Line assignment
Any of the lines in your system can be assigned to any of your telephones.
Your installer or customer service representative assigns lines to
telephones in
Configuration
programming. Lines can be assigned to
appear only, appear and ring, or to ring only.
Usually, only the lines that are appropriate for a particular person appear at
that person’s telephone. When a line is assigned to a telephone it is
automatically given a line button on that telephone, if a button is available.
The M7100 T7100 telephones do not have line buttons.
Calls on lines that ring but do not appear at a telephone are presented at an
intercom button.
You may be able to answer a call on a line that does not appear or ring at
your telephone. To pick up such a call, use Call Pickup, Call Park, or Trunk
Answer.
A telephone may have buttons assigned for lines 001 to 003, but have only
lines 001 and 002 programmed to ring as well. An incoming call on any of
the three lines causes a line button indicator to flash, and the telephone can
be used to answer the call. This is especially useful for people who monitor
other telephone lines, but want only their own lines to ring.
Target line
A target line is used to route a call directly to a particular telephone or
group of telephones.
Target lines (061-086) are used only for incoming calls and appear on the
Intercom button. A single incoming line may provide connections to
several different target lines. This allows each person or department in the
office to have their own number without having a separate external line for
each number.
Note: Although target lines can be set to Private (default is Public), features
such as Call Pickup can still answer these calls at remote telephones.
