Tie Lines
Availability: DS2000 only.
Tie lines directly link a local DS2000 telephone system with one
or more remote DS2000 systems. The link is independent of the
telco's switched network. When a local system user seizes a tie
line, they hear Intercom dial tone from the remote system. The user can then use whatever features
are normally available to the remote system’s single line telephones, including:
● Dialing Intercom extensions in the remote system.
● Using the remote system's trunks for outgoing calls.
● Accessing System Speed Dial bins in the remote system.
● Using the remote system’s Paging.
Tie Lines require a T1 PCB and Tie Line service from the telco.
Feature Quick Steps
Tie Line callers can use many of the features available to on-premise analog single line extensions.

The System Administrator can change the time and date from the system programming mode.
Although the data is entered in 24-hour format, it always displays in 12-hour format (e.g., 1300 =

Toll Restriction
Availability: All versions.
Toll Restriction limits the numbers an extension user may dial.
By allowing extensions to place only certain types of calls, the
System Administrator can control long distance costs. The system
applies Toll Restriction according to an extension’s Toll Restric-
tion Level. For each of the 7 Toll Restriction Levels, the System Administrator can enable or dis-
able the following options.
Link two systems together
for inter-system Intercom
calling and other features.
The time and date shows on
telephone displays and
prints on system reports.
Use Toll Restriction to help
you control the costs of
outgoing long distance calls.
