2.18. Hotline/ Warm-Line

The LIP Phone may be assigned for Hotline/Warm-Line operation. When assigned, the LIP Phone will automatically place a call to the assigned destination. For Hotline, the call is placed immediately upon an off-hook state. For Warm-Line, the call is placed after a delay, allowing the user time to access another feature or Line as needed.
