4. Particular Functions for Selected Stations

4.1. Priority Calls

The system has two ways of assigning priority features.
1. Each station is assigned a priority level (4 levels). Calls will behave differently according to
the priority setting of the calling station.
2. There are a number of Priority features that are included in the feature list and can be
assigned to stations by Class of Service (please consult the tecnical manual - Access
Restrictions ).

4.2. Station Priority

The table shows how the priority setting decides the station behavior:

Priority Low Medium High Alarm

Action
Call to an idle, Rings Connects Connects Connects
open station
Call to a station Rings Rings Connects Connects
with Privacy
Call to a busy Busy tone Busy tone Busy tone Connects
station

4.3. Priority Features

These features are assigned to a station by using the Class of Service programming. By default
no station has Access to these features.

PRIVACY Override
- Press the M-key or dial 59 to break through to a station with Privacy

Busy Notify
When the station you call is busy:
- Press the M-key or dial 57 to send an attention tone to the busy station.
(A display station at the other end will show who is trying to call.)

Busy Override
- Press the M-key twice (quickly) or dialing 58 to disconnects an ongoing conversation and
puts you through.

5.3. Manual Interface to SATCOM, Shoreline, Cellular or Radio Systems
by use of the VMP-121-2 Manual Interface Unit
The manual interface unit VMP-121-2 has no dialing facilities. Dialing out of the vessel or
receiving an external call must be done by use of a standard telephone set (not an ACM system
station)
To cover the internal communication the manual interface unit must always operate together
with an ordinary ACM system station acting as a switch-board, transfering the call to wanted
subscriber number. This switch-board station will be occupied during the conversation
