Automatic Line Selection
Description
This Telephone Programming procedure determines the line a user is connected
to after lifting the handset or turning on the speaker to make a call. The system
looks for lines in the order specified by this procedure and selects the first
available line. For example, if you specify outside lines first for an extension, but
all outside lines are busy, the user will hear the intercom dial tone after lifting the
handset or turning on the speaker.
Related Features
To copy the Automatic Line Selection setting (as well as other system
settings) to other extensions, you can use
Forced Account Code Entry (#307)
Automatic Line Selection for that extension does not apply. This means the
user must
manually select a line after entering a required account code.
For an extension identified as an
, program the extension to select only the intercom, with no
outside lines in the selection sequence.
For an extension identified as an
, program the
extension to select outside lines first.
Considerations
This feature must be programmed from extension 10 or 11 only, using
Centralized Telephone Programming. Individual users cannot program this
feature directly.
You should program Automatic Line Selection when you first enter
Centralized Telephone Programming, before programming any other
features. However, if you want to program both Automatic Line Selection
and Extension Name Display (which also must be programmed when you
first enter Centralized Telephone Programming), first program Automatic
Line Selection, then exit and re-enter Centralized Telephone Programming
to program Extension Name Display.
For standard touch-tone or rotary phones, or for any phone 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 standard device) follows the automatic line selection for the
extension.
You do not need to include all available lines for an extension, only the ones
you want the system to search through and connect automatically.
