Feature description
Flexible Hot Line
Flexible Hot Line (HOT) allows designated analog (500/2500 type)
telephones to place calls to a predetermined destination simply by lifting the
handset. The destination may be internal or external to the Meridian 1, and
the call does not require attendant intervention.
Flexible Hot Line (HOT) is provided to designated analog (500/2500 type)
telephones on a Class of Service basis. A telephone is assigned the Hot Line
feature through Service Change and a Manual Line (MNL) Class of Service.
Address digits must be stored for the predetermined destination. If no digits
are defined, the call will route to the Attendant Console.
When the user lifts the handset, no dial tone is returned. The Meridian 1
translates the stored digits and performs one of two operations:
• It rings an internal Directory Number (DN), then returns ringback tone.
• It translates to an external Trunk Access Code (TRC) and DN, then
returns external call-progress tones or announcements.
Flashing the switchhook at any time during call setup or during the call will
be ignored.
If the caller is a Hot Line, the prime Directory Number of the calling
telephone is displayed on the terminating telephone, if equipped with a
display.
Operating parameters
Flexible Hot Line applies to analog (500/2500 type) telephones only.
