Automatic Line Selection
DESCRIPTION
You can program the order in which your system makes lines available to you
for outside calls. For example, if you usually make long distance calls, you
might specify a WATS line as the first line in your Automatic Line Selection.
Whenever you lift your handset or touch Speakerphone, the system connects
you to the WATS line, unless you select another line manually. If the first
line in your Automatic Line Selection sequence is busy, the system connects
you to your second choice line, and so forth.
You can place up to eight lines in an Automatic Line Selection sequence.
CONSIDERATIONS
You can include either outside lines or intercom lines in the sequence, but
you should not mix the two types of lines.
If your system is set for Dial Access for Line Pools or for Automatic Route
Selection, you probably won’t need Automatic Line Selection, unless you
have a private line.
If you plan to program other features when you program Automatic Line
Selection, you must program Automatic Line Selection first. If you’re
already in the middle of a programming session, leave and reenter
programming mode before you program Automatic Line Selection.
