Loop Keys

Switched Loop Keys

For incoming calls, Switched Loop Keys provide an appearance for any trunk not assigned to a line
key for which the extension has access and ringing. Switched Loop Keys insure that there is a
visual appearance for trunks that do not ring an extension's line keys.
For outgoing calls, Switched Loop Keys provide convenient access to the "dial 9" trunk groups. For
example, instead of pressing ICM and dialing 90 for trunk group 0, the user can just press the
Switched Loop Key and dial 0 instead.

Fixed Loop Keys

For incoming calls, the Fixed Loop Key works just like a Switched Loop Key. It provides an
appearance for any trunk not assigned to a line key for which the extension has access and ringing.
For outgoing calls, a Fixed Loop Key is a loop key assigned to a specific trunk group. When the
extension user presses the Fixed Loop Key for an outgoing call, they get the first trunk in the group
assigned to the key.
