Trunks
3-50 Trunk Assignment
Decide which trunks should appear on each DLC operator console based on
each operator's call-handling responsibilities. All operators may not need the
same assignments. For example, DLC operators responsible for answering all
incoming calls usually need all trunks except, perhaps, personal lines. DLC
operators who are responsible for answering calls for specific groups usually
need only the trunks used by group members.
If the system includes a loudspeaker paging system, consider assigning a
Loudspeaker Page button to DLC positions for one-touch access to the paging
equipment.
If the system has fewer than 30 lines, the operator-only features Alarm, Night
Service, and Send/Remove Message are factory assigned as shown in Figure
3-6. The factory assignments can be changed through centralized telephone
programming or by a DLC operator.
