Direct Inward Li ne (DIL)
3.14 Direct Inward Line (DIL)
A Direct Inward Line (DIL) is a trunk that rings an extension, virtual extension or Department Group
directly. Since DILs only ring one extension or group (i.e., the DIL destination), employees always know
which calls are for them. For example, a company operator can have a Direct Inward Line for International
Sales Information. When outside callers dial the DIL’s phone number, the call rings the operator on the
International Sales line key. The DIL does not ring other extensions.
The outside party can call an extension at a networked system, if the DIL trunk is set to route to the other
system.
Operation
1. An outside caller places a call to a DIL trunk.
2. The call will be routed to the networked system if the DIL target is defined as an extension in the net-
