EXPANDING THE 955 SYSTEM

When you combine two or more 955 phones you create an interacting system where phones share lines. You can have up to twelve phones and up to 15 telephone lines. The 955 can be expanded with or without Centrex service.

NOTE: All 955 features work as described earlier in this manual.

Line Groups

When phones share lines, Line-in-use lights let users at different extensions know when a specific line is in use. For accurate Line-in-use lights, the same lines must be connected to each extension in the Line Group, and they must have the same incoming telephone number at each extension.

The chart below shows 12 extensions, each sharing the first three lines, but being assigned to different Line Groups based on other shared or private lines.

Private Lines

You can use the fourth line on each station as a private line. A private line is a telephone number assigned to just one extension.

NOTE: You must program the lines you are using at each extension so that the system knows which lines are shared and which are private (you cannot physically wire lines with different telephone numbers into each unit for Line 4).

The chart below shows 12 extensions, each sharing the first three lines and having its own private line.
