Automatic Line Selection
 

Description

This Telephone Programming procedure determines the line a user is connected to after lifting the handset or turning on the speaker to make a call. The system looks for lines in the order specified by this procedure and selects the first available line. For example, if you specify outside lines first for an extension, but all outside lines are busy, the user will hear the intercom dial tone after lifting the handset or turning on the speaker.

Considerations

This feature must be programmed from extension 10 or 11 only, using Centralized Telephone Programming. Individual users cannot program this feature directly.

Standard Phone

If a standard phone user intends to place intercom calls and access system features, Automatic Line Selection for his or her extension must be set to intercom first for proper operation. For example, the setting for a standard phone in a lobby, used for internal calling or making local calls on line 1, would be "Intercom first."
