Multicall Line: A Multicall Line is an appearance of one extension number on two or more
telephones. This extension number can be for another SUPERSET telephone or an
industry-standard telephone.When one appearance of a Multicall Line is in use, the other
appearances are still available to make or answer calls.
- Call Direction, Ring and Secretarial Variants can be programmed independently for each
appearance.
- There can be up to 31 appearances of any one Multicall Line on a given SUPERSET
telephone.
Direct Trunk Select (DTS) Line: A DTS Line operates like a Key Line, but it directly accesses
a specified dedicated CO trunk. It can be used for incoming and outgoing calls. For further
information see Direct Trunk Select. The DTS trunk can appear on up to 32 SUPERSET
telephones.
- There can be only one appearance of any one Direct Trunk Select Line on a SUPERSET
telephone.
- Direction and Ring Variants can be programmed independently for each appearance. The
direction variant allows control of the type of trunk call, incoming or outgoing or both.
- The user can transfer calls on this line to other extensions.
- DTS outgoing calls bypass ARS.
- DTS calls use the SMDR feature if enabled.
Private Line: A Private Line accesses a dedicated CO trunk directly. As operating TELCOs
often provide a less expensive rate for trunks connected to private trunk lines SUPERSET
telephones accommodate this type of operation. The user can transfer established calls on this
line only to other SUPERSET telephones that have an appearance of the line, using privacy
release.
- Personal Outgoing Line
This line is an outgoing-only line that allows the user to make an outgoing call without making
the set busy to incoming calls.
- A Personal Outgoing Line has no extension number associated with it.
- There can only be one Personal Outgoing Line per SUPERSET telephone.
BLF/DSS Line: This line type is used by two distinct features; Busy Lamp Field (BLF), and
optionally Direct Station Select (DSS). A BLF is an appearance of a station, SUPERSET, logical
line or trunk. The LED indicator indicates the state of the BLF appearance (Idle, Busy, DND).
A DSS key is a BLF appearance (of a station, SUPERSET, or logical line), associated with the
key.
- A DSS key cannot be associated with a trunk BLF appearance.
Line Appearance Variants
Through CDE, the seven line types can be programmed to control call direction and ringing.
Multicall Lines can also be programmed as Secretarial Lines.
