Override
System Availability: All systems
Call Forward Override
Stations with this feature will not forward when they call stations that have System or Station Call
Forward activated. This applies when using the telephone dial pad or [DSS] button to make a call.
It also applies to [DSS] buttons on DSS consoles or add-on modules associated with the Call
Forward Overriding telephone.
Class Of Service Override
By dialing a Class of Service Override (COS) code, a user can change a station’s class of service to
one associated with the override code. When the call is terminated and another is attempted from
the same station, the original Class of Service is applied. This allows selected users to override toll
restriction or other restrictions that are placed on any telephone in the system.
Do Not Disturb (DND) Override
A privileged caller may invoke the DND Override feature after dialing an internal station and
receiving a DND indication. If that privilege is granted to the calling station and the called station
permits its DND to be overridden, the call will ring on that phone.
Executive Override
Stations with this feature allowed by COS can enter any conversation in the system by dialing a 3
or pressing a Feature Prompting Soft Key after dialing a busy station. An optional warning tone
notifies the parties that another party is about to conference into their conversation. Executive
Override can be blocked selectively to any station in system. Executive Override must be allowed
in system programming for the called and calling station.
The Do Not Disturb feature can also be used to block Executive Override; however, stations that
are allowed DND Override can use Executive Override on stations in the DND mode. The
Privacy button does not block Executive Override.
Privacy Override
Privacy override controls the ability of multiple station users with a shared (common) Line or
[DN] button appearance to join in each other’s conversation by pressing the busy button
appearance. A station must be programmed with Privacy Override to permit the intrusion on a
shared
Line or on [DN] buttons.
In the case where Privacy Override is normally allowed, a telephone can have a “Privacy” button
to block Privacy Override (intrusion) to the call. The Do Not Disturb feature does not block
Privacy Override. In the case where Privacy Override is not normally allowed, a telephone can
have a “Privacy Release” button to allow intrusion to the call by any station with the shared button
appearance. (See “Privacy” for more information.)
