Intercom button (outside line) doesn't light up when handset picked up. How do I program to get the dial tone upon picking up the handset?

SOURCE: line programming

That is a feature under system programming for your set. your admin person would need to make that change fir your extension.

SOURCE: No dial tone on receiver only on voice

make shure handset cord is Not pluged in to the Headset jack on the bottom, needs to be in the handset jack (look at the icons)

SOURCE: i want to be able to just pick up the handset and have it

Depending on the software level, there is a possible chance for this to work...

first question though... can you dial a 9 to get a line out?
If this is possible, that means that we can change the PRIME LINE for a line pool access rather than intercom.

-> Get into system programming
-> get into TERMINALS&SETS and type in your extension
-> enter LINE ACCESS and hit next till you find PRIME LINE it should say I/C (this is intercom)
-> press change till you see PoolA
-> hit next and RLS to end programming.

Now everytime that you pick up your handset, it will pick the first available line out!

Do Feature **CONFIG, go to CONFIGURATION, select the second option, should say Line something, keep scrolling and it will say I/C: #,. press change, you can have a max of 2 Intercom keys, if you need other info, go to youtube.com and search for "thenortelguy"

The reason your phones config is not the same as before is because configuration goes by what extension it is. So if you plug your phone in somewhere else, unless you have DN's configured, your extension changes, so say it was extension 21, but now that you moved it, its now 23, those settings remain on extention 21, so if you bought another phone and plugged it into were extention 21 is, it would have the settings that your old phone had before

To access the intercom by just picking up the handset, Press Feature **CONFIG (266344), Select <A. Configuration>, then go to <2. Line Access>, Select that and enter the extension of the phone you want to have access intercom by just picking up the handset. Scroll until you see <Intercom Keys: #,> make sure you have at least one intercom key. Then scroll until you see <Prime Line: #>, Press change until the display reads <Prime Line:I/C>  And there you go. Hope i didn't confuse you
