Telephone Options; Changing Option Settings - AT&T PARTNER Installation And Use Manual

Telephone Options

Telephone options let you further customize individual extensions in the system.
For example, you can define how the phone at an extension will ring and you
can store phone numbers on programmable buttons on system phones.
Telephone options to consider are:
Automatic Line Selection allows you to select the sequence of lines
through which the system searches to find a free line when the user
makes a call. (For extensions with standard phones, set Automatic Line
Selection to "intercom first." This enables the user at the standard phone
to access system features, including intercom calling.) If you are
changing Automatic Line Selection plus one or more other options for an
extension, you must set Automatic Line Selection first.
Line Ringing specifies whether or not the line rings at the extension.
Outgoing Call Restriction (#401) specifies the types of calls that can be
made from the extension.
Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) assigned to an extension to which
an auxiliary device such as a fax machine or modem is connected,
prevents users from interrupting calls to this extension. You can also use
this option to have Privacy on MLS-6 and MLC-6 phones, which do not
have Privacy buttons.
Doorphone/Internal Hot Line Phone/Emergency Phone (#604)
specifies whether or not a special phone application is installed at an
extension.
Auto Dialing lets you store phone numbers or extension numbers on the
eight programmable buttons on the top two rows of MLS-18D, MLS-12D,
and MLS-12 phones for one-touch dialing. These buttons are Auto Dial
buttons. An extension number stored on a button is an intercom Auto
Dial number, and an outside phone number stored on a button is an
outside Auto Dial number. (You can also set up an Auto Dial button for
Group Paging.)
This list does not include all telephone options available to you, only those that
are most commonly changed. For information about all options, refer to Chapter
5 or the inside back cover of this guide.

Changing Option Settings

System option settings and telephone option settings (except for Auto Dial
buttons) can be changed only from extension 10 using an MLS-model phone.
Users with MLS-18D, MLS-12D, and MLS-12 phones also can store numbers on
Auto Dial buttons at their own phones; instructions are provided on the Quick
Reference Card. If you plan to set up Auto Dial buttons for system extensions
from extension 10, make sure the phone at extension 10 is as large as the
largest phone in the system.
NOTE:
You can change settings any time, even when you are on a call. This allows you
to change settings while talking to the AT&T Helpline.
