Assigning Line Pools to Buttons (Button Access to Line Pools)

If you have few line pools and do not use Automatic Route Selection, you will probably prefer to set your control unit and administer your voice terminals for Button Access to Line Pools. Remember that if you select Button Access, it will apply to all voice terminals in your system. Your system will automatically assign the main pool to the two buttons above Intercom-Voice on each voice terminal.

To assign a line pool to a button:

1.If you have not already done so, enter administration mode by follow- ing the boxed instructions on page 25.

2.Touch Adm Tel.

The lights next to the administration mode buttons stop flashing, and the green lights next to Adm Tel remain on.

3.Dial the intercom number or touch the Auto Intercom button for the voice terminal to which you want to assign line pools to buttons.

If the voice terminal is idle, a steady green light comes on next to its Auto Intercom button, and the system gives you a 2-beep signal to begin.

If the voice terminal is being used, the green lights next to its Auto Intercom button and Adm Tel flash rapidly. You must wait until the green lights become steady or try again later.

4.Refer to the Voice Terminal Configuration Form to see which line pools should be assigned to this voice terminal. Green lights show next to the buttons of any lines already assigned to this voice terminal. Red lights show next to the line buttons for each line in any system pool.

5.Touch the button of any line in the line pool you want to add to or remove from this voice terminal. Each successive touch of the line button gives you one of the following codes:

Green light on = line pool is assigned to a button

Green light off = line pool is not assigned to a button

NOTE: The system automatically assigns the main pool to the two but- tons above the Intercom buttons, and you cannot change this assign- ment. The system automatically assigns the other line pools to buttons in the order illustrated on page 34. To change the order in which pools other than the main pool appear on the voice terminal, remove all lines and line pools assigned to the voice terminal, following the procedure given above. Then touch the line buttons in the order you want the indi- vidual lines and line pools to appear on the voice terminal.

If you’re readministering a system, and you don’t know the order in which lines and pools appear on the voice terminal, remove all the indi- vidual lines and line pools and reassign them.

6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each voice terminal in your system.

If you want to give a voice terminal the same line pool assignments as one that has already been set up, use this shortcut:

NOTE: When you copy pool assignments, you also copy call restric- tions, Dial Access to Line Pools, and line assignments.

Dial the intercom number or touch the Auto Intercom button of the new voice terminal.

Touch Copy.

Dial the intercom number or touch the Auto Intercom button of the original voice terminal.

7.Touch Adm Tel.

The lights next to the administration mode buttons flash again,

8.Continue to administer your system, or leave administration mode by following the boxed instructions on page 25.
