The HotLine feature is available only for single-line telephones and devices connected to a port on an 008 OPT, 012 T/R, or 016 T/R module. A single-line telephone connected to an MFM cannot use the HotLine feature. This feature enables you to set up a telephone to dial one specific number once the telephone goes off-hook. The number that is dialed is the first personal speed dial (code 01) programmed on the single-line telephone using centralized telephone programming or extension programming. (Extension programming is only available before the HotLine feature is activated.)

A HotLine extension can call a private network extension. See the Network

Reference for information.

NOTE:

In Release 6.0 and later systems, after the Hotline extension number has been assigned, the FRL value for the Hotline extension number should be set to 6. This ensures that, regardless of the FRL value assigned to the route(s) in the UDP Routing Table connecting two switches in a private network, placing a UDP call from switch A directly connected to switch B using the Hotline feature will not fail due to the FRL.
