Programming

If you add an outside line to your system for use in an existing pool, use Dial Mode (#201) if the new line is a rotary line and Pool Line Assignment (#207) t o add the line to an existing pool.

IMPORTANT:

Do not use Number of Lines (#104) if you add lines to the system after initial setup, because it changes Pool Line Assignment (#207), Pool Extension Assignment (#314), Pool Access Restriction (#315), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for existing pools back to factory settings. Additionally, it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction (#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for individual lines back to factory settings. To change pool assignments without affecting other settings, use Pool Line Assignment (#207) and Pool Extension Assignment (#314).

Adding New Pools

Use this section if your system is configured for Hybrid mode to create new pools. If you add outside lines to your system for use in a new pool, use Dial Mode (#201) if the new lines are rotary lines, Pool Line Assignment (#207) to assign lines to the new pool, Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign the new pool to specific extensions, Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when the new pool will start ringing at each extension that has the pool, and Pool Access Restriction (#315) to limit an extension’s access to all the lines in the new pool. Also use Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone Programming) to add the new pool to the extension’s Automatic Line Selection sequence.

Adding New Extensions

If you add an extension to your system, you can probably use Copy Settings (#399) to copy the settings of an existing extension. If you wish to further adjust a new extension’s settings, see ‘‘Customizing Extensions’’ on page 2-5.

Swapping Extensions

If a user changes location, but wants to keep the same extension number, you can make the change easily by changing the connection at the control unit.

For example, if the users at extensions 29 and 32 switch offices, you can disconnect the modular plugs from those extension jacks in the control unit. Then reconnect the plug from 32 into extension jack 29 and the plug from 29 into extension jack 32. Now the users can take their respective phones to their new locations, keep the same extension numbers, and retain the phones’ programmed settings.
