Initial Telephone Programming
Automatic Line Selection
5-3
If a single-line telephone user intends to place intercom calls and access system features,
Automatic Line Selection for his or her extension should be set to intercom first for proper
operation. For example, the setting for a single-line telephone in a lobby used for internal calling or
making local calls on Line 1, would be “Intercom, 1.”
Considerations
5
■
If Forced Account Code Entry (#307) is assigned to an extension, Automatic Line
Selection for that extension does not apply. This means the user must manually select a line
or pool after entering a required account code.
■
For an extension identified as a Hotline (#603) or Doorphone Extension (#604/#605),
program the extension to select only the intercom, with no outside lines in the selection
sequence.
■
For an extension identified as an External Hotline (#311), program the extension to select
outside lines or pools first.
■
For single-line touch-tone or rotary telephones, or for any telephone used mainly to call other
extensions, program the extension to select intercom first.
■
For combination extensions, the Automatic Line Selection for both devices (including a tip/
ring device) follows the automatic line selection for the extension.
■
You do not need to include all available lines or pools for an extension, only the ones you want
the system to search through and connect automatically.
