LINE POOLS
Line Pools are used in PBX phone systems to assign a group of CO lines to a station option. With
the VS1 System, you can assign up to 96 COs to a specific Line Pool. Generally, PBX phone
systems have a higher ratio of phones than actual CO ports. Pooling station users together for certain
ports gives them more equal access to those phone lines. If all the available CO ports are in use, the
VS1 System generates a busy signal, informing the caller that all the lines are in use at the time.
CO ports in a Line Pool are always arranged in reverse order (descending numbers). It is important
to remember this when assigning specific CO lines to ports. No matter what order you select CO
ports, the system always arranges outgoing calls to go out on Line Pools in reverse numerical order.
For example, if you have four CO lines, and you select all four for your Line Pool, the system sets
up the calls to go on CO line 4 first, then 3, 2, 1. Generally, incoming calls start at the top of the CO
ports and move down. Reverse numerical order helps reduce call crashing, or connecting to a call
without it ringing a station first.
