  Requires a programmable button with lights; and programmed Auto Intercom buttons on the users telephone.
  
  Allows any PARTNER ACS ETR telephone, programmed with Auto Intercom buttons, to see which users have messages waiting in their mailbox.

• Network Clock Synchronization Deactivation (#128)
  Some network providers provide dial tone from different parts of the country (ex. Network provider located in Central Time Zone providing trunks to an end user located on the East coast). The time of day sent with the Caller ID information originates from the Central Time Zone, in turn, resetting the system time on the end users PARTNER ACS system to Central Time.
  
  PARTNER ACS R7.0.12.5 allows you to manually deactivate the Network Time Synchronization feature, so the system clock is not affected.
  
  
• Station Message Detail Immediate (SMDI)
  This provides built-in SMDI functionality. This previously required the need for the optional SMDI PC card. This card is needed for 3rd party API applications, such as Telcomp’s Pickups (screen pop).
  
  
• Caller ID to Analog Devices
  The application in this release passes Incoming Caller ID information to analog devices (wireless / cordless telephones; single line sets, Caller ID Display boxes, etc.) on incoming CO calls and intercom calls.
  
  
• Remote Software Upgrade
  PARTNER PC Administration supports remote software uploads to PARTNER ACS R8 systems. The software file (.bin file) is sent to the remote PARTNER ACS R8 system in the same manner as if you were uploading a translation file. A remote reboot command is required to finalize the process (again, in the same manner as we currently use for uploading a translation file). Note – this will only be available on the official ACS R8 release.
