Dial Dictation 3
You can use a dictation unit as either a system or extension adjunct. Some
dictation units connect directly to the control unit via a T/R jack on the 012, 016
(Release 4.0 and later) module or 008 OPT module, or to a telephone using an
MFM or a GPA. Other dictation units connect to a PagePal unit that in turn
connects to a loop-start port programmed for dial dictation (similar to loudspeaker
paging).
Fax Machines 3
Most industry-standard fax machines work with the system. You can connect a fax
machine to the control unit via a T/R jack on the 012 or 016 (Release 4.0 and
later) T/R module or to an MFM. Using a fax machine with a GPA is not
recommended because the fax machine cannot dial through the GPA. You can
use a fax machine as an MLX telephone adjunct if you use it with an MFM.
A fax machine originates and receives fax calls independently of any associated
telephone. You can dial calls from the fax machine’s dialpad or from an associated
single-line telephone.
If the system does not have DID trunks, you should program fax extensions to
personal lines. When the system has DID service, it can direct incoming calls
automatically to individual fax extensions or to machines in calling groups.
Delay Announcements 3
Use up to 10 primary delay announcement devices and one secondary device
(Release 5.0 and later systems only) to cover incoming calls that wait for an
available calling group member (see
“Group Features” on page 4–53 for more
information about calling groups). To make announcements, use industry-
standard announcement devices, which must have disconnect and
announcement features. The devices connect directly to an extension jack on a
012, 016 (Release 4.0 and later), or 008 OPT module. Alternatively, an
announcement device can connect to an MLX telephone equipped with an MFM
or to an analog multiline telephone with a GPA.
Door Phone 3
The Lucent Technologies Door Phone enables you to speak directly

over the
telephone

with people outside your locked business door. When a visitor
presses the button on the Door Phone Speaker, it rings a predesignated
extension or activates an alert device. You can then speak to the person by using
the predesignated phone. Use system programming to designate which phone
rings. The Door Phone controller unit connects to a 408 or 800 line/trunk jack.
