Description 31
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 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.
