Assign Trunks or Pools to Extensions 3

Use this procedure to assign outside lines/trunks (connected to the control unit) to
specific buttons on each telephone. The lines/trunks assigned to a button on a
telephone are called

personal lines.

This procedure is used only to change or add personal lines, Loudspeaker
Paging, or Pool buttons (Hybrid/PBX only) to telephones. See “Assign Intercom
or System Access Buttons” on page 3–75 for procedures to add or change
Intercom (ICOM) or System Access (SA) buttons.
!SECURITY ALERT:

In Release 6.0 and later systems (Hybrid/PBX mode only), do not assign

private networked lines as personal lines on telephone buttons. Do not

assign pools of private network trunks (tandem PRI or tandem tie) to

telephones. Do not provide dial access to these pools. Use ARS to provide

access to a remote networked system’s trunks for making outside calls.

System users can reach extensions on the remote system by using normal

inside calling procedures.

Individual lines/trunks can be assigned to a maximum of 64 extensions. Individual
pools can be assigned as a Pool button on a maximum of 64 extensions.
