Assigned Personal Lines
Description
A personal line, also called a direct facility termination (DFT), is an outside
line/trunk assigned to a button on one or more telephones or to another type of
extension, such as a data communications device. A personal line can provide
either the shared or exclusive use of a specific line/trunk. In Hybrid/PBX mode, a
personal line allows users to receive outside calls without operator involvement.
When a personal line is assigned to more than one extension, a principal user of
the personal line can be assigned through system programming. Assigning an
extension as the principal user has the following effects:
If Remote Call Forwarding is enabled for the extension, only the principal
user can forward personal line calls to an outside telephone number.
Unless the personal line is set to No Ring, calls received on the personal
line follow the principal user's Individual or Group Coverage patterns.
Select a personal line to make or receive outside calls by pressing the associated
personal line button on a multiline telephone; a dial-out code is not needed. When
the line is in use, the green LED is on at all multiline telephones that share the
personal line. Inside calls cannot be made or received on a personal line.
When two or more users answer the same call on a Shared SA or personal line
button, the red and green LEDs next to the button go on, but only one person has
a talk path with the caller. Privacy should be used to eliminate competition for the
same call.
