Hello everybody;
Can anyone help me to achieve this task. I have a panasonic KX-Tvm200 and I want to automatically call a designated number from a specific extension immediately after that extension goes off hook without the need to hit any button, it is something like a hot line or emergency call ?
Please advise
 
TVM200 is the voicemail system, so the exact steps would depend on what the actual phone system is - but yes, look for hot line or pickup dial.

As a quick example I just set it on one of my home system extensions (running on an NS700). You can see that 2002 (Living Room) has been set to dial 2004 (Kitchen) on pickup.

Thank you very much Shaun for your very helpful reply.
I have another question please; is there any way to give that hot line extension the maximum priority to use the outside lines?
i want that extension after hook up to immediately dial an emergency outside party phone number, and if all outside lines are busy, to seize one outside line by immediately finish the phone call on it and assign that line to that hot line extension to make its emergency call.
Thanks in advance.
