Features
Personal Lines
received on the line/trunk, the caller hears ringback even if that line/trunk does not
terminate anywhere in the system.
When an extension is programmed as the principal user (owner) of a personal
line, only the principal user can forward calls to an outside number by using
Remote Call Forwarding. When the owner has Individual or Group Coverage,
calls received on the personal line follow the owner's coverage and not the
coverage patterns of other extensions that share the personal line.
When no principal user is assigned for a personal line, calls received on the
personal line cannot be forwarded to outside telephone numbers or to non-local
extensions (Release 6.1 and later systems). Calls follow the Individual Coverage
patterns of all senders who share the line and the Group Coverage pattern of the
extension with the lowest logical identification number (lowest numbered jack on
the module).
Two users can join a call in progress (including a conference call), for up to three
users on the same personal line.
Outside lines/trunks used as personal lines cannot be assigned to pools and
cannot be assigned as jacks for loudspeaker paging, Music On Hold, or
maintenance alarms.
ARS cannot be used on personal lines.
In all modes, personal lines are not factory-assigned to single-line telephones or
tip/ring devices connected to 016 (T/R), 012, or 008 OPT modules.
In Release 2.1 and later systems, calls received on personal lines with Do Not
Disturb on go immediately to coverage instead of waiting for the Coverage Delay
Interval.
Mode Differences
Hybrid/PBX Mode
When Ringing/Idle Line Preference is turned on and ALS is set to select an SA
button, a single-line telephone user cannot select the personal line to make calls.
However, outside calls can be received on the personal line.
In Hybrid/PBX mode, the factory setting assigns personal lines to DLC positions
rather than to other multiline telephones.
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
3 0
3 0
3 0
) while listening to inside dial tone.
