Line/trunk keys
Line keys can be configured on the programmable function keys on a
OpenScape Desk Phone CP100. Each key that is assigned the function
"line" is handled as a line. This means up to four lines can be
confCP100igured.
A distinction is made between primary and secondary lines. Each of
these line types can be used on a private or shared basis
Line keys are configured by your administrator.
The following diagram shows how telephones with multiple line keys
are connected in a team.
3234 is Mr. Matthews' phone number, 3235 is Mr. Miller's phone num-
ber and 3236 is Mr. Saddler's phone number. On all three phones, calls
can be made via all three lines. The line for your own extension num-
ber is always the primary line however.
Primary line
All multi-line telephones have a primary line. This line can be reached
in the usual manner via your public phone number. Incoming calls to
your number are signaled on this line.
Secondary line
The secondary line on your phone is used as a primary line by another
subscriber in the system. Your main line can be configured at the same
time as a secondary line on another phone in the system.
To avoid conflict between the individual multi-line phones, the
functions "Do not disturb" and "Call forwarding" can only be used
for the primary line.
