Line Assignment (#301)
4-47
Considerations 4
■ You cannot assign a line that belongs to a pool as an individual line on that pooled extension.
■ A line must be assigned to a button with lights. If a line is assigned to a button without lights,
you cannot access that line, nor can you program anything else on the button.
■ You can assign multiple lines (up to 31) to a standard telephone, but a single-line telephone
can handle only one call at a time. To make a call, you lift the handset and dial 9 at the
intercom dial tone; the system selects the first available line based on the Automatic Line
Selection programmed for the extension. (Alternatively, you can use Direct Line Pickup to
access a specific line.)
■ Use Number of Lines (#104) only during initial system setup to assign a subset of lines to all
extensions. Use Line Assignment to assign additional lines to specific extensions. For
example, if five lines were assigned to all extensions using Number of Lines (#104) and there
are eight lines in the system, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines 6, 7, and 8 to
specific extensions.
■ After you finish Line Assignment, use Line Ringing to identify when each outside line
assigned to an extension should start ringing. If you add a line to the system, its factory setting
is Immediate Ring.
■ Use Automatic Line Selection to determine the order in which the system selects a line for
an extension when the user at that extension lifts the handset or turns on the speaker to make
a call. If you add a line to the system, it becomes the last line in the selection sequence.
Programming 4
To assign lines to a specific extension:
1. Press
f00ss#301 at extension 10 or 11.
2. Enter the extension number to be programmed. For example, to program extension 15, press
15. The red light next to each button that has a line assigned is on steady; the red light next
to each button that has a pool assigned flashes.
3. To remove all existing line assignments, press r before selecting a line.
4. Enter the line number to be assigned. For example, to select line 1, press
01.
5. Do one of the following:
■ If you want to assign the line to the first available button with lights, press D until the
display reads:
Line Assignment 15 L01
1 Assigned
1 Assigned is the factory setting.
■ If you want to remove a line assignment, press D until a display like the following
appears:
Line Assignment 15 L01
2 Not Assigned
