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.
Task List: Assigning a HotLine Extension 6
Assemble any required system planning forms, for example, System Form
4f, Tip/Ring Equipment.
Open the System Programming menu from the console or a PC with SPM.
If necessary, assign a personal line to the extension, following the
instructions in “Assign Trunks or Pools to Telephones” in the “Telephones”
section of
System Programming
, Chapter 3.
NOTE:
This task requires an idle condition: Extension Forced Idle.
If necessary, assign or delete intercom or System Access buttons by
following the instructions in “Assign Intercom or System Access Buttons” in
the “Telephones” section of
System Programming
, Chapter 3.
Program Personal Speed Dial code 01 with the inside or outside number
required, including any ARS or other access codes as necessary. You can
use extension programming to program the code at the single-line
telephone, or you can program the number using centralized telephone
programming (see “Centralized Telephone Programming” on page 6–24
).
If necessary, program the line at the extension for No Ring (see
“Centralized Telephone Programming” on page 6–24
).
If Night Service with Outward Restriction is in use on your system, you may
need either to add the HotLine extension to the Night Service Exclusion
List or add the number dialed by a HotLine to a Night Service Emergency
List.
When you have finished, file the form(s) with the rest of the planning forms.
