Features
Line Group Routing
Description
With Line Group Routing enabled, an extension user can just press INTERCOM and dial 9 to place an out-
side call. Line Group Routing automatically selects the first available line in the extension’s programmed
“dial 9” Line Group. This simplifies placing calls in systems that have a lot of lines for outgoing calls.
Rather than press one of many line keys, the user just dials 9 instead.
Conditions
• Systems using Line Groups or Line Group Routing should use the hybrid FCC registration number
(i.e., the number that ends in MF-E). Look at the label on the bottom of your equipment cabinet for
more information.
• If you include a line in your “dial 9” group that is not physically connected, when a user dials 9 the
system will:
- Try the line up to 5 times.
- Mark it as failed.
- Automatically exclude it from the “dial 9” group.
Default Setting
DSX-80/160
• Lines 1-12 ring on line keys 1-12 for extensions 300-315. All other extensions are lamp only for lines
1-12. Lines 13-64 do not appear on line keys.
• All extensions have full access on all lines.
• Line Group Routing (dial 9) is assigned to Line Group 90 (which contains lines 1-8). Dial 9 works by
default. The outgoing line priority for the dial 9 group is as follows:
- Order 1 for line 8
- Order 2 for line 7
- Order 3 for line 6
- Order 4 for line 5
- Order 5 for line 4
- Order 6 for line 3
- Order 7 for line 2
- Order 8 for line 1
