Turn Privacy on or off for a call
You can configure lines in your system to have automatic privacy. With a line not programmed
with privacy, anyone with the line assigned to their telephone can join your call by pressing the
line button. With a line programmed with privacy, one person at a time can use the line.
Use FEATURE 83 to turn the Privacy feature off and on.
Privacy control cannot be used for internal or conference calls.
When another telephone joins a call, the participants on the call hear a tone, and a message appears
on the telephone display. It is not possible to join a call without everyone hearing this tone.
Programming line access
There are a number of ways you can configure your lines. You can assign each line to one
telephone or several telephones, or a specific line to a specific telephone. You can also pool your
lines so that a number of telephones have access to several lines.
See the following information:
• “Making lines available” on page 98
• “Incoming calls” on page 99
• “Outgoing calls” on page 99
Making lines available
• You can determine whether a line will be assigned solely to one telephone, or if a group of
users will have access to the line.
• Even when you use line pools, it is possible that a line pool will be unavailable for outgoing
traffic. To alleviate this, you can determine overflow paths for any routes that you designate.
• Incoming lines can be assigned to telephones as individual lines or through target lines,
depending on the type of trunk supplied from the central office (CO). Incoming lines do not
need to have an appearance on the telephone. Target lines are for incoming calls only.
Two-way single lines, such as analog lines, allow the user to make an outgoing call by pressing
the (idle) assigned line button or, if the line is part of a line pool, by entering a line pool access
code or destination code to access the line pool. These lines can also be redirected on a
per-trunk basis through Element Manager or from the telephone by using FEATURE 84.
• PRI lines are always configured into line pools. These lines require a destination code for
outgoing calls. Incoming calls use target line assignments.
Note: The Auto privacy setting does not apply to target lines, PRI lines
or VoIP trunking lines.
