Pooled Extensions
Use this section to add new lines to existing pools if your system is configured for
Hybrid mode. To assign a new line to a pooled extension as an individual line,
follow the procedures in “Key Extensions.”
If you add an outside line to your system for use in an existing pool, use Dial
Mode (#201) if the new line is a rotary line and Pool Line Assignment (#207) to
add the line to an existing pool.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) 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).
Adding New Pools
Use this section if your system is configured for Hybrid mode to create new pools.
If you add outside lines to your system for use in a new pool, use Dial Mode
(#201) if the new lines are rotary lines, Pool Line Assignment (#207) to assign
lines to the new pool, Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign the new pool
to specific extensions, Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to
specify when the new pool will start ringing at each extension that has the pool,
and Pool Access Restriction (#315) to limit an extension’s access to all the lines
in the new pool. Also use Automatic Line Selection (Centralized Telephone
Programming) to add the new pool to the extension’s Automatic Line Selection
sequence.
Adding New Extensions
If you add an extension to your system, you can probably use Copy Settings
(#399) to copy the settings of an existing extension. If you wish to further adjust a
new extension’s settings, see ‘‘Customizing Extensions’’.
Swapping Extensions
If a user changes location, but wants to keep the same extension number, you can
make the change easily by changing the connection at the control unit.
For example, if the users at extensions 29 and 32 switch offices, you can
disconnect the modular plugs from those extension jacks in the control unit. Then
reconnect the plug from 32 into extension jack 29 and the plug from 29 into
extension jack 32. Now the users can take their respective phones to their new
