Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual

Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone Programming) to
specify the order in which the system selects an available line (intercom
or outside), when a user at the extension lifts the handset or presses [

]

to make a call.

For extensions with standard phones, set  Automatic Line Selection  to
intercom first. This enables standard phones to access system
features, including intercom calling. When users lift the handsets on
standard phones, they hear intercom dial tone. To access an outside
line, they must dial 9.

Use this section if your system is configured for Hybrid mode to change the
assignment of lines in pools and to assign auxiliary pools to or remove the main
pool from pooled extensions. If a pooled extension also has an individual line,
refer to “Key Extensions” on the previous page to assign that individual line.

For initial setup only, use Number of Lines (#104) to specify the number of lines

that will be assigned to the main pool. Then use the following procedures as

needed:

Dial Mode (#201) to identify any rotary lines (the default for all lines is
“touch-tone”).

Pool Line Assignment (#207) to remove lines from the main pool and
assign lines to auxiliary pools.

Line Access Mode (#313) to change a specific extension’s operation
from Pooled to Key. Refer to “Key Extensions” on the previous page to
assign lines to those extensions.

Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to remove the main pool, assign
auxiliary pools, or change the location of the button used to select an
auxiliary pool at specific extensions. (The location of the two main pool
buttons cannot be changed.)

Pool Access Restriction (#315) to prevent an extension from receiving
and/or making outside calls on all lines in specific pools.

Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when a
line or pool will start ringing at each extension that has the line or pool.
By default, lines are set to Immediate Ring and pools are set to No Ring.
For additional information on line ringing options, see “Programming a
Receptionist’s Extension” later in this chapter.

Automatic Line Selection  (Centralized Telephone Programming) to
specify the order in which the system selects an available line or pool,
when a user at the extension lifts the handset or presses [

] to make a

call.

For extensions with standard phones, set  Automatic Line Selection  to
intercom first. This enables standard phones to access equipment
features, including intercom calling. When users lift the handsets on
standard phones, they hear intercom dial tone. To access a pool, they
can dial the pool access code 880, 881, 882, or 883 or dial 9 to
access the first available line or pool in the sequence.
