22 Programming
Line Type
A type can be assigned to each line. The type defines how the
line is to be used in relation to other lines in the system. The
default type is Public. Other possible types are Private, Pool A,
Pool B and Pool C.
If you define a line as Public, the line can be accessed by
more than one telephone.
If you define a line as Private, the line can only be assigned
to one telephone.
If you assign a line to a Line Pool, that line can be available
to any telephone that is assigned access to that Line Pool.
If a line is assigned to one of the three Line Pools, but the
line is not assigned to any telephone, that line can only be
used for making outgoing calls.
If a line is assigned to one of the three Line Pools, you must
remember that there are still two more programming settings
that must be assigned before a Line Pool can be used:
l
You must assign Line Pool Access to telephones in Line
Access.
l
You must assign Line Pool Access codes in
Miscellaneous programming.
Prime telephone
The Prime telephone provides backup answering for the selected
line. The default Prime telephone has the internal number 21.
Other possible settings are any allowable internal numbers, or
None.
Each line can only have one Prime telephone.
Any Prime telephone can be assigned to provide backup
answering for more than one external line. All of these lines
do not necessarily have to appear on a line button with an .
indicator; however, monitoring lines is made easier if there is
a line button for every external line.
