Quick question can you assign a line (outside dial-tone) to an ata, rather than getting intercom dial tone. I know you can line pool but can you direct assign dialtone. Thanks Joe Oh yea, its 616,Dr5 regular ata

yes. just setup the line pool instead of intercom. you can do this for any set.

HDan Thanks for the reply. I can set prime line and go directly to a desired line as a line pool on a norstar set, but can i do that on a cordless set tied to an ATA? Cust wants to pickup line 1 on cordless without dialing, but still light up line as busy on norstar sets. Thanks again Joe

I still can't get outside line to appear on pickup. I tried making it a prime line, but still have to dial access code. Any idea's Thanks Joe

On the ATA on the 616 you have to dial an access code to access the pool ,you can't have an access to a line even as a prime line ,the System will allowe and permit you to program a line or a line pool as a prime line however you will still get only intercome .I'm sorry for the bad news.

Thanks Sam At least now i know and can deal with it. Thanks again Joe
