Private Line Service

PTT line appearances on Meridian phones - Equivalent to Mitels 'Direct Trunk Select'.

Here is some background information, and a limited programming overview, on how to program a analog PTT line as a key appearance on a Nortel multi-line set. Nortel calls it PVR/PVN, Private Line Ringing/Non-Ringing.

Steps:

1. LD 16 - Add/change a Private Line trunk route - (TKTP=cot, PRIV=yes, ICOG=iao)
2. LD 14 - Add/change Private Line trunks to the route (PRDN=xxxx)
3. LD 11 - Add/change Private Line Service key (PVR/PVN=xxxx) for digital set(s)
4. LD 10 - Add/change Private Line Service (DN=xxxx) for analog set(s)

When adding a trunk to a Private route (one with PRIV=YES), you will be prompted for Private Line DN (PRDN). This is a special DN which directly accesses the trunk from the set. Multiple trunks can be added to the same route, each one with a different PRDN.

When adding a Private Line Service key to a Digital set, use:

• KEY xx PVR <PRDN for trunk> (ringing) or:
• KEY xx PVN <PRDN for trunk> (non-ringing)

For an Analog (type 500) set: DN <PRDN for trunk>

LD 11 - Example:

Prompt	Response	Description
REQ:	CHG	Change
TYPE:	aaaa	Telephone type, where: aaaa = 2016, 2616, etc.
TN:	l s c u	Terminal Number (loop shelf card unit -or- card unit)
KEY:	xx PVN yyy...y	Private Line non-ringing key (yyy...y is the same as for PRDN prompt in LD 14)
	xx PVR yyy...y	Private Line ringing key (yyy...y is the same as for PRDN prompt in LD 14)

Notes:

• A Private Line should not be assigned as a Prime DN (Key 0) unless preselection is required.
• Call Forward on Private Lines is not forwarded to a second appearance of its own DN.
• Single line telephones with Private Line Service cannot access system features.
• A PRDN (Private Line phantom DN) is not meant to be dialed directly.
• Hunting does not apply to Private Line service.
• A hot line key cannot be to a PRDN.
