Loop Keys

For incoming calls, Switched Loop keys provide an appearance for any line not assigned to a line key for which the extension has access and ringing. Switched Loop keys insure that there is a visual appearance for lines that do not ring an extension’s line keys.

For outgoing calls, Switched Loop keys provide convenient access to Line Groups. For example, instead of pressing INTERCOM and dialing 90 for Line Group 90, the user can just press the Switched Loop key and dial 0 instead.

For outgoing calls, a Fixed Loop key is a loop key assigned to a specific Line Group. When the extension user presses the Fixed Loop key for an outgoing call, they get the first line in the group assigned to the key.

For incoming calls, the Fixed Loop key works just like a Switched Loop key. It provides an appearance for any line not assigned to a line key for which the extension has access and ringing.

  • When you assign a line as a DIL, it continues to flash its previously programmed line/loop key assignments. It will ring line/loop keys only after diverting to Key Ring.
• Line Groups
  
  • Switched and Fixed Loop Keys use the system’s Line Groups.
• Line Keys
  
  • Line keys also provide one-button access to lines.
