Automatic Line Selection
This feature determines the line or pool a user is connected to after lifting the handset or turning on the speaker to make a call. The system looks for lines or pools in the order specified by Automatic Line Selection and selects the first available line or pool.
At key extensions, with Automatic Line Selection at its factory setting, the system first searches to find an idle outside line in numerical order (starting with the lowest line number). If all outside lines are busy, the system searches for an idle intercom line. This order can be changed, however, to accommodate your business needs. For example, a telemarketing firm with a WATS line (line 5) to reduce telephone expenses would set Automatic Line Selection for all telemarketers’ extensions to “05, 01, 02, 03, 04, Intercom.” This way the WATS line is selected first.
At pooled extensions, with Automatic Line Selection at its factory setting, the system first searches to find an available line in the main pool (pool 880 button 1, then button 2). If all outside lines in the pool are busy, the system selects an idle intercom line. However, you can change the order to accommodate a different automatic line selection. For example, your boss prefers her individual line (line 15) to be selected when she lifts the handset; then she wants auxiliary pool 881 to be selected, which is used for making international calls. To do this, set Automatic Line Selection to “15, 881, Intercom.”
