6 Maintaining Your System
Adding Lines, Pools, and Extensions 71
Quick Reference Guide
If you add an outside line to your system for use in an existing pool, use Dial
Mode (#201) if the new line is a rotary line and Pool Line Assignment (#207) to
add the line to an existing pool.
Adding New Pools
You can create new pools if your system is operating in Hybrid mode. If you add
outside lines for use in a new pool, you may need to use the following features:
• Dial Mode (#201) if the new lines are rotary lines
• Pool Line Assignment (#207) to assign lines to the new pool
• Pool Extension Assignment (#314) to assign the new pool to specific
extensions
• Line Ringing to specify when the new pool starts ringing at each extension
that has the pool
• Pool Access Restriction (#315) to limit an extension’s access to all the
lines in the new pool
• Automatic Line Selection to add the new pool to the extension’s
Automatic Line Selection sequence
Adding New Extensions
If you add an extension to your system, you can probably use Copy Settings
(#399) to copy the settings of an existing extension.
Do not use Number of Lines (#104) if you add lines to the system after
initial setup because it changes Pool Line Assignment (#207), Pool
Extension Assignment (#314), Pool Access Restriction (#315),
Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing for existing pools back to
factory settings. Additionally, it changes Line Assignment (#301), Line
Access Restriction (#302), Automatic Line Selection, and Line Ringing
for individual lines back to factory settings. To change pool assignments
without affecting other settings, use Pool Line Assignment (#207) and
Pool Extension Assignment (#314).
