Line Type - Nortel ICS Install Manual

364 / Lines

Line type

This setting specifies how the line is to be used in relation to
other lines in the system.
Press CHANGE to select the setting: Public, Private to:, or
Pool (A to O or PRI-A to PRI-D).
• A Public line can be accessed by more than one telephone.
• A Private line can be assigned only to one telephone and
the prime telephone for that line. Use CHANGE and the
dialpad to enter the internal number of the telephone.
• Pool assigns the line to one of the line pools. If a line is
assigned to a line pool, but is not assigned to any
telephone, that line is available only for outgoing calls (for
example, PRI lines).
Tips -
start lines and E&M lines. All E&M lines in a given line pool
should go to the same location.
Try to avoid putting unsupervised loopstart lines in a line pool.
These lines can become hung, especially when a remote user
uses the line pool to make an external call.
