Assigning Telephone Buttons
Guidelines for Button Assignments
Use the following guidelines for assigning buttons to telephones or to adjuncts
connected to an MLX telephone.
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE:
When assigning buttons to telephones or adjuncts, keep in mind that BRI
lines are not automatically assigned to telephones or DLCs.
For multiline telephone users:
You can assign SA Voice, SA Ring, and SA Orig Only buttons and up to
27 SSA/SA buttons to each telephone. However, use the factory setting of
3 to ensure that when each user is busy on a call at least one additional
button is available to receive a call and another is available to make a call.
This leaves the rest of the buttons on multiline telephones free for
customizing.
If you plan to use Automatic Route Selection (ARS), consider keeping the
factory-set button assignments. Since ARS picks the appropriate route,
there is no need for Pool buttons.
Consider assigning SSA buttons to small groups of users who need to
answer and distribute each other's calls easily or to join conversations.
Each SSA button you assign corresponds to an SA Ring or SA Voice
button on another telephone. Therefore, to provide complete coverage
within the group, you must be sure that each SA Ring and SA Voice button
assigned to a telephone is also assigned to other members of the group.
Each SA Ring or SA Voice button on a telephone can be assigned as an
SSA button on up to 16 other telephones.
Assign a Pool button when a specific trunk pool (for example, BRI, WATS
or FX) is used frequently. Also consider assigning Pool buttons if you do
not plan to use ARS and the system includes only one or two pools. Do not
assign network pools to telephones.
Assign personal line buttons when an exclusive private number is needed,
for example, for a company executive. Any line/trunk connected to the
system can be used as a personal line as long as it is not in a trunk pool.
Do not assign network trunks to telephones.
NOTE:
On a DLC, there can be 10 System Access buttons (including
SA Orig Only), but no SSA buttons. On a QCC, no buttons can be
programmed, however, if the QCC Voice Announce feature has been
enabled, the Call5 button becomes a VA (Voice Announce) button.
