Line Access Using the Other-CO (O-CO) Button

To select an idle outside (CO) line from among the outside (CO) lines that are not assigned to S-CO or G- CO buttons, the proprietary telephone (PT) user can press the O-CO button.

Conditions

•The PBX waits for a preprogrammed length of time ( Dialling Start Time [206]) after seizing an outside (CO) line before dialling.

•Button Assignment

A flexible CO button can be customised as an S-CO, G-CO, or O-CO button as follows:

Type	Assignable parameter
Single-CO (S-CO)	A specified outside (CO) line is assigned (Default: CO 1–CO 3).
Group-CO (G-CO)	An outside (CO) line group is assigned ( CO Line Group Number
	[404]).
Other-CO (O-CO)	Outside (CO) lines that are not assigned to S-CO or G-CO buttons
	are assigned.

The same outside (CO) line group can be assigned to more than one G-CO button on the same PT. The same outside (CO) line can be assigned to an S-CO button and a G-CO button.

Dialling the Outside (CO) Line Access number selects a CO button according to the following priority:

S-CO G-CO O-CO

Once a flexible CO button is assigned as an Outside (CO) Line Access button, it indicates line status with a variety of light patterns ( 1.18.3 LED Indication).

•Direct Outside (CO) Line Access

If a PT user is on-hook when pressing an idle CO button, the PT automatically enables hands-free
