Line pools
A line pool is a group of external lines that can be shared by
many telephones. You can use a line in a line pool to make an
external call.
The MICS system can have 15 line pools, and a telephone can
be programmed to access any number of them.
A line pool access code is a number you dial to get a line pool.
The access code can be up to four digits long. You can have
several different line pools for your system, each one giving
you access to a different set of external lines. It is one way of
sharing lines across telephones in a system.
Your installer or customer service representative programs the
line pool access codes and gives each telephone access to a
line pool.
Everyone in the office should have a list of the line pool access
codes for the line pools their telephones can use.
