6 Managing the System
Assigning a HotLine Extension
!
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.
Personal Speed Dial code 01 may be programmed at a single-line telephone prior
to its assignment as a HotLine extension. When the system manager has used
system programming to make an extension a HotLine, there is only one
opportunity to program the necessary Personal Speed Dial code while at the
telephone. For security reasons, as long as the extension remains a HotLine, no
further programming is allowed at the extension, and changes to the speed dial
code must be made using centralized telephone programming.
Because HotLine extensions generally should not receive calls, consider
programming the single-line telephone for No Ring.
A single-line telephone without a dialpad can be used for many HotLine
applications. If the telephone has a dialpad, it allows dialing of digits after a call is
connected, in response to an automated attendant's prompts, for example.
Task List: Assigning a HotLine Extension
Assemble any required system planning forms, for example, System Form
4f, Tip/Ring Equipment.

section of System Programming , Chapter 3.
If necessary, assign or delete intercom or System Access buttons by
following the instructions in "Assign Intercom or System Access Buttons" in
the "Extensions" section of System Programming , Chapter 3.
Program Personal Speed Dial code 01 with the inside or outside number
required, including any ARS or other access codes as necessary. You can
use extension programming to program the code at the single-line
telephone, or you can program the number using centralized telephone
programming (see
If necessary, program the line at the extension for No Ring (see
