Number of Lines (#104)
Description
This System Programming procedure determines the number of outside lines that are automatically assigned to all system extensions. (This number does not have to match the actual number of lines connected at the control unit.) This feature should be used only for initial system setup.
Related Features
Do not use this procedure if you add lines to the system after initial setup, because it changes Line Access Restriction (#302), Automatic Line Selection, Line Ringing, and Hold Disconnect Time (#203) for existing lines back to factory settings. To change line assignments without affecting other settings, use Line Assignment (#301).
Considerations
■You can use this feature to tell the system how many lines are actually connected at the control unit. For example, if some line jacks do not have lines connected, use this procedure to indicate the number of jacks that actually have lines connected; otherwise the line numbers associated with empty jacks would be assigned to phones as though there were actually lines attached.
■You can use this procedure to limit the number of lines that are automatically assigned to all extensions. For example, if there are ten lines connected at the control unit, you can use this procedure to set the number of lines to 8, so that only the first eight lines are assigned to all system extensions. You can then use Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines 9 and 10 to specific extensions.
