Personal Lines
DESCRIPTION
When the system administrator assigns lines to voice terminals, he or she can
select lines that will serve as personal lines for individuals in the business,
such as the president of the company. No one else has these lines on his or
her voice terminal. Calls that come in on these personal lines will not ring at
other voice terminals or at the attendant's console.
CONSIDERATIONS
A secretary can cover calls that come in on his or her boss' personal line by
having the line assigned to his or her own voice terminal and programming
the line for immediate ring. At the boss' voice terminal, the line can be
programmed for delayed ring. A secretary can screen calls that come in on
the personal line by programming the line on the boss' voice terminal to
delayed ring or no ring and programming the line at his or her own voice
terminal for immediate ring. (See "Ringing Options")
ADMINISTRATION
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
