Program 32 – Automatic Preference
3-88 Strata DK Programming 5/99
Program 32 Overview
This program defines which [PDN] or CO line a digital (cordless, corded, or Strata AirLink
wireless) and electronic telephone will be automatically connected to when the telephone handset
is taken off-hook or the
6SNU button is used.
Note Strata AirLink wireless handsets do not have a 6SNU button.
The lowest [PDN], lowest CO line, or Line Group is selected only if the telephone is not ringing
when it is taken off-hook (no
6SNU pressed). If a telephone is ringing, the [PDN] Auto Preference,
or outgoing CO line is canceled. In this case, no selection is made if Ring Line Preference is
disabled; the ring line is selected if Ringing Line Preference is enabled.
Automatic Preference for digital, electronic, or Strata AirLink wireless telephones via handset off-
hook or the
6SNU button is the automatic connection to lines, or the [PDN] of a telephone under
various conditions.
With Ringing Line Preference, a digital, electronic, or Strata AirLink wireless telephone user by
going off-hook (or by pressing the
6SNU button) may be automatically connected to the lowest line
ringing in without having to press a CO
/LQH button or dial an access code.
If no lines are ringing and an electronic or digital telephone goes off-hook, the station can be
automatically connected to the [PDN] or to a line. The line connected can be the lowest numbered
line available on the telephone or the highest idle line from a selected group.
Notes
● Program 32 does not apply to standard telephones. To allow system features to be accessed,
standard telephones always receive system internal dial tone when originating calls.
● If ringing line preference is not selected, no auto preference selection will occur when a station
goes off hook during an incoming ring condition.
● Toshiba cordless telephones can have [PDN] (Code 01) selected for Auto Preference so the
user will get system dial tone when pressing the
7$/. button from the idle state, or a line or
line group can be selected for Auto Preference if CO dial tone should be accessed when the
7$/. button is pressed.
● Strata AirLink wireless handsets must have Code 01 assigned to receive system dial tone after
pressing
&$//in the idle mode. A line or line group can be selected instead, if CO dial tone
should be accessed when
&$// is pressed.
