Associating Intercom Lines to Phones
------------------------------------

.. _18.1-Patch-Bundle-3|EKB-262:

Navigate to a site hierarchy and choose
**Phones** under the **Subscriber Management** menu for the site.

To associate an Intercom line on the **Lines** tab of the **Phone** form,
first specify an Intercom partition
for the **Route Partition Name**. 

The simplified Line input form is presented,
showing only the supported Intercom line fields to be configured.

|Intercom-Lines-Phones-form|

* The **Pattern**  drop-down *only* shows existing Intercom lines. No new lines
  can be added.


Intercom and non-Intercom lines can both be associated to a single phone.

Associated Intercom lines will also show as "used" in the list view of the 
**Directory Number Inventory** menu under **Dial Plan Management** and its **Description**
in the list will also show as "Intercom Line".

Deleting the phone on the **Phones** list view
will then also show the Intercom line as not in use.
