Programming 9
To program a modem for sending only:
1. Do one of the following:
■ If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign one or more
lines to extension X.
■ If extension X is a pooled extension, use Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign
the pools you want the modem to use to extension X. Also use Line Assignment (#301)
to assign any individual lines you want the modem to use to extension X.
2. If the modem only dials outside the system, set Automatic Line Selection for extension X to
select outside lines first. If you also use the modem for calls within the system, set Automatic
Line Selection to select intercom first and include a 9 or a pool access code and a couple of
pauses in the modem’s dialing sequence for outside calls.
3. Set Line Ringing for all lines and pools assigned to extension X to No Ring.
4. Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.
5. Set the auto answer feature of the modem to Off.
Send and Receive Modem 9
If you need to place and receive calls with the modem, use the setup shown in Figure 9-13. This
setup makes line A the primary modem line but keeps the line available for users at other
extensions when all other lines are busy.

Make sure extension Y is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension, Pickup
