You can assign a combination of up to 10 Intercom Voice, Intercom Ring, or
Intercom Originate Only buttons to each station (excluding operator
positions).
Assign additional Intercom Ring, Intercom Voice, or an Intercom Originate
Only button for people who frequently receive or make transferred calls. The
Intercom Originate Only button ensures that if a user is busy on a call, at
least one additional button is available to receive another call and another is
available to make a call.

WATS or FX

If you want the station user to receive outside calls on a specific line, assign
a personal line to a button on the telephone or adjunct. The station user is
automatically connected to the intercom when the receiver is lifted, and the
user can select an outside line by dialing the Idle Line Preference Code
(usually a 9).
Consider assigning a Loudspeaker Page button to make announcements
over an optional loudspeaker connected to the control unit. To make an
announcement, users press the button and speak into the handset. They do
not need to dial the extension of the loudspeaker paging system.
