Assigning Line Buttons in Hybrid/PBX Mode

The line buttons you can assign to data stations are as follows:
System Access Ring. Used to make and receive inside and outside data
calls. To make outside calls, the user selects an outside line/trunk by
dialing either the code for Automatic Route Selection (ARS) or the dial-out
code for the trunk pool. Users at ISDN terminal adapter data stations and
video endpoints can also dial the line/trunk number (801-880) to select an
outside line/trunk.
Personal Line. Used to make and receive outside data calls from a data
station on a specific outside line/trunk. A personal line is an outside
line/trunk assigned to a line button on one or more data or voice stations.
The outside line/trunk cannot be a member of a pool.
To dedicate an outside line/trunk for data calls and have the calls
automatically answered by data equipment, do not assign the same
outside line/trunk to both data equipment and telephones because
modems answer voice calls as data calls.
On analog voice-and modem data stations, a personal line can be used to
receive incoming calls. A personal line can be used for outgoing calls by
selecting the line button on the analog multiline telephone, dialing, and
then activating the modem connected through a GPA.
On ISDN terminal adapter data stations, a personal line can be used to
make and receive outside data calls. To select the line/trunk for an
outgoing call, the caller dials the line/trunk number (801–880). To allow the
user at an ISDN terminal adapter data station access to the digital network
for making and receiving calls to outside digital data stations, assign PRI,
NI-1 BRI, or T1 Switched 56 (including T1-Tie lines using Switched 56
service) facilities as personal lines.
Pool. Used when you want the voice and data station to make and receive
outside data calls on a specific trunk pool (for example, a pool with PRI
facilities) without dialing a dial-out code. The Pool button is used to make
and receive only outside calls. Automatic Line Selection should be set to
the Pool button in order to place calls on it.
NOTES:
1. Do not assign System Access Voice (SA Voice) buttons to data
communications equipment.
2. You must use PRI facilities with a digital data service such as ACCUNET
Switched Digital Service, a Software Defined Network (SDN), T1
Switched 56 facilities, or NI-1 BRI facilities for digital data calls.
3. T1 facilities that are not using Switched 56 service can be used for
modem data and analog voice calls and can be assigned to telephones to
allow the voice user to make and receive voice calls using these types of
facilities.
