Line Access, Automatic - Panasonic KX-TD816 Features Manual

General Features

Line Access, Automatic

Description
Allows the extension user to dial the automatic line access number and access an idle line from
the outside line groups assigned for the extension. The proprietary telephone user can use the
Loop-CO button in place of the access number.
Conditions
• This feature functions with Automatic Route Selection (ARS), if ARS is activated. If so, the
least expensive route is automatically selected.
• Each extension is subject to System Programming items for outside lines available to
access.
• An idle outside line is selected from the outside line groups assigned to the extension. If one
outside line group is available, an idle line is selected from that group. If multiple outside
line groups are available, the outside line group hunting sequence is determined by System
Programming.
• This feature requires a CO button (Group-CO, Loop-CO or Single-CO) assignment on a
proprietary telephone (PT). Dialing the line access code selects a CO button on a PT
according to the priority:
Single-CO > Group-CO > Loop-CO
(on a hunted outside line or outside line group)
• If Idle Line Preference — Outgoing is set on the telephone, the user can access a free line
only by going off-hook.
• The system waits for a programmed time before dialing after an outside line is seized.
