DESCRIPTION

When the system administrator assigns lines to voice terminals, he or she can

 

select lines that will serve as personal lines for individuals in the business,

 

such as the president of the company. No one else has these lines on his or

 

her voice terminal. Calls that come in on these personal lines will not ring at

 

other voice terminals or at the attendant's console.

CONSIDERATIONS

ADMINISTRATION

A secretary can cover calls that come in on his or her boss' personal line by having the line assigned to his or her own voice terminal and programming the line for immediate ring. At the boss' voice terminal, the line can be programmed for delayed ring. A secretary can screen calls that come in on the personal line by programming the line on the boss' voice terminal to delayed ring or no ring and programming the line at his or her own voice terminal for immediate ring. (See "Ringing Options")

If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this information.

To assign a personal line to a voice terminal:

1Enter administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to P and touching

Administer.

2Dial the intercom number or touch the Auto Intercom button for the

voice terminal to which you want to assign a personal line.

A green light goes on next to the Auto Intercom button. Green lights also go on next to the buttons of any lines already assigned to the voice terminal.

3To add the personal line, touch the line button associated with that line until the green light next to it goes on.
