Using Auxiliary Equipment
4-20
To Program:
1. If extension X is a key extension, use Line Assignment (#301) to assign
one or more lines to extension X (including line A).
If extension X is a pooled extension, use Pool Line Assignment (#207) to
remove line A from all pools. Then use Pool Extension Assignment
(#314) to assign pools to extension X. Also use Line Assignment (#301)
to assign line A and any other individual lines to extension X.
2. For extension X, set Automatic Line Selection to select pools and outside
lines first (line A selected first).
For all other extensions, set Automatic Line Selection so that line A is the
last line in the select sequence. That way, the modem line is used for
outgoing voice calls only when all other lines are busy.
3. Set Line Ringing for line A at extension X to Immediate Ring. Set all other
lines or pools assigned to extension X to No Ring. (For all other extensions,
set line A to No Ring.)
4. Set Automatic Extension Privacy (#304) for extension X to Assigned.
5. Make sure extension X is not assigned as a Call Waiting (#316) extension,
Pickup Group Extension (#501), Calling Group Extension (#502), Night
Service Group Extension (#504), or Hunt Group Extension (#505).
Night Service with Auxiliary Equipment
You can set up modems, fax machines, and answering machines to receive calls
automatically after hours. When Night Service is on, calls ring immediately at the
appropriate extensions, so that no human intervention is required to transfer calls
to the fax, modem, or answering machine. When Night Service is off, you can use
the auxiliary equipment lines for normal business purposes, so that lines are
dedicated to auxiliary equipment
only
after hours.
NOTE:
With the exception of headphones, auxiliary equipment works only on Tip
Ring ports (the bottom two ports of the PARTNER Endeavor 362 processor
or 362EC expansion module). Because headphones do not require a ring,
they can be plugged into any port.
By putting auxiliary equipment in the Night Service Group as described in this
section, auxiliary equipment can start ringing and answering calls whenever you
turn Night Service on. In other words, the Night Service button at extension 10
acts like a switch, turning auxiliary equipment on and off, as well as putting the
system into Night Service.
NOTE:
If you have a voice messaging system, turning Night Service on
also
activates Night Service operation of the voice messaging system.
