Line Preference determines how a system phone user places and answers calls. There are two types
of Line Preference: Incoming Line Preference and Outgoing Line Preference.
Incoming Line Preference
Incoming Line Preference establishes how a system phone user answers calls. When a call rings the
system phone, lifting the handset answers either the ringing call (for Ringing Line Preference) or
seizes an idle line (for Idle Line Preference). The idle line can provide either Intercom or trunk
dial tone (see Outgoing Line Preference below). Ringing Line Preference helps users whose pri-
mary function is to answer calls (such as a receptionist). Idle Line Preference is an aid to users
whose primary function is to place calls (such as a telemarketer).
Outgoing Line Preference
Outgoing Line Preference sets how a system phone user places calls. If a system phone has Outgo-
ing Intercom Line Preference, the user hears Intercom dial tone when they lift the handset. If a sys-
tem phone has Outgoing Trunk Line Preference, the user hears trunk dial tone when they lift the
handset. Outgoing Line Preference also determines what happens at extensions with Idle Line
Preference. The user hears either trunk ("dial 9") or Intercom dial tone.
Auto-Answer of Non-Ringing Lines
With Auto-Answer of Non-Ringing Lines, an extension user can automatically answer trunk calls
that ring other extensions (not their own). This would help a user that has to answer calls for co-
workers that are away from their desks. When the user lifts the handset, they automatically answer
the ringing calls based on Trunk Group Routing programming. The extension user's own ringing
calls, however, always have priority over calls ringing other co-worker's extensions.
If a system phone extension has more than one call ringing its line keys, Ringing Line Preference
answers the calls on a first-in first-answered basis.
