In the "Intercom No. " column . . .
Find the intercom numbers for the voice terminals you want to program
with special line selection sequences.
Write the line selection sequences in the appropriate spaces in the
"Automatic Line Selection Sequence" column. (For example, if you want
the voice terminal with intercom number 14 to have the automatic line
selection sequence D, C, A, B, write DCAB in the space for intercom
number 14 in the "Automatic Line Selection Sequence" column.)
Unless you program the voice terminal line buttons differently, calls coming in
on each outside line ring immediately at every voice terminal with a line
button for that line. But you can program voice terminal line buttons so that
calls coming in on the lines assigned to those buttons will ring either after a
delay or not at all.
Those people with primary responsibility for answering calls coming in on a
shared line should have the button for that line programmed for immediate
ring.
Those people with backup responsibility for answering calls coming in on a
shared line should have the button for that line programmed for delayed ring.
Then a call coming in on that line will ring only after it has gone unanswered
elsewhere for two rings.
Those people who do not answer incoming calls on a shared line (for example,
someone whose calls are screened) should have the button for that line
programmed for no ring. This option is also useful for a voice terminal
located in a lobby or conference room.
NOTE: Even though a line button has been programmed for delayed
ring or no ring, the green light next to the button still begins to flash
immediately when a call comes in on the line.
To the right of each intercom number, in the boxes containing check
marks . . .
Write in the appropriate letter from the following list to indicate the
ringing option you want for each line.
R
= Immediate Ring
D
= Delayed Ring
N = No Ring
You should now have a completed Line Assignments Form. Keep it in a place
where you can find it when you want to administer the system or program
individual voice terminals.
