If the jack is programmed for 2B data, renders the 2B data programming
nonfunctional. The 2B data programming is not removed from the main or
adjunct extension. If you want to use 2B data, reassign the feature to
another port. See
System Programming

assigning 2B data.

Considerations and Constraints
9
The Transfer and Conference features, when activated manually (using the
telephone) at a non-operator extension do
not
provide the original caller’s
information to the recipient who has screen-pop capability.
Some CTI applications may initiate screen pops for all calls, even those answered
at the telephone on a line button other than an SA button. Screen pop, in this
case, occurs only after a call is answered. In addition, if a call does not come in on
an SA button, the CTI application cannot handle basic call control for that call. The
user must perform these actions manually, using the telephone.
When a DLC is not using a CTI application, calls transferred from a DLC’s
programmed Cover button do not initiate screen pop, even when the destination is
a screen-pop-capable extension
CTI link extensions cannot be programmed on tip/ring or analog multiline
telephone module ports. You must choose an extension that is on an MLX port
module (008 MLX or 408 MLX).
You cannot program the first or fifth port on an MLX module as the CTI link
extension, because these ports are reserved for operator positions.
