Description
Define how the line is used in relation to other lines in the system.
• Public line: can be accessed by more than one telephone.
• Private line: can be assigned only to one telephone and the prime telephone for
that line. Enter the internal number of the telephone.
• Pool A - O: 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 more information and tips, refer to
Specify whether the system uses dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) or pulse
signaling on the trunk.
Tone does not appear if Signaling is set to Immediate
(T1 DID &T1 E&M trunk types only).
Assign a telephone to provide backup answering for calls on the line. For an Auto
Answer line, calls are redirected if the received number is invalid or the target line
is busy, and if the If busy parameter is set To prime.
Each line can be assigned only one prime telephone.
This field shows the Distinct Ring Patterns that have already been assigned to at
least one line.
Choose the distinctive ring pattern that you want to assign to the line. This allows
you to provide selective service to calls with differing answer priorities.
When more than one line with the distinct ring settings rings at a telephone, the line
with the highest priority will ring first.
• Pattern 4 has the highest ring priority
• Pattern 3 has second highest ring priority
• Pattern 2 has third highest ring priority
• None has the lowest ring priority.
By default, all telephones and lines are set to None
Warning:
If you assign a distinctive ring pattern to a line, and that distinctive ring pattern has
already been assigned to a telephone, all telephones with that ring pattern will be
reset to pattern 1.
If you assign a distinctive ring pattern to a telephone, and that distinctive ring
pattern has already been assigned to a line, all lines with that ring pattern will be
reset to None.
Define whether one Business Communications Manager user can select a line in
use at another telephone to join an existing call. Refer to
a call" on page 270. (FEATURE 83)
Turn the auxiliary ringer on or off for all telephones using this line.
When programmed on a line, the auxiliary ringer will ring every time a call is
received.
Note: When programmed only on a telephone, no ring occurs for a transferred call.
An auxiliary ringer can also be programmed in Services to ring for a line placed into
a scheduled Ringing service. Refer to
Select the signal type for the line. The immediate setting does not appear for T1
E&M or T1 DID trunks connected to a DTM if the Dial mode is set to tone.
Make sure that this matches the signal type programmed for the trunk at the other
switch.
