Trunk Seizure Type and Simplified Dialing 
 
Implementing features, see also Manager E Trunk Seizure Type and Simplified Dialing

Definition  
HiPath 3000/5000 systems permit trunk seizure via the trunk keys or call keys on an optiPoint or OpenStage telephone.
Trunk seizure is also possible from any telephone using the trunk or trunk group codes. To seize the second trunk using a trunk or call key, Prime Line must be active and a second trunk group assigned.
Trunk seizure via trunk group code is not possible by entering the trunk group code and pressing the trunk group key.
When the system receives a seizure request, it searches for an available trunk in the trunk group. If a trunk is available, it is seized.
Prime Line (Simplified dialing)
The Simplified Dialing feature is a system-wide feature that allows users to dial directly to external destinations without the use of Trunk or Trunk Group keys. The external access code is automatically dialed by the system. Only one outgoing Trunk Group is possible with this arrangement. To dial internal stations, the user must first press the Internal key and dial the station number.
When this feature is NOT active in the system, the reverse operation is true; that is, internal stations can be dialed directly, while outside connections require a trunk, trunk group key or an access code.
In the case of systems equipped with simplified dialing (Prime Line), the following applies:
 •   The function key preset for call forwarding on OpenStage stations cannot be programmed with an internal forward destination. As a result of the simplified dialing, the system interprets this as forwarding to the exchange. For call forwarding to an internal forward destination, a freely-programmable touch/sensor key should be used.
 •   Internal station numbers in the missed calls list on OpenStage stations are handled in the same way as external station numbers.
