MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Release 7.0
Feature Reference 555-670-110
Features
HotLine
Many features cannot be used at HotLine extensions—for example, Last Number
Dial, Saved Number Dial, Pickup, and Park. Features not normally available to
single-line telephones (such as Do Not Disturb) are also not available to HotLine
extensions. Other features such as calling restrictions and ARS, however, can be
used at HotLine extensions. See the "Feature Interactions" topic in this section for
more information.
A HotLine telephone cannot be connected to a Multi-Function Module (MFM) or
General Purpose Adapter (GPA).
Telephone Differences
Only single-line telephones or tip/ring devices can be HotLine extensions.

HotLine extensions cannot use Account Code Entry.
Allowed and Disallowed Lists can be assigned to HotLine extensions.
A HotLine extension can use an ARS access code if it is programmed into
the Personal Speed Dial number.
You can barge into HotLine calls.
Callback is not intended for HotLine extensions. Automatic Callback,
however, may be used, if programmed, for inside and ARS (Hybrid/PBX
mode only) calls. Selective Callback is also available.
Call Waiting can be activated for a HotLine extension, but you cannot put
the current call on hold and pick up a waiting call. Instead, you must hang
up the current call and wait for the call-waiting call to ring.
HotLine calls can be camped onto, but a HotLine extension cannot camp
on to calls.
Conference is not available at HotLine extensions.
Calling restrictions can be programmed for HotLine extensions.
Coverage features are not recommended for HotLine extensions.
Extension Status is not recommended for HotLine extensions, because a
HotLine extension cannot dial the # codes needed to change the
Extension Status.
The FRL value for Hotline extensions should be set to 6 to enable
unrestricted access between private network switches.
Forward/Follow Me and Remote Call Forwarding are not intended for
HotLine extensions (Release 5.0 and later systems). Sometimes,
however, they may be inadvertently programmed at a Hotline extension;
Forward/Follow Me and Remote Call Forwarding should be removed.
