This topic provides information about administering a digital or UNIStim station with the hotline target as a digit string:
Create the X-Port with the call appearance required for the hotline. The same X-Port is used for both sides of the hotline.
Edit or create the station with the “Hotline” button.
Define a bridged appearance button for the hotline. The Device Adapter will provide a localized label “Hotline” for the button. The extension number of the bridged appearance button becomes the Hotline number in terms on CS 1000 Hotline two-way feature.
For a hotline to a specific destination, add the HTL (Hotline) N (number) mnemonic: HTLxxMkNxxxxxxx or HTLxxNxxxxxxx where:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
HTLxx: xx is the key number (starting with the lowest button numbered as 1). HTL08 would indicate CS 1000 key 7 (the eight button on the phone or expansion module).
HTLxxMk: k is the button module number. The value for k may be 0 if the button is on the station itself, or it may be omitted:
HTL08M0N: Two-way hotline to the indicated number, using button 8 (CS 1000 key 7), on the phone itself.
HTL08N: Two-way hotline to the indicated number, using button 8 (CS 1000 key 7), on the phone itself. The M0 for the module (indicating “not on a module”) is implicit.
HTL08M1N: Two-way hotline to the indicated number, using button 8 (CS 1000 key 7), on the module 1. Depending on the station this may be set to 1, 2, or 3. Note that the numbering is “per module”, as the starting button number changes based on the module used, and the station using the module. “Button 8” is always button 8 on a module, but whether the first button is 16, 24, or 32 means button 8 may be button 24, button 32, or button 40 on a station, depending on the station type.
HTLxxMkNxxxxxxx, HTLxxNxxxxxxx: xxxxxxx is the destination number or extension. It may include digits, “*”, or “#”.
