(e) The preselection choice may be
overridden by any possible
combination programmed for
preference.
NOTES:
1.Once a line seizure has taken place, preselection has no meaning until the user
returns to an on-hook condition.
2.After going on-hook, the line shall remain as the selected line for 10 seconds,
allowing a new call to take place without changing lines. The user may override the
choice by selecting another line. The I-USE LED remains on for as long as the line
is chosen.
3.After the 10 seconds have expired, preference, if in effect, may override the current
line choice by any possible line choice conforming to the rules established for the
preference features. The I-USE LED remains on for as long as the line is chosen.

STEPOPERATIONRESULT
1Begin with the phone in the off-hook
position with the currently selected
line busy with another call.Associated I-USE LED on.
Depress another LINE button.(a) Previous line disconnected and
LED off.
(b) New line selected and seized.
(c) Associated LINE LED on.
(d) “PLEASE DIAL”
2Proceed as with a normal
line-to-line call.
NOTES:5210
1.Manual line selection does not apply to single-line sets because the off-hook condition is automatically related to the only line on the instrument.
2.Manual line selection must be employed before each and every call on
multi-line sets for which all preference features are disabled.

							TL-130100-10013.If the user chooses a ringing line via preselection, a call source display shall
be displayed during the alerting interval. This display is the basis for the
user to determine how to handle the call.
4.Anytime the user depresses a LINE button while on another line, the other
line is released and the line associated with the depressed LINE button is
seized, if idle.

Line TypesSeveral types of lines may appear on the Featurephone. These are: 
single-set line, multi-set line, secondary line, CO line, and PABX line.
(4Single-Set LineA single-set line is a line having a line appearance on only one
Featurephone instrument. The appearance may be on a single-set line, in
which case the line must be a PABX line (see section on PABX Line); or the
appearance may be as a line button on a multi-line set, in which case the
line may be a PABX line or a CO line (see section on CO line).
Single-set lines have no special requirements in and of themselves.
Therefore, no step-by-step operations are described for these lines. Refer
to the section on A Basic Call and associated subsections.
NOTE:Although a single-set line may appear as a line on only one
instrument, it may have secondary lines on that same instrument
(provided the instrument is a multi-line set).
(b)Multi-Set LineA multi-set line is one which appears on more than one multi-line In-
tegrated Featurephone. This line arrangement allows the switch to emulate
the basic operation of lines with multiple appearances as in a key system.
Up to 16 Featurephone lines may appear as line and/or DSS appearances on
up to eight Featurephones (single-line set or multi-line set). The rest of the
Featurephone lines may appear on up to four Featurephones. Status
changes for any multi-set line have an appearance in order to keep the
instruments and instrument users current as to line status.
A multi-set line may be configured as a PABX line or a CO line (see later
sections). POTS lines can have two DSS appearances.
(clSecondary LineThe secondary line arrangement offers a means of terminating multiple call
attempts to a single PABX directory number. This is accomplished by using a
multi-line set, and assigning the prime line or a control line and each
secondary appearance to individual line buttons on the set.
5210 
						

							TL-130100-1001
A call to an instrument with secondary lines is alerted on one of the
secondary lines when the prime line is busy. There is no need to provide call
waiting operation; terminations occur to idle appearances as long as any are
available, and the line is treated as busy when all line appearances are busy.
Should alerting occur while the user is in conversation on a line, the active
call may be placed on hold and the ringing’line appearance answered.
A call may be originated from any idle line appearance.
Cd)Secondary Line Operation
The user places an initial call from an idle instrument by going off-hook on a
selected line.
Once in conversation, the user may access customary PABX features in
handling his call, including use of consult, transfer, hold, etc. The user may in
fact place a call on hold, and then place an entirely different call from another
appearance of his line.
NOTES:
1.A prime or control line may only have secondary lines if the
prime or control line is a single-set line.
2.A prime or control line may have up to a maximum of three
secondary lines (prime/control line 
+ three secondary lines=a total of four buttons for the line).

Secondary Line
(6Central Office (CO) Line
The Featurephone provides a means for the user to access a dedicated
Central Office line. The feature operates to provide capabilities similar to
those for CO lines on key systems. Seizure of a CO line causes an
immediate connection to the associated CO line, with dial tone being returned
from the CO. Ringing of the CO line causes immediate connection to and
signal of the Featurephone CO line. This operation emulates CO line
operation on standard key systems, differing only on the basis of guaranteed
access.
The user of a Featurephone CO line will be permitted to access PABX
features via hookswitch flash or feature buttons. CO calls may therefore be
placed on hold or transferred to other PABX stations. Flashes will not be
echoed into the Central Office; therefore no special features can be provided
for in the CO.
52108187o-119 
						

