Initial System Setup
2-5
■Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when a line
will start ringing at each extension that has the line. For additional
information about line ringing options, see ‘‘Programming a Recept ionist’s
Extension’’.
■Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone Programming) to
specify the order in which the system selects an available line (intercom or
outside), when a user at the extension lifts the handset or presses S to
make a call without first selecting a specific line button.
For extensions with standard phones, set Automatic Line Selection to
intercom first. This enables standard phones to access system features,
including intercom calling. When users lift the handsets on standar d
phones, they hear intercom dial tone. To access an outside line, they must
dial 9.
Pooled Extensions (Release 2.0 or later)
Use the procedures described in this section if your system is configur ed for
Hybrid mode to change the assignment of lines in pools and to assign aux iliary
pools to or remove the main pool from pooled extensions. If a pooled extensio n
also has an individual line, refer to ‘‘Key Extensions’’ to assign that individual line.
For initial setup
only
, use Number of Lines (#104) to specify the number of lines
that will be assigned to the main pool. Then, use the following procedures as
needed:
■Dial Mode (#201) to identify any rotary lines (the default for all lines is
“touch-tone”).
■Pool Line Assignment (#207) to remove lines from the main pool and
assign lines to auxiliary pools.
■Line Access Mode (#313) to change a specific extension’s operation from
Pooled to Key. Refer to ‘‘Key Extensions’’ to assign lines to those
extensions.
■Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to remove the main pool, assign
auxiliary pools, or change the location of the button used to select an
auxiliary pool at specific extensions. (The location of the two main pool
buttons cannot be changed.)
■Pool Access Restriction (#315) to prevent an extension from receiving
and/or making outside calls on all lines in specific pools.
■Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when a line
or pool will start ringing at each extension that has the line or pool. By
default, lines are set to Immediate Ring and pools are set to No Ring. For
additional information on line ringing options, see ‘‘Programming a
Receptionist’s Extension’’.
