SSA buttons are often used by assistants and their supervisors, as well as
people who work closely together, such as in a customer service
department. For inside calls, you can program the button for either voice or
ring operation.
■ Pool. Use this button to make outside calls on a specific trunk pool. To
make an outside call, press the appropriate Pool button; no dial-out code is
necessary.
■ Personal Line. Use this button to dedicate the use of a specific outside
trunk to one or more telephones in the system. You can use the personal
line button to make and receive only outside calls. To make a call, press the
appropriate personal line button; no dial-out code is necessary.
You can assign a combination of up to 28 SA Voice, SA Ring, SA Originate
Only, and Shared SA buttons to any telephone (but
not to a QCC) with 28 or more
line buttons, using buttons 1 through 28. Buttons 1 through 10 can be SA buttons,
and one must be an SA button. Any of the remaining 27 buttons can be assigned
as Shared SA buttons, but no Shared SA buttons are required. The number of
personal line buttons that you can assign to a telephone is limited only by the
number of trunks in the system and the number of buttons available on the
telephone.
Line Buttons and Special Considerations in
Behind Switch Mode

When you program the system for Behind Switch mode, the system assigns a
single prime line, an ICOM Ring button, and an ICOM Voice button to each
multiline telephone. When you lift the telephone handset, the prime line is
selected automatically (even when it is busy) unless you have first selected a
different button. The prime line connects only to the host system and from the host
to an outside trunk. (For more information about local and host systems in Behind
Switch Mode, see
“Modes of Operation” on page 2–16 .)
To call another person connected to the host system, you dial the host system
extension number assigned to that person. To access an outside trunk, you dial
the host system’s
dial-out code (usually a ), and the host system selects an
available outside trunk.
In Behind Switch mode, ICOM buttons allow you to call other people connected to
the system but not necessarily to the host. When you press an ICOM button, you
reach an inside talk path and receive dial tone from the MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System (not from the host). You can then reach co-workers
without tying up a prime line.
You can use the following types of buttons to make and receive inside calls in
Behind Switch mode:
