## Limitations

Extensions equipped with Analog telephones and a DBC 199 cannot use this facility.

For both call and answer, at least one of the traffic functions Line 1, Line 2* or Inquiry must be free.

Calls that are signalled on the supervision key include all calls to the monitored extension's directory number, that is on both Line 1 and Line 2*.

A monitored extension is indicated as busy if either Line 1, Line 2* or Inquiry is seized. This does not prevent calls from being initiated to the monitored extension's Line 2*, if this is free.

The Supervision function on the DBC 220 and DBC 210 is only available using an ELU-D3/MFU board or higher.

The supervision of a PBX group with serial distribution will not be supported, however it will be supported with parallel distribution.

(* not available on DBC 210 Telephone).
