Pooled CO Lines

A "CO line group" and a "CO line pool" are the same except a pool of CO lines can appear under
one CO line button on a telephone. CO lines can be pooled in categories. For example, all WATS
lines of the same type can be in one pool, all regular CO lines in another, and all Tie lines to the
same destination in a third. Pooled and single-appearing line buttons are designed for use with
loop- and ground-start lines, not DID, Tie, DNIS, or ANI lines.
The number of CO line groups available on Strata DK systems are as follows:
DK14 – 4
DK40i – 8
DK424 with RCTUA or RCTUBA/BB – 8
DK424 with RCTUC/D or RCTUE/F – 16
Each CO line pooled group can appear on up to four Pooled Line Grp (group) buttons on a digital
telephone. This enables the user to process several calls in that CO line group at the same time. If a
station user regularly processes more than one call at a time, Toshiba recommends that the station
be assigned more than one Pooled Line Grp button.
It is also recommended to separate incoming and outgoing CO lines into separate groups. This
prevents the accidental pickup of incoming calls when making outgoing calls.
Benefits
Provides the use of less expensive 10-button telephones instead of 20-button telephones for access
to the same number of CO lines.
The Pooled Line Grp button also offers "hybrid" type system operation, even while configured for
"key" operation. This also enables the Strata DK to compete more cost effectively against hybrids.
