Program 32 Automatic Preference
System & Station
Strata DK40 Programming Manual Spring 1999

Program 32 Overview
This program defines whether, internal dial tone, or which Exchange line, a digital or
electronic telephone will automatically select when the telephone handset is taken off-hook,
or the
6SNU
button is used.
The Intercom, lowest Exchange line, or Line Group is selected only if the telephone is not
ringing when it is taken off-hook (no
6SNU
pressed). If a telephone is ringing, the [PDN]
Auto Preference, or outgoing Exchange line is cancelled. In this case, no selection is made if
Ring Line Preference is disabled; the ring line is selected if Ringing Line Preference is
enabled.
With Ringing Line Preference, a digital or electronic telephone user, by, going off-hook (or
by pressing the
6SNU
button), may be automatically connected to the lowest line ringing in,
without having to press an Exchange
/LQH
button or dial an access code.
If no lines are ringing and an electronic or digital telephone goes off-hook, the station can be
automatically connected to Intercom or to a line. The line connected can be the lowest
numbered line available on the telephone or the highest idle line from a selected group.
Notes
◆
Program 32 does not apply to standard telephones. To allow system features to be
accessed, standard telephones always receive system internal dial tone when
originating calls.
◆
If ringing line preference is not selected, no auto preference selection will occur
when a station goes off hook during an incoming ring condition.
◆
For DKT2001-F handsets, ensure DATA=101.
