Multiline functions
Multiline operation is an optional feature of the 4400 system.
It means that you have more than one line on your extension.
Several of the programmable keys may be used as line keys,
to make and receive calls.
One option allows you to have more than one number which
may be used to call your extension. Alternatively, your
extension may have one number but several lines.
Whether your extension is programmed with one or a
combination of the above options, you are able to deal with
several calls at the same time.
Manager / Secretary Screening
One of the major features of multiline operation is manager /
secretary screening. Manager / secretary screening is the
specific configuration of at least two multiline extensions.
This feature allows a secretary to screen some or all of a
manager’s calls.
Manager / secretary screening may only be defined by your
system administrator. For further advice on how your
extension has been set up contact this person.
Using Multi-Lines
To hold a call:

Screening Keys
These keys allow you to use a screening feature on your
incoming calls. Each of the keys is linked to a list (or “table”)
of numbers.
Note: The screening tables are defined by the system
manager.
Screened
The SCREENED table allows only callers listed in the table to
directly call the Manager extension.
No Screen
The UNSCREENED table directs the callers listed in the table to
the Secretary extension. All other callers may call the
Manager extension directly.
Note: You may have several of each screening key, but you
may not activate a SCREENED and an UNSCREENED table
simultaneously.
The icons associated with the screen keys signal as follows:
• Feature activated
• Feature activated but
secretary
and overflow secretary absent.
(flashing)
When you activate or deactivate a screening key, to confirm
your action:
If the secretary is absent, screening is cancelled and the calls
are received directly at the Manager extension.

Exec Mail
This feature allows your secretary to send a short mail
message directly onto your display. A message may be sent
when your extension is free or when you are in conversation.
You do not need to be interrupted during a call and if your
extension is free, you do not need to lift the receiver.
The soft keys will allow you to send back a pre-programmed
message.
If you receive a message, the text of the message appears on
the top line of the display.
The bottom line offers you 5 possible replies:
• Busy
• Wait
• Absent
• Enter
• Back
The choice of replies will be taken from the following list:

Glossary
Associated extension
If your extension is linked to another extension on the system,
this extension is known as your associated extension.
Back and forth
If you have two calls in progress on your extension you may
‘shuttle’ between the two, talking to each one, without the
other being able to hear.
Broker Call
A function which allows you to hold two calls at once,
switching from one to the other.
Call parking
If you answer a call on someone else’s extension, you may
‘park’ the call, so that you may return to your own extension
and retrieve the call from there.
Call pick up
To answer a call that is ringing on another extension.
Call back
You may book a request for a busy or unanswered extension
to call you back.
Category of service
Each extension on the system is given its own class of service
(COS). Your COS determines the system features you are
allowed to use, and what types of outside calls you can make.
For example, you may be allowed to make any type of call,
including international, or you may be restricted to local calls
only.
Charge counters
The charging counters on your extension indicate the cost or
the number of units used during your last call, as well as the
total amount of time or units used since your counter was last
