Instruction manual

Number of Lines (#104)
Description
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.) This
feature should only be used for initial system setup.
Related Features
Do not use this procedure if you add lines to the system after initial setup,
because it changes
Line Access Restriction (#302), Automatic Line
Selection, Line Ringing,
and Hold Disconnect Time (#203) 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 attached.
You can use this procedure to limit the number of lines that are automatically
assigned to all extensions. For example, if there are 10 lines connected at
the control unit, you can use this procedure to set the number of lines to “8,”
so that only the first 8 lines are assigned to all system extensions. You can
then use
Line Assignment (#301) to assign lines 9 and 10 to specific
extensions.
Valid Entries
2 lines per 206 module, plus 4 lines per 400 module ✔
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 (01–24) that you
want to assign to all extensions. For example, entering 06 means that all
extensions are assigned lines 1–6.
3.
Select another procedure or exit programming mode.
