When a display telephone user selects a Pool button and lifts the
handset, the display shows the label (if programmed) for the lines in the
selected pool.
A pool can be used to select the facility for forwarding calls to an outside
telephone number. The user enters the pool dial-out code before the
telephone number.
Lines/trunks assigned to pools can be assigned to ring into a calling
group. An incoming call on a line/trunk assigned to the pool rings on an
SA button even if the calling group member has a Pool button assigned
to his or her telephone.
A HotLine extension (Release 5.0 and later systems) can use a pool, as
long as dial-access-to-pools is enabled for the extension and the Pool
access code is programmed with the outside number as the first Personal
Speed Dial number for the extension.
Line Request cannot be used on a Pool button.
Line/trunk jacks used for Music On Hold cannot be assigned to pools.
Line/trunk jacks for loudspeaker paging cannot be assigned to pools.
A personal line cannot be assigned to a pool.
Data lines (especially T1 data) should not be put in the same pool as
voice lines. System alarms eventually result if voice extensions try to
access data lines.
If a user presses the Recall button during or after dialing, a timed flash is
sent to the host switch, the accessed line is kept, the user hears dial tone,
and calling restrictions are reapplied.
A pool dial-out code can be included with the telephone number
associated with a Personal Speed Dial or System Speed Dial code.
However, depending on the local telephone company, Pause characters
may be required immediately following the pool dial-out code. Enter
Pause characters by pressing the Hold button.
When outgoing calls are made by using a pool, the line/trunk selected by
the system is reported on the SMDR report.
Pool dial-out codes (the factory-set codes are 70 and 890–899) can be
renumbered.
