Hotline | Code: #603 |
Description: Identifies the “hotline” extension and the extension it automatically rings (the “alert” extension). When someone lifts the handset of the hotline tele- phone, the alert extension rings. You can set up several hotline and alert exten- sion pairs. The alert extension can be the same or different for one or more hot- line extensions.
Valid Entries: A hotline extension An alert extension
✓No hotline or alert assigned
Considerations:
The hotline telephone must be a standard;
A hotline cannot be a doorphone. Assigning a hotline to a doorphone exten- sion cancels the doorphone setting.
To prevent outside calls from being made or received on the hotline, use Line Assignment (#301) to remove all outside lines from the hotline exten- sion.
Include only intercoms in the Automatic Line Selection for the hotline exten- sion (p.
Remove hotline extensions from the Night Service Group (#504) and Calling
Group (#502).
