DESCRIPTION
The system administrator can assign lines to any voice terminal in
any
order,
or choose not to assign particular lines to a voice terminal. The administrator
can use Customized Line Assignment if he or she wants to assign lines or
groups of lines to selected voice terminals with similar requirements for
placing and receiving calls. For example, this might include people within a
particular department who need the same line assignments as each other, but
different from line assignments of people in other departments. The
administrator can also assign personal lines so that no one else in the system
has access to them. (See “Personal Lines.“)
CONSIDERATIONS
ADMINISTRATION
If a person in a system with Customized Line Assignments does not have a
particular line assigned to his or her voice terminal, he or she can pick up a
ringing call on that line by using the Call Pickup feature.
(See “Call Pickup.“)
If two or more voice terminals in the system will have the same line
assignments, the administrator can use the Copy feature to copy the line
assignments from one voice terminal to another.
(See “Copy.
“)
A line jack with nothing plugged into it is called a nonequipped line
appearance, or ‘ghost line.
’
To eliminate ghost lines, the administrator must
specify how many lines the system contains by using the administration
procedure below.
If your responsibilities do not include system administration, skip this
information.
