AT&T MLS-12DTM, MLS-12TM, MLS-6TM manual Hotline, Code #603

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; single-line touch-tone or rotary telephone.

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. 4-3).

Remove hotline extensions from the Night Service Group (#504) and Calling

Group (#502).
