In order words, when a household
member calls you, you will be reachable wherever you are in the
home, whether in your
bedroom or anywhere else, because your PCX extension phone in the
bedroom and all
the phones in the common areas of the household will all ring with
your ID distinctive ring pattern. When you are in your
bedroom and calls are made to other members of the household, your PCX extension phone will ignore those calls leaving you
undisturbed. No one ever needs to figure out where household mates
are around the home before calling them, and yet there is no risk
of disturbing non-intended parties with a call!
Assign same ID to Personal Extension
Phones!
Also note that
you may set more than one extension with your
own ID with the PCX jacks.
For instance, you may set both your bedroom phone and your home
office phone with the same ID. Any number of locations in the home
that are personally used by one only individual may be set with the same PCX
ID. Those extensions will only respond to calls that are directed to
that ID, keeping the individual's privacy at those locations
undisturbed on other calls.
Allow or Disallow All-Member Page by a PCX Extension
Normally, when wholehouse ring
paging to address all household members is desired in an
installation, users are generally advised to reserve ID6 from the
base system at such effect. When that is in effect, a PCX
extension may be set to allow these calls thru or disallow them. An internal
setup switch within the PCX module is toggled to
include or exclude
all-member address paging. So therefore, the way a PCX phone rings
also tells what type of call is coming in. When your PCX extension
rings with a pattern of 6 consecutive ring strokes (instead of 2
or 3, whatever your ID is) you know this is an all-member address
paging.
Restrict
Outgoing Calls
One more feature available from a
PCX module is the ability to restrict outgoing phone line calls
by
an extension. When that is set, the extension can only answer
incoming calls, either line calls or intercom calls. Very useful
for infants' bedrooms.
Restrict
Incoming Phone Line Calls and Doorphone Calls
A PCX extension may also be set to
take or exclude doorphone calls. It
may equally be set independently to take or
exclude incoming phone line calls. This is all done with the flip of a switch
inside the PCX module.
Multiple
Intercom Calling Modes
A PCX jack
conveniently offers the option of Off-Hook
calling mode on intercom calls as opposed to
On-Hook calling mode, which is the standard mode. Optionally,
with a PCX extension the user may simply pickup the earpiece (or
hit the speaker button), dial the desired peer's ID and then hit
the [Flash] key in order to follow thru the progress of the call
while holding the earpiece (or staying on speakerphone).
Seamless
Control for Answering Machines & Fax Machines
A PCX module allows any
answering machine or any fax machine to be effectively used in a
distinctive ring pattern environment, for the purpose of call
transfer toward voice message recording or fax reception. That PCX jack need
not take up an ID out of the 6 available but will simply share one
of the identities in a seamless fashion.
PCX
Extensions and Caller ID
PCX jacks remain
completely transparent to caller ID
information from incoming phone calls. All extensions set to
receive phone calls will also receive caller ID info arriving with
those calls. You will so enjoy specific phone-to-phone calling
like in a PBX phone system but without precluding display of
caller ID info on your extension phones.
Yes, PCX opens up a whole new and unique
way of communicating in the household!
