Expanding the Epic System
59
IMPORTANT NOTE
If you plan to connect any private or auxiliary lines to your system, please refer to the worksheet
on page 3, and use it as a guide as you connect the telephone lines to your Epic telephones.
Then you must set each line at each station, so the system can know how the lines are con-
nected, and function properly. To do this, go to each station, and follow the instructions found
on page 19.
Auxiliary Lines
You may connect auxiliary lines to Lines 2, 3 or 4 at each station. An auxiliary line is a telephone
number that is shared by two or more stations, but which is a different telephone number than the
corresponding line at the other stations. You can have up to one auxiliary Line 2, one auxiliary Line
3, and up to two auxiliary Line 4’s.
The Chart below shows an installation where a group of stations shares an auxiliary Line 3. This
configuration is useful for workgroups within a company, such as a sales department. Note that in
this example, calls coming in on Lines 1, 2, and 4 could be transferred to any station, but calls
coming in on Line 3 could only be transferred or taken off of hold by stations within their own
group. If this company would like to be able to transfer calls on the L3 AUX telephone number to
a station with the Shared Line 3 telephone number, they would need to subscribe to a service such
as Centrex from their local telephone company.
