5.If the user’s set is equipped with a CONSULT/TRANSFER button and/or a three-way button, the user may intermix the FLASH button with the other buttons to perform
the desired operation. The LED associated with the last button used reflects the
status of the latest condition. For example, instead of the user depressing the
FLASH button to establish a three-way call, the user could have depressed the
three-way button. The THREE-WAY LED turns on steady and the FLASH LED is
extinguished for this case.
6.If the user uses the hookswitch to generate a FLASH response, the FLASH LED shall
be updated to reflect the latest status as if the FLASH button itself had been used.

3.7.23Intercom Call 
‘WOW (22)
Intercom Call provides the ability to make calls within a restricted group of
phones and receive priority call termination handling. Distinctive ringing
provides the terminal user with the knowledge that the call is distinct from a
normal line-to-line call and comes from within a restricted group.
The Intercom Call differs from a normal call in several aspects:
(a)The call cannot be forwarded.
WThe call cannot be diverted with call pickup.
(clDistinctive intercom ringing is supplied at the called phone.

Automatic Intercom “A ICOM”
The AUTOMATIC INTERCOM button combines the INTERCOM button with the
dialing capability of the DSS button. Pressing an AUTOMATIC INTERCOMbutton originates an intercom call to a single specific party whose identity has
been programmed in the button.The call origination sequence is the same as for the INTERCOM feature
except that pressing a destination button (DSS or LINE) is not required.The AUTOMATIC INTERCOM button is not used for call termination.
NOTES:
1.Instruments programmed for AUTO INTERCOM must be members of an Intercom
group (data base configuration).
2.Intercom calls are not forwarded if the called line is busy or does not answer.
3.Intercom calls will appear only at the destination instrument and not at any
associated instruments in the group.
4.Intercom calls may not be answered using CALL PICKUP.
5.There may be only one INTERCOM button on a phone, although there may be
multiple AUTO INTERCOM buttons.
6.An intercom call placed to a POTS phone will proceed as a normal POTS
termination.
7.AUTO INTERCOM calls cannot be placed from CO lines.

Line Buttons (Multi-Line Sets Only)Line Buttons are required on a multi-line set. Each line button has two 
LEDs
associated with it: the PRIMARY status indicator, or UPPER LED; and the
SECONDARY status indicator, or LOWER LED. The primary LED shows the
IDLE, RINGING, HOLD, EXCLUSIVE HOLD, and BUSY status of the line.
Prior to going off-hook, the PREFERENCE LED will show the I-USE
condition, if applicable.Line buttons, once programmed, utilize both 
LEDs to provide status
information for the line. This information represents the state of the line on the
user instrument as well as on other instruments (multi-set lines). Status and
I-USE 
LEDs are shown in Table 3.13.
I-USE LEDSThe lower LED is called the I-USE LED. It represents the preference
selection status of the line at each particular instrument. Refer to Table 3.14
and Figure 3.3.
3.7.25Line PreferencePreference, when enabled, will partially or completely eliminate the need for a
user to select a line manually. The choice is automatically made by the
instrument according to the rules preprogrammed by the instrument user.
The user may choose to enable none, one or more, or all of the preference
features. The five different kinds of preference, and associated notes are
listed in Programming Control Parameters, Preference paragraph 3.4.5.

Line SeizureThere are various ways that an instrument user may seize a line, i.e., originate
or answer a call by presenting an off-hook condition to any of the virtual lines
connecting the instrument to the serving switch. Basically, the user may
manually generate the off-hook condition, or the instrument may
automatically generate the off-hook condition due to some user action. Both
the manual and automatic line seizure methods are given.
(4Manual Line SeizureManual line seizure results from any of the following user actions:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
63Handset going off-hook.
Depressing the SPEAKERPHONE feature button with
handset on-hook.
Depressing the MONITOR feature button with handset 
on-hook.
Depressing the NEW CALL feature button with the handset
off-hook and the line in a busy condition (presenting an
off-hook condition to the switch); for this case the current
call will be released before reseizure occurs.
Depressing the NEW CALL feature button with the handset
off-hook and the line in a released condition (indicated by
the RELEASE button’s associated LED being on).
Depressing the RELEASE feature button with the handset
off-hook and the line in a released condition (indicated by
the RELEASE button’s associated LED being on).

NOTES:
1.For 1 through 3 above, a particular line must be selected
(manually or 
automaticaily) either prior to or after the user
action in order for a line seizure to occur. For 4 through 6,
the line currently selected (indicated by the associated LINE
button’s I-USE LED being on) is the line that will bereseized. Refer to line selection for information on how lines
are manually and automatically selected.
2.Selection of the one line on a single-line set is doneautomatically by the phone for all of the above cases.

3.7.27Line SelectionThis feature describes the various ways that a phone (multi-line set) user
may select a line for seizing and originating, answering, removing a call from
hold, or displaying the source of an incoming call. Basically, the user may
manually select the desired line or may choose the line that has been
automatically selected by any of the preference features.
(4Manual Line SelectionThere are two kinds of manual line selection: preselection and manual
selection.
52108187o-115 
						

							TL-130100-1001
Preselection is defined as the manual selection of a line when the user
depresses the LINE button while the instrument is in an on-hook condition,
i.e., the handset is on-cradle, and the speakerphone and monitor features
are idle. Preselection overrides any previous preselected line or any line
choice made by any of the preference features which may be in effect. The
instrument guarantees the preselection choice for at least 10 seconds before
allowing any of the preference features, if active, to override the choice.
Otherwise, the preselection choice remains indefinitely or until the user
selects another line.
Manual selection is defined as the manual selection of a line when the user
depresses the LINE button while the instrument is in an off-hook condition,
i.e., either the handset is off-cradle or the speakerphone or monitor features
have been activated. Two other conditions are possible when the user
depresses the LINE button:a.If a line is currently seized, that line will be released and the
new line will be seized.
b.If a line is not currently seized, the selected line will be
seized. When the user returns to an on-hook condition, the
line now behaves as a preselection choice, i.e., the line
continues to be the chosen line for at least 10 seconds if any
preference features are in effect. Thereafter, the choice
may be overridden by any possible line choice conforming
to the rules established by the preference features.
Otherwise, the line remains the chosen line indefinitely or
until the user selects another line.
(b)Manual Line Selection - Preselection
STEPOPERATIONRESULTBegin with the phone in an on-hook state and neither speakerphone or monitor
active.
1Depress desired line button.
(a) Associated I-USE LED on. Any other
I-USE LED on by a previous
preselection or by any active
preference feature will be off.
(b) “PLEASE DIAL”
If no preference features are
activated.(c) The above choice remains in effect
and I-USE LED on until the user makes
another choice.
If preference features are in effect.
(d) The preselection choice is guaranteed
for 20 seconds along with
associated LED being on steady.
