Number of Lines (#104)
Description
Related Features
This feature should be used only for initial system setup.
This System Programming procedure determines the number of outside lines
that are automatically assigned to all system extensions. (This number does not
have to match the actual number of lines connected at the control unit.)
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.

Programming
To assign lines to the system at initial system setup:
1.
Press [
Feature ] [ 0 ] [ 0 ] [ System Program ] [ System Program ] [ # ] [ 1 ] [ 0 ] [ 4 ].
2. Dial two digits for the number of outside lines in the system (01–12) that you
want to assign to all extensions. For example, dialing [ 0 ] [ 6 ] means that all
extensions are assigned lines 1 through 6.
3. Select another procedure or exit programming mode.
