Lucent Technologies 4.1 manual Considerations

Considerations

■You cannot assign a line that belongs to a pool as an individual line on that pooled extension.

■A line must be assigned to a button with lights. If a line is assigned to a button without lights, you cannot access that line, nor can you program anything else on the button.

■On system phones, assign only as many lines as that extension can use (see Figure 5-1on the previous page). For example, PARTNER-18D phones can have up to 16 outside lines; if you assign 18 lines, the last two lines are assigned to buttons without lights, and are not accessible. In addition, you cannot assign features to those buttons until the line assignments are removed. (PARTNER-6, MDC 9000, and MDW 9000 phones can have up to four outside lines.)

■You can assign multiple lines (up to 24) to a standard phone, but a single-line phone can handle only one call at a time. To make a call, a user lifts the handset and dials 9 at intercom dial tone; the system selects the first available line based on the Automatic Line Selection programmed for the extension. (Alternatively, the user can use Direct Line Pickup to access a specific line.)

Valid Entries

1 = Assigned ✔

2 = Not Assigned

3 = Select Button (then press a line button to assign the line to that button)

Programming

To assign lines to a specific extension:

1.Press [ Feature ] [ 0 ] [ 0 ] [ System Program ] [ System Program ] [ # ] [ 3 ] [ 0 ] [ 1 ].

2.Enter the extension number to be programmed (10–57). For example, to

program extension 15, press [ 1 ] [ 5 ].

The red light next to each button that has a line assigned is on steady; the red light next to each button that has a pool assigned flashes. To remove all existing line assignments, press [ Remove ] before selecting a line.

3.Enter the line number (01–24) to be assigned. For example, to select line 1, press [ 0 ] [ 1 ].
