SECURITY
l
ALERT:
!
If a HotLine extension accesses a loop-start line, that line should provide
reliable disconnect and be programmed for reliable disconnect. Otherwise,
a user at the extension may be able to stay on the line after a call is
completed and then make a toll call.

a user at the extension may be able to stay on the line after a call is
completed and then make a toll call.
Personal Speed Dial code 01 may be programmed at a single-line telephone prior
to its assignment as a HotLine extension. When the system manager has used
system programming to make an extension a HotLine, there is only one
opportunity to program the necessary Personal Speed Dial code while at the
telephone. For security reasons, as long as the extension remains a HotLine, no
further programming is allowed at the extension, and changes to the speed dial
code must be made using centralized telephone programming.

programming the single-line telephone for No Ring.

A single-line telephone without a dialpad can be used for many HotLine
applications. If the telephone has a dialpad, it allows dialing of digits after a call is
connected, in response to an automated attendant’s prompts, for example.
