Configuring line access
Line access allows you to assign lines or line pools to individual telephones.
This section includes the following information:
• “Assigning line access” on page 406
• “Rules about assigning prime lines” on page 407
• “Assigning intercom (I/C) buttons (keys)” on page 408
You can copy line settings to other telephones using the Copy utility or by using the Edit DN
Record Template wizard. If you are assigning the same lines to a number of telephones, you can
set up a template with the Edit DN Record Template Wizard, and use the Add Users Wizard to
assign the settings to a range of telephones all at once. Refer to
“Editing DN Record Templates”
on page 381 and “Creating telephone records with the Add Users Wizard” on page 387 .
TIPS: Control telephone
• You must program external lines and telephones with a control telephone to use the Scheduled
Services: Ringing, Restriction, and Routing Services.
• Nortel Networks recommends that the control telephone you assign for all telephones (DNs) is
different from the control telephone you assign for the lines.
• You can turn on a service manually or automatically for all telephones controlled by a given
control telephone, but you cannot combine schedules. In other words, a service can only be
active as normal service or one of the six schedules at any one time. You can have several
schedules active, as long as they are using different services. The
Telephony Features
Handbook explains how to use schedules.
