Extension Jack Pairs for Analog Telephones	2

Use these instructions only if the system has analog multiline telephones.

Otherwise, skip to the next section, “Jacks for MLX Telephones”.

MLX telephones can use the Voice Announce to Busy feature or simultaneous voice and data without requiring a second extension jack.

Analog multiline telephones require an additional extension jack to use Voice Announce to Busy or voice and data. The jacks must be an odd-numbered analog extension jack and the next higher (even-numbered) analog extension jack. The system assigns individual extension numbers to each of the jacks. The extension number associated with the first (odd-numbered) extension jack in the pair is the telephones extension number. Calls cannot be placed to the extension number associated with the even-numbered extension jack. (For information about renumbering jacks, see System Renumbering later in this chapter.)

You can assign Voice Announce to Busy or voice and data to any of the analog multiline telephones in the system, but you cannot assign both to the same telephone.
