the speed dial numbers with hunt group numbers. Enable direct line access and select the hunt
group. As soon as the fax goes off-hook, it finds an available line within the line hunt group.
1. Click Additional Settings. The Additional Settings window appears.
2. Select the Direct Line Access tab.
3. Select the Use direct line access on checkbox. The window enables the list of line
hunt groups.
4. Select the hunt group.
Note: When using direct line access, you hear the telephone company dial tone when you pick
up the handset. You do not hear the internal dial tone. The following features are only
available from the internal dial tone:
• Intercom calls
• System speed dial numbers
• Calling the receptionist
• Attaching an account code
• Intercom paging
•Group paging
• Overhead paging
• Hunt groups

To obtain an internal dial tone on an analog extension that is set for direct line access, pick
up the handset, and then press Flash or Recall. On an IP extension, press **, and then dial
the number or function.
