Quick Reference Guide

Adding New Lines

How you add new lines to the system depends upon the type of extension you
are adding them to.

Key Extensions

You can add individual lines to pooled extensions or add new lines to key
extensions (all extensions in Key mode; in Hybrid mode, extension 10 and any
extensions set to Key by using Line Access Mode (#301) are key extensions.)

If you add an outside line to your system, you may need to adjust some line
settings:

Dial Mode (#201) if the new line is a rotary line

Line Assignment (#301) to assign the line to specific extensions

Line Ringing (Centralized Telephone Programming) to specify when the

line starts ringing at each extension that has the line

Line Access Restriction (#302) to limit an extension’s access to the line

• The system automatically assigns the new line as the last line in the

Automatic Line Selection sequence. If you want to change the order, use
Automatic Line Selection.

Pooled Extensions

You can add new lines to existing pools if your system is configured for Hybrid
mode. To assign a new line to a pooled extension as an individual line, use the
features in “Key Extensions” above.

Do not use Number of Lines (#104) if you add lines to the system
after initial setup because it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line
Access Restriction (#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line
Ringing for existing lines back to factory settings. To add a new line
without affecting other settings, use Line Assignment (#301).
