opportunity to program the necessary Personal Speed Dial code while at the
telephone. For security reasons, as long as the extension remains a HotLine, no
further programming is allowed at the extension, and changes to the speed dial
code must be made using centralized telephone programming.
Because HotLine extensions generally should not receive calls, consider
programming the single-line telephone for No Ring.
A single-line telephone without a dialpad can be used for many HotLine
applications. If the telephone has a dialpad, it allows dialing of digits after a call is
connected, in response to an automated attendant’s prompts, for example.

Assemble any required system planning forms, for example, System Form
