line number
A number that identifies an external line connected to the Business Communications
Manager. The total number of lines depends on the number and type of trunk media bay
modules installed. Voice over IP (VoIP) trunks and target lines are also defined as line
numbers, although they do not connect to the system through physical lines.
line pool
A group of lines used for making external calls. Line pools provide an efficient way of
giving a group of users access to a group external lines using one line button. This also
provides cost saving because you can assign a greater number of telephones to fewer lines,
depending on your system traffic rates. Assign a line to be part of a line pool under Trunk,
Line data. (Services, Telephony Services, Lines, Physical lines or VoIP lines).
Note that PRI lines have a separate line pool collection (PRI A to PRI 0). PRI line pools
cannot be directly accessed. They must be put configured into routes, which are then
assigned a destination code.
line redirection
This feature allows you to redirect all calls from an incoming line, usually to a destination
outside the system. After you redirect a line, you cannot answer the line within the system.
(FEATURE 84)
You enable the service and set up redirect ring under Capabilities. (Services, Telephony
Services, System DNs)
This feature differs from Call Forward in that Call Forward redirects calls coming in on all
lines to another destination, such as voice mail, while Line Redirection redirects only the
specific line.
Link
If you connect the Business Communications Manager system to a Private Branch
Exchange (PBX), you can use a Link signal to access special features. You can include the
Link signal as part of a longer stored sequence on an external auto dial button or in a
Speed Dial code. The Link symbol uses two of the 24 spaces in a dialing sequence.
LM
The LAN Manager is a challenge/response authentication protocol.
Local Area Network
See LAN.
location code
A location code (LOC) is used as part of a UDP dialing plan to identify each node on a
private network. It is also referred to as a Home Location Code (HML).
