Out-bound call (line reservation on handset seizure)

In the previous section, we have described how traders must proceed to manually seize a line and initiate a call-out sequence.  

The system provides an option to reduce the number of operations in order to place a call through a shared DDI line.  It consists in setting the shared DDI line as the default extension for one or both handsets.  

This has the following results

•When traders press the button New on the handset, the first available DDI slot associated to the line is reserved; traders are then invited to dial in the phone number to be called or to press a shortcut/contact key ;

•Placing a call using one of the method below results in the call-out sequence to be automatically initiated from the selected handset and bound to the first available DDI slot : press a shortcut/contact key, recall a number from the call history, redial the last number, select an entry from the corporate directory ;
