Add-Ons
Auto System Answer (ASA)/Direct Extension Dialing (DXD) These two features are available together on an optional PCMCIA card. DXD permits outside callers to call the PARTNER® Advanced Communications System and dial an extension number or extension hunt group, without a receptionist. Callers hear a customer-recorded message of up to 40 seconds in length prompting them to enter an extension number. DXD can answer up to 3 calls simultaneously on those lines programmed for the feature. ASA provides new solutions for customers with inbound call routing needs. ASA answers incoming calls and plays a recorded message. After the message is played, ASA can be programmed to: put callers on hold; disconnect them; or alert all stations.

Symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) Interface Card
The 1600 DSL module allows PARTNER® Advanced Communications System to support SDSL service, enabling advanced voice and data features such as: direct connection to a corporate LAN/WAN or data network; Voice over DSL (VoDSL) service; high-speed access to the Internet, intranet, or extranet; and high-speed uploads and downloads (up to 2 Mbps).

Accessories
Contact closure devices The contact closure adjunct plugs into the contact closure jack on the PARTNER® Advanced Communications System module. The adjunct supports up to 2 customer installable devices from a user's extension—for example, an electronic door lock.

Doorphone
Doorphones are used to provide security at unmanned entrances to your business. When a user presses a doorphone button, designated extensions are alerted. Two-way conversation is possible between a user at a doorphone extension and the person waiting at the door. The door can be opened remotely if a contact closure device is installed.

Message-On-Hold System
A digital playback device can be used to record music, information, or advertisements that can be played to callers on hold.

Paging equipment
Allows you to broadcast a message over a large area. Paging equipment includes controllers, microphones, amplifiers, speakers, and wiring.

Other
Alerting devices help make users aware of incoming calls. For example, you can use an audible alert (chime, horn, or bell) in a noisy area like a factory. Cordless phones provide mobility within the office. Headsets allow users to conduct hands-free conversations. Speakerphones provide hands-free, two-way conversations without lifting the handset. Fax machines can be connected to the Partner ACS via a standard tip/ring port or a line port. Answering devices can be connected to the Partner ACS ensuring that you never miss a call when you're not available.
