Programming Procedures
Automatic Line
Selection
For example, lines 1 and 2 are assigned to an extension. If line 1 is free, the system connects the user to that line. If line 1 is busy but line 2 is free, the sys- tem connects the user to line 2. If both lines are busy the system connects tie user to an intercom line (if available).
For extensions with standard
To copy the Automatic Line Selection (as well as other sys- tem settings) to other extensions, use Copy Settings (#399).
Description: When a user lifts the handset to make a call without first pressing a line button, the system connects him or her to a line, as determined by the Automatic Line Selection. The factory set order connects the user to the first available outside line assigned to the extension, in numerical order. This pro- cedure changes the factory setting.
Valid Entries: Any available lines (outside and intercom) for that extension, in any order
✓Line 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Intercom
(at an extension with all lines assigned)
Considerations:
■You must set the Automatic Line Selection before completing any other cen- tralized telephone programming. (Or skip it for the factory setting.)
■For extensions used mainly to call other extensions, program Intercom first.
■For standard
■For hotline and doorphone extensions, program Intercom only.
Programming Notes: You do not need to include all available lines for an extension, only the ones you want the system to search through and connect automatically. If you include a line that is not assigned to the extension, the sys- tem skips it when connecting the user to a line.
