The hotline is like emergency phone with no keypad, and shall be connected to an identical phone automatically when it's placed in an off-hook condition?

seems very easy but i donot know where to configure this.

Thanks!

Hi there,

The step by step directions in this guide are very good (the principles should carry over nicely)

Hotline is a little different from PLAR -

hotline was introduced in 8.0 and is different from plar in that:

The hotline feature adds the additional restriction that hotline devices that receive calls will only receive calls from other hotline devices, and will reject non-hotline callers.

Hotline != Hotdial

Hotdial is PLAR

But Hotline is different .

We need please HotLine configuration steps.
