Number of Lines (#104)
Description
This feature should be used only for initial system setup.
This System Programming procedure determines in Key mode the number of
outside lines that are automatically assigned to all system extensions; in Hybrid
mode, it determines the number of lines assigned to the main pool. (This number
does not have to match the actual number of lines connected at the control unit.)
This feature should be used only for initial system setup.

WARNING:
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) after initial setup. This feature should only be
used for initial system setup. Please read the following information carefully.
In Hybrid mode, do not use this procedure if you add lines to the system after
initial setup, because it changes Pool Line Assignment (#207), Pool Extension
Assignment (#314), Pool Access Restriction (#315), Automatic Line
Selection, and Line Ringing for existing pools back to factory settings.
Additionally, it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction
(#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for individual lines back to
factory settings. To change pool assignments without affecting other settings, use
Pool Line Assignment (#207) and Pool Extension Assignment (#314).
In Key mode, do not use this procedure if you add lines to the system after initial
setup, because it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line Access Restriction
(#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for existing lines back to
factory settings. To change line assignments without affecting other settings, use
Line Assignment (#301).
Considerations
■ You can use this feature to tell the system how many lines are actually
connected at the control unit. For example, if some line jacks do not have
lines connected, use this procedure to indicate the number of jacks that
actually have lines connected; otherwise the line numbers associated with
empty jacks would be assigned to phones as though there were actually
lines connected.
■ You can use this procedure to limit the number of lines that are
automatically assigned to all extensions. For example, if there are ten lines
connected to the control unit, you can use this procedure to set the number
of lines to eight, so that only the first eight lines are assigned to all system
extensions. You can then use Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines 9
and 10 to specific extensions.
