UNDERSTANDING TELEPHONE LINES
Your System Administrator should have told you which phone lines you can access
from your phone and what kind of lines they are. Each phone number that goes into
your phone (for example, 555-9999, -8888, -7777, etc.) should be written on a
button. Depending on your needs, you may have a special line type assigned to
you such as a WATS line or a personal line. The corresponding button should be
labeled to identify what kind of line it is.
If the phone you have is for internal use only, no outside phone lines should be
listed on it.
Examples of different kinds of line assignments could include those shown in
Illustration 2.

ILLUSTRATION 2: SAMPLE LINE ASSIGNMENT
Your System Administrator also should have set up which line the system automat-
ically selects first, second, third, etc., when you place a call.
You can see which line was programmed as “first choice” for your phone by picking
up the handset. The green light goes on next to the “first choice” line (or the “next
choice” line).
