Modes of Operation

The system supports two modes of operation. The mode of operation determines how users
access outside lines from their telephones:
Key Mode. You access individual outside lines to make and receive calls.
I
Hybrid Mode. For Release 2.0 or later systems, you can access individual outside lines as in
I
Key mode. However, you also can create up to four groups, or pools, of multiple outside lines.
When you access a pool to make a call, the system selects an available line from the pool.
Since multiple lines are associated with the pool, you do not know which line within the pool is
being used to make the call.
System mode is determined by the configuration of the processor module. The system is factory-
set for Key mode. Changing to Hybrid mode requires a system programming change modifying the
processor module. For more information about programming the mode of operation, see
Operation (#198)" on page
The mode for your system must be decided upon before installation. In Key mode, no outside lines
can be pooled, and, in Hybrid mode, lines can be pooled and individual lines can be assigned
directly to line buttons.
