Omnipcx 4400
Your REFLEXESÔ terminal and your Alcatel OmniPCXÔ 4400 system provide
you with everything you need from a telephone system.
The availability of some of the features described in this guide depends upon
your system configuration. For more information regarding your system
configuration, contact your telephone system manager.
Station information
(1) Your terminal allows on-hook dialing; this means you can dial a call even before
you pick up the handset.
(2) Your terminal can be set up as a multi-line station (two or more line keys) or as a
single line station (integrated line service with no line keys). This user guide is designed
for multi-line station users. For information on single line service configurations, contact
your system vendor.
If you select the upper line, indicators will flash (at the left end and right end of the line)
to indicate that the line is active. If you press a display key (or wait a few seconds),
the lower line automatically becomes active again.

Twin-set configuration
This configuration allows two terminals to operate under a single number. Your desk
terminal is typically the main terminal, while another (usually a PWT terminal), is the
secondary. Each telephone has its own system station number, but the twin-set
number is that of the main terminal.
In the twin-set configuration, a call to the twin-set number rings at both terminals
simultaneously. When either terminal takes the call, the other stops ringing. When
all the lines of the main terminal are busy, the secondary terminal does not ring.
The secondary terminal can always be called at its own number, bypassing the
twin-set feature.

forwarding, call-backs, messages, etc.) are canceled on both terminals.
