Automatic Line selection is the programmed order in which the system makes
outside lines available to a user. A preferred Automatic Line Selection sequence
can be programmed for one to eight lines assigned to individual telephones.
When the user lifts the handset or presses the Speaker button (without manually
selecting a line), the system automatically connects the user to the first line in
the preferred sequence. If the first line in the programmed Automatic Line
Selection sequence is busy, the system connects the user to the second-choice
line, and so forth.
For example, if a user normaly makes toll calls, a WATS line assigned to the
station can be programmed as the first line in the sequence and local lines as
the second, third, etc. When the user lifts the handset or presses the Speaker
button, the WATS line, if available, is automatically selected.
To override Automatic Line Selection when another line is preferred, the multiline
user presses another line button (preselects the line manually) before lifting the
handset or pressing the Speaker button.
Automatic Line selection on a QCC is a fixed sequence that starts at the lower
Call button and moves upward.
On all other multiline telephones, the Automatic Line Selection is assigned by
using programming codes or on MLX display telephones by selecting the
feature from the display. Feature codes cannot be used.
When the programming code for Automatic Line Selection is entered, the
system clears the current Automatic Line Selection sequence and the green
LED for each line button goes off. As the user presses each line button to be
added to the sequence, the green LED flashes to indicate the line is
successfully added to the sequence.
