Personal Lines
When no principal user is assigned for a personal line, calls received on the
personal line cannot be forwarded to outside telephone numbers. Calls follow the
Individual Coverage patterns of all senders who share the line and the Group
Coverage pattern of the extension with the lowest logical identification number
(lowest numbered jack on the module).
Two users can join a call in progress (including a conference call), for up to three
users on the same personal line.
Outside lines/trunks used as personal lines cannot be assigned to pools and
cannot be assigned as loudspeaker paging, Music On Hold, or maintenance
alarm jacks.
Automatic Route Selection (ARS) cannot be used on personal lines.
In all modes, personal lines are not factory-assigned to single-line telephones or
tip/ring devices connected to 016, 012, or 008 OPT modules.
In Release 2.1 and later systems, calls received on personal lines with Do Not
Disturb on go immediately to coverage instead of waiting for the Coverage Delay
Interval.

When Ringing/Idle Line Preference is turned on and ALS is set to select an SA
button, a single-line telephone user cannot select the personal line to make calls.
However, outside calls can be received on the personal line.
In Hybrid/PBX mode, the factory setting assigns personal lines to DLC positions
rather than to other multiline telephones.

When Ringing/Idle Line Preference is turned on and ALS is set for an ICOM
button, a single-line user can select the personal line to make an outside call by
dialing the Idle Line Access code (usually
9
) while listening to inside dial tone.
In Key mode, the factory setting for personal lines assigns the first eight lines
connected to the system as personal lines on all multiline telephones, including
Multi-Function Modules (MFMs) connected to MLX telephones.
In Behind Switch mode, the factory setting assigns personal lines to DLC
positions rather than to multiline telephones.
