Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line (I8LL)
Description
This feature allows users to access a specific outside line (where
LL
is a system
line number) when the line is not in use. This feature is useful for accessing a line
that is not assigned to the phone.
Related Features
■ If a line is
in use,
users cannot access it with this feature (they hear busy
tone). For information about accessing a ringing or held call, or joining a
call in progress, see Direct Line Pickup—Active Line.
■ If Line Access Restriction (#302) or pool Access Restriction (#315) is set
to No Access or In Only for a line assigned to an extension or lines within a
pool, a user at the restricted extension hears busy tone if Direct Line
Pickup is used to access that line to place a call.
Considerations
■ This procedure applies to individual lines. If you have a pooled extension
and you want to access lines in pools that are not assigned to your
extension, dial the pool access code at intercom dial tone.
■ You can program a Direct Line Pickup—Idle Line button on a system phone
to pick up a line by pressing the button then dialing the two-digit line
number.
