Adding New Lines
How you add new lines to the system depends upon the type of extension you are adding them to.
Key Extensions
You can add individual lines to pooled extensions or add new lines to key extensions (all extensions in Key mode; in Hybrid mode, extension 10 and any extensions set to Key by using Line Access Mode (#301) are key extensions.)
If you add an outside line to your system, you may need to adjust some line settings:
•Dial Mode (#201) if the new line is a rotary line
•Line Assignment (#301) to assign the line to specific extensions
•Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when the line starts ringing at each extension that has the line
•Line Access Restriction (#302) to limit an extension’s access to the line
•The system automatically assigns the new line as the last line in the Automatic Line Selection sequence. If you want to change the order, use Automatic Line Selection.
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) if you add lines to the system after initial setup because it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction (#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for existing lines back to factory settings. To add a new line without affecting other settings, use Line Assignment (#301).
Pooled Extensions
You can add new lines to existing pools if your system is configured for Hybrid mode. To assign a new line to a pooled extension as an individual line, use the features in “Key Extensions” above.
