For CACH EKTS phones, an incoming call is not assigned a B­
channel.
Therefore, the requirement to answer non-ACO calls
before answering ACO calls does not apply.
To CACH EKTS
phones, all incoming calls look like ACO calls.
The Optiset terminal allows ACO calls to stack on the only line
defined or on the last line defined. This allows fewer call
appearances to be programmed than the call reference bUsy limit of
the particular ON.
