HotLine 4
The HotLine feature is available only for single-line telephones and devices
connected to a port on an 008 OPT, 012 T/R, or 016 T/R module. A single-line
telephone connected to an MFM cannot use the HotLine feature. This feature
enables you to set up a telephone to dial one specific number once the telephone
goes off-hook. The number that is dialed is the first personal speed dial (code 01)
programmed on the single-line telephone using centralized telephone
programming or extension programming. (Extension programming is only
available before the HotLine feature is activated.)
A HotLine extension can call a private network extension. See the
Network
Reference
for information.
NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:
In Release 6.0 and later systems, after the Hotline extension number has
been assigned, the FRL value for the Hotline extension number should be
set to 6. This ensures that, regardless of the FRL value assigned to the
route(s) in the UDP Routing Table connecting two switches in a private
network, placing a UDP call from switch A directly connected to switch B
using the Hotline feature will not fail due to the FRL.
