In Key mode, the factory setting for personal lines assigns the first eight lines
connected to the system as personal lines on all multiline telephones, including
Multi-Function Modules (MFMs) connected to MLX telephones.
In Behind Switch mode, the factory setting assigns personal lines to DLC
positions rather than to multiline telephones.
Telephone Differences 30
Direct-Line Consoles 30
The factory setting for analog DLCs assigns the first 32 lines connected to the
system as personal lines in all modes of operation. For MLX DLCs, the first 18
lines connected to the system are automatically assigned as personal lines.
Queued Call Consoles 30
Personal lines cannot be assigned to a QCC or to a pool.
Other Multiline Telephones 30
A personal line is selected by pressing the associated personal line button.
Dial-out codes are not required for making outside calls.
Single-Line Telephones 30
A single-line telephone user can receive calls on a personal line. To allow a
single-line telephone user to select a personal line to make a call, Ringing/Idle
Line Preference must be turned on and ALS must be set to select an SA or ICOM
button. In Key and Behind Switch modes, the single-line telephone user with this
arrangement can select the personal line to make an outside call by dialing the
Idle Line Access code (usually
) while listening to inside dial tone.
Feature Interactions 30
Account Code Entry When Forced Account Code Entry is assigned to an extension and the
user tries to dial an outside call on a personal line button without entering
the account code, the call does not go through.
Alarm A line/trunk jack used for a maintenance alarm cannot be assigned as a
personal line.

A user with an outward- or toll-restricted extension cannot dial a toll or
outside number on a personal line button, unless the number is on an
Allowed List assigned to the extension. Nor can the user dial a number on
a Disallowed List.
Auto Dial An outside Auto Dial button can be used on a personal line.
Callback The Callback feature cannot be used to request a busy personal line.
