Hybrid/PBX mode allows outside lines/trunks to be grouped together in pools.
Users select lines/trunks by using SA buttons instead of having separate buttons
for each line/trunk in the system. To access pools using SA buttons, people dial
pool dial-out codes. Pools also can be assigned to buttons on one or more
telephones to allow a user to select the pool without dialing the pool dial-out code
or Automatic Route Selection (ARS) access code. In Release 3.1 and later
systems, the factory setting does not allow any extensions to use pool dial-out
codes. To allow a user to access a pool by entering a dial-out code, the system
manager must remove the restriction for the dial-out code and the extension.
When the system is set up and the Hybrid/PBX mode of operation is selected, the
system automatically groups lines/trunks into the following pools:
■
All loop-start lines (basic and special-purpose) are assigned to the main
pool. The factory-set extension number for the main pool is 70.
■
All ground-start trunks are assigned to the pool with the factory-set
extension number 890.
