Direct Inward Line
A Direct Inward Line (DIL) is a line that rings your extension directly. Since your DIL only rings your extension, you will
always know which calls are for you. For example, you could have a Direct Inward Line to your phone for Sales Information.
When outside callers dial the DIL’s phone number, the call rings your Sales Information line key. The DIL does not ring
co-worker's extensions.
Night Mode Control
You can press DND to put your DIL in the night mode and send it to its night routing destination. For example, you can
send the Sales Information calls at night to voice mail. Pressing DND only affects your DIL, not other lines in the system.
(Note that Night Mode Control only works for DILs to your extension, not lines that use Line Scheduling. See your
communications manager for more.)
