Basic Telephones Connected To A Basic Telephone M O D U L - AT&T MERLIN 3070 Administration Manual

BASIC TELEPHONES CONNECTED TO A BASIC TELEPHONE MODULE
If you have a square system, people with basic telephones get an outside line
by dialing 88. The system automatically selects an available line from among
those you've assigned to that telephone. Be sure to assign interchangeable
lines.
If you have a pooled system, you can follow the procedures on pages 42 and
43 to assign basic telephones Button Access to Line Pools or Dial Access to
Line Pools.
If your system has Button Access to Line Pools, people with basic telephones
dial 9 to access the main pool. If you assign additional lines to their telephones,
those people dial 88 to access an available line assigned to that telephone. Be
sure to assign interchangeable lines.
If your system has Dial Access to Line Pools, people with basic telephones ac-
cess pools by dialing 9 and then a pool access code. For example, to access
the main pool (access code 9), people dial 9 and then dial 9 again. If they want
to access a different pool (for instance, the one with access code 891), they dial
9 and then dial 891. If your system uses Automatic Route Selection, however,
people with basic telephones simply dial 9 and then dial the telephone number
desired. If you assign additional lines to their telephones, users dial 88 to ac-
cess an available line assigned to that telephone. Be sure to assign inter-
changeable lines.
Peopl e with basic telephones cannot enter a password to make calls while Night
Service with Outward Restriction is in effect. If you use this feature and you want
these people to be able to make calls as they normally do while Night Service
is in effect, you must assign them to your Night Service Exclusion list.
Once you have assigned lines and line pools to a basic telephone, be sure to
provide the person using the telephone with a list of codes for the lines and line
pools to which he or she has access.
The attendant can use Centralized Voice Terminal Programming to program Per-
sonal Speed Dial for a basic telephone. The user accesses this feature using
the Speed Dial codes listed on page 121. Users can make these calls right after
they lift their handsets, since the system selects a line pool. If you have Dial Ac-
cess to Pools, the pool access code must be contained in the Personal Speed
Dial number.
. If you want to assign call restrictions to a basic telephone, follow the instruc-
tions in "Assigning Call Restrictions to Voice Terminals", page 46.