							- -TL-130100-1001
CO lines can be assigned only on multi-line sets. The appearance of a CO
line need not, however, be restricted to a single instrument. As with PABX
lines, CO lines can be configured in multi-set arrangements, so that a
particular CO line can be accessed from more than one station instrument.
When the line is busy, other attempts to use the line by the sharing stations
will result in a trunk busy tone being received at these stations.
(0CQ Line Operation - Call Origination
1.The user selects a CO line by depressing the CO LINE
feature button on the Integrated Featurephone instrument
and then going off-hook.
2.Assuming the associated CO line is idle, the system
establishes a network path between the Integrated
Featurephone instrument and the CO line causing seizure.
3.The Central Office returns dial tone to the Integrated
Featurephone user. The user may now dial as he chooses
within the public network.
4.If the associated CO line is busy, the trunk busy tone will be
returned.
(cl)CO Line Operation - Call Termination
1.A call from the public network terminating on an Integrated
Featurephone dedicated CO line causes 
ringback tone to
the originator and distinctive ringing on the integrated
Featurephone.
2.Called party answer causes CO ring-trip and an audio
connection to be established.
3.If an incoming CO line call is not accepted by the Integrated
Featurephone or accepted but not answered, 
ringback tone
continues to the originator. If the terminating phone is busy,
busy tone is returned. In both cases, tones are supplied by
the CO.
U-0PABX LineA PABX line has a one-to-one correlation to the directory number dialed to
reach that line. PABX lines may have a single appearance on station
apparatus or may have multiple appearances.
(0PABX Line OperationPABX lines as a class introduce no additional requirements upon the system.
Therefore, no feature operations are described for these lines. Refer to A
Basic Call and other related sections.

Message Leaving “LV MSG” (25)LEAVE MESSAGE enables the user to leave a message at an Integrated
Featurephone having a LEAVE MESSAGE button programmed. The phone
leaving the message may be either an Integrated Featurephone or a POTS
phone.
Visual indication of a stored message will be provided on the called
instrument to alert the user. Up to eight messages may be stored.

STEPOPERATIONRESULTIf message leaving is unsuccessful,(a) Reorder tone heard.
(b) “NO MESSAGE LEFT”
NOTES:
1.If the call has been diverted to another station (i.e., call forwarding, call pickup, etc.),
the message will be left at the original called instrument.
2.The above procedure may also be performed by either party while the call is in an
answered state. However, when involved in a stable two-way conversation, the
Integrated Featurephone leaving the message (only Integrated Featurephones can
initiate MSG LEAVE while in a two-way state) will only receive the display showing
that the message was left or not left; no tones will be placed into the two-way
conversation.
3.Message leaving cannot be activated during any calls that contain a third party, nor
should the feature be used on two-party calls that have at one time involved a third
party. Use of the feature under this condition could result in a misrouted message.
4.Message leaving destination must be an Integrated Featurephone.

2.If the instrument does not have a MESSAGE WAITING (MS CTR) LED, the message
will be ignored.
3.9.31Monitor “MONTR” (04)
The MONITOR button controls the activation/deactivation of the monitor
amplifier. The associated LED indicates the monitor is on.
The first depression of the MONITOR feature button will initiate the monitor
function in an on-hook or off-hook condition. In an on-hook condition, the
monitor function will be on and the selected line seized for on-hook dialing.
In an off-hook condition, the monitor function will be on standby in
preparation for the monitor function which occurs when the handset is placed
on-hook.
The monitor function is turned off by a second depression of the MONITOR,
or depression of RELEASE, or SPEAKERPHONE feature buttons, or by
removing the handset from the cradle. If the MONITOR button is depressed
while in the on-hook condition, the line seizure will be withdrawn and the call
abandoned.
There is interaction between the optional Speakerphone and the MONITOR.

NOTES:1.On a multi-line set, whenever the instrument is off-hook or when the speakerphone
or monitor are on and the instrument initiates ringing, the ringing shall be abbreviated
to present only three cycles of ringing to the instrument user.Although the ringing is
stopped, the visual alerting on the line button will continue until answered.
2.The message “PLEASE HANG UP” is displayed when the user turns the monitor (or
speakerphone) feature on and the handset is off-hook. The message persists until
the user places the handset on-hook.
3.The monitor volume control is the slide control lever on the front of the instrument.
3.7.32New Call 
“N CALL” (05)
The NEW CALL button emulates an on-hook signal followed by an off-hook
signal and results in disconnect reseizure and dial tone. If depressed while
on-hook, an off-hook signal is generated and the monitor or speakerphone
is activated yielding dial tone via the speaker.
STEPOPERATIONRESULT
1To release a call without going
on-hook, depress NEW CALL.(a) NEW CALL LED on for l/2 second.
(b) Line reseized.
(c) Dial tone heard.
(d) “PLEASE DIAL”
2Proceed as with a normal line-to-line
call.
NOTE:When the user of a multi-line set depresses the NEW CALL feature button after
having placed a call on hard hold the ON-HOOK signal is generated for the line on
hard hold. The off-hook signal is withheld until the user manually selects another
line on which the new call will be placed. The users will be prompted to select a line
with the message “WHICH LINE”.

(c)Hunt GroupsStation Hunting allows for the routing of a call to the first idle station of a
prearranged group of stations (a Hunt Group). Integrated Featurephones may
be used in either terminal or circular hunt groups and operate basically the
same as POTS instruments do in Hunt Groups.
Integrated Featurephones do require that the following situations be
considered:
(4Programming of call waiting or secondary line arrangements (e.g.,
multiple calls) may be active on a given instrument at any given
time.
(WThe Force Busy feature can be used to remove a Featurephone
temporarily from a Hunt Group. This is analogous to activation of
call forwarding to remove a POTS phone from a hunt group.
