (e.g. if you enter number 10, it will mask all numbers 100- 109, or 1000 to 1099).

Digits During Conversation: These are features that can be activated during a conversation, such as "6" for Door Opening or "2" to put a call On Hold.

The Directory & Features window

Feature	Reflects the highlighted feature in the listbox. If you press the "Insert" key you will get access to a drop-down list where all features with feature number are listed.
ID	The Individ number is an identifier used when there are several directory numbers for the same feature, for example program distribution where the feature number is 5 for all programs. The individ number tells which program it is (1 - 38). If, for example, you create a new program directory number, the individ number is automatically stepped up.
Directory Number	Enter the desired directory number. Consult the number plan for the exchange. If the new number is already in use, or will mask other numbers, you will get a warning.
Display Text	The display has space for 16 characters. The directory number + space is automatically added to the display text entered. This means that with a 4-digit directory number, only 11 characters are available for the text.
Hide in Station Display	When the option is activated: For all station directory numbers (except Call Requests): The station name and number are not included in the directory lists for the stations. For Call Requests: In the called station the directory number for the calling station is shown, but the station name is “hidden” and the display text for the feature is shown. For example, this is used to distinguish between different Call Request numbers: Lift Call, Cell Call, Door Call, etc.
When COS NOT OK, Give Axess to Group	Is used to give a group of stations access to features that are not included in the stations’ default Class of service.
When COS OK, No Calls From Group	Is used to restrict a group of stations access to features even if the feature is included in the stations’ Class of service.
