Square Configuration

When all lines are all common, the configura-
tion is called square. Since all lines are com-
mon, calls on any line can be transferred to
any station.
Non-Square Configuration/
Private Line Support
When all lines are not common, the configu-
ration is called non-square. Depending on
which line is connected to which station, you
can transfer calls on some lines to some sta-
tions.
The following chart shows a sample non-
square configuration. In this configuration,
lines 1 and 2 are common to all stations, and
lines 3 and 4 are available to groups of sta-
tions.
Stations 11, 16, and 17 have all the lines, so
these stations can answer all lines. Calls to
Lines 1 and 2 can be transferred to all sta-
tions. Calls on Line 3 can be transferred to all
stations except stations 14 and 15. Calls on
Line 4 can only be transferred to the stations
that have Line 4 (stations 11, 16, and 17 in
the sample chart). If you want to build a non-
square configuration, we suggest you make
a planning chart similar to the sample chart
for easier connection.
Note: You can also set private lines that are
not included in the system. See "Setting Pri-
vate Lines" on Page 20.

Important: If you are using this phone as a
sub-station to the SP708 phone system (Cat.
No. 43-5708), and you have the Auto Atten-
dant feature turned on, the Auto Attendant
can answer all lines as well.

MOUNTING THE SYSTEM

You can place your phone on a flat surface,
or mount it on a standard wall plate or direct-
ly on a wall. Select a location that is near a
modular telephone line jack and an AC out-
let, and out of the way of normal activities.
