pressing the Line Dial-Up code (#9) and a line number (e.g., 1).

Using Direct Trunk Access
With Direct Trunk Access, you can get a line for an outside
call by dialing the line’s extension number. For example, line
1 is normally line extension number 401.

Dialing a Trunk Group Access Code
You can place a call on the first available line in a line group
by dialing the group’s number (e.g., 90).
