Lucent Technologies 4.1 User Manual
Because there are no line buttons on standard phones, users must use
Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line to select a specific idle line. Otherwise,
the system selects an idle line automatically when the user dials a 9 at
intercom dial tone. (For information on Automatic Line Selection, see
Chapter 5.) Similarly, because there are no pool buttons on standard
phones, users must dial pool access codes at intercom dial tone to
request access to an idle pooled line (see “Making Calls” for instructions
on using pool access codes). Otherwise, the system selects an idle line
from a pool automatically when the user dials a 9 at intercom dial tone.

Feature Phones
A feature phone is a standard telephone that has feature buttons in addition to
the regular 12-key dial pad. For example, there are feature phones that have
programmable auto dial buttons, last number redial buttons, hold buttons, and
built-in speakers. You can use most of the system’s dial-code features from a
feature phone, and program them onto a feature phone button. However, there
are some limitations to what these phones can do.

The capabilities of a feature phone are in the phone itself. For example, if you
store a number on a feature phone’s auto dial button, that number is stored in
the feature phone. (This is different from storing a number on a system phone’s
Auto Dial button. When you program a button on a system phone, the number is
actually stored in the control unit.) Similarly, when you press a hold button on a
feature phone, the call is held at the phone itself. (Callers will not hear the
system’s Music On Hold. Other phones in the system cannot see that the call is
on hold; it appears as a busy line.)

If you want to program an outside number on a feature phone’s auto dial button,
you must add a 9 and one or more pauses (if available) before each outside
number. (The 9 gets an outside line, and each pause allows a few seconds to
get an outside dial tone.)

Note that the feature phone’s last number redial button may not work for an
outside call. To redial the last number, use the system’s Last Number Redial
