Lucent Technologies 518-458-100 manual Pooled Extensions

Programming

■Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when a line will start ringing at each extension that has the line. For additional information about line ringing options, see ‘‘Programming a Receptionist’s Extension’’ on page 2-23.

■Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify the order in which the system selects an available line (intercom or outside), when a user at the extension lifts the handset or presses Sto make a call without first selecting a specific line button.

For extensions with standard phones, set Automatic Line Selection to intercom first. This enables standard phones to access system features, including intercom calling. When users lift the handsets on standard phones, they hear intercom dial tone. To access an outside line, they must dial 9.

Pooled Extensions

Use the procedures described in this section if your system is configured for Hybrid mode to change the assignment of lines in pools and to assign auxiliary pools to or remove the main pool from pooled extensions. If a pooled extension also has an individual line, refer to ‘‘Key Extensions’’ to assign that individual line.

For initial setup only, use Number of Lines (#104) to specify the number of lines that will be assigned to the main pool. Then use the following procedures as needed:

■Dial Mode (#201) to identify any rotary lines (the default for all lines is “touch-tone”).

■Pool Line Assignment (#207) to remove lines from the main pool and assign lines to auxiliary pools.

■Line Access Mode (#313) to change a specific extension’s operation from Pooled to Key. Refer to ‘‘Key Extensions’’ to assign lines to those extensions.

■Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to remove the main pool, assign auxiliary pools, or change the location of the button used to select an auxiliary pool at specific extensions. (The location of the two main pool buttons cannot be changed.)

■Pool Access Restriction (#315) to prevent an extension from receiving and/or making outside calls on all lines in specific pools.

■Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when a line or pool will start ringing at each extension that has the line or pool. By default, lines are set to Immediate Ring and pools are set to No Ring. For additional information on line ringing options, see ‘‘Programming a Receptionist’s Extension’’ on page 2-23.

■Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify the order in which the system selects an available line or pool, when a user at the extension lifts the handset or presses Sto make a call.
