Holding
Hold options
Depending on how your 400A is programmed, you can
hold calls in up to three different ways. In most cases, you
should use the soft park key or a hold loop to hold calls
because the key uses a CAP. A description of
each of the different methods follows:
Note:
Soft park and hold loop keys can only be
assigned by your system administrator. If you do
not have these features programmed on your
phone, contact your system administrator.
Hold Option
Description
Soft park
You can use the soft park key to
place up to 10 calls on hold. The
held calls do not occupy a CAP.
Calls are automatically retrieved in
first-in/first-out order, so the first
call placed in soft park hold is the
first call retrieved. Although soft
park is often used to hold single
calls, hold loops are preferred.
Hold loops (from
one to eight)
Hold loops are used to hold a single
call. The held call does not occupy a
CAP. A single hold loop key
represents a single call. Your system
administrator must assign this
feature to an autodial key for you.

calls using
switch hook-
flash
The switch hook flash (SHF)-to-a-trunk feature lets you
use business/telephone features provided by your central
office. These services supplement the features provided by
your HCX5000 system. Using the central office features
prevents tying up two HCX5000 trunks.
Operation
To use this feature you must be talking on an incoming call
from a central office phone, and the trunk over which this
call is received must be set up to use the SHF-to-a trunk
feature. (Ask you system administrator if your system is
set up for this feature).
Example
You receive a call over a trunk that is set up for the switch
hook-flash-to-a-trunk feature. The call is from Mr. Smith,
whose phone is a central office station and who wants to
make a reservation. You must transfer the call to the
centralized reservation service for your hotel.

by someone other than the attendant such as another
station or voice message system. Therefore, users who do
not have SelecSet 400s (which have a soft
key) should use the return feature access code (usually #0)
to respond to their message lamps.

COVERAGE
HCXTD830, Rev. A01, July 2001
2-7
Coverage
About
coverage
Coverage enables users to redirect calls that come to their
station. Depending on the type of coverage used, calls can
be redirected automatically or only when the called station
is busy or does not answer.
Controlling
cover busy/no
answer
You can control the cover busy/no answer setting for calls
from outside the facility through your attendant console.
However, the covering point registered from the attendant
can only be an inside number. All other types of coverage
(including cover busy/no answer for outside calls going to
an outside number) can only be programmed at the user's
station.
Registering
CBNA for
outside calls to
an inside
number
Cover busy/no answer for outside calls going to an inside
number can be registered either from a station or from
your SelecSet 400A. Neither station nor attendant
registration has priority. Therefore, the most recently
registered cover busy/no answer setting for outside calls to
inside numbers is the active one.

CREDIT LIMIT
HCXTD830, Rev. A01, July 2001
2-11
Credit Limit
Controlling
credit limit
As the attendant you can control credit limit on a
per-station basis to regulate calling privileges for
cash-paying customers. Your facility can choose from
three versions of the credit limit feature. See Table 2-2 for
a summary of each type.
The credit limit feature is only appropriate when it is
appropriate to disconnect or disallow calls as a result of a
user’s account balance. Ask your system administrator
what type of credit limit your facility uses.
Table 2-2 Credit limit feature
This feature...
Does this...
Trunk disconnect
limits all calls from a credit-limit
station to a certain duration. Any
call that exceeds that duration is
automatically disconnected. This
method is appropriate in highly
restrictive environments such as
prisons or businesses that want to
limit usage on certain phones.
Lookahead credit
pre-calculates a charge and
maximum call duration for each call
type. Calls are automatically
disconnected when the current credit
value is exhausted. A warning tone
is sent to the caller 60 seconds
before a call is disconnected.
Positive value
prohibits the station from beginning
a call if the credit value is below
zero, but never disconnects a call.

designated time.
Terminology
Wakeup and reminder are different terms for the same
feature. The term wakeup is used for WelCOMM
(hotel/motel) systems, while reminder is used for
COMMerce (business) systems.
In the displays and instructions in this section, wakeup is
used for example only. If you have a COMMerce system,
you see reminder in the display instead of wakeup.
Second
wakeups
In WelCOMM systems, you can register two wakeup calls
for each station. A second wakeup may be required when
there are two guests in one room, or when one guest wants
a second wakeup just in case he or she falls back asleep
after the first. For instructions on registering a second
wakeup call, see “To register a second wakeup call:”
on page 2-26.
Note:
You can control wakeup/reminder calls while
your console is idle or while you are talking.

Displaying and Providing a VIP Wakeup
About VIP
wakeups
If you work in a hotel/motel environment, your SelecSet
400A attendant console may be equipped with a VIP
wakeup programmable option key, which enables you to
provide VIP guests with preferential wake-up service.
When a wake-up call for a VIP guest is to occur, the
telephone system sends a burst ring to the VIP wake-up
key on your console if the phone is not already ringing,
alerting you to a personalized wake-up call.
Procedure
To provide a guest with a VIP wakeup, follow these steps:
1
You hear a burst of ringing at your VIP programmable
option key and the associated lamp flashes. Press
and then to display the room number,
name, VIP status and language preference of the first
VIP guest in the queue and the total number of VIP
wakeups in the queue.
Note:
If you do not have a programmable option key
set up for VIP wakeup, your wakeup alarm lamp
lights.
2
Check the language indicator at the bottom right of
your display to see if you need to speak to the guest in
another language.

Procedure,
continued
3
Press the key. The system automatically places
a call to the VIP guest’s room while indicating the
guest’s room, name and language preference on the
display, based on how your telephone system is set up
to display language preference.
23 = VIP key number
22201 = guest’s room number
DUNN CAROLYN = guest’s name
FR = language preference
02 = number of wakeup calls in your queue
4
When the guest answers the wakeup, provide a
spoken wakeup message.
If the guest does not answer the call before you hang
up (or if you do not respond to the burst ring at your
VIP key within a certain time, or disconnect from the
wakeup call before the guest answers), depending on
how your telephone system is set up, one of two
events takes place:
- An alarm is sent immediately to your wakeup alarm
key, which lights OR
- The wakeup retries as a regular wakeup call three
times and then goes to your wakeup alarm key. See
“Receiving a Wakeup/Reminder Call Alarm”
on page 2-40 for more information on
wakeup/reminder call alarms.
Note:
If you call the VIP guest’s room directly without
using the VIP key, you must manually cancel the
wakeup. See “Canceling a Wakeup/Reminder
Call” on page 2-25
