AT&T MLS-12TM, MLS-12DTM, MLS-6TM manual Line Assignment, Code #301, Valid Entries 1 = Assigned

Line Assignment

Hotline and doorphone exten- sions should not have outside lines assigned to them, to prevent calls from being made or received on them.

Assigning lines to particular line buttons is useful for grouping similar lines (such as inbound and outbound WATS lines) on adjacent line buttons (such as D and H).

Assign only as many lines to an extension as that extension can use. For example, a PARTNER 6-button phone can have only four outside lines.

Code: #301

Description: Use this procedure to change the line assignments on specific extensions. These changes include adding lines, deleting lines, and setting the order of the lines on a PARTNER phone’s line buttons.

Valid Entries: ✓ 1 = Assigned

2 = Not assigned

Considerations: Use this procedure to fine tune the number of lines assigned to all extensions through procedure #104, Number of Lines. For example, if you used procedure #104 to assign 5 lines to all extensions and there are 8 lines in the system, use procedure #301 to assign lines 6, 7, and 8 to specific exten- sions.

Programming Notes: When you use procedure #301 to assign a line to an extension with a PARTNER phone, the line goes to the first unused line button on the phone. The order in which line buttons are assigned appears at the left. For example, if the extension has no lines assigned to it and you assign

line 4 first, that line is put on line button A. If the extension had two other lines assigned to it, line 4 would be put on line button C.

To change the order of existing line assignments, first unassign the lines and then reassign them in the desired order.
