HotLine Feature
The Release 5.0 HotLine feature is designed for retail sales, catalogue sales, and
other types of businesses and organizations and is available in all three modes of
system operation. It allows a system manager to program a single-line telephone
extension connected to an 008 OPT, 012, or 016 module as a HotLine. When a
user lifts the handset at the HotLine extension, the telephone automatically dials
the inside extension or outside telephone number programmed as the first
Personal Speed Dial number (code #01) for the extension. The system does not
permit calls to be transferred, put on hold, or conferenced. (A user can press the
telephone's Hold button, if it has one, to put a call on local hold, but the call
cannot be redirected in any way. Switchhook flashes are ignored.)
Personal Speed Dial codes can be programmed from the extension prior to
HotLine assignment (a system programming function). Alternatively, a Personal
Speed Dial code can be programmed from the single-line telephone after HotLine
operation is assigned. However, because of security considerations, this is a one-
time opportunity. Once the Personal Speed Dial number is programmed, any
changes to it or any other extension programming must be performed using
centralized telephone programming.
Any type of inside or outside line that is normally available to a single-line
telephone can be assigned to a HotLine extension. Generally, the HotLine
telephone does not receive calls, and its lines should be set to No Ring.
!
SECURITYlALERT:
If a HotLine extension accesses a loop-start line, that line should provide
reliable disconnect and be programmed for reliable disconnect. Otherwise,
a user at the extension may be able to stay on the line after a call is
completed and then make a toll call.
