Nortel Networks Modular ICS 4.0 manual Target line

General System features / 193

Lines can be assigned to appear only, appear and ring, or to ring only.

Usually, only the lines that are appropriate for a particular person appear at that person’s telephone. When a line is assigned to a telephone it is automatically given a line button on that telephone, if a button is available. The M7100 telephone has no line buttons for its lines.

Calls on lines that ring but do not appear at a telephone are presented at an intercom button.

You may be able to answer a call on a line that does not appear or ring at your telephone. To pick up such a call, use Call Pickup, Call Park, or Trunk Answer.

A telephone may have buttons assigned for lines 001 to 003, but have only lines 001 and 002 programmed to ring as well. An incoming call on any of the three lines causes a line button indicator to flash, and the telephone can be used to answer the call. This is especially useful for people who monitor other telephone lines, but want only their own lines to ring.

Target line

A target line is used to route a call directly to a particular telephone or group of telephones. Target lines are used only for incoming calls. A single incoming line may provide connections to several different target lines. This allows each person or department in the office to have their own number without having a separate external line for each number.

Tip - The maximum number of target lines available in the fully expanded XC system is 192, and 128 on a DR 3.0 system.
