AT&T 1070 manual Planning your system

Planning your system

Continued from previous page

•All extensions that share the same line should share the same line group number (4-15).

•You can connect fax machines or other non-system devices to AUXL3 or AUXL4 on the back of the telephone (also called data ports), so they can access line 3 or 4.

•See Optional spare battery, page 84 for information about installing spare batteries to maintain basic telephone features in case of a power failure.

•Refer to the Feature menu section, page 18, to customize each system telephone.

•The chart on the following page will help you plan your system.

-List the extension number, location, and model for each phone.

-For each 1080, decide whether you want it to be an auto attendant.

-Decide which phone numbers each extension should have.

-Plan your line groups. This is necessary only if all telephone lines are not attached to all telephones. See LINE GROUP, page 43, for more information.

-Decide which 1070 and 1040 extensions will be assigned to which 1080 system extension mailbox (see the Forwarding to DTAD mailbox section on the 1070 or 1040 user’s manual).

-Decide if any phones will have private lines. A private line only appears on one set.

-Write your phone numbers in the spaces at the top of the chart.

You may want to make copies of this chart, in case your needs change.
