The Originating line preference parameter determines which line will be used when the user goes 
off-hook or starts on-hook dialling. 
 
Remark: When a terminating call exists, the terminating line preference takes priority over the originat-
ing line preference. 
 
The following preferences can be configured: 
 

¾ 

idle line: An idle line is selected for originating calls. The selection is based on the hunt rank-
ing parameter assigned to each line in the “Line key configuration” screen. If all available lines 
are used, a popup is shown indicating that no further line is available. 

¾ 

primary: The designated primary line / main DN is selected for originating calls. If the primary 
line is already used, a popup is shown indicating that no further line is available, even if other 
lines are configured and idle. In this case, the user has to manually select the line for the out-
going call. 

¾ 

last: The line selected for originating calls is the line that has been used for the last call (origi-
nating or terminating). If the last line is already in use, a popup is shown indicating that no 
further line is available, even if other lines are configured and idle. In this case, the user has to 
manually select the line for the outgoing call. 

¾ 

none: To originate a call, the user manually selects a line by pressing its line key. Manual line 
selection overrides automatic line preferences. 

 
The Terminating line preference parameter decides which terminating line, i. e. line with an incom-
ing call, is selected for call accepting when the user goes off-hook.  
 
The following preferences can be configured: 
 

¾ 

ringing line: The line in the alerting or audible ringing state is automatically selected when 
the user goes off-hook. If multiple lines are alerting or ringing, that line which has been alert-
ing the longest is selected. 

¾ 

ringing PLP: The line in alerting or audible ringing state is automatically selected when the 
user goes off-hook. However, if the prime line is alerting, it is given priority. 

¾ 

incoming: The earliest line to start audible ringing is selected, or else the earliest alerting 
(ringing suppression ignored) line is selected.  

¾ 

incoming PLP: The earliest line to start audible ringing is selected, or else the earliest alerting 
(ringing suppression ignored) line is selected. However, if the prime line is alerting, it is given 
priority. 

¾ 

none: To answer a call, the user manually selects a line by pressing its line key before going 
off-hook, or by pressing the speaker key. Manual line selection overrides automatic line pref-
erences. 

 
Line action mode determines the consequence for an established connection when the line key is 
pressed. If "hold" is selected, the call currently active is set to hold as soon as the corresponding line 
key is activated. The user has two options: 1) to reconnect to the remote phone by pressing the line 
key again, or 2) to initiate another call from a newly selected line. If "release" is selected, the previously 
established call is ended.  
 
If Show Focus is checked, the LED of a line key flutters when the line is in use. If not checked, the line 
key is lit steadily when the line is in use. 
 
The Reservation timer sets the period after which the reservation of a line is cancelled. A line is auto-
matically reserved for the keyset whenever the user has selected a line for an outgoing call and hears a 
dial tone. If set to 0, the reservation timer is deactivated. 
 
Forward indication activates or deactivates the indication of station forwarding, i. e. the forwarding 
function of OpenScape Voice. If Forward indication is activated and station forwarding is active for the 
corresponding line, the LED of the line key blinks.
