CO Line Loop and Pool Buttons
Description
A station not having a direct appearance for a CO line receives incoming CO calls and 
transferred CO calls under the LOOP button. Only one call at a time can be connected to a 
keyset on the LOOP button.

If more than one LOOP button is on a key set, the LOOP buttons may be conferenced 
together.

If all programmed LOOP buttons on a keyset are busy or have a CO call on hold, the party 
attempting to transfer a CO line to that station receives a busy tone and cannot transfer 
the call to that station.

If a transfer is attempted, the CO line recalls the initiator immediately.
CO lines are also presented to a Loop when dialing out using LCR or when using speed dial to 
dial out and the line chosen does not appear on the key station.
The Pool Group feature is used primarily to access CO lines that do not appear on a station, so 
that outgoing calls may be made. Pooled group keys are associated to CO line groups and 
may be programmed for use on any of the flexible buttons. CO lines are accessed in 
descending order of priority starting with the highest numbered available (not busy) CO line 
in a CO line group. Stations may have as many POOL buttons as there are CO line groups. 
Multiple POOL buttons for the same group are also allowed.

CO Line - Loop Supervision
Description
The XTS can be programmed to monitor CO lines while on-hold or connected to RAN devices 
or Voice Mail systems, or in Trunk-to-Trunk connections for disconnect signal provided by the 
Telco. After a disconnect signal is detected, the XTS releases the CO lines and automatically 
place them back in service.
Loop Supervision Programming
Description
Loop Supervision is used primarily with DISA, Voice Mail/Auto Attendant and with 
unsupervised conference applications. It lets the system detect when loop current is broken 
and an outside line is no longer being used. To determine timer value for loop supervision, 
consult your local central office for type and duration of loop supervision signal.
