Mode Differences

Hybrid/PBX Mode
2
The factory-set ALS sequence for multiline and single-line telephones includes
only SA buttons. Make outside calls by dialing the main pool dial-out code
(usually
70
) or Automatic Route Selection code (usually
9
).
In Release 3.0 and earlier systems, the factory setting gives users access to
pools. In Release 3.1 and later systems, the factory setting restricts access to
pools or Automatic Route Selection. In order for a user to access the main pool,
the system manager must use system programming to remove the restriction for
the specific extension.
Key Mode
2
The factory-set ALS sequence for multiline telephones (including DLCs) includes
only personal line buttons. Users can make inside calls by pressing an available
ICOM button before dialing.
The factory-set ALS sequence for single-line telephones includes only ICOM
buttons. Users can make outside calls by dialing the Idle Line Access code
(usually
9
).
Behind Switch Mode
2
The factory-set ALS sequence includes only the prime line. The sequence can be
changed to an ICOM line followed by the prime line or outside lines. This allows a
single-line telephone user to use system features and to select the prime line
and/or outside lines by dialing the Idle Line Access code (usually
9
).
Telephone Differences

Queued Call Consoles
2
The ALS sequence on a QCC starts at the lowest Call button and moves upward,
and Ringing/Idle Line Preference is on. Neither can be changed.
Other Multiline Telephones
2
The ALS sequence is assigned either through extension programming, using
programming codes only, or through centralized telephone programming.
