Assigning Lines; Number Of Lines (#104) - Avaya PARTNER Advanced Communications System Installation And Use Manual

Assigning Lines

Use the feature Number of Lines (#104) to determine in Key mode the number of outside lines
that are automatically assigned to all system extensions, or to determine in Hybrid mode the
number of lines assigned to the main pool. After you use the Number of Lines feature, you can
use other features to refine the assignment of lines.
Line assignment is also based upon whether an extension is a Key or Pooled extension. Refine
the line assignment accordingly after you use the Number of Lines feature.

Number of Lines (#104)

Use this feature to determine in Key mode the number of outside lines that are automatically
assigned to all system extensions. In Hybrid mode, use this feature to determine the number of
lines assigned to the main pool. (This number does not have to match the actual number of lines
connected at the control unit.) This feature should be used only for initial system setup.
CAUTION:
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) after initial setup.
Considerations
You can use this feature to tell the system how many lines are actually connected at the
control unit. If you do not use this feature, the line numbers associated with empty jacks are
assigned to telephones as though there were actually lines connected.
You can use this procedure to limit the number of lines that are automatically assigned to all
extensions. For example, if there are ten lines connected to the control unit, you can use this
procedure to set the number of lines to eight, so that only the first eight lines are assigned to
all system extensions. You can then use Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines 9 and 10 to
specific extensions.
To change pool assignments without affecting other settings, use Pool Line Assignment
(#207) and Pool Extension Assignment (#314).
In Hybrid mode, do not use this feature to add lines to the system after initial setup, because it
changes the following features for existing pools back to factory settings:
— Pool Line Assignment
— Pool Extension Assignment
— Pool Access Restriction
— Automatic Line Selection
— Line Ringing
