Features
Personal Lines
Key and Behind Switch Modes
When Ringing/Idle Line Preference is turned on and ALS is set for an ICOM
button, a single-line user can select the personal line to make an outside call by
dialing the Idle Line Access code (usually 9) while listening to inside dial tone.
In Key mode, the factory setting for personal lines assigns the first eight lines
connected to the system as personal lines on all multiline telephones, including
Multi-Function Modules (MFMs) connected to MLX telephones.
In Behind Switch mode, the factory setting assigns personal lines to DLC
positions rather than to multiline telephones.
Telephone Differences
Direct-Line Consoles
The factory setting for analog DLCs assigns the first 32 lines connected to the
system as personal lines in all modes of operation. For MLX DLCs, the first 18
lines connected to the system are automatically assigned as personal lines.
Queued Call Consoles
Personal lines cannot be assigned to a QCC or to a pool.
Other Multiline Telephones
A personal line is selected by pressing the associated personal line button.
Dial-out codes are not required for making outside calls.
Single-Line Telephones
A single-line telephone user can receive calls on a personal line. To allow a
single-line telephone user to select a personal line to make a call, Ringing/Idle
Line Preference must be turned on and ALS must be set to select an SA or ICOM
button. In Key and Behind Switch modes, the single-line telephone user with this
arrangement can select the personal line to make an outside call by dialing the
Idle Line Access code (usually 9) while listening to inside dial tone.
Feature Interactions
Account Code Entry
Alarm
When Forced Account Code Entry is assigned to an extension and the user
tries to dial an outside call on a personal line button without entering the
account code, the call does not go through.
A line/trunk jack used for a maintenance alarm cannot be assigned as a
personal line.
