Review the responsibilities of the people in your business and the special characteristics of your outside lines. Then decide which, if any, should have customized line assignments. (Your System Configuration Form shows the telephone number and line type for each of your outside telephone lines.)
In the "Intercom No." column . . .
Find the intercom numbers for the people for whom you want customized line assignments.
Check the appropriate boxes to the right of the intercom numbers to indicate which lines you want to assign to each person.
Original Line | You can keep the original line assignments on the voice terminals of those |
Assignments | people who need access to every outside line in the system. |
In the "Intercom No." column . . .
Find the intercom numbers for the people who should retain the original line assignments.
Check the appropriate boxes to the right of the intercom numbers to indicate that every line will appear at each of those voice terminals.
AUTOMATIC LINEWhen you lift the voice terminal handset to make an outside call, the system SELECTION SEQUENCE automatically scans the outside telephone lines in the order in which they
appear on your voice terminal's line buttons until it finds a free line for your call. For example, if your voice terminal has the original line assignments, the system gives you Line A, if it's free, when you lift the handset. If Line A is busy, the system tries Line B, and so on in alphabetical order until it finds a free line for your call. Likewise, if your voice terminal has customized line assignments, the system will search for a free line following the customized sequence.
In most cases, you probably want a voice terminal's automatic line selection sequence to be the same as the sequence in which the lines appear on the voice terminal's line buttons. If, however, you want a special automatic line selection sequence for a voice terminal, you can program that sequence when you administer the system's outside lines.
NOTE: A special automatic line selection sequence for a voice terminal can contain any or all of the lines that appear on the voice terminal's line buttons.
