Is it possible to configure 1 station to have 2 lines that are only used by that particular station i.e. not using a bridged appearance of another stations line. The scenario that I am trying to accomodate is the case where I have an office in London and an office in New York and when I make and receive calls to to customers in New York I want to use the NY line and when I make and receive calls to London I want to use the London line?
 
what kind of phone? IP sets would follow routing rules based on source IP/region/location, not the location of the brdg-appr
the most correct answer is dial plan considerations for NY to route over London's trunks when it makes most sense and vice versa
 
Hardware platform? Definity/CM/Aura Software version?

A great teacher, does not provide answers, but methods to teach others "How and where to find the answers"

Latest version of all. Customer is prepared to upgrade (or downgrade if required)

While I agree that the PABX should be making the routing decisions for outbound (and inbound). The use of the redial button becomes problematic in any other scenario... All that said, I suspect that there may be an (as yet) unmentioned requirement to be able to easily differentiate between inbound calls from US and UK sources - for which I don't know of an easy answer (oh for an IP office tag on the incoming call treatment...).

I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
My wish has come true. I no longer know how to use my telephone.
