Line Selection
Description
Multiline voice terminals may have many line (facility) appearances. There are three methods
by which a user may select a desired line: (1) Prime Line Preference, (2) Ringing Line
Preference, and (3) Preselection.
Prime Line Preference:
Automatically connects a multiline voice terminal to a specified line or facility designated as
preferred when the terminal goes off-hook. This feature may be assigned to System Access,
Loop, Bridged Access, Automatic Intercom, DSS, Personal Line, and Direct Facility Access
buttons.
On the Switched Loop Attendant Console. the topmost Loop button has Prime Line
Preference by default.
However. the feature can be assigned to any of the five Loop
buttons.
The user may override this feature by preselecting another button (see below).
If Prime Line Preference is assigned to an Automatic Intercom (AUTO ICOM) or DSS button,
the called voice terminal will ring as soon as the terminal goes off hook.
When the Prime Line Preference feature is assigned to an AUTO ICOM, DSS, or Direct
Facility Access (FACILITY) button, the button must be pressed to activate the busy-to-idle
reminder even though the button’s I-use LED is lighted steadily.
If Prime Line Preference is assigned to a Personal Line or Bridged Access button, the user is
connected to the button upon going off-hook, even if the line is busy. The user is always
connected to the button where Prime Line Preference is assigned, unless the line has a call
on hold.
Ringing Line Preference:
Automatically connects a multiline voice terminal to an incoming call ringing at the terminal.
Ringing Line Preference overrides Prime Line Preference and Preselection when a call is
ringing at an on-hook voice terminal.
Line access buttons that can be selected by Ringing Line Preference include System Access,
Bridged Access, Automatic Intercom, Coverage, and Personal Lines.
If two or more lines on a multiline terminal or a Direct Trunk Attendant Console are ringing
simultaneously, the user is connected to the first line to start ringing. If the user wishes to
use a different line, the line must be preselected prior to going off-hook. If ringing ceases
while the user is on-hook, line preference reverts to whichever option is applicable (Prime
Line Preference or no preference).
