ARS ensures appropriate and cost-effective use of pools. ARS and the
dial-access-to-pools restriction function independently of each other. If
ARS restrictions are programmed to allow access to a pool, the user may
seize a pool that the extension is not allowed to use under existing pool
dial-access restrictions.
In Hybrid/PBX mode, Callback can be used to complete calls to outside
numbers only when all lines/trunks in the pool are busy.
If the LS-ID Delay option is programmed on a two-way line, the system
does not seize a line from a pool for an outgoing call when that line is
receiving an incoming call.
Specific pools can be restricted from use for outgoing calls by assigning a
pool dial-out code restriction to extensions. In Release 3.1 and later
systems, the factory setting is for all pool dial-out codes to be restricted
for all users.
Calls received on a sender's Pool button programmed for Immediate
Ring or Delay Ring are eligible for Individual or Group Coverage.
When an MLX extension is programmed as a CTI link, dial access to
pools is removed from the extension.
If a videoconferencing system is programmed to have a single Pool
button, two calls to that pool result in a 1B data call. However, if two
separate pools are assigned to a videoconferencing system extension,
then a 2B data call can be established. If the communications system
includes two or more 2B data devices that share the same two pools,
incoming 2B data calls can be answered by the wrong device.
When a pool dial-out code is included in the telephone number for a
Personal or System Directory listing, Pause characters may be required
following the pool dial-out code, depending on the local telephone
company. Pause characters are entered by pressing the Hold button.
When a display telephone user selects a Pool button and lifts the
handset, the display shows the label (if programmed) for the lines in the
selected pool.
A pool can be used to select the facility for forwarding calls to an outside
telephone number. The user enters the pool dial-out code before the
telephone number.
Lines/trunks assigned to pools can be assigned to ring into a calling
group. An incoming call on a line/trunk assigned to the pool rings on an
SA button, even if the calling group member has a Pool button assigned
to his or her telephone.
A HotLine extension (Release 5.0 and later systems) can use a pool, as
long as dial-access-to-pools is enabled for the extension and the Pool
access code is programmed with the outside number as the first Personal
Speed Dial number for the extension.
Line Request cannot be used on a Pool button.
Line/trunk jacks used for Music On Hold cannot be assigned to pools.
Line/trunk jacks for loudspeaker paging cannot be assigned to pools.
