Feature Description
Extension-to-Outside (CO)
Line Call Duration
When a call between an extension user and an outside party is
established, the call duration is restricted by a timer ( Extension-to-CO
Line Call Duration [212]). Both parties will hear a warning tone at 5-
second intervals 15 seconds before the timer expires. When the timer
expires, the call is disconnected. System programming determines which
extensions have calls limited by this feature (

Limitation [613]). This timer applies to outside (CO) line calls that are
made via the PBX.
Outside-to-Outside (CO-to-
CO) Line Call Duration

restricted by a timer ( CO-to-CO Line Call Duration [205]). Both parties
will hear a warning tone 15 seconds before the timer expires. When the
timer expires, the call is disconnected.
