Considerations

Note: The Spirit Auto Line Selection is different than Partner. It will only pick up lines that are assigned as eligible in ascending numeric order. For example: You cannot have the phone skip around from line 5 to 3 to 4.

Exception to 1224/2448 Auto Line Selections

The earliest release of the Spirit 1224/2448 systems (R6.1) did not have line 2 assigned as the first line to be picked up. They selected any lines that were assigned as eligible. R6.3 of the Spirit 1224/2448 followed the other Spirit systems, and selected Line 2, even if Line 1 is programmed as eligible.

There are two ways to determine which release of the Spirit system you have:

  1. Conduct a Controller Self Test:
  1. At extension 10, press Intercom, Speaker, *92448.
  2. Dial 9#*#.
  3. View the SPKR light.
    Off=R6.1
    On=R6.3.
  1. Power down the Control Unit and remove the processor board.
    On the board there will be a sticker labeled either: 'Vers. 6.1' or 'Vers. 6.3'.
    Version 6.1 will allow line 1 to be picked up, version 6.3 will only allow line 2 and higher to be picked up.
