Assigning line pool access

Assigning line pool access
The Line pool access heading allows you to define the line pools that the telephone will be able to
access. These shared pools of lines allow many users to use fewer lines for connections where
dedicated lines are not practical or not desirable. If all lines in the pool are taken, the user receives
a busy signal.
Doorphone note: Before installing doorphone hardware, ensure that you delete any lines, line
pools, or answer DNs assigned to the DN record you plan to use for the doorphone.
To assign a line pool to a telephone:
1
If you are not already in the DN record, click the telephone DN to which you want to assign a
line pool.
2
Click Line access, then click Line pool access.
3
Click the Add button.
4
Enter a line pool identifier. <Digital and VoIP - Pool A to O> or <PRI-A to PRI-F>.
5
Click the Save button.
The line pool identifier appears under the Line pool access heading.

About PRI line pools

PRI lines have special requirements when being used within line pools.
• Six exclusive line pools (PRI-A to PRI-F) are available for PRI lines.
• Only PRI or BRI ETSI QSIG lines can belong to a PRI pool.
• PRI lines cannot belong to Line Pools A through O.
• All lines on a single DTM (PRI) belong to the same pool. Lines from multiple DTMs (PRI) can
belong to the same pool if the lines are configured with the same protocol.
• You can assign PRI lines to pools with the Line type setting.

Using Answer DNs

You can program a telephone to provide automatic call alerting and call answering for other
telephones in the system. The DNs of the other telephones are referred to as answer DNs.
Every answer DN you assign to the telephone automatically designates an appearance on the
answer telephone beside a button with an indicator. On the answer telephone, an indicator appears
beside the answer button when a call comes in from the original telephone. If the call is answered
at the originating telephone, the indicator disappears. Label the buttons to identify the telephone
with a name or DN. More than one telephone can have an Answer button for the same DN.
